    The tour was fantastic. We see a LOT of animals, truck was always clean and now let’s talk about the most important person in our trip. The guide ! DAVID was more than a guide. He was our historian, our mechanic, our helper, our protector and he was the reason why we will give a note of 11/10 to classic journeys. All Buisness have truck and go in the same parc or reserve but you cannot choose your guide at the first time. Please ask to have David if you travel with classic journeys you’ll not be disappointed. Thanks again David and see you in January

    We did a private one-week safaritour with personal driver/guide. We started in Arusha and visited Tengeru cultural program. Afterwards we headed for Serengeti national park, Ngorongoro national park and Tarangire national park. Before we left Arusha we had a meeting with Rose from Classic Journeys who had put together our trip. Everything was organised perfectly. Drinks for the whole week were available in a cooling box in the jeep. In the national parks we stayed in different lodges which all were excellent. The staff was always very friendly, the lodges and rooms were beautiful and very luxure, we had full meal and for daytime we got lunch boxes. Our personal driver/guide was very friendly, he had a lot of knowledge and experience with this tour and we had a lot of fun, too :) We made loads of beautiful memories. We are very happy with all of the organisation and thankful to all the people who made this happen. Totally recommend!
