Knowledgeable,Cooperative,Toogood
We had a very good Safari with Amazing Memories Safaris. The cottages/ Tents were too good. The food was excellent. Our tour Guide (James) was very Cooperative and Humble & had a good net work, thus we could see a lot of animals and birds. Thanks to Amazing Memories Safaris & Anne for arranging such a nice tour.

An Amazing Safari with Amazing Memories
My husband and I decided to have a private Safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and because of the reviews, we decided to request a quote from Amazing Memories. Our initial discussion was with Anne, as we finalised the itinerary, and after booking, we were in contact with Brian as he helped us through visa applications and date changes.
Basically, if you are going on Safari to East Africa, don't hesitate to contact Amazing Memories.
From the beginning, the responses were swift. They provided us with options, changed plans as we thought fit, helped us when we needed additional information for the Tanzanian visa and even changed the dates of the safari when we needed it.
All the accommodation options that were provided were great. We went with the Serena hotel chain and do not regret it. I urge you to do your own research regarding accommodation as sometimes, the rating won't quite match the standard (which is understandable, as they are all lodges in the middle of National Parks).
Our driver in Kenya was Joseph, and our driver in Tanzania was Mike. We enjoyed traveling with both of them. They were friendly professionals who knew much about the landscape and animals. They made it their mission to get us the Big 5, which we did, and they made sure to put our comfort first.
The itinerary they provided was well thought of, and the logistics were well planned. Our check in and check out processes were quick. We decided to drive through the Isebania border which is an 8 hour drive, and Joseph and Mike really did the heavy lifting and got us safely from one country to another.
The best aspect of Amazing Memories was the unlimited amount of water bottles they provided us throughout this journey. All the safari lodges provided only two bottles of water per day, so we were never without clean, filtered water.
I will continue to recommend Amazing Memories Safaris as they made the entire experience seamless. They handled everything. All we had to do was land and let them take over. We switched off our brains and enjoyed the experience of a wonderful safari.

6 days safari tour with Amazing Memories
We spent 6 days on safari with Amazing Memories. The communication was great from the beginning and they even booked train tickets for us as we continued to Mombasa after the safari tour.
Our driver John was awesome! He was really kind, funny and explained us a lot about animals as well as life in Kenia. He always tried to accommodate our needs and wishes.
We really enjoyed the time on safari as well the time with John and it was an unforgettable trip (so far our best vacation :)).
We definitely recommend Amazing Memories to everyone thinking about go on a safari!

From Day of Arrival to the Day of Departure, they were always there..

Patient and knowledgeable
The guide Lawrence and counselor Nevill are patient and knowledgeable. The six- day trip is excellent and we have seen many animals. The accommodation and food both are high quality. I am sure that I will recommend this agency to my friends.

Trustworthy and tailored safari experience
I can’t sing enough praise for this company and our guide Peter. What a special experience we had in the Masai Mara. I was nervous about booking online so I spent a lot of time researching different tour companies until I felt confident I could trust them. When we arrived in Nairobi, we went to visit Brian and Michael at their office and finalized our reservation. The whole trip, from transport to accommodation, was exactly as I had expected, or way better.
Peter, our guide, was calm which is just the energy you want on safari. His landcruiser was great quality and very comfortable for the trip. The roads are very bumpy so this made a big difference. Peter knew how to communicate with other guides in the park so we could experience some truly special moments with cheetahs, elephants and lions. In only one day we saw 3 of the big 5 and much much more.
We stayed at Keekorok Lodge inside the park gates which was excellent, and the hippo pool was a big bonus.
We chose a private tour and it was totally worth the extra costs to have more freedom to do what we wanted and more space in the vehicle. Some group vans we passed looked very crowded.
Amazing memories is a great name for this company who created a very special, tailored, experience for us. Happy to book with them again.
Thank you Peter, Brian and Michael.

Professional, on-time, prioritizes getting the best photos and best views of animals
Peter was an incredible host. In a 4 day safari we saw all of the top animals. Peter consistently counseled us to be patient and he was right. We saw a cheetah mother and cubs, a hyena eating a carcass, a leopard going up and down a tree and more. The tour group was professional, on-time and easy to work with. I'd highly recommend amazing memories!!!
Transparent and genuine
I would highly recommend this company especially Nevill. He was extremely patient and kind towards our changing itinerary and did not hesitate to go out of his way to accommodate us. Their reviews on safari.com are 5 star and more than 180 reviews and I can see why. They are very transparent with their pricing and want to give you the best tour.
100% recommend

Dream safari
Amazing Memories Safaris prepared a fantastic dream safari for us. This was my 3rd trip to Kenya and by far the best. Brain and Anne were very helpful and informative from the time of the booking on. We were met at the hotel, we were given a very cool Landcruiser to accompany us throughout the trip. Our guide, our hero Maurice was amazing. He knew where to find each animal we wanted to see, we were always first there, saw the animals so close we could touch them. He took care of everything for us and was with us in every step of the journey. We stayed in luxurious beyond words camp The Cliff at Lake Nakuru, and the fantastic camp of great experiences Entim in Masai Mara. Both camps were very comfortable (more presidential suite than tent) had out of this world good food and we were pampered and spoiled in both camps. The staff were very friendly, they went out of their ways to make this experience an unforgettable one for us. (One example is, in both camps the staff prepared a happy birthday dance for me as a surprise) In short, it was a fantastic experience, we were always very safe, had tons of fun adventures, memories we loved every minute of our trip.

Amazing! Would definitely recommend
Amazing Memories definitely lives up to its name! I travelled with my friend to Kenya and we used Amazing Memories Safari for our safari tour. We found the company great to work with when booking and arranging the trip, and they accommodated our preferences when putting together the itinerary and pricing, helping us to plan the best order in which to visit our chosen locations, and accommodation that suited our requirements.
Our driver Steve was amazing and made the trip a truly great experience. He was really friendly and always on time, making the trip feel really organised and smooth. He pointed out interesting things as we drove from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru and from Lake Nakuru to Masai Mara, and he had a great network of other drivers who would contact him whenever big cats were spotted.
We managed to see all of the Big Five across Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara thanks to Steve. We even saw two Cheetahs who walked ahead of our truck for a while, and a Leopard hiding in a tree! I couldn’t believe how close we were able to get to the elephants, the lions and the giraffes. I was particularly keen to see some elephants up close and Steve made a special effort to ensure I got to do that, which I really appreciated!
We stayed at Sarova Lion Hill in Lake Nakuru and Mara Serena in Masai Mara on the recommendation of Amazing Memories and we had a great time at both places. The views at Mara Serena were completely out of this world and I am so glad that we stayed there.
I had the trip of the lifetime thanks to Amazing Memories and would definitely recommend the company to anyone planning a safari trip in Kenya!
