- Classic Luxury Masai Mara Migration with Mara Engai
Classic Journeys Africa has planned a perfect trip for us. Charles was extremely helpful and patient at the planning stage. Our guide and driver, ***Dicks***on, arrived on time, was extremely knowledgeable, spotted all the animals from miles away and did whatever he could to make our trip as wonderful as possible (that includes spotting The Big 5 and having a picnic in the savanna)! We stayed 1 night at Nakuru at Sara Lion Hill - nice lodge with a pool. And 2 nights at Loyk Mara Camp at Masai Mara - great place to stay!!!
