Most amazing experience of my life!!
My mom and I took a trip to Kenya in March and I do not have enough words to explain how amazing it was! We flew into Nairobi and then Classic Journeys picked us up for our safari right at our hotel. The entire experience was top notch, from our wonderful and informative guide Charles to our stay at Loyk Mara Camp to the delicious food and of course, seeing so many animals in their natural habitat.
Our accommodations were pristine and the staff was so friendly and helpful. It was definitely like "glamping," but I will never forget falling asleep to all the sounds of the Masai Mara (mostly hippos calling out in the night).
I am not kidding when I say I have thought about this trip every single day since we have been back, longing to hop on a plane and go back and take all of my family and friends with me. If you are thinking about going to Kenya and booking with Classic Journeys, DO IT!! You will not regret it one bit.

An amazing experience viewing the wild animals in the beautiful Maasai Mara.
The Maasai Mara is a 6 hour drive from Nairobi and half of this is on rough or non existent road but well worth the journey. It was supposed to be the rainy season but we saw little rain which is not good for the animals or crops. Our guide John was fantastic, he ensured that we saw as much of the wildlife as we could possibly see, unfortunately we missed out on the rhino of the big 5. We visited the Maasai Warrior village where we were made very welcome and we were able to view the traditional way of life and meet the villagers. We stayed at Sopa Lodge where accommodation and food were excellent. The scenery was breath taking, so beautiful, it was a fantastic trip.

One in a life time experience!
This was a memorable experience. As a woman traveling alone I highly recommend this Safari. Everyone was really kind and Kikitu, our travel guide was the best. We got to see all the animals at the Massai. Acommodation was great as well! I completely recommend all the experience.

Excellent
We saw all the big five and much more in the Masai Mara game reserve. The roads to the Masai Mara from Nairobi were a mixture of good to really bad bone shaking with the latter part of the journey near and into the reserve the worst. The lodge that we stayed at was good although due to renovations some of the amenities were not available. Food was very good as was the friendliness of the staff. Scenery in the Masai Mara is not that spectacular apart from the wildlife. Our guide was excellent and knew his stuff to ensure we saw all that you could hope to see. Weather was ideal as it was not too hot. We also visited Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru again both really nice and the lodge in Lake Nakuru game park was excellent.

Exceptional journey
I've been asked recently what was my favorite trip (I've travelled to nearly 30 countries), and while it's hard to answer, Kenya will definitely be apart.
I did not know what to expect really, it's been breath-taking. The safari was beyond my expectations and the few days in Diani were very restful.
Kenyan people are very friendly and you can feel good vibes in this country.
Clearly a must-visit (always with good vibes!)

Great trip, saw every animal imaginable.
Well arranged and executed' the trip was exceptional. Great guides' especially James. He got us out to see every animal you can name. Was a well of information and very patient. The hotels were great with very good food and lots of it. Very comfortable and not crowded as we were off season (end of May). Great fun. Long trips but well worth it.

6 beautiful days in Kenya
Going in with low expectations, Kenya blew our minds with everything from its happy and hospitable people, the greenery all around, the scenic drives, the atmospheric Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and the actual safaris. The lodges were unique and an experience in themselves, food was good and the only word to sum up our spur of the moment holiday is Wow! Kenya, we will be back!

WILD!
The scenery was beautiful - it was a bit hard to spot animals during this month because the rainy season had just ended and therefore everything was green with leaves and full.
