Amazing
Had one of the best guides Amazing Safari has Joseph.
He tried to accommodate all our needs to the best of his ability.
Always best to split up your safari in 2 morning and evening.
The Ark hotel was not the best small rooms.
Best if you do the hotel Aberdare Country Club which is next to it.
Large independent lodges with a peaceful environment.
The van was ok for 2 persons max 4 persons.
Great wheather in June.
If you can take a small plane on the long trips which take 7hrs or more it is worth it. Since the roads are very bumpy. They call it the african massage.
The whole experience was fantastic and our tour company was superb.
Highly recommend them.

Amazing 17 day journey through Kenya’s mayor parks
We have been to Kenya many times and love the beautiful scenery and especially the amazing wildlife.
Our tour operator Anna from “Amazing Memories Safaris” was fantastic during the preparation phase and worked with us to plan and adjust the Safari exactly to our wishes. She also provided us with an amazing guide and driver, Daniel, who has in depth knowledge of all the animals we saw, about Kenya in general, and who was a really great guy to “be stuck with” for 17 days. Daniel went absolutely above and beyond to make this the best possible Safari for us and to accommodate every request we had. When we had a medical issue, Daniel made sure to get us to a very good hospital, stayed with us the entire time to guide us through the process and also called ahead to the next lodge to set up a follow up doctor’s appointment there.
He also is a great photographer and made sure to put us in excellent spots to take great pictures. In addition, and extremely important for a Safari, he was great in spotting animals.
The car was in good shape and the lodges beautiful. Everything was handled very professionally.
We hope we will be able to go back to Kenya in 2 or 3 years, at which time we will use the same operator and definitely go with Daniel as guide.

Wildlife at your fingertips
The weather was poor due to climate change - the short dry season was supposed to be starting, but there were heavy rains and floods. Because of that there were less animals in Masai Mara than usually, but still there where plenty - I saw lions, leopards, cheetah, elephants, giraffes, hippos, gazelles, antelopes, monkeys, crocodiles, lizards and many species of birds. On the plus side - no mosquitoes and dramatic skies over the savannah. It was definitely worth to go.

We could see so many wildlife in one area ! Each time we sight an animal, it is doing something different...hunting, eating or just lazing around...this includes the bird life as well. The sunrise and sunset mood are just simply beautiful!

Amazing perfect trip!
Guide was Soloman and he was amazing! Went above and beyond to find the animals. Lovely man who I would happily go on any trip with. Saw every animal possible at Masai Mara, except the rhino... but on our journey back to Nairobi Soloman spotted one in the city national park. This made our holiday!!
Transport was great. Accommodation was nice, pre erected tent but actual beds. Wish the trip was longer

The place is very cool
The beauty between the animals inside the cage and the free ones are way different. You will feel them alive and happy. It was very beautiful place to be!
However, there are part of the tour that we didnt do and did not advise us earlier why we are not doing it so. And im talking about the spring or thermal bath. We could have spend more time cycling than bringing us back to Nairobi, there are still plenty of time.

Awesome
The trip was awesome. It's a long bumpy journey that is broken with a view if the rift valley then lunch. There is no rush. The accomodation is basic. Comfortable and clean. Take a torch. Food is Kenyan buffet traditional food and lots of it. You are there for the animals and experience which was fantastic. We had a lot of rain the first day but still went out and saw a lion. The full say we saw everything. Our guide James was fantastic and took us everywhere and we saw cheetahs lots of lions elephants lupi giraffes everything it was amazing... I went to the local masai camp and would recommend doing so. It's an eye opener. We then went to Lake Navaisha on the way back which again was great. It takes a long time travelling back to Nairobi. Be prepared the roads are great. We had 5 if us in the van which meant we had space. I would highly recommend it.

Great experience
We did Lake Naivasha and Masaai Mara with Eliud in 4 days. Lake Naivasha was really nice with great accommodation at Sopa Lodge. The hippos came at night near our house, the food was great. The weather was ok.
In Mara the accommodation would be good as well (Sarova Mara Game Camp), but it was raining some of the time, interrupted one of the game drives and was cold in the tent. Mara is too crowded, even in the shoulder season, you feel like in a big zoo rather than in the wild. We have a comparison as we traveled alone after the organized safari to Tsavo, which is peaceful but has far less animals to spot.
Eliud was a great companion to talk to and spend time with, professional and helpful. Would recommend his service to anybody as well as Amazing Memories Safaris as the organizers.
