Absolutely Brilliant!
Thanks to Benson Safaris we had the most amazing and memorable Tanzanian experience. We chose to book with Benson because they are a locally owned and operated company, and from the booking process to the airport transfers, to our week spent with our exceptional guide, Kessy, they do a superb job. Our accommodations were first class, our favourite being Kubu Kubu in the Serengeti, and the meals were excellent, exceeding our expectations.
We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Kessy is experienced and very knowledgeable and always gave us all the time we wanted when there was something to see. He's a fun guy to spend a week with.
All the wildlife we saw was truly amazing, and the amount of wildlife staggering. What a privilege to see The Big Five, and spot a cheetah in the tall grass on the plains of the Serengeti. Also totally incredible and fascinating was witnessing the wildebeest migration. We also never imagined how impressive and beautiful the birds would be, and the landscape is unforgettable.
After four days of touring the National Parks, Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, we took the less travelled route and headed north to Lake Natron where we hiked the active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai with our Maasai guide. An absolutely memorable experience, but so steep, it took a lot longer to descend than it did to hike up!

Classic Journeys Africa made this trip of a lifetime even more enjoyable than expected.
From our first contact with Classic Journeys Africa, we received quality service. They were responsive to all of our questions, even after our tour was over. They suggested the right tour for our desires and budget. We feel we received very good value for our money. The guides were great and went out of their way for us. The accommodations were wonderful and the lodges and camps provided great service and good food. Of course, the animals we saw were amazing. We will never forget this wonderful experience. I highly recommend Classic Journeys Africa.

Fell in love with South Africa! The people, the food, the weather, the wildlife ! Can’t wait to go back ! We had the best honeymoon ever ! Even though it’s far to get there ( we live in Canada) it was worth it and we have no regrets !

Dream come true!
We would happily recommend indigo safaris to organise your holiday found through Safari Bookings. We had a few ideas on what we would like to do, the accommodation type and travelling we were happy with, but were struggling to put it all together. Ines responded quickly to our request, and sent us ideas on how to collate our trip to Namibia, Victoria falls and Botswanna. We exchanged a few e mails, and, everything fell into place very easily. Payment was simple through a gb account.
Our trip to Namibia turned out to be be far better than we imagined. Everything went smoothly apart from an onward delayed flight with Namibian Airways. Our guide Rudy was a star throughout our tour of Namibia. He had a passion for his country and its peoples and wild life which he shared with us throughout our trip. We always felt safe in his care, and he went out of his way to help us enjoy our first visit to Africa. His knowledge of his country was extensive and we were sad to see our trip come to an end. Rudy kept our mini bus clean and we always had plenty of water on board. He drove safely, even when the days were long and the drive was hard. We had plenty of room in the bus as we chose to have a small group, so we shared with three other people. Expect very bumpy roads and long days, with early starts but it was worth every bump to experience such diversity. The landscape is stunning and so diverse.
Th accommodation was spot on. We decided we didn't want to use tented accommodation, and so the lodges we stayed in were very clean and comfortable. The food was delicious with lots of choice at the evening buffet. It was good to try Springbok, Kudu, Oryx, Impala and Zebra! Most of which were very tasty. Breakfast was also plentiful, with fresh cooked eggs etc if you wanted it.
We were so lucky to come across the Desert adapted elephant on our trip, and to see lions, zebra, impala, springbox, rhino, giraffe and water buffalo. Couldn't ask for anything more!
Thank you Ines, from Indigo Safaris who organised our extended trip to include Victoria Falls and Botswana. ITs been an amazing Trip. Your help and guidance made it happen?

Once in a lifetime experience without any worries
Darren and his team were fantastic to work with. From the first email exchange where we described what we were looking for through the final day on the ground, working with Compass Odyssey made the whole experience exceptional. Darren's pre-trip communication is fantastic - he responded to all of our inquiries within 2-3 days (usually faster) and was very thorough and knowledgeable. His on the ground team knew the areas we were visiting, had great recommendations and were able to add both commentary and color to the various locations we visited. They made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing - we just relaxed and enjoyed our holiday. We would (and already have!) highly recommend working with Darren for any Southern African adventure.

Amazing safari experience with amazing service
We had a truly amazing safari with Tammy tours.
I was worried at first about planning our safari from home but everything was so easy with Tunu. She was always in contact with us before we left and while we were in Kenya, she's such a lovely lady. She really reassured us and answered every question I had. Tunu even helped my boyfriend with planning our engagement while on safari, which was an amazing suprise!
The safari was amazing, we saw the most amazing places and animals with Alpha. We did a 4 day safari, which I really recommend to have enough time to really experience everything and see a lot. The lodges we booked were really comfortable and good. The salt lick game lodge is a definate must, this lodge is amazing!
Kenya is a truly magical place!
Thank you again Tunu & Alpha!

The best time in Tanzania, I highly recommend it!!!
We chose Safari: 4-Day Tarangire -Serengeti -Ngorongoro Big Five Safari in configuration for 4 people.
The office was found by two additional people. The atmosphere with the Mosses guide and chef Erick the best! The cook cooked the most delicious dishes we ate in Tanzania. We saw a big five (but a rhino was very far away) and all other animals. Mosses told us a lot about animals and Tanzania. We spent the night at the campsites, we are very happy and recommend it with all my heart!
