Great trip with our guide Tony
Our guide/driver Tony was great and made our trip wonderful. He took the time to ear our meals with us to go over the trip plans and answer any questions we had.
The gorilla hike was amazing and definitely recommend it, the rangers were really helpful and great. Once in a lifetime trip and recommend doing it with Tony and Friendly Gorilla Safaris, they made our trip memorable.

Excellent guides
Tanzania is a fantastic Country. The people that I met, including guides, were always warm and smiling. The Country was beautiful. The owners of African Big Cat Safaris were recently part of the Safari that I went on.They were very knowlegable, warm and friendly , and had a sense of humor. They kept people informed and were good about sharing their love of Tanzinia and their own life. Lots of animals to see, including the migration.Not only were the animals great but we had interaction with the Tanzanian people and learned about their culture. We even were able to visit a Masai tribe. I recommend them highly. Thank you Emanuel and Eliza for making this trip the top of my bucket list. I will never forget it. A wonderful two weeks.

Great FIVE!
Our safari was pre-booked almost 2 months in advance. We have chosen to spend 5 days and visit Masai Mara, Nakuru lake and Naivasha.
Everything was proper organized camps, trips to national parks and food. However, camp in Masai Mara could be a little bit better. Room is good, but toilet facilities were way far to good one. Even though it didn’t spoil our experience of great nature.
Our driver James was just amazing! And yes.. we saw Big 5 including black rhino in Masai park. And it’s everything because of James. Last day in Devil Cave was not really impressive due to bad weather and we could manage to see the cave by itself. Nevertheless, it was great experience. But be ready to sit in the car a lot, to sleep in funky places and to have great fantastic trip to real Kenya.

Everyday was amazing. The service in every place really great. But most of all the experience was great thanks to the best tour guide Michael. Michael is brilliant, has a lot of knowledge, excellent english, very friendly and took care of everything we needed and every request that we had!
The tours to Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Serengeti and different tribes were really an experience of a lifetime!
Thanks to Michael it was even a better experience.

Once in a lifetime trip with our awesome tour guide Tony, definitely recommend it!!
Tony, our driver and tour guide, was absolutely wonderful. Not only is he a kind high-character person, he is very knowledgeable about Uganda and really took the time to answer all of our questions. Tony took the time to go the extra mile to ensure our entire trip was special, and to show us his culture and beautiful country. Every minute, from when arrived early to pick us up to when he helped us with our luggage at the airport at the end of our trip, we felt completely taken care of by Tony. Friendly Gorilla Safaris was wonderful, from Anthony promptly responding to all of our emails and questions, to Tony making our trip great. Definitely recommend them!
The Gorilla hike was absolutely amazing and a once in a lifetime experience, I could not recommend it enough! You have to do this tour and you have to ask for Tony to make it even more wonderful.
A couple tips:
- Ensure that the hotel is close to where your permitted hike is located. I did not know that there are 5 locations where you can hike to see the Gorillas, depending on where your permit is for. Double check that the hotel you stay at is convenient to your permit hike site. Our hotel was the Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge, which was absolutely Wonderful and you can check out my review of them, and they are close to one of the hiking sites but it turned out that our permit was for another location so we had a 2 hour drive in the morning to get to our permit hiking site. It made for an especially early morning and a closer hotel to our hike would have been nice. Though the Rushaga really was wonderful.
- If there is a way to choose where you hike and what group of gorillas to see then you should 100% ask for the Nyakagezi group. That is the group we visited, and it was Amazing. The hike was only about 1.5 hour to see the family of gorillas which had 3 silverbacks and 2 babies. The rangers we were with were all lovely. They were so helpful to ensure we got amazing views and photos of the gorillas, and they answered all of our questions. We felt completely safe with them and had a wonderful time.
Once in a lifetime trip with our awesome tour guide Tony, definitely recommend it!!

A magical week in Kenya thanks to our wonderful guide Alex!
Communication with Monkey Adventures was very smooth: quick replies and simple booking process. Monkey Adventures offered several options for accommodation and helped us in choosing the most convenient hotels for the route we wanted.
Service was better than we could have imaged: we were greeted at the airport by a representative from Monkey Adventures and presented to our guide Alex, who joined us for a 6 days safari. Alex did a wonderful job: he is very knowledgeable, friendly and one of the most interesting persons that we met from all our trips. That is a very important characteristics when you think that you are going to spend so much time with the guide. For this reason we highly recommend to do your trips with Alex!
Last but not least, Alex had a wonderful knowledge of the birds of Kenya. This really turns your Big 5 into Big colourful 500!

Everything worked just as we had hoped.
Our 2 drivers were extremely professional, pleasant and just amazing. Our game drives turned to be quite successful based on the number of different wildlife we saw. I would use Classic Journeys Africa again without hesitation. The lodge where we stayed was just magical and the staff there were professional and on point. Thank you everyone at Keekorok Lodge!
