Awesome wildlife against amazing backdrops
Our journey started from Nairobi and we were grateful enough to spend some time in the wilderness at various locations in Kenya. The great rift valley, Mt. Kenya, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hells' Gate, the famed Masai Mara, Amboseli, all provided mind blowing backdrops for the various wildlife. Transportation and guide was arranged by Lian Travels and the support provided during planning stage and throughout the trip is commendable. Few of the hotels worth mentioning in terms of their ambience, hospitality, are Sopa Lodge at Nakuru, Fig Tree at Masai Mara, Kibo at Amboseli. The weather was pleasant during our stay.

Maurice planned a perfect trip for us after we told him exactly which areas we wanted to visit.
We recently returned from an 11-night (13 counting air flights) Kenya safari, visiting 5 lodges. We had contacted Maurice at Africa Safari Classics with a list of the areas we wanted to visit. He quickly organized an acceptable trip that the four us were very happy with. The wildlife was fantastic, the lodges were memorable, the two drivers were knowledgeable and capable, and quickly adjusted to our wish to be able to identify the bird life as well as all the mammals. We saw 42 species of mammals, a tortoise, a large snake, a variety of lizards, and over 200 species of birds. Every day was an adventure! The best part was interacting with the friendly local people.
Thank you so much, Maurice, Muli, and Francis. We highly recommend you to anyone who wishes to visit Africa!

Trip of a lifetime in Tanzania with Flash Safaris!
For anyone considering a safari, I highly recommend going through Flash Safaris for their own trip of a lifetime! My husband and I traveled to Tanzania in September of 2018. We would never have known how to choose the country, the parks, the time of year, lodgings, etc. on our own. My cousin had traveled to Tanzania with Flash Safaris five years prior. She had such an incredible experience, she invited us along for the second safari. Magda Vrijs was incredibly responsive to e-mails ahead and time, and arranged everything down the last detail (including arranging for vegan meals). Our driver / safari guide was so knowledgeable and easy to get along with, which made our day-long adventures on the plains such a joy! He was incredible at spotting wildlife, and we saw so much more than we ever expected to see. Our visit to the Maasai Lodge was just an added delight at the end of our travels. The service at all of our lodges and camps were top-notch and beyond my expectations. I recommend Flash Safaris and Magda Vrijs without reservation for anyone thinking about traveling to Africa for a safari. We hope to get back again in a couple of years, and will definitely ask Madga to help us plan that trip!

Incredible Safari Experience - couldn't recommend enough!
We booked a private 4 day Safari with Endless Summer Tours and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. We booked the safari only a week before departing for our trip and we arrived into Jo'burg airport to be greeted by Rhys who drive us up to Kruger. As soon as we arrived in the park the windows went down and the animal sightings began. Due to Rhys' incredible experience and eyes we saw so many more animals than we ever expected. Having dreamt of going on safari all my life it really was a trip of a lifetime for us. Another highlight was the delicious and plentiful food cooked by Rhys, it was a great intro into South African food and we really felt spoilt. We had the best time with Rhys and haven't been able to stop talking about it since we've got home. We really couldn't recommend enough.

Big 5 Voyage is your best choice
I just finished a 3 day budget camping safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro and I recommend 100%!
Amon replied all my e-mails with doubts and helped me a lot. Steve was a great and very experienced driver, he has skills to find the animals and to drive softly in a bumping road (I even was able to sleep during the car drives) and Matthew prepares lots of excellent food (I ate very well all days).
They are friendly and you can trust them. I am a solo female traveller and they put me in a group with more 3 people (around the same age), so it worked very well. They bring all the stuff in the car and lots of comfort for a Budget camping!
The views are stunning and there are quick stops for pictures and washroom.
I do not have a single complain for this trip.
Lots of success to Big 5!!

Incredible safari in Kenya, a good guide makes a big difference
We had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya, thanks to Bushtroop and in particular to our guide Nester Torome. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to Kenya.
Communication is smooth and straightforward. Jacqueline was one of the earliest to respond to our query, and was always responsive to our follow up requests. On arrival, she gave us a warm welcome at the airport, despite having to wait for us for over an hour as we were held up inside.
Our guide Nester is very friendly and professional. He was always on time and in a cheerful mood despite hours and hours of driving. He has superb knowledge in animals and a passion in birds, whilst showing great respect to the wild animals. His vision is extraordinary. Very often he spot animals with naked eyes, while it took me a long time to find with my binoculars. It was his extremely sharp vision that helped us spot a critically-endangered black rhino in Lake Nakuru. He works hard to ensure we had good game viewing, driving long distance in Masai Mara just so we can see both cheetahs and leopards in one afternoon.
We are really grateful for Bushtroop and Nester for such an experience and hope to return soon.
