Professionals
Professional service and a holiday of a lifetime. Despite the problems with transport, problems have been solved quickly and effectively. This was our first trip to Kenya, I am sure we will return. I would recommend Classic Joueys as it is a reliable operator who cares about its customers and the has a high level of service. Greetings to Elvis;-)

Attended their 4 day tour to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and saw all the BIG FIVE!
As a solo traveller I was impressed by the personal greeting service offered by Okoa. When I arrived at 4am in Nairobi I had a guide meeting me at the coach station. Likewise the guide dropped me off at the coach station in Nakuru so I could take the return coach to Kakamega where I worked as an NGO volunteer.
The accommodation in Masai Mara was basic and they did not cater well for vegetarians. However, the hotel Waterbuck in Nakuru did - indeed well beyond my expectations after my experience in the Masai Masa.
The safaris themselves were excellent! The guide friendly and approachable. We saw all the big fives in Masai Mara and he even took us our an early morning ride, which was not part of the tour!
Lake Nakuru was a little bit disappointing as many birds were gone but part of the countryside was stunning and the hotel great. Overall I great 4 day tour and I would recommend the touring company to my friends!

warm reception and good facilities
The entire journey was pleasant, and it seemed that they listened to our requests. The stuff demonstrated their professionalism. They should try to keep the standard when I book them next time!

Amazing
The tour itself was really amazing. I had problems with Piero with my bookings before hand though. Paid the deposit and he continuously failed to reply to my emails regarding securing the booking stating he never received the deposit. However after he rejected my calls he sent me somebody else's number who resolved the issue weeks later. The tour itself was amazing. Our whole group loved it. Shout out to Victor who is such a legend. Always happy and helpful. All the staff on safari were great. Bus drivers to kitchen staff.. everyone was amazing.

Great for the budget traveler, with customizable itins and wonderful people
We booked a customized itinerary based on the 7-day Gorillas and Savannah Safari. Richard Kisembo was a joy to deal with electronically in the months leading up to our trip, and he was equally enthusiastic when we finally met in person in Kampala. I was surprised to find out that Richard would not be joining us for our trip. Instead he introduced us to our guide Ahmed, who became our friend as much as our guide over the course of our trip.
I do think that our being young (both under 30) and adaptable budget travelers made this arrangement work out as well as it did. The trip was not luxurious, but it was perfect for us.

After two trips with Biwakwango, it's like travelling with a close friend
Our trip to Namibia (the second with Biwakwango, after South Africa) for a group of 8 was organised around our specific requirements and interests, and was meticulously planned for over a year. Thierry catered for a all our demands and offered excellent value for money. Highlights of the trip included seeing the Namib desert at dusk and dawn, approaching the Damaraland elephants during a day trek, the endless variety of wildlife in Etosha, and the river trips on the Kavango and Zambezi. We may well return again soon!

Very good safari
Safari in Masai Mara is once in a lifetime experience. It's amazing to be that close to nature and observe the greatness of the circle of life. Bushtroop offered us a great organization for the 3 days that we had there, a comfortable car and excellent accommodation as well. Our driver Joseph had spent more than 15 years in the Kenyan national parks and was really competent to answer all of our questions and give us more information about the animals. He was very kind and organized our time perfectly. Besides the animals, visiting a Masai village is a must-do.
Online communication with Jacqueline was very good, we made the payments over a secure website and overall we didn't have any problems.
The transfer from Niarobi to Masai Mara is a bit long- 7 hours so for more comfort you might consider flying
