Excelence!
Very helpfull and professional, extremly good knowledge about the animals. English was perfect, and was easy to comunicate with. Very service minded and goes the extra mile for the customer! Very good with children! We had realy high expectations for the safari tour, and our driver Mwangi just made it even better than we had dreamed of. Would definitly want to go with him again! We had the best time!

Excellent safari - definitely worth the experience.
Charles was very prompt in communications, very clear with all of the arrangements. We had changes that were easily accommodated and our guides were excellent. We were set up at very nice locations inside the parks and the transfers and safaris were very easy. Excellent trip overall!

Amazing Tanzania!
We traveled with Classic Journeys on our honeymoon through Hisbiscus travel in Norway. We had an amazing trip with game drives in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater.
Our guide Madgi (sorry if that's not spelled correct) took such good care of us, and made this an experience we will cherish forever. He has so much knowledge and passion for the animals, and told us everything we wanted to know along the way. It was a pleasure getting to know him, and we hope to see him again sometime. We can't thank him enough.
In addition to spending the night in nice lodges, we spent two nights in a tented camp in Serengeti. This is one of the things that really surprised us, and we loved it! "A must do" when going on safari!

Kenya Safari - Amboselli, Nakuru, Masai Mara
Organisation from Classic Journeys was excellent, from picking us up at the airport when we arrive to our driver Dixon making an extra effort to make sure we made our flight to Zanzibar. Dixon was knowledgeable and looked after us very well. There were a few long drives but overall standard of accommodation was great and we saw an abundance of wildlife. I would recommend booking the hot air baloon safari, it really is a once in a lifetime experience.
Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Recommended.
Wonderful safari, guided by excellent people
I was worried about my trip due to the stories my husband had told me about his self-drive safaris! I wanted a safe, guided safari with lots of close encounters with animals. My fears quickly disappeared when first, our group of 2 families, were met at Nairobi airport by one of our guides for Kenya, John and then met our other guide, Anthony, the next morning. They could not have been more kind and helpful. They explained everything that would happen and were always prompt and both interested and interesting. They looked after us brilliantly and we saw many amazing sites. They handed us over to our Tanzanian guides, Abasi and Maji, at the border and once again we were greeted with kindness and courtesy. They were also very knowledgeable and experienced, finding us breathtaking close encounters with nearly every animal we were hoping to see. Only the elusive Black Rhino escaped them and us. All our guides were so knowledgeable about both animals, including the many birds, and also the local communities that we passed through. They were most interested in us and in ensuring that we had the best time possible. We were left with brilliant memories and I have no hesitation in recommended this caring, resourceful and knowledgeable team.

Perfect Safari
We had an excellent safari with Classic Journeys. The guide Benson was extremely passionate and knowledgable about Africa's incredible wildlife, the accommodation was excellent and everything ran really smoothly. We even managed to see all of the Big Five!
Charles the tour organiser was also extremely communicative and flexible with our arrangements before departure. It really was the perfect safari.

A truly delightful guide, who was knowledgable and extraordinarily helpful to our visit.
This was our first visit to East Africa. We were met by Mathew who was with us in the beginning and then later when we returned from Tanzania. Mathew went beyond what we expected especially on our last day. We had to check out of the hotel by 10:00 but our flight did not leave until 16:00 so Mathew was able to fill in the time for us and enabled us to get a glimpse of downtown Nairobi, which we would otherwise have missed. Communications were excellent and the service was outstanding. Mathew gave us a great introduction to Kenya and a great farewell day to complete what was a very enjoyable and fulfilling visit to East Africa. I would have no hesitation in recommending classic Journeys to anyone who was interested in visiting Kenya.

What an adventure!
From the very first e-mail to our airport drop off at the end of our trip, Classic Journeys Africa exceeded our expectations. Communication was exemplary. My questions (and there were many!) and concerns were answered quickly and efficiently. Elvis is very good as his job! Our guides were knowledgeable, polite, nice and fun. We are a family of four with teen children and frequent international travelers. This was our best trip to date! We will definitely travel to Africa again and we would absolutely book another safari through Classic Journeys Africa.
Everything went according to schedule. Employies nice and clever
We stayed at nice hotels. The drivers were experienced and drove carefully. The cars were very god.
The safari were excepionally good. The guides were knowledgable and good at comunicating. We have been on many other safaries, but never had so good guides as John and Derieck. Basecamp Masai Mara was a wonderful place. Eagle View had a exceptionally nice view. The employies on both Places were very pleasant and Nice. The Food was very good.
We also like the business philosophy of Basecamp Explorer.
