The most amazing experience of our lives! I cannot recommend Amazing Memories enough!
Honestly an amazing experience. Everyone at Amazing Memories was extremely helpful and professional. They helped us navigate flight cancellations and changes to our schedule and could not have made the experience any better.
Of course we could not leave a review without giving special shouts to our amazing guide Steve and Anne who helped make adjustments in real-time to our trip.
100% recommend for anyone considering a safari, we felt in very safe hands. Aware there are so many choices for operators but honestly I’d recommend choosing Amazing Memories, you won’t regret it.
And of course seeing the big 5 and so much more made it all the more special

Excellent tour operator that created a great itinerary and accommodated all our requests
After doing research on several companies, we chose to book a 10 day safari with Amazing Memories Safaris at the end of 2023. I ultimately chose them because they were accommodating to all of my requests and responded quickly to my many questions (thank you Anne, Brian, and Nevill). Our itinerary and accommodations included:
1. Lake Nakuru - Sarova Lion Hill Lodge
2. Maasai Mara - Soroi Luxury Migration Camp
3. Serengeti - Four Seasons
4. Ngorongoro - Serena
Our guide for the Kenya leg was Joseph and he helped us spot the big 4 (Rhino, lions, buffalo, and elephants). He was informative and entertaining through the many long and bumpy rides throughout Kenya. We were able to spot many action scenes including lion vs hyena showdowns and cheetahs carrying around a kill. After, we flew to Serengeti Tanzania, which included a layover with transport to a border crossing. We were picked up in the Serengeti by Santos who was our guide throughout Tanzania. He was also excellent and fulfilled our request to spot a leopard to complete the big 5!
This was a trip of a lifetime and our guides and accommodations were all excellent. I would highly recommend using Amazing Memories Safaris to book your safari.

Pleasant and knowledgeable.
I recently had the privilege of experiencing a private safari with Amazing Memories Safaris, and I can genuinely say they live up to their name! My journey began after thorough research, where I found glowing reviews from a woman who had an incredible experience with this company. Her excitement and positive energy convinced me to trust Amazing Memories Safaris, and I’m so glad I did.
From the start, the communication with Dorcas was exceptional. She was patient, responsive, and answered every single question I had, making the entire planning process seamless. Dorcas guided me through designing a customized safari that was not only affordable but also tailored to my specific desires. I felt comfortable and reassured by her professionalism and her genuine care throughout the process.
When we arrived, we were assigned Patrick as our safari guide, and he was nothing short of amazing. Patrick was personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. He took the time to ensure we had the best experience possible, allowing us to go at our own pace and making us feel completely at ease. His knowledge of the animals and the landscape was outstanding, and he made sure we didn’t just 'see' the wildlife, but truly experienced the magic of the safari. From learning about the behaviors of the Big Five to understanding the delicate balance of the ecosystem, Patrick enriched our experience with insights we’ll never forget.
Patrick also guided us safely and attentively throughout the safari, ensuring we had the most memorable moments while feeling secure and cared for. His ability to make us feel comfortable, safe, and engaged transformed our trip into something far beyond what we could have imagined.
Amazing Memories Safaris delivered on every promise and more. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly personalized, professional, and unforgettable safari experience. Special thanks to Dorcas for her exceptional guidance, and to Patrick for being such an incredible guide. This trip was everything we had hoped for and more!

A fantastic, well organised tour with great accommodation and food with informative guides!
This tour was great value for money with easy communication regarding organisation, amazing accomodation organised for us with a wonderful variety of food on offer and very informative, fun guides who showed us some amazing animals in both Kenya and Tanzania. This was my second trip with them and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!

One day city tour
We overall like it. Morning after meet with Titus with his brife, and give us hats as gift, we meet Steve, the driver. Steve rearranged the visit time according to traffic, which worked well. He prepared bottled water and showed us the city alone the road which is interesting. We have visited all the sites we planned.
We are happy with your arrangements and service.
Thank you very much!

Fantastic Safari with Amazing Memories!
My two teenage sons (ages 15 and 13) and I went on a private 7 night safari with Amazing Memories (3 nights Masai Mara, 3 nights Serengeti, and 1 night Ngorongoro Crater). Everything about the experience was fantastic!
The email communication with Anne and Brian during the planning stages was prompt, thorough, and professional. They were very accommodating and flexible with our itinerary. I had been in contact with a few different safari operators and Amazing Memories' top notch communication, along with their competitive pricing, is what ultimately led me to book with them.
The game drives in all three parks were absolutely amazing! We saw the Big Five, but the best part of the safaris was just observing these amazing animals "going about their day" in their natural habitats, seemingly unfazed by their audience. We did a mix of all-day game drives with a picnic lunch, and also morning/afternoon drives, with a relaxing lunch/swim at the lodge. Bottled water was plentiful at all times.
Our guides in both Kenya (Joseph) and Tanzania (Mike) were top notch! They were both full of knowledge about the animals and land, and also extremely kind, caring people. And the safari vehicles (Land Cruisers) were in great condition with no mechanical issues/breakdowns (which we observed with other safari vehicles while out on game drives). My sons and I felt very comfortable and safe at all times.
Amazing Memories lived up to its name and truly left us with amazing memories that will last a lifetime. I spent a LOT of time comparing/researching all the different safari tour options beforehand...let me save you the time of repeating that overwhelming process by recommending you book with Amazing Memories. They are an extremely well-run company, taking great pride in the safari experiences that they provide, and you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend without any hesitation!

Bad car and non-professional drivers
Bad cars, bad car driver.!!The car and driver used in Kenya are worse, the driver not professional and always keep using his phone even when he is driving. The car used in Kenya is worse, compared with Tanzania, the car seats are bad, very dusty inside and no cleaning. Also, the arrangements of the transfer between Kenya and Tanzania is horrible. The drivers always late, if you told us to wake up early and leave at 5:45am, we won’t suppose for an hour waiting of the another driver . During the whole trip, only one driver in Tanzania is good, helpful and diligent.

Authentic safari experience with amazing guides and great accommodations.
From the very beginning of our honeymoon planning right through to the trip, everyone at Amazing Memories was attentive and far exceeded our expectations. Anne and Dorcas always responded quickly during the planning process and answered all of our questions quickly. They tailored our trip to suit our needs and found us some wonderful accommodations. They were also very helpful with navigating visas, vaccinations, etc.
Our first guide, Titus (or Tito!) did everything in his power to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime. His unique personality, humor, 26+ years of experience, and passion helped to create an unforgettable Masai Mara experience. Tito made sure to find us the best lunch spots on safari, and always brought the entertainment! He brought us to see a huge family of elephants and this was one of the highlights of our trip!
Charles, our guide for the Tanzania-leg of our trip, was very knowledgeable and ready to share facts about the different animals we encountered. He was constantly on the lookout for sightings and was quick to move our vehicle to get the best angles. On our last day Charles committed to finding us a black rhino so we could accomplish the big 5 and he succeeded!!
We can’t say enough good things about Amazing Memories and the guides they connect you with for safari. We are so happy with our choice to book with them and highly recommend them to anyone wanting to create amazing memories and have the experience of a lifetime!
An Unforgettable Safari Trip
We had a wonderful Eastern Africa safari trip with “Amazing Memories Safari” in the last 2 weeks of August 2024. Communication via WhatsApp with Owner Ms Anne was swift and clear during pre-trip (visa requirements,rooms/diets accommodation). She had often checked with our traveling group leader for a few minor changes during Kenya/Tanzania Safari tour. Special shoutout to guide/driver Mr. Eliud on Kenya side tour. while gaming drive,he was telling history/culture/land marks of local areas along the way. His knowledge of Safari wildlife and ability of spotting an animal afar is incredible! He understands guests’ hunger for capturing a good picture, and was able to manage our needs/expeditions
and Safari driving restrictions. he is an excellent guide. I would recommend “Amazing Memories Safari” with 100% confidence, and Eliud would be mine No. 1 choice of guide!

Best Safari Travel Company
Thank you to Amazing Memories Safari. This trip took a year of careful preparation, during which Anne's team provided us with timely and effective support. They assisted us with important travel information, visa procedures, and the collection of necessary documents, always responding quickly and offering valuable insights.
The entire thirteen-day journey was perfectly organized, and all thirty members of our group were extremely satisfied. We traveled in five vehicles, and each driver had an impressive knowledge of the national parks and wildlife. In particular, the drivers of my vehicle—James, Charles, and Pater—had an exceptional understanding of the animals' habits and extensive knowledge of the national parks. Overall, we are very grateful to Anne's team and Amazing Memories Safari for giving us such an unforgettable travel experience.
