Maurice M Nzwii was wonderful, thoughtful, thorough and listen to what we wanted and delivered.
If you're looking for an incredible safari experience in Kenya, I highly recommend booking your trip through Africa Safari Classics, Maurice our travel agent was fabulous. He made sure all the places we stayed new it was our 25th wedding anniversary. They made each place stay so special. Our trip to Kenya, which included stays in Nairobi, Amboseli, Samburu, and Masa Mora and Diani Beach was nothing short of unforgettable.
Firstly, to Nairobi. The highlight of our trip was definitely visiting the Sheldricks Elephant Orphanage and witnessing the feeding of the adorable baby elephants. I also had an incredible experience at the Giraffe Center where I got the chance to feed these majestic creatures and learn so much about them from the knowledgeable guides. Another highlight was visiting the Kazuri Bead Factory where I learned about its inspiring mission to empower single women and observed the intricate process of bead-making.
Next off to Amboseli, we stayed at Tortilis Camp that overlooked the stunning Mount Kilimanjaro. The views from our room were breathtaking and the lodge was well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The highlight of our time at Amboseli was getting up close and personal with the elephants during a game drives well as a pride of Lions with babies. We were able to watch them play and interact with each other in their natural habitat, which was a truly special experience. We also visited the local village of the Masa tribe. the people were so friendly and you could see the importance of community with in the village. It truly was inspiring.
Then to Sumburu, which was another amazing destination. We stayed at Samburu Saruni Villa. The scenery from our suite was breathtaking, with the mountains in the distance. During our game drives, we were able to spot a wide variety of animals, including zebras, giraffes, baboons and a three sibling cheetah eating a resent kill.
The last of our safari's we ended with Masa Mora. It was an absolute highlight of the trip. The Entim Mara is stunning and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. We went on multiple game drives during our stay and were lucky enough to see a whole pride of lions with cubs, a herd of elephants with babies, hippo's, cheetah and hyenas to name a few. The food at Masa Mora was also exceptional, with a great variety of dishes that catered to all dietary needs.
Finally, we ended our trip at Diani Beach in Kenya. It was absolutely unforgettable! We stayed at the Almanara Resort, which was nothing short of breathtaking. The view from our room was simply stunning, with a picturesque view of the beach and the sound of the ocean providing the perfect backdrop for our stay. The accommodations were top-notch, with every detail thoughtfully considered - from the comfortable bed to the air conditioning that kept us cool while we herein the room. One of the highlights of our stay was spotting monkeys on the resort property. Overall, Diani Beach is the perfect destination for anyone looking to relax, unwind, and soak up the natural beauty of Kenya's stunning coastline. I highly recommend the Almanara Resort for anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable experience.
Overall, I highly recommend booking your trip to Kenya with Africa Safari Classics. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate about the wildlife, the accommodations were top-notch, and the overall experience was truly unforgettable. I can't wait to book another trip with them in the future!

Wonderful to visit with very friendly people
We have been on safari before, having lived in Africa. However, this trip was not only exhilarating and exciting, but also extremely informative as our guide was superb and knowledgeable. The roads are difficult to negotiate, being mostly dust and potholed but it's all part of the experience. Maun airport, the jumping off point for the Okavango is airy, light and with sufficient seating. The team with whom we toured were delightful.

Amazing Safari with amazing guide
The Safari was beyond our expectations. The hotels were very nice and cozy, and Joseph our guide is a very nice person. He knows a lot about animals and is great looking for them. We were able to see the big five and lots of more animals we did not even know they exist.
We loved the route he chose for us, because we squeezed every second of the days. We had a 8 nights Safari through Kenia and Tanzania and we visited the most important parks of both country's
The car was very comfortable and spacious.
We highly recommend Joseph and White plains safaris

Reliable company for a trip to Rwanda!
Incredible tour. I did a chimpanzee trek and a canopy hike in Nyungwe National Park, which was an amazing experience! New Horizon was very good at communication leading up to and on my trip. My guide Emmanuel was wonderful - organizing everything and making sure all went smoothly. As a woman traveling alone, I felt incredibly safe the whole time. I highly recommend using this company when traveling in Rwanda!

An unforgettable experience!
My experience with Suricata Safaris was absolutely incredible! My best friend and I opted to do the 5 day safari with lodging options, and we can’t say enough great things. Even from our initial conversations, Hilary was so welcoming and so quick to respond to each of my many emails.
We were a bit worried about it being the rainy season, but we got lucky with the rain mostly at night. Our guide Lewis was amazing - he was even able to spot a black rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater that we would have assumed was just a rock in the distance before it stood up! We were able to spot the Big 5, as well as families of elephants, more types of antelopes than I even knew existed, monkeys, hyenas, tons of beautifully colored birds, and so much more.
Our chef Moussa was awesome as well - we loved every single meal! It was such a cool experience to eat delicious lunches in the national parks.
This was my first trip to Tanzania, but it will definitely not be my last. Asante sana to all of the Suricata Safaris team!
Excellent 4 days and fantastic customer service
Our itinerary was planned around what my Mum and I wanted so it was personal to our needs. They sent the itinerary and quote over email and WhatsApp so I could ask further specific questions efficiently. Overall, we expected it to be an expensive holiday but we don’t regret paying what we did because the hotel (Lyok Mara Luxury Camp) was amazing. Our personal driver was so kind, provided excellent knowledge about the animals and took good care of my Mum’s mobility needs. We saw hippos, elephants, giraffes, lions, hyenas, buffalos, crocodiles, various species of birds and the beautiful scenery of the Masai Mara. We also did the hot air balloon Safari which ended with a champagne breakfast plus visited the maasai people village. I highly recommend anyone using Bateleur Eagle Safari.

Great Genuine experience the whole way through!
I would love to commend Gorilla O'Clock for putting together a wonderful and within budget safari for myself and partner. From the moment I spoke to Mr.Paul I was drawn to work with them. The arrangements did not cost me any more energy than a few phone calls.
I brought my vegan partner who is a foreigner for her first ever safari and both she and I loved it. Everything was taken care of from start to finish. The guide, Khalif, was a great person in general and very honest with us both, he drove safely and was very accommodating till the end.
The second park especially, had a very welcoming vibe and they treated us with care. They were even able to offer vegan options that are hard to come by in the capital city. If I could do it again I'd go with Gorilla O'Clock.

This guy knows exactly where the lions sleep tonight
Hassan is the perfect driver. He knows everything about Safari. He speaks fluent German, English and I don’t know what else. We had a really good time, saw a lot of animals, slept in beautiful camps with great food. Friendly people all over the place. What can I say? Book a tour!

We organize a 6 days safari with mid-range lodges and we had a great experience. Our guide Sam was super professional ad we spent an amazing holiday. The communication with Johann was very easy and he organized for us also the train transfer.
Good price for an amazing experience.
