  Thanks to Classic Journeys, we have the best memories. The trip lasted 10 days, including a day trip to Nairobi and 9 days at safari. We were very satisfied with our journey. We saw many beautiful animals and cherished animals, stayed in comfortable hotels and learned a lot about animals. Thanks to Classic Journeys and Africa, we had such a special experience.Show more

  Classic Journeys was absolutely fantastic! Our experience to the Safari couldn’t have been better as they are just so professional and the services we received were way beyond our expectations. They made the whole trip so easy and worry-free for us. I’ll start with the communications with Classic Journeys. The sales director, Elvis, was extremely responsive and accommodating on our requests and frequent change of travel dates. We booked the tour 2 weeks prior to our departure date and yet, he managed to get us a very good package with amazing “camps” and “lodges”. The communication on both email and WhatsApp were very easy and quick. Our expectations were properly managed and directions were clearly given (including what to expect when in Kenya, shots to take and etc). Properly packed with the instructions (we packed a lot of items we didn’t end up using, because Kenya’s infrastructure and etc were way better than we expected), we were ready to go. Upon landing in Kenya, we were picked up by the customer representative, Chris, and also our tour guide, Sammy. Shortly after, we were on our way to our first camp on the 4x4 pop up van (quick note, van works ok on paved, concrete roads, but the SUV does make a difference on game drives). Sammy was extremely knowledgeable about not only the animals themselves, but also about anything related to Kenyan economy, education, politics and etc. He had answers to all of our questions. After around 4 hours of car ride, we were at the Sweetwater Serena Camp. Oh boy, we were completely blown off with how beautiful this camp was, and the room (tent) was tastefully decorated. Everything you would normally need is there, except hair dryer (since most camps use power generator, they typically aren’t able to support high power consumption electronics). After a nice lunch, we were set off to go for a game drive at 4 pm. On the very first day, we were so lucky as we already saw 4 of the big 5s (elephants, rhino, buffalo and leopards). Sammy kept communicating with his peers and making sure that we get to see the animals we wanted to. Sammy explained thoroughly about the animal’s behaviors, habitat, and local weather etc. After 2 hours of game drive, we went back to the camp feeling extremely satisfied with the animals we saw. A word about Kenya weather in mid August, it was around 80 degrees and sunny during the day, but temperature drops to mid 50s in the evening. It was perfect for sleeping and chilling by the camp fire. The next 8 days in Kenya was more of the same, but we were so amazed with how scenic Kenya actually is, and all the animals we saw and learned. We saw most animals that we wanted to see (Big 5, giraffes, etc), and also part of the wildebeest/zebra migration. In addition to that, we were extremely impressed with how simple, honest, friendly and pure the Kenyan and Masai people are. For this reason alone, Kenya is worth a revisit in the future again. All in all, our experience in the Kenya safari couldn’t have been better, and we attributed all that positive experience to ClassicJourneys and its well-trained staff. Thank you, ClassicJourneys.Show more

  Overall, the entire tour was well planned for and all the accommodation were better than we had expected. Especially Mara Ngenche campsite and The Cliff Lake Nakuru. We would consider Classic Journeys Africa again, if there is another opportunity to go back to Africa. We had Dickson as our guide and would like to personally thank him for his good service. He is flexible and is thoughtful towards his guests, he gave us thorough explanations and great insights to not just the safari and the animals, but also to the local culture and practices. He kept the car clean and make an effort to make the ride as comfortable as possible for us.Show more

  Perfect last minute honeymoon. The communication with Elvis was perfect and effective, including several changes on the planning to adjust to the parks we wanted to visit. Nice combination of safari in the Land Cruiser, night game drives, boat safari, biking in Hell's Gate and even a early morning walking safari! Our guide, Felix, was just amazing. He could speak French and English fluently and his ability to spot animals was incredible, same for explaining us any single detail of the wlidlife or Kenyan culture. We cannot be happier of our choice!Show more
