Safari booking for a chance to see the Great Migration
Classic Journeys were absolute great.
Matthew was absolutely fantastic, the reception at the airport was great, and the organization for the hotels was without hassle.
Also Matthew went out his way to accommodate us on our return from the Mara. He went and purchased items for us, and accompanied us to local markets.
I need to say this was a fantastic service and highly recommend to anyone.
Thank you Matthew and Classic Journeys

Great planning, great execution, great trip!
We booked flights to/from Nairobi with no idea of how to plan a safari. We spent time online and asking friends and acquaintances who had been before for recommendations. We engaged with three different companies and settled quickly on Inclusive Holidays Africa based on great recommendation from a friend and the flexibility they offered in working with us to custom plan just what we wanted.
Charles was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and was very patient with answering all our questions and making revisions to the proposed itinerary to meet all our needs and desires. He reconfirmed all just before our departure.
Every logistical handoff was perfect - not a hiccup. We were met at the airport by Moses, our first driver/guide and he was great. He was also very flexible and gave good suggestions and advice while also listening to our desires and moods. We took a local flight and met Joseph, our next driver/guide at Masai Mara. Joseph was also terrific and accommodated every request and seemed to have a great feel for the wildlife and knew just where to go.
The places we stayed were all different and all lovely. Not enough good things to say about any of them. Clearly the folks at Inclusive Holidays Africa have great first hand knowledge of these properties as they picked them for us based on our descriptions of what we like and some discussion over web sites of some of the options. It is so good to have people involved who really know the properties - they can ensure you end up where you will be most comfortable and happy!
We had a fantastic trip and hated to leave! We are already talking about how we can go back - and would definitely use IHA again and certainly recommend it to others!

Unusual holidays in Africa
We have been very lucky to spend our holiday in Namibia and Botswana organised by Safpol Safaris. This was our second time we travelled with them. Last year Safpol organised for us a fantastic round tour of South Africa.
First of all we would like to emphasize the competence of our tour guide Peter, his knowledge about the visited countries, warmth and willingness to take care of all of our whims. Not to mention the ability to cope with any situation. Peter surprised us with his driving skills, driving mainly on the dirt and bumpy roads in Namibia and Botswana. It was surprising also to other tourists that we met on the road. We felt absolutely safe with Peter. He also shared with us his knowledge about wild animals and their behaviour, as well as the flora of this interesting Southern African region.
I would like also to mention a great selection of hotels and lodges where we stayed and where we had delicious dinners and breakfasts. Fantastic ideas for picnics on the road. Cold drinks were always available on our way: water, coke or beer.
To sum up, the tour has exceeded our expectations. We received a fantastic service for a very affordable price. That is what we consider a really good value for money! Everything was perfect and well prepared, and wherever we arrived, transport, pickup, transfers always worked perfectly. Safpol Safaris is a trustworthy company, always responsive in communications and very understanding of our needs.
We would recommend Safpol Safaris to anyone wishing to go to Africa, in fact we have already done so.

Fantastic efficient personal service, brilliant local knowledge and advice. Great holiday!
Allison was fantastic. She helped put together the most amazing holiday we have ever had. She responded to all our queries so quickly and made suggestions and down to earth advice which was invaluable when planning a holiday in an unknown country. She seemed to know all the lodges personally and the map and road distances provided were so useful. We felt very confident in Allison's arrangements which enabled us to have a stress free holiday
We were also very pleased that Allison is based in Namibia. When we had a damaged hire car - which the hire company dealt with very efficiently - Allison was able to contact the hire company and get back to us with an update in a matter of minutes; it is hard to see how a company based in the UK could do that however good they are.
The website was extremely useful and easy to use. The information on accommodation and alternatives with reviews was brilliant.
We cannot thank her enough.

Excellent in every way
Excellent service. Prior to departure there was a lot of useful advice which made our trip go much more smoothly. All of the arrangements were faultless, from start to finish we were well looked after and made to feel like royalty with the attention to detail.
Very impressed with the extra special detail of arranging a surprise birthday cake which the trip was celebrating. I would recommend Plant Africa and I would definitely use them again.

Great Safari experience, very well organised. I would use again!
I had a really great time during my safari to the Queen Elizabeth National Park with Gorilla Link Tours. Prior to my arrival I was in contact by email with Carol at Gorilla Link Tours, who offered me a lot of options in terms of parks to visit, length of the visit, budget and accommodation.
Richard Tayebwa was my guide, and I couldn't be happier with him. He is a great guide, very kind and knowledgeable about Uganda's fauna (especially birds!), flora and History, and he takes safety very seriously (especially when driving, which seems to be quite risky in some Ugandan roads!). He was always looking after my needs and very keen to please me.
I went to the Queen Elizabeth National park where I spent some time on a game drive during which I got to see lots of animals (elephants, baboons, different types of antelopes, buffalos, warthogs, eagles, vultures, cranes...). That day the lions were far away from the park because it was mating season, but Richard didn't rest until we found them, very last minute, and it was amazing to see them. I also enjoyed the boat trip over the Kazinga channel, where you can see literally hundreds of animals on the shore, and very close. Lots of hippos, elephants, buffalos, some crocodiles, kingfishers, cormorants, pelicans, spoonbills, storks... Within the park, I stayed 2 nights at the Marafiki Safari lodge. The views over the lake while having breakfast and dinner were amazing, the food was excellent and the staff very kind.
On our way to the QENP, Richard took me to the outside of the Lake Mburo NP where, without actually entering the park, we saw zebras and impalas, which you can't see in the QENP.
I definitively recommend Gorilla Link Tours for a Safari Tour in Uganda.
