Hi Africa Safari Classics,

Thank you very much to your team at Africa Safari Classics for meticulously planning and executing our recent trip to Kenya. Your keen attention to every detail made our "Golden Jubilee" wedding anniversary very delightful and will have everlasting memories in us. We had read a lot about Kenya and searched on the web for the right company before eventually deciding on your company. All our questions and concerns were responded to promptly and correctly. In my opinion, the knowledge of the local logistics which you guys posses is very important in planning for a trip. The places you recommended were unique. We desired to visit quiet places, less touristic and yet offering great safari opportunities.

Meru National Park - many streams of water, all kinds of birds and plenty of wildlife.
Photography was excellent and night game drive was awesome.

Lewa Conservancy was our next destination. Very well managed conservancy with big numbers of wildlife. We saw game wardens keenly looking after the rhinos as if the rhinos were their own "babies". Each game drive was different. Our driver guide having done many drives in the area knew what was to be found where. I think it's a good idea to use driver guides based in the lodge for local game drives. In the morning we went looking for the rhinos, mid morning we did elephants and cats in the afternoon.

Maasai Mara - never disappointing and was the highlight of the trip. Thousands of plains game, many birds of prey and the visit to Mara River for the crossings was amazing. We just sat and watched thousands of gnus coming from Serengeti. These creatures are unbelievable. The accommodations in the entire trip were very comfortable and nice and very delicious food was served. We added many kilos during the trip.

To conclude, this safari was a gift to us by our children. It was an eye opener in many ways. Once again thank you for a job well done.

Africa Classics Team,

We got back home last Wednesday and now settling back to our normal chores after what we can describe confidently as a "holiday of a lifetime".
We cannot thank you enough for putting too much thought and energy in the overall planning and executing of our itinerary. Got just what we wanted.
You were very patient with our different requirements and accommodated all our expectations. My husband had travelled to Africa before so he knew what was on our "wish list". Your knowledge of various categories of accommodations and places of interest was of great benefit to us. So the week spent in Africa is something were going to treasure for a long time. Our son will be getting married next year and wants to bring his wife to Africa. We have already recommended your services to him. Thanks so much, everything worked up to our expectations and your company stands highly recommended to future travellers to Africa.

We had such nice experience because your company's excellent operation. Prompt, very professional and attention to every detail.
Have already recommended your company to my work colleagues and they will be getting in touch soon for safaris.

Dear Adrian,

Thanks for getting in touch. Sad we didn't get a chance to meet again on our day of departure from Tanzania as we were informed that you had travelled to Zanzibar on a product trip. But just dropping few words to thank you for taking very good care of us during our recent trip to Tanzania. Our driver guide Moses was kind enough to share all the information about his beautiful country of Tanzania. We learnt a lot every where we visited. He was patient with our millions of questions and made every genuine effort to answer all our questions. He's excellent guide, a very good ambassador for his country and wish him well in his career. The game drives were great. Millions of mammals in the Serengeti plains. We were spoilt and felt very privileged to see these wonders of mother nature. We had our own vehicle for the safari so this made it very easy for us to visit the places we wanted and were able to plan every day.
We also visited a local traditional village and gave some gifts to the children. They sang for us and my friend Virginia was in tears of joy.
Thank you once gain for the making all these arrangements possible for us. We hope to return one day and possibly bring few friends along.
Cheers

Hi Adrian,

Sorry for taking sometime before responding to your email requesting our feedback and comments. On returning back, we had to move to a new house and this took quite sometime. Our honeymoon safari was the best experience ever. The "Lifetime Honeymoon Experience" was perhaps the best beginning of our married life. We could not believe it when you met us at the airport with beautiful of flowers for my wife and for taking time to share dinner with us at Carnivore Restaurant on our first day. Every where we went, we were received like a "visiting royalty". Our safari driver had some drinks for us in the vehicle all the time. In the evening, we were offered a bush dinner and there was always a bottle of wine in our room. Mombasa was excellent for the beach extension.
Hot weather, white sand beach and best accommodation. The camps were nice and luxurious. Everywhere we visited, they were expecting us and knew we were on honeymoon and did few extra things for us. We hope to bring our children one day and will always travel with your company.

Hi Jambo,

We booked the "family safari" upon recommendation from our friends here in Hong Kong. Thank you for your effort that made us very delighted with our very first safari in Africa. There was always something new and exciting everyday for us and the children as well. New things each day. The safari was neither too short or too long. Just ideal and what we wanted. Internal flights worked like clock work and farewell dinner at Carnivore Restaurant was superb. We hope to return again to Africa one day in the future and visit Tanzania to see the Ngorongoro Crater. I feel that we were really well looked after and felt very safe in your excellent vehicles. Pls feel free to contact us on your next visit to Hong Kong. We will be happy to show you around and highly recommend your company.

Hi Adrian,

Just received your email requesting for my personal observations and feedback for the recent safari with your company. I joined this safari as part of the International Study Program organized by our local university who are members of the program. It was my first trip to Africa and I must say that the trip was "flawless" and went beyond our expectations. My general opinion is that your company and staff are very professional. Always on time, smiling and willing to help. Thank God I took some notes during the entire trip which will really help in my final report. But I must say I gained a lot of knowledge from your driver guides. They explained all the details and were very patient. I will be returning to African for yet another great trip sometimes in future and will contact you to arrange my travels. I learnt that most of your staff are trained at Kenya Utalii College - the best university for tourism in Africa.
It's no surprise that your organization is really classic in every sense.

You requested for our feedback regarding our trip to Zambia with your company.

Zambia was different in many ways. We naturally like different places offering different experiences. We had been to Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa before but never to Zambia. Just heard about it. My wife was very eager to do lots of walking safaris. I can tell everyone for sure, Zambia is the place for walking safaris. They are so well planned and organized and the guides both excellent and experienced. A visit to Zambia must include South Luangwa National Park - which is the base for walking safaris. We also visited Victoria Falls the largest waterfall in the world and Lower Zambezi too. The only slight problem we encountered was availability of "Kwacha" the local currency in Zambia. You don't get a lot of it in the camps. Dollars are OK and accepted but the local currency works very well too for tips, small bills like beer and shopping.

Thank you so much Adrian for putting together such a great trip for us. We will be back one day and will come along with many friends who cannot believe our stories.
