The best guide in Tanzania! A must visit
I can not speak highly enough of my experience exploring beautiful Southern Tanzania with Emmanuel Lema, one of the very greatest people you will ever meet. He is patient, kind, professional, hilarious, and goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a lovely stay. We were able to see incredible species of endemic birds and animals thanks to his wide berth of local knowledge. With all of the tour companies in Arusha, I understand it might be difficult to find a perfect guide, but you truly cannot get better than this company and this man. I will be recommending him to all of my friends and family and you need to join his tours as well. Asante Lema our lifelong friend.

Excellent Planning with Good Team
We set out on our safari in January before COVID hit and were extremely lucky to have gone with Instinct Safaris. We had a total of two weeks to see most of Uganda, especially the western half of the country. We started in Kampala and headed north west first to see Murchison Falls National Park - excellent wildlife and people. We then moved to Kibale and Queen Elizabeth National Park, before heading to the rain forest in Bwindi. We spent some 3 days there, tracking the gorillas twice. We then moved back to Kampala. This was a tailored safari. Lodging was great but some of the dinners did not live up to European standards - but thats ok! We were happy to try local dishes, which were a real revelation for us haha! Would come back and book with them again, in the future. When things are back to normal.

They are Very reliable and profesional.
Some of the other agency cancelled our trip in Uganda and we already had the flights booked and fully paid, as well as another trip in Tanzania. So, at final we contact to Ngoni Safaris Uganda by email and asked them for a trip in between the days we had to be in Uganda.
As a kind of them, they answered us very soon, and answered every question very smoothly and quickly. And at last we booked a 13 day tour with them. At the time of tour, giving to us a wonderful itinerary with wonderful lodges. If any query we had, they use to solved it quickly.
When we arrived to Uganda, our driver-guide Nelson was waiting for us, he was charming, skilled and very polite during the whole trip and everything was perfect, thanks to them we met the amazing tour in that country, Uganda.
I just want to say that, Ngoni Safaris had saved our pre-planned trip to Uganda, that others almost ruined.

Great Tour!
We travelled to Murchison Falls National Park and had a great time with them. Despite the challenges of organizing a tour in this post-lockdown Mega Wild gave us a wonderful treat.
Very competent and friendly people that treated us as loved guests!
They really know the park and helped us to spot all the animals in it and the best views!
Highly recommend!!

A solid safari experience with a personalized touch
I traveled to Kenya in June 2019 specifically to visit the Maasai Mara and after much research and outreach to 5 or 6 tour companies, I decided to put my trust and investment with Maurice at Africa Safari Classics. I made this decision based on the many positive reviews for Africa Safari Classics, as well as the personalized response and engagement I received from the company. I also found the price and value to be more competitive than another tour operator I was considering.
From the time of my outreach, Maurice was very attentive and we spoke over the phone via WhatsApp a few times and exchanged several messages leading up to my departure. What I really enjoyed about my booking experience was the ability to customize every detail of my trip - from the local sightseeing in Nairobi, to the types of camps I wished to stay in out in the Maasai Mara.
While I enjoyed visiting the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Center and Kazuri Beads (all great places to include in your Nairobi tour), of course the big highlight was my time out in the Mara. Maurice set me up with an operator called Basecamp Explorer and I opted to stay at two of their camps - (1) Basecamp Masai Mara (Fun Fact: Barack Obama and his family stayed here in 2006) and (2) Wilderness Camp. Both camps were incredible and the staff were very attentive, polite and welcoming. The Wilderness Camp was also more of a nostalgic tribute to the safaris of the early explorers as guests sleep in an individual and spacious tent on the plains of the Masai Mara. During the night, you can actually hear the hoofing of zebras, wildebeest and perhaps other animals passing by your tent. It was exhilarating and yet a bit scary, but the local Masai who run the camp are close by to step in if needed.
Wildlife Highlights: My best sightings included lions (including a majestic male lion with a large mane), elephants, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, zebras and of course the Great Migration itself.
I also recommend adding on a visit to the local Masai village. It's a fun 1-2 hours and the community comes together to welcome and celebrate your visit with dancing. TIP: Be prepared to purchase some souvenirs during your visit. I wish I knew this in advance. Since I was the only person from the Wilderness Camp to participate in the village tour, I felt even more obligated to buy something as I was the only person visiting the village that day. Luckily the souvenirs aren't super expensive. I bought a bracelet for $10 USD. The Basecamp Masai Mara also has a nice gift shop and I purchased an authentic Kenyan belt. It's absolutely beautiful and I was able to negotiate the price a bit.
Huge shout out to Maurice for all of his help! Not only did he personally meet me in Nairobi (and provided a complimentary gift I could use out on my safari), he also met up with me again once I got back from the Mara to gather my feedback on what went well and what could be improved.
I told Maurice my only regret was that I did not stay longer in Kenya to explore more of the parks and wildlife. I'd love to hire Africa Safari Classics again and hope I can return in the near future. Great job all around and definitely recommend to other travelers considering a visit to Kenya and the Masai Mara.
