Trustworthy and well planned.
We were picked up at the airport by a representative from the company before transferred to our guide.
The drive to Masai Mara took approx. 6 hours. We had a flat tire, and with a short game drive we didn't reach the camp before after 7,5 hours.
This drive could have been skipped as we had already traveled for 20+ hours.
It was dark when we reached the camp so we didn't see much. Received a welcome drink and escorted to our tent for some freshing up before dinner.
All the food was fantastic and the service was second to none. We felt very welcome and taken care of.
Our guide picked us up at 8 am, way later than the other guests, but seeing it was our honeymoon we didn't want to rush.
We saw A LOT of animals! Our guide obviously knew where to drive. It was really impressive to see how they remembered all the roads crossing each other. We had a whole car for our selves, which was great. Except for one time where we forgot the clock and lost track of the direction in the dark, this trip was everything we had imagined and more! The transfer back to Nairobi was well organized and everything went smoothly.
We would recommend using Classic Journeys when booking a safari in Africa.

An amazing safari to Kenya and Tanzania to remember.
Classic Journeys Africa provided us excellent service. Everything was arranged for us from the beginning to the end without any worries. We had the best driver/guides (Geoffrey in Kenya and Camelus/Water in Tanzania) you could ask for. They were always considerate of us especially travelling with two seniors. Their driving skills and knowledge were excellent too. They always tried their best to give us the best advantage for viewing and photos during the safaris. Their vehicles were always spotless. We absolutely loved this trip and it definitely met our expectations and more. Classic Journeys did a wonderful job In making our trip so memorable.

Great safari - excellent service
We had a 6 day tour with Classic Journeys in June 2016. We visited Naivasha and Masai Mara. Classic Journeys were great in organizing the trip, our expectations were met 100%, everything worked fine, time schedule was kept without delays and we didn't have any problems. We had a Toyota 4WD Minivan. It didn't look very impressive, and was quite old, but it was very effective and reliable, and tuned out to be a very good car for us. Our guide at the safari, Geoffrey, was a fantastic guide! We couldn't have got any better. He is knowledgeable, skilled and trustworthy. His English is excellent, and he is very service minded. He is also a very nice and kind person that is easy to get along with. In Nairobi Mathew was our guide, the same things can be said about him. He is a great manager, organizer and guide. Hotels/places on safari: Sopa Lodge in Naivasha was good. Great location, nice huts, good food and service. Base camp in Talek was excellent. Very nice tents, very good location and very good food and service. The best place we stayed during our whole stay in Kenya. We also saw lots of game there. Wilderness camp in Naboisho was also excellent when it comes to tents, location and food, but we were a bit disappointed about our guide there. We had a local guide, not from Classic Journeys. We didn't see as much game there as we had expected, and felt that our guide didn't work as hard as Geoffrey to make the most out of our stay. Still good though.
In Nairobi we stayed at The Nairobi Safari Club Hotel. It was also good, comfortable with great service and excellent breakfast. Traffic in Nairobi was much worse than we had expected, and obviously limits the possibilities. Fortunately we had a good guide (Mathew) who handled this very well. You should not try to do sightseeing in Nairobi on your own.
Classical Journeys in general: Very well organized and trustworthy. I will highly recommend them to others!

A Wholly Professional Service from Start to End
Everything from the initial email contact to dropping us back to the airport after our safari was dealt with in a 100% professional and friendly manner. They helped at every stage to ensure we had the very best safari experience from greeting us at the airport, booking us in at all the camps and lodges, to the excellent driver guide for whom nothing was too much bother!
This was our fourth safari with Classic Journeys Africa and it is impossible to recommend them too highly for their fast and efficient service at all times, and I can’t wait for our next safari!

Amazing!!!
The trip was amazing! Our group was led by Ted Schiffman (a professional photographer from Vermont) who has been on some 48 plus safaris. He keeps us informed from the very beginning of signing up. Both him and his wife were on the safari. Having been on so many safaris he was very familiar with all the staff in all the locations. We stayed in hotels for the whole trip with three meals a day. The accommodations were very clean. The meals were buffet with plenty of variation so that made it nice. We were met at the airport by Ted and the drivers for the first two safari locations. The drivers were well trained and had to spend 2 years in training. Every safari location was unique and had plenty of wild animals.
It was a trip of a Life Time. I highly recommend you go in a safari offered by Classic Journets in English.

Ted did a Fabulous job
The overall tour exceeded our expectations. We had a fabulous time, the lodgings were great, the food was great, our travel companions were warm and wonderful. If I had to point to a negative, it would be the flights there and back. They were smooth and uneventful, but long. KenyaAirways did a fine job, provided lots of entertainment choices, and served 3 meals and beverages. Good flight experiences, just long.
