The Great Migration is a year-round movement of more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles across the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem in search of fresh grazing and water. Expect dramatic river crossings, the miracle of calving season, electrifying predator action, endless herds and some of the most cinematic landscapes on Earth.

Safari, tribes and coffee
We did a seven day safari, including visites to the tribes, national parks and coffee farm. Ombeni was the best guide we could have wished for. He was always caring and arranging any modifications in the planning to suit our wishes. He was always smiling, showing his passion for his work and for nature. We saw every animal possible and was impressive how he knew all the roads and shared his knowledge with us. Joshua was an attentive and supportive guide, translating at all times and ready to teach us about the Tanzanian culture and answering all our questions. The best part was getting to have dinner at one of the local restaurants and visiting a coffee farm, sharing their culture, way of living and food. Feeling always welcome.

Unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania
This has been an amazing experience, truly unforgettable and very special. We have been able to see all the possible animals, more than we ever thought of, thanks to the expertise and great game-driving abilities of our guide Ombeni. We were very lucky to have him, as well as Joshua, who came with us and explained every detail of the surrounding wildlife and local culture in Spanish. Outstanding agency and guides with great attention to details. We definitely recommend it and would travel back with them again! Asante sana 🧡

Équipe hors norme et expérience inoubliable sur le Kilimanjaro
J’ai réalisé l’ascension du Kilimanjaro par la voie Machame avec ma copine. Ça a été une expérience incroyable. L’équipe est extrêmement professionnelle, gentille et toujours à l’écoute. Leur expertise est un vrai atout : ils savent parfaitement conseiller la meilleure voie à choisir selon le niveau de chacun. Grâce à leurs recommandations, nous avons choisi un itinéraire parfaitement adapté à ce que nous voulions un vrai challenge sportif (voie Machame en 6 jour). Les guides sont attentifs, bienveillants et très flexibles. Ils ont largement contribué à la réussite de l’ascension et c’était vraiment super de marcher tout les jours avec eux! . Un grand merci à Léonard pour son accueil, son professionnalisme et son engagement tout au long de l’aventure. Je recommande cette Tanzania Classic Tours sans hésitation à toute personne souhaitant gravir le Kilimanjaro dans les meilleures conditions et avec une vrai équipe d’expert!

Une aventure inoubliable !
Un immense merci à Tanzania Classic Tours pour l’organisation exceptionnelle de notre ascension du Kilimandjaro, et surtout pour l’énergie incroyable de toute l’équipe ! Nous avons réalisé la voie Machame en 6 jours, et nous recommandons sans la moindre hésitation de choisir Tanzania Classic Tours. Leonard et chaque membre de l’équipe ont été d’un soutien remarquable tout au long du parcours. Ils ont été constamment bienveillants, encourageants et attentifs. Ce sont de véritables professionnels et experts de la montagne. De plus, l’équipement de camping mis à notre disposition était très confortable (sacs de couchage, matelas, table, chaises, etc.), ce qui nous a permis de bien récupérer entre chaque étape. Nous avions également un excellent cuisinier qui nous a régalés avec des repas délicieux, même en haute altitude ! Tout était parfaitement organisé pour que nous puissions vivre cette aventure dans les meilleures conditions possibles. Chacun, à sa manière, a contribué à rendre notre ascension jusqu’au sommet de l’Uhuru Peak absolument inoubliable. Je repars avec la tête remplie de souvenirs extraordinaires, de fierté et de gratitude. Encore merci à toute l’équipe de Tanzania Classic Tours pour cette expérience unique. Asante sana !

An unforgettable adventure with Tanzania Classic Tours!
A huge thank you to Léo and the entire team for making this trip truly exceptional. Climbing Kilimanjaro and reaching the summit wouldn’t have been possible without their support and dedication. The team went above and beyond to make the trek smooth and comfortable, always attentive to every detail. The homemade meals were delicious and gave us the strength and motivation we needed after each challenging day. Their positive energy and constant encouragement kept us going all the way to the top. After the climb, we continued our journey with an incredible safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide’s deep knowledge of wildlife and ability to spot animals, even when hidden, made the experience even more special. We also loved learning about the local culture and stories along the way. This entire adventure was perfectly organized and full of unforgettable moments!

Amazing Experience !
What an amazing experience ! It was my very first time in Tanzania and Leo and his team couldn't have done better to make this trip memorable. We were 5 friends climbing the Kilimanjaro for 6 days, followed by a Safari in Terengire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Both the climb and the safari were really well organized. Regarding the hike, you have a debrief before the start day, and every day after to inform you well about how to equup yourself, what to expect, how long is the hike, etc. Along the route you always have the support of the entire team both physically and mentally. The cook made also an amazing job and suprised us with meals I could never have made myself in these conditions in the mountains. Regarding the safari, we have seen so many animals, I didn't expect that we would see that many. Finally, every single one of them, no matter if it is a porter, a guide, the waiter or the cook, makes sure that you have a great experience. They pay a lot of attention to the details so don't hesitate to communicate with them regarding anything you need. They are all very kind and welcoming people. PS: it is an agency that is owned an managed my locals, who have been themselves porter and guide before creating their business. Therefore rest assured regarding how they treat theire employees, there are no abuse on this side!

Safary in Tanzania - great team
The trip was an amazing experience! We were in a safary in Tanzania. The team was excellent—very professional and made the whole journey so much more enjoyable and high-quality. Everyone was friendly, pleasant, and, most importantly, attentive to our needs. We were traveling with children, so it was necessary to adjust the schedule, and the team did so with great flexibility and understanding. I would especially like to highlight our guide, Bricky, who has incredible knowledge of all the best areas. His passion for creating a meaningful experience was truly inspiring, and he was determined to make sure we saw all the animals and special places along the way.
