Amazing Memories was true to their name!
Brian at amazing memories was excellent at arranging both an 8-day Safari in Kenya as well as a guided tour of Nairobi. He created a bespoke itinerary for a private safari for my wife and I. He was also very responsive & professional when I requested alterations to the schedule on multiple occasions.
Our Safari guide Joseph was very experienced, and made sure that we saw the best & most exciting sights during our Safaris and took extra care to pack a table and chairs for a picnic lunch, which no other guides did. He is also a fantastic photographer!
While in Nairobi, Steve took us to some places that we hadn’t seen on travel websites and made sure we had an excellent time. While showing us around Nairobi, it was like talking to an old friend even though we had just met that morning.
Amazing Memories did a great job helping us with our trip!

You can't go wrong with Amazing Memories
What can we say. Thanks to Amazing Memories we had the best travel of our lives! Complete flexibility to adjust itinerary, high professionalism and very heartwarming people. We literally saw all possible animals!!
Special thanks to Nevill for the great communication, response time and patience to attend our needs.
And huge thanks to David, the best guide possible. He truly allowed us to see many animals and was always very humble, friendly and adaptable, giving everything he had so we could enjoy our Safari. We will always remember the adventures we've had with you.
If you are looking to plan a Safari trip, Amazing Memories is a no-brainer

very professional guide and excellent driver
Choosing John is really a jackpot. In Kenya, the driver is so important. When we were looking for animals along the way, other cars followed us. He has a strong ability to predict, a gentle personality, and can speak multiple languages. I asked him a lot of questions and he answered them patiently. He knows everything about plants and animals.

very professional and kind, very knowledgeable
John is a very nice person. He must have been in the industry for many years. He was very calm in dealing with various emergencies. His eyesight was very good and he could quickly spot various animals. We saw the Big Five and various animals in Masai Mara on the first day. In Amboseli, we even saw the most famous Craig as soon as we entered the gate. He also patiently answered all the questions we asked along the way. We learned a lot about Swahili and wildlife~

Kenya Safari Tour
We contacted Nevill before the trip. He was a very nice guy. He answered all our questions. Sometimes WeChat replies were slow, but we just needed to ask a few more times. He would help us confirm whether the hotel was available without paying a deposit. After confirmation, we paid the deposit. The balance was paid in person after landing. It was kato certified so it was more reliable. Our guide was James. He drove very steadily, paid special attention to avoiding potholes, had a good eye for finding animals, and actively helped us communicate with other local guides we met on the road to exchange information and find animals. However, we needed to take the initiative to ask and communicate about animals or routes. It was not suitable for single friends. Double friends or as long as there were double people in a team, we could go for it. He was very reliable.

Unforgettable experience
Everything was really well organised and fitting completely our needs from start to finish. Anne has been always available and willing to help us and checking on us from time to time.
We had a 5 days safari followed by 5 days in Diani Beach. The safari has been amazing, our guide Joseph was experienced and motivated to bring us out, in the Masai Mara and lake Nakuru parks to see as many animals as possible. Thanks to him we had the chance to see all the big 5 multiple times and we really enjoyed his company and explanations during the game drives. The tented camps that we were at were above our expectations. For staying close to the Masai Mara we could definitively recommend to stay at the Enkorok camp, we will miss the family atmosphere and the delicious food . The resort at Diani was perfect to relax before coming back to our routine.
Overall, we loved that we could decide to have the travel customised for us (with the precious help of Anne and Joseph) and we feel like it was worth what we payed for and we would start it over again.

Great memorable holidays with Amazing memories safari at Kenya
Amazing memories safari planned a great holiday for our family. We loved every bit of our stay at Kenya with them and it was truly a mesmerizing experience with animals in the wild. Night safari is something that one should not miss. Nevill is the one who was patient with us for all our bookings. Philip, the driver cum guide, was a great person and extremely flexible with our kids schedule. The stays were also amazing.

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.

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)
