Great operator, fantastic guide and amazing memories
Mara Tirangle Safaris staff where most helpful, both planning the trip and during the trip when some of the group members had flight problems, and did not arrive as planned. Mara Triangles Safari had no problem to organize an new pickup at airport at a later time.
David, our driver and guide, was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge about animals and where to find them. We had good talks all the way, and we learned a lot about the life in Kenya and the parks we visited.
We experienced all the Big 5, and a lot of other different animals. It was just amazing, and we had an amazing time.

Professional, well-run operation, attentive to all details and wonderful host.
I've been to Kenya 4 times now and Classic Journeys Africa was by far the most well-run operation in every aspect. Their personal interaction with clients and great care to make our safari affordable, exciting, safe and comfortable was a rarity to find in the touism industry. What a pleasue to deal with them. Will go back on one of their safari trips next summer for absolutely sure.

Real True Professionals
My experience with the company was unbelievable.
I took the 4-day Mid-Range Safari Tour (Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro National Parks).
Hilary and Ally (The managers) went out of their way to ensure that my Safari tour would be as enjoyable as it could be. They took care of everything from top to bottom.
Our Tour Guide and driver "J.T" was amazing. Not only that he was very knowledgeable, but he was also extremely funny.

A fantastic safari, a fantastic experience
The safari was fantastic in terms of the variety of habitat and the range of animals seem and we had a great time as a family.
What made it though was our driver and guide, Josen, and our chef, Ben who were both outstanding.
Josen, was engaging and informative and enabled plenty of time for photographs. He was always friendly, polite and relaxed.
He was also a brilliant spotter seeing animals which we would never have seen otherwise; notably a cheetah and their cubs, a lioness hunting and a a lioness with her cubs (amongst many others). He engaged both our teenagers really well.
Ben provided cooked meals throughout of a restaurant quality which was outstanding in a camping kitchen and catered well for two vegetarians. He was always happy and polite. The variety was great with no repetition of dishes, good portions and something for everyone.
The parks included Tangarire, Lake Manyare, Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater; all fantastic in different ways. We were lucky enough to see pretty much everything you could hope to see in terms of animals and habitat.
On a more practical level. The vehicle was in good shape. Simple things like drinks and regular toilet breaks were always thought of. The tents were always swiftly put up. The campsites were what you would expect for camping (in particularly spectacular locations at times).
The company offered transfer from the Mount Kilimanjaro airport to a modest but perfectly reasonable and secure hotel iand then after the safari back to the hotel with an inclusive transfer to Arusha airport.
A couple of side trips were appreciated as we had the luxury of a bit of time over 7 days. This included a cultural tour of a village which was engaging and did not patranise the local people; including local agriculture, a traditional drinking place and a an art cooperative - there were chances to buy good quality goods but no pressure to.
Separately visiting the Olduvai was interesting and humbling in terms of learning about our human origins.
A deposit in advance was expected which was a bit daunting based mainly on trip advisor and safari.com but in retrospect we have no regrets.
I very rarely get excited to this degree about experiences but this was experience we will really remember and treasure.
If you want a brilliant safari
- I would choose this one

Fantastic Safari Experience
Went on a private safari with guide James for 3 days. Superb experience! James is very friendly and also very experienced. As he speaks totally fluent German we had great conversations and I learned a lot from him about Tanzanian wildlife.
We went to Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Park, while we stayed at night at Maramboi Lodge. Everything was perfectly organized by Enchanting Tanzania Safaris and adjusted to my needs. We saw lots of African animals and I will never forget this fantastic experience!
Can highly recommend Enchanting for your Safari trips in Northern Tanzania.

Awesome experience
After talking to several agencies and guides planning our trip we found Safari Africa United, and our souls connected. They were able to understand the type of trip we wanted and put together a spectacular route with spectacular accommodations at a very good price. We traveled with children and they connected with Cornelius from minute one, who taught them the culture, songs and all the curiosities of the animal world. He was attentive that we did not miss anything, he advised us of the best schedules always fleeing from the marabunda of cars so that we could see everything in exclusivity.
Both Monica and Cornelius sent us all the information and were attentive that we did not miss any detail before traveling.
I recommend it without hesitation, personalized trip with much affection and far from unnecessary commissions charged by other agencies. Thank you Cornelius for so many teachings and for showing us a piece of your land.
