Fantastic and recommended to all
Booked onto a 6 day classic safari. Booking process was great with lots of communication and emails. Classic journeys give great flexiabilty as we changed the tour and were we wanted to stay. Classic journeys were very happy to accommodate.
The driver Charles was amazing! He went out his way to get us the best spots on safari and took us to the best locations. He had great knowledge about the animals and local areas.
All 3 lodges on the tour were excellent and great standard. Would recommend this company and Charles for further safari tours.

Great experience
Communications was good but there is an opportunity to improve about driving distance and time consuming... the driver said: -we’ll be there in 1hour and 1/2; after that period of time he said again: -It will be another 1 and a half. Finally it took total of 7 hours to arrive to the place! Anyways, it is not possible to trust the conditions of the roads, so I understand it is not the driver fault.

THE BEST
I had the time of my life. I will be back and will also bring more items to the children of Kenya. I brought books, pen, pencils and some cloths. I enjoyed my time seeing the wildlife in its natural environment. I have already talked with others about going to Kenya and suggested your company as a source of transportation and guide.

Very easy to work with, great communicators, amazing experience.
The tour exceeded my expectations and was amazing. They did a great job of setting everything up for us even when we kept changing the schedule and amount of people coming. I’d highly recommend them!

Amazing views of some of the best places
Our tour was just amazing. From the meet and greet to the final farewell.
I saw the big 5 and more! Our tour guides and drivers were just great! They are all very accommodating and knowledgeable in all aspects.
Just wished we had better roads ( but that comes with the country) I would definitely come back and do it all over again.
The accommodations were beyond my expectation! Truly amazing experience

Fantastic safari in Masai Mara
From start to finish this safari ecxceeded all our expectations. Our driver Jackson was brilliant, and Ashnil Mara Camp was a great place to stay.
We ended up seeing 33 lions, 2 leopards and 5 cheetahs. Don't hesitate - just book.

We liked adventure, it was good enough, although the travelling between the camps was exausted.
We bought the 6 day Classic Best of Kenya.
-Generally, the people were amazing in terms of customer sat and attention to our needs and details. Our passionate and private guide James is really knowledgeable and make us lived the adventure in the jungle and the wild. As a former British colony, the communications were simple and strait forward although we learned some Swahili words in order to communicate with the Masai. The ultimate safari experience for us would have been a shorter travelling time (we spent almost 2 1/2 full days travelling by road from point to point); Here is our suggestion: from the airport, if you arrive at night, Longview suite in Nairobi, then Amboseli (2 days), Mara 2 days and last day in Nairobi. Nakuru does not worth the visiting. Food was ok. For bio brakes, stops were in tourists spots. We would have preferred non tourist traps. Lastly, ask for a jeep or equivalent instead of a caravan if you are travelling between January through the rain season, each $ of the extra $500 worth it (I haven't took it and according to folks who did, the confort was definitely better because of the road conditions). Overall good but definitely could have been better. Thanks to the whole Classic Journey team who made our safari unforgettable!

We felt welcome and very well taken care of by warm people who gave us a journey of a lifetime!
The Whole experience With Classic Journeys was far Beyond all my expectations! Friendliness, care, service, knowledge, skills, flexibility, everything! Matthew met us at the airport in the middle of the night With his warm smile and took us safely to the hotel. The NeXT morning Anthony was there to pick us up for a six days safari in Amboseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara! Anthony is absolutely fantastic in every thinkable way! All the Things he knows, where to go, HOW to get there... Taking care of my mom and me like we were Family, teaching us about all the animals, the cities, the country, the culture... DRIVING safely and routined like he was a world class rally-driver on those roads (especially in Masai Mara...)! Impressive! I feel a deep respect for Anthony and the job he does. Can't think of anything he could possibly do better... He gave us memories for a Lifetime! THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANTHONY! Thank you, also, Matthew, for bringing us hats in Naivasha!!!
I allready recommended Classic Journeys to others!
