Truly Amazing Memories!
We would absolutely recommend Amazing Memories to anyone going on a safari. There are a number of companies to choose from, and we had done a lot of research, and I’m so grateful we went with this company! From the beginning of our contact with Amazing Memories all through our actual safari, we had such a great experience! Communication was excellent, Anne in particular in the office was so helpful in answering questions and creating the personalized itinerary for our 2 week private safari to Kenya and Tanzania. Any issues with the booking were promptly handled, and we felt really well cared for - they went over and above and we didn’t have to worry about anything once we got there.
We also can’t recommend our driver in Kenya enough. Francis was the utmost professional: he is a safe driver, respectful and knowledgeable of the animals, and took such great care of all of our needs. It was a true joy being with him for 8 days, and we were sad to say goodbye.
All of the lodging options were also incredible. It was great to have options to choose from in advance, and we absolutely loved the quality and service of the camps and lodges that were suggested. The lodging really added to our experience, and we would highly recommend most of the places we stayed. We particularly recommend:
Kibo Safari Camp in Amboseli
Flamingo Hill Tent Camp in Lake Nakuru
Sarova Mara Game Camp in Maasai Mara
Serengeti Serena Lodge
Tarangire Simba Tented Lodge
And most importantly, our safari experience was absolutely magical! This company’s name is spot on creating amazing memories. Every single day there was something very special that we saw and experienced. The extra add ons with the hippo boat ride, nature walk, hot anir balloon ride, and bush flight to save time were all perfect suggestions. We are both so grateful for this trip and will never forget all that we experienced. Thank you Amazing Memories!

They are very professional and provided excellent service. Their pricing was also reasonable.
We filtered some companies on SafariBookings that were close to our needs. After further communication about the itinerary, we comprehensively evaluated them based on response speed, understanding of needs, and pricing. In the end, we chose Amazing Memories. Their staff member, Dorcas, was able to accurately understand our needs and also provided us with many good suggestions. She was very patient in answering all the questions we raised. The entire itinerary arrangement and accommodation she provided were very satisfactory to us. At the same time, during the trip, she also helped us solve some unexpected problems in a timely manner.
Since our trip covered Kenya and Tanzania, we were accompanied by two guides throughout the journey (James in Kenya and Richard, whom we all called Ray, in Tanzania) for the safari. They were particularly experienced in finding animals. We gathered the African BIG 5 and also saw many other animals and their different forms. Especially Ray, one day we saw a leopard, after watching for a while, we were about to leave, but Ray reminded us to stay a little longer. Unexpectedly, a leopard cub appeared later. If it weren’t for Ray’s reminder, we would have missed the leopard cub. On the last day, when we were watching the wildebeest crossing the river, Ray also chose a good position, allowing us to see the magnificent scene of the wildebeest crossing the river very well.
Overall, the itinerary arrangement, accommodation, meals, transportation, and safari of this trip were very satisfactory to us. It was a very memorable journey.

We highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris to anyone looking for a truly special adventure!

WOW! just WOW!
Bucket list item that really lived up to all our hopes. Travelled for my husband's special birthday and it was so memorable. Amazing Memories Safaris were attentive and professional from our initial booking through to our departure home. Brian answered all my queries very quickly and the whole itinerary happened without any hitches. James, our safari guide is a lovely man, professional, efficient and so knowledgeable about Kenya, the particular areas we visited and all the animals and birds we saw, and we were so lucky to see everything we could have hoped to see. He was also respectful of the parks and wildlife and didn't drive aggressively as some operators appeared to do, he seemed to use his intuition and knowledge of the animals to get us into the perfect position to photograph at every point. Each camp we stayed in was different from the last but we loved them all and it would be difficult to pick a favourite. Thank you Amazing Memories for a wonderful experience xx

Amazing honeymoon in the Maasai Mara
My wife and I spent an amazing 5 days on safari in Kenya. Everything was on our bespoke trip was organised seamlessly, from our hotel pick, accommodation, travel and activities.
Our guide Joseph was great throughout. There wasn’t a single question he didn’t know the answer to and he made sure we got to see everything we came to see including some amazingly closeup views of Lions, elephants and cheetahs. He always made sure we were satisfied with our drives and made sure we were comfortable.
The accommodation and food was great, particularly in the Neptune Camp which really felt as close to a 5 star hotel as you can get with amazing service.
We could not find anything other tour operators that had the same value for money. Others were either budget group trips or extortionate luxury trips. This was perfect, providing a bespoke private safari at a very reasonable price.

Smooth and memorable experience!
Everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Our guide and driver, James, was absolutely amazing—a true gentleman, kind, and attentive. He shared extensive knowledge about wildlife, the animals, and even the local culture during our road trips, ensuring we had a memorable experience.
The pick-ups and drop-offs were seamless, and the operators checked in with us throughout the trip and at the end to ensure everything was going smoothly. We were fortunate to see every animal on our list (which, we were told, doesn’t always happen—so we felt very lucky). While luck played a part, we believe James’ local expertise contributed significantly to our success, making the experience even more special.
Sarova Mara Hotel was an excellent choice. The hospitality was outstanding—I've never encountered such genuinely kind staff in any other hotel. The rooms were comfortable, and the overall experience offered great value for money. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour guides, just like the name of the company
From day 1, being picked up at the airport to the very last day of being dropped off, everything was very carefully taken care of. AMS took care of every little details.
We were amazed by everything we saw. Everyday had its own highlights. We got to see all of the "Big 5". So many photos and memories. The staff at every places we stayed were so friendly and helpful. The accommodations were great. The food had a few challenges as we could not eat raw food, but there were always enough choices to pick from, and lots of bottled water in the jeep.
We started in Kenya, crossed into Tanzania, and finished it off in Zanzibar for some well deserved rest.
Highly highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris!!!
5 stars in my books.
Asante Sana. ( Thank you very much)

Amazing Memories Adventure
Our safari experience with Amazing Memories was nothing short of breathtaking. This tour company collaborated with us to craft a journey that exceeded every expectation and left us with memories we will cherish forever. We explored some of Kenya's most renowned wildlife reserves—Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and even enjoyed glimpses of Mount Kilimanjaro. The adventure was filled with encounters with Africa's iconic wildlife, made even more special by the exceptional service and deep local expertise provided by Amazing Memories.
From the start, the team at Amazing Memories was warm, welcoming, and impressively organized. Our guide, Joseph, was both a skilled navigator and a naturalist, offering insightful commentary on animal behavior. His passion for wildlife and extensive knowledge enhanced the trip. Every part of our itinerary flowed smoothly, with accommodations and travel logistics all seamlessly managed by Amazing Memories. This allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the wildlife experience.
The wildlife sightings were astonishing. In Masai Mara, we witnessed the magnificent Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and black rhinos. But the surprises kept coming. We spotted a cheetah with five adorable cubs, an awe-inspiring and rare sight. Seeing such a young family thrive in their natural habitat underscored the beauty and fragility of these ecosystems. We also encountered lions lounging in the savannah, majestic herds of elephants roaming gracefully, and even baby rhinos, a testament to the diversity of the region’s wildlife.
The wetlands of Amboseli, with its sprawling vistas and unique birdlife, including flocks of vibrant flamingos. The herds of wildebeests, elephants, and zebra migrating each day was a unique experience. The weather cooperated - the sun rise with elephants crossing the plains with Kilimanjaro in the distance is a memory etched in our minds forever.
What sets Amazing Memories apart was their courtesy, organization, and knowledge of the country. Beyond just a safari, we felt connected to the land, its wildlife, and the people. Every aspect of our trip was thoughtfully curated, from luxurious yet eco-conscious accommodations that fit within our budget – great value for the cost. For anyone dreaming of an African safari, Amazing Memories Safari is the way to go. Our safari was indeed filled with amazing memories—memories that will stay with us forever.
