We had a fantastic trip that Classic Journeys Africa planned for us down to the smallest detail.
As four adult ladies alone on tour, we felt safe from the moment we landed in Nairobi and met by our service-minded driver Chris.
A varied program was planned with interesting visits to selected places.
Our trip to Flamingo Hill Camp in Nakuru with Lorenz, our safari guide and driver, was a triumph, where we were guaranteed to see flamingos and the Rhinos, a promise that was certainly fulfilled.
Lorenz took us on to the Zebra Plains Mara Camp in Masai Mara, where the wildlife was absolutely fantastic!
We left the safari stay with four of the big five attached to the camera roll, no leopard to be seen, but an eating cheetah really made up for that.
Then we traveled on by train from Nairobi to Mombasa, where we were met by guide Nelson and driver Gabriel.
After an overnight stay at the wonderful Sarova Whitesands, (if we had known how beautiful that place was, we would have stayed longer) we traveled on to Malindi, where we got a warmly welcomed at the Sandeid Malindi Dream Garden.
The boat trip that was arranged for us with snorkelling and a visit to a sandbar rising out of the sea was a wonderful finale to our stay.
We can and will wholeheartedly recommend Classic Journeys Africa and their staff for their excellent service and work.

Excellent services
It has been absolute pleasure having Savannah as our tour partner for 3D masai mara safari. Lucy helped us from the beginning with customized quotation, good deals and other information about masai mara. One of the best things which I loved is timely response across all queries. Also, our tour guide Alex was wonderful to be with in those 3 days and he tried to show us the best spots throughout our journey and also helped with few food related issues with the lodge. Overall a great experience and 100% recommended!

Incredibly organized, did not have to worry about a thing!
I had the most incredible trip with Discover Africa Safaris. I did not have to worry about a thing and I really feel like I experienced everything I intended and more. Even at times when we wanted to make last minute changes, Lana was extremely receptive and helpful. I cannot recommend them more!

Professional safari operator who organised a tour for us according to our wishes at a good price
The owner (Albert) communicates very quickly and obligingly on every request and at almost any time of the day or night.
We made a five-day safari (four nights) in the middle range with Serengeti North, Serengeti Central and Lake Manyara NP.
As time was short we opted for an early morning flight from Arusha to Serengeti North, so that the safari could start in the Serengeti just one hour after take-off from Arusha. Including the flight, the package was available for US$ 2,080 per person for three travellers. That was unrivalled value for money.
As mid-range accommodation was no longer available, there was an upgrade to the luxury segment for one night at the expense of the operator. Money transfers from Germany, which we still arranged from Tanzania (from Zanzibar), arrived at the organiser in two days.
The guide (Baraka) arranged by Serengeti-Smile was not only friendly and personable, but also had great knowledge and an excellent sense of tracking down the entire animal spectrum (including the Big Five). We were also lucky enough to witness the great migration from an impressively close distance.

Warm and friendly.
This was one of the best vacations ever. We rate this tour guide and company very highly. Our guide Mr Samwel picked us up at the airport and drove us for a few days through Tanzania. In Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Mount Kilimanjaro. He was very nice and knowledgeable. The car was perfectly suited for Safaris and clean as well. We managed to see more animals than ever taught possible and even saw a successful lion hunt. Would go again any time!

A super friendly knowledgeable character
My daughter and I enjoyed a Mombasa city tour with Ruben. He not only showed us the usual tourist highlights - he was very communicative on life in Mombasa and in Kenya in general. Nothing was too much trouble, and he was a joy to deal with.

Amazing tour in Masai Mara
We did 3 days Masai Mara via Hellsgate national park. The tour was amazing - we saw 4 of the big 5 several times and our guide Walter was very friendly and super knowledgeable about the animals, land and even plants. He was also accomodating on any requests we were making around where we wanted to go. Other people I dealt with to get your booked was professional too - quick to reply and reliable. The accomodation we stayed at was great - clean, spacious and we had WiFi and hot shower. Food was also good. Overall I had the best time. Definitely recommend.
