amazing experience !
We had a 2 week safari through kenya , Tanzania and Zanzíbar with classic journeys and are very happy about it ! Communication was very easy while planning the trip and charles didn’t have a problem changing the schedule and accommodations a million times so it would look like exactly as we wanted.
Everything went as planned and promised .
Both our guides lived up to our expectations in terms of being knowledgeable and trying to meet all of our needs. They managed to find all the big five!
I would definitively recommend classic journeys !

Great experience with a great guide but too high expectations due to safari description
4 day safari Massai Mara & Lake Nakuru
Sekenani Camp
Flamingo Hill Camp
Safari Van
+ Amazing guide (Eustace) super friendly, super knowledgable, super driver, great personality
+ Everything went according to plan, very reliable
+ Great selection of lodges
+ Clean and tidy vehicle (especially in comparison to some others we saw)
- With the safari description guaranteeing the encounter with all of the big five, our expectations were extremely high and we did end up quite disappointed after not having seen all promised animals. We would recommend some changes to the safari description!

Amazing and wonderful experience, excellent service
We had a 6 day safari, and it was amazing!
Humprey handled the contact and the information before the safari, and he did an amazing job, fast reply’s, always in for suggestions and trying to adapt to our needs. He even picked us up from Moshi.
Benson was our driver and he was the best! Always happy, always managed to find the best spots and the most beautiful animals. We saw so many lions, elephants, cheetahs, a leopard in a tree, wildebeest migration and so much more. He really did an amazing job, and always doing an extra effort to make us happy, he even drove me to a bar nearby the campsite to get some beers;-)
Our cook, Richard, also did an amazing job. made the best food, made us look forward to every meal. He adapted to our needs when needed. The meals where varied and fruits where included.
The camping gear was in a good condition, and the car was comfortable, even with 6 people. There even was the possibility to charge devices in the car.
Humprey, Benson and Richard: Asante sana, It was an amazing experience!

It was an Amazing experience with Julius! He was able to show us all the Amazing places!
We’ve had an Amazing holiday with Julius as our touring guide. He showed us all the amazing spots in Tanzania and always made us feel very welcome. He is a very enthusiastic, happy and smart touring guide.
Poor communication
I was dealing with one lady by the name Faith Kaluai,first she sends me a quotation valid for a month,I was to get back to her on my travel dates then two days later she sends me a mail and tell me it was subject to availability and sends me another quotation..i call her wanting to make my bookings on the new quotations sent to me but she doesn't pick up my call..she later sends me a whatsapp message asking me what i have decided nearly a week after.surely bonfire how are you supposed to win people's trust if you can't handle your customers properly?

Safari tour in Kenya will be in our hearts forever
We did our seven days Safari tour with Axis company in August. The communication with tour agent Lennox was very fast. We had a little problem in Nairobi late in the evening and send an e-mail to him at midnight. We received his answer in 10 minutes! We want to give Lennox special thanks.
Our trip was well organized and planned. We think our driver John is the best one. He is very communicative and open-minded. John is a careful and skilfull driver. He is also a good guide. He could answer all our questions. He showed us a lot of animals. We could take beautifil pictures. There were 8 people in the car and the atmosphere was friendly. The accomodation was good, we also liked the local food. But we didn't like the camp in Amboseli, the houses were shabby, no furniture in the room except a bad bed. When we entered the room there was a lizard on the ceiling.
We want to give our best regards Axis tour company and wish them prosperity and all the best.

The game is on!
We used Redwood expeditions on our 2-day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro national parks. The customer service provided prior to the trip was excellent, answering all my questions on a timely manner and accommodating all my needs such as "we need a low cost safari but we don't want to sleep on a tent, we can't afford going an individual safari but we need to go on this specific dates, we definitively want to go to Tarangire, etc etc". They were able to provide us with exactly what we needed and the value for money was excellent. I'm sure they can make any kind of trip happen for you!
Once on "game mode", our driver/guide was cordial and pleasant to spend the days with. He will stop anytime we wanted to take a closer look at something or take more pictures, with over 20 years in the business, also incredibly agile in animal spotting: what will look to us as a black spot far away will be a rhino once you used the binoculars. Then he will do everything possible to get as close to the animals as he could.
The food and accommodation was ok; but keep in mind I did ask for low budget. I am sure the Redwood expedition crew is ready to make anything happen for you, from your backpacking-low budget experience to a 5* service at a luxury hotel with a huge fancy jeep just for yourself. Just ask ;)

Awsome and unforgettable experiences
Highly recommended!!!!
It was great getting engaged with tomadachi tours especially joseph.. we went to tarangire, ngorongoro and zanzibar.
We were 4 adults and one kid (3 years)
Experience was very good sfarting with safari, our guide was excellent and was very good in tracing animal in safari even at some place he took us off tge normal way to show some close view of elephants. It was really close. But our guide was also our driver and he was driving on highway also like safari speed. On highways even bikes were overtaking us. Not a issue since its with speed limit of 50 kmph.
Our hotel in arusha was not that great however since we werr the only one in entire hotel so we were given VIP treatment. My recommendation is to take hotel in arusha city center.
Or else of you want to do tarangire and ngorongoro then keep ur full stay at farm of dreams, this is an excellent hide out never experienced in my life.. farm of dreams is outstanding.
After safari , we went to zanzibaar. And come Yusuf who is partner of tomadach also. Overwhelmed with his hospitality.. he personally visited with us at all places. At one point we were stucked in some place and he immediately sent us the car to rescue us.
Joseph and yusuf are the best combination for your tanzanian adventures.

Fantastic
Everything was wonderful in Rhino Camp, we saw big five and every animal we looked for. The weather was nice and fresh, the trip could not be any better
