The Safari of a Lifetime with Amazing Memories
Choosing a safari in Kenya is about much more than seeing wildlife. While the ultimate goal is to get close to nature and experience the incredible animals, how successful that experience is depends largely on the company you choose and, above all, on your guide. After spending 11 unforgettable days on safari with Amazing Memories, I can confidently say that we made the right choice. I would like to divide this review into three parts: the company, the guide, and the parks.
1. Choosing Amazing Memories
Our choice of Amazing Memories came after extensive research. We contacted four or five companies registered with KATO, carefully comparing itineraries, prices, and reviews. From our very first conversation, Nevill stood out for his professionalism, transparency, and willingness to tailor the trip to our wishes while staying within our budget.
He designed an excellent itinerary, and throughout the entire journey everything went exactly as planned. Every lodge we stayed at was excellent. We did not experience a single issue. Nevil also kept checking in with us during the trip to make sure everything was going well, which showed how much he genuinely cares about his guests.
2. Raphael – Our Guide, Driver, and Companion
Raphael was our guide, driver, and companion throughout the trip, and he was simply outstanding in all three roles.
His ability to find wildlife was remarkable. He always seemed to know where to be and when to be. Also, he had a lot of knowledge about wildlife and was very keen to share with us, which made each encounter more special. While we met other travelers who had quieter safari days, every one of our game drives was filled with memorable sightings and incredible experiences.
Driving in Kenya is a challenge itself. Many transfers from one park to another lasted more than seven hours on roads shared with trucks, potholes, cattle, baboons, and every imaginable obstacle. It requires complete concentration and exceptional driving skills. In that sense, Raphael was such a cautiously driver. But what impressed us even more was Raphael's dedication after each long day. While we were relaxing after seven-eight hours of driving on rough safari tracks, he was inspecting the vehicle, cleaning and preparing it for the following day. Along the way we passed groups stranded in remote areas waiting for mechanics, yet during our 3,000 km journey we never had a single mechanical issue. That was no coincidence—it was the result of Raphael's professionalism and care.
Beyond his skills, Raphael was a wonderful company. Spending 11 days together with me, my wife, and our two boys is probably not the easiest assignment, yet he made every day enjoyable with his kindness, good humour, patience, and positive attitude. By the end of the trip, he felt much more like a friend than just a guide.
3. The Parks
Our itinerary included Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo East National Park. Each park has its own unique character, landscapes, wildlife, vegetation, and local culture. Looking back, our only regret is that we did not have even more time to explore them.
The Maasai Mara amazed us with its abundance of big cats and enormous herds of wildlife. In Amboseli, we had the unforgettable feeling of standing in the middle of a herd of elephants as they slowly moved toward the swamps beneath the magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro.
Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha offered wonderful opportunities to get incredibly close to giraffes, rhinos, and spectacular birdlife. Finally, Tsavo East gave us a little bit of everything, but what captivated me most was its vastness and remoteness, making it feel truly wild and untouched.
After 11 incredible days, we are returning to Brazil with exactly what the company's name promises: Amazing Memories! We are taking home unforgettable wildlife encounters, thousands of photos, wonderful stories, and a deep appreciation for Kenya, its people, and its extraordinary natural beauty. We wholeheartedly recommend Amazing Memories to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and truly unforgettable safari experience.

Worth the money
We had an amazing experience with Amazing Memories, and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
A special thank you to Anastacia, who helped us plan our itinerary. She was incredibly responsive, always replied quickly to our questions, and gave us honest advice throughout the planning process. She made everything smooth and stress-free from the very beginning.
Our guide for the first part of the trip was Philip, and he was outstanding. He is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. Every day was thoughtfully planned, and he always made sure we got the most out of each game drive. He knows the roads exceptionally well, and you can tell he truly loves the animals. Philip will explain what you’re seeing, share facts about the animals, and make sure you don’t miss any details. His passion and expertise made our safari even more enjoyable.
For the second part of our trip, we had Francis as our guide, and he was fantastic. He has great connections with other guides, always seemed to know where the animals were, and navigated the parks with confidence and skill. Thanks to his experience and network, we had many incredible wildlife sightings.
Amazing Memories delivered a great safari experience, and we would not hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable safari in Kenya
Amazing like their name
Amazing experience from beginning to the end. The agent Morris and tour guide Joseph went above and beyond to make this 12 days of safari a memorable experience that will be unforgettable. The jeep was in good condition and Joseph is an incredible guide. He made sure that we saw every animal possible. Unfortunately we couldn't see the migration crossing. They were there and we waited for two hours but they didn't cross, luck plays a factor here. My 6 yo son had a great time as well as the adults. The hotels staff were very nice and accommodating. Lovely experience that will be remembered for ever. Thank you amazing memories Safaris.
An amazing Safari trip of a lifetime
Our safari trip with Amazing Memories was absolutely incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. We saw an amazing variety of wildlife and even the spectacular wildebeest river crossing. Every game drive was exciting, and the entire trip was truly unforgettable.
A huge thank you to our guide, Francis. He was knowledgeable, professional, and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. He always found the best viewing locations and got us amazing spot to watch animals and take pictures. We learned so much from him about the animals and their behaviors, and he was always friendly, patient, and communicative throughout the trip. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Also the arrangement through the whole safari process with Nevill was incredibly smooth. Nevill was responsive, helpful, and customized the itinerary based on what we wanted. We got to stay at the hotels We wanted, and enjoyed enough game drives in the national parks.
It was a unforgettable memories with my families and friends and we highly recommend Amazing Memories (especially Francis) if you are looking for an unforgettable safari trip in Kenya. We will definitely be back in different seasons and enjoy the safari again!
Unforgettable Family Safari Journey
I had a fascinating and unforgettable 8-day safari trip with my families and friends, together with our wonderful guide Francis from Amazing Memories. The entire trip was full of joy and excitement, and everything went so smooth with AM's arrangement. We were able to stay at our preferred hotels during the trip, getting picked up on time everyday, and even being able to store our luggages in AM's office free of charge. Our guide Francis is fabulous. Our safari trip couldn't be so fullfilled and satisfied without him. Francis is super friendly and knowledgeable about animals, drive (and race when spotting animals!) incredibly well, always being able to get us the best spot to see animals and giving us sufficient time to take photos and enjoy the beautiful view. Francis was also super organized, helping us arrange the luggages (there are 7 of us so there're a lot of suitcases and backpacks), cleaning the car everyday, ordering lunchboxes for us for full-day safari, and everything. We were very fortunate to have chosen Amazing Memories for our first safari journey in Kenya, and so lucky to have Francis be our guide. I would definitely come back again and I highly recommend AM to anyone who is looking forward to a once in a life time safari trip. 120 out 100!
