Excellent guide
I was traveling with a friend and her two daughters. Faustin was a patient, knowledgeable guide and we very much enjoyed our tour of the island, including a spice farm and the Jozani Forest. It was my first time to Zanzibar and I would hire him again and recommend him to others.

An amazing experience viewing the wild animals in the beautiful Maasai Mara.
The Maasai Mara is a 6 hour drive from Nairobi and half of this is on rough or non existent road but well worth the journey. It was supposed to be the rainy season but we saw little rain which is not good for the animals or crops. Our guide John was fantastic, he ensured that we saw as much of the wildlife as we could possibly see, unfortunately we missed out on the rhino of the big 5. We visited the Maasai Warrior village where we were made very welcome and we were able to view the traditional way of life and meet the villagers. We stayed at Sopa Lodge where accommodation and food were excellent. The scenery was breath taking, so beautiful, it was a fantastic trip.

Amazing experience!
I with my family ( six people all together) have travelled with Wild Wind Safaris two times, both visits lasted two weeks. First time it was in 2010 and the second in the 2013, the first trip was to Namibia and Zambia and the second to Namibia and Botswana. I can say that my whole family was extremely satisfied with the quality of services provided by this small and thus extraordinary firm. Our guide, Filip, is not only an extremely experienced guide, but also a fascinating person, with whom we had plenty of discussions about all kind of topics. The trip consists of experiences of many kinds: the contact with the magnificent african wild nature, the trip to native african tribes but also extreme sports like riding the quads in the desert or parachute jumping. The biggest advantage of this company is that it has an individual approach towards its clients and it is capable of providing anything you want to do in Africa. The experience and knowledge of our guide gave us also a sense of safety, because he knew how to handle local autorities and crazy african administration but also he helped us with our encounters with black mambas, elephants and all the other wild animals that you will meet there. Generally speaking, I truly recommend this touristic company, especially if you want to see something more than what is offered in the most popular touristic paths!!!

Amazing place
Tanzania is amazing. We went to Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Mayara on May, 2019. These places are so beautiful, the landscape and the animals that we saw were incredible. We saw 4 of the big 5, unfortunately the leopard is very difficult to see. The roads outside the parks are very good and the hotels are also very comfortable and clean. May is rainy season so the parks weren't crowded of tourists.
The only thing that wasn't that great was the fog on the crater rim because of the rainy season. Also, the roads on the crater rim were moody so it was a difficult ride to our hotel in the rim.

Review about Ruaha National Park by Marion
Plenty of animals, lovely birds, beautiful scenery. The rainy season brings out wonderful flora and more birdlife. Exciting to see a different Africa!

Exceptional Adventure
Namibia is a friendly and beautiful country, and I enjoyed all aspects of my two week adventure there. My only caution is that it is an adventure. This is a desert country and much of the time you are truly remote.

Fantastic Safari experience
Our safari was an incredible experience. I think we were very fortunate with the weather, as we traveled during the rainy season. We did not experience any issue with rain, in fact only had one shower of about 20 minutes during any of our game drives. Roads were a bit muddy, but really not bad.
We had the amazing opportunity to see all of the Big 5 - and many more! Our driver was amazing. He managed to get us the best views of the best animals! We got to see a mama cheetah and her cubs - 2 different sets of them in 2 different parks.
The accommodations were top notch! The beds at each location were great! More than I can say for many places I have stayed. Every thing was clean and the staff were most helpful and hospitable. .
Tanzania is a beautiful country.

Most amazing experience of my life!!
My mom and I took a trip to Kenya in March and I do not have enough words to explain how amazing it was! We flew into Nairobi and then Classic Journeys picked us up for our safari right at our hotel. The entire experience was top notch, from our wonderful and informative guide Charles to our stay at Loyk Mara Camp to the delicious food and of course, seeing so many animals in their natural habitat.
Our accommodations were pristine and the staff was so friendly and helpful. It was definitely like "glamping," but I will never forget falling asleep to all the sounds of the Masai Mara (mostly hippos calling out in the night).
I am not kidding when I say I have thought about this trip every single day since we have been back, longing to hop on a plane and go back and take all of my family and friends with me. If you are thinking about going to Kenya and booking with Classic Journeys, DO IT!! You will not regret it one bit.

Wonderfull
We booked our safari with Beacon Safari’s. The trip was awesome!! Our guide Ken took us on a 5 day inc Masai Mara, Amboseli and Naivasha. I really think he gave us the extra bit too make our safari perfect. Personally i would advice too dpend most of the time in Mara. The landscape there is magnificent and the wildlife abundant and diverse. Amboseli is good for spotting large group of elephants and in Naivasha you can walk between some animals.
Thanks again Ken!!

Safari package
That was the best package ever offered by Vacay Holiday deals. I was quite happy with the email responses. Can't wait for my next safari
