Excellent!
I‘ll be honest, I’m not one for writing reviews, but this time I found myself wanting to share my experience of the excellent service from Morris and his team and the great care he took to make sure our group of four women, had the best time possible.
It all started with Morris taking the time to meet us on day 1, which was a great opportunity to ask questions about the trip and Kenya in general.
The 5 night/6 day safari was expertly planned and executed. The flow was spot on, with stays at three different lodges and entry to four parks/reserves. We were very lucky to see all of the Big 5 and so so much more. I would say most of this rested with Tony ( or Lucky Tony, as we called him) who was without exception, polite, flexible and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and areas. His enthusiasm and determination really made the trip.
This was all supported by outstanding accommodation, each lodge with slightly different offerings, but all absolutely delightful and so friendly, it would be hard not to enjoy. Without exception, the food was amazing, with lots of choice and so tasty.
I would have no problem to recommend Morris and his team to anyone.

Would Highly Recommend
Every aspect of the service provided by Africa Safari Classics was outstanding. Starting from our initial contact with Maurice right through to the very last day of our trip when he took the time to meet up with us in Nairobi to hear about our adventure. He was always courteous, very responsive and genuinely invested in ensuring we had the best experience we could.
We had a wonderful safari taking in Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Our driver and guide Tony was great, very knowledgeable and fun to be with! We were incredibly lucky and saw all the "Big Five" thanks to Tony!
All the camps chosen for us by Maurice were above and beyond what we had expected on a safari. They were incredible in terms of quality, location, facilities and such fabulous staff!
Huge thanks to Africa Safari Classics for making our trip all that we had hoped for. Xxx

Tanzania with Zanzibar - best trip in my life
I had the great pleasure of taking a private, two and a half week trip to Tanzania, safari and stay in Zanzibar, organized by Africa Safari Classics. The safari included the National Parks: Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and additionally Olduvai Gorge. Accommodation at Venus Premier Hotel, Tarangire Osupuko Lodges, Migunga Tented Camp, Robin Safari Camp Serengeti was very good, close to the entrances or in the parks itself with delicious food and excellent, very friendly service. In particular, Migunga Tented Camp very close to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Kuhama Camp – both tents very clean, without any insects. What's more, from the lodge in Osupuko Camp at Tarangire National Park, I had the pleasure of observing a herd of waterbucks in the morning and at evening, and in the Migunga Tented Camp - Marabou storks. The internal As Salaam Air flight from Arusha Airport to Zanzibar and the transfer to the Nur Beach Resort Hotel went very smoothly.
Staying at the Nur Beach Resort right on Jambiani Beach on the east coast of Zanzibar was also a perfect choice. I had my own hut, the food and service were excellent, and thanks to the complete silence around the clock, I could relax. It was also difficult to find a better location on the whole island (during my stay in Zanzibar I was also on the beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa – very nice but relatively small and very crowded with tourists) – from the hotel I could go for many hours long walks along the beach, because in this part of the island individual beaches form a several-kilometer-long series of beaches – the longest in the whole of Zanzibar. I also had the opportunity to take tours of the island, which allowed me to explore Stone Town, Prison Island, Jozani Forest, spice farm, and Mangapwani Cave.
Maurice, Sales Director deserves special recognition for the excellent organization of the entire trip, including the choice of accommodation, professionalism, excellent contact, daily support and commitment to ensure that the program is done in the smallest detail and with safety. I am no less grateful to the guide and driver Ally, who constantly provided me with a great deal of knowledge about the country, the characteristics and customs of the wild animals observed. Thanks to his excellent commitment and perfect daily cooperation in spotting animals, I had the opportunity to see many animals, not only: elephants, lions, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, Grant and Thomson's gazelles, hippos, ... but also many for the first time in nature – with the leopard at the forefront in the Serengeti Park.
All this makes the trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar organized by Africa Safari Classics an unforgettable experience for me and without a doubt the best trip I have made so far in my life. I highly recommend Africa Safari Classics!

Another excellent Experience with Maurice and the team!
We have just completed our 3rd trip to Kenya with Africa Safari Classics.
As ever the quality of service is outstanding in each and every aspect.
Maurice was always on top of all the details and organized our trip exactly to our expectations.
Peter, our driver (for the second time), did an amazing job. He is so patient and willing to share his knowledge of the park and wildlife. Constantly making sure we spend enough time at the sighting and also searching for unique opportunities for us.
I can't recommend Africa Safari Classics enough. Simply amazing!

Great safari in Tanzania, Kenya & Rwanda
My wife and I hired Africa Safari Classics for our honeymoon to Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda. We'd never been to East Africa or on safari so there was a learning curve to both. Maurice did a great job taking the ideal trip we described and turning it into an itinerary that worked for us. He took to heart that we wanted to prioritize time in the bush seeing animals and cared less about fancy lodging and amenities (this was hard to get through to other outfitters when we told them it was our honeymoon). Maurice's meticulous attention to detail put us at ease leading up to and during the trip. He was always available to answer questions, checked in about how things were going, and set us up with professional, smart and fun guides for each leg of our trip. I'd definitely recommend Africa Safari Classics to friends and family.
