A trip of our life time
What a fantastic 2 weeks trip we had. Right from the first inquiry till the last day of us leaving Nairobi, we had a great trip and they were always in touch with us making sure we were enjoying our trip. Anne was handling our requests throughout the planning process and was very helpful in altering the itinerary as per our need. She was very helpful in sharing all the details needed to make our trip more pleasant beginning with the visa process,Vaccination requirements and other pertinent information about the trips to Kenya and Tanzania. They were even able to get a refund from one of our hotel's reservations after arriving at Nairobi due to our change of plan at the last minute.
On the first day of our tour, we were greeted by Bryan and our Kenya driver John. Bryan gave us the briefing before we were on our merry way with John. We visited Amboseli Park first and John knew his places and also was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and their territory and showed us all the animals we could possibly see there. Our stay at Kibo Lodge was great with excellent services and food. Then we went to Lake Naivasha and did a boat ride and also walked along with Zebra,wild beast and giraffes. We saw a couple of Hippo families and also an eagle catching a fish from the lake. Once again, Our stay at Lake Naivasha country club was great. Then we headed to Masai Mara where we saw a lot of zebras, giraffes,wild beasts and lions. We were extremely lucky to be at the right place at the right time to witness a cheetah hunting gazelle live. We also saw a black rhino, hyena, leopard and a male lion eating zebra. With that our trip to Kenya was over and headed to Tanzania via the Isibinia border and John was kind enough to take our souvenirs back with him to collect them later once we got back to Nairobi at the end of the trip.
We were then in the safe hands of our Tanzania driver Mr Moses who is equally knowledgeable and kept us engaged the whole trip. After the immigration formalities, we started driving to Serengeti National park where we saw a lot more lions than we could ask. We saw many prides but the highlight was to see a pride with a lot of cubs and also a male lion in the tree top keeping his eyes on the sneaky hyena. We had a very pleasant stay at Tanzania bush camp where we heard the hyenas laugh and a male lion roar in the middle of the night. After a fantastic game drive, we went to the Ngorongoro crater and were astonished to see a wild variety of eco systems within the crater itself. After an excellent tour in the crater we stayed at the Kudu Lodge where again the services,room and food were fantastic. We were then dropped off at Arusha airport for our trip to Zanzibar.
Once in Zanzibar we were in safe hands of Victor and our driver Yosuf. They both were making sure that our stay in Zanzibar was top notch. They were able to arrange a spice tour and prison island with lunch. We enjoyed both especially feeding the turtles in Prison Island .
Our stay at Sea Clif resort is phenomenal, we enjoyed our walk along the ocean and also the view of beautiful sunsets. After spending two relaxing days in Zanzibar we flew back to Nairobi and again were greeted by one of their guides. Anne called us again and made sure everything was good and met our expectations.
All in all, we had a trip of our lifetime and would like to thank everyone who made that possible.

Amazing trip of a lifetime!
Amazing Memories Safari‘s is the best tour operator you will find. The company was very friendly, easy to correspond with and accommodating with the best and most knowledgeable tour guides. We were a family of 11 including having a 3 year old, a 10 year and two 73 year olds. We booked for a 8 day and 9 night safari. Anne, our booking agent and trip planner, was amazing answering all my questions (which was a lot of questions before and after we booked) even if it was past her working hours. She always was so friendly and helpful. She changed and added things to our itinerary to make sure we were 100 percent satisfied. She truly developed my families dream vacation. She was such a pleasure to work with. As well, our tour guides, James and Eliud executed the best experience in Kenya you could imagine. (We needed 2 ranger rovers and 2 guides because there were so many of us). Ask for James and Eliud because they truly are the best.
From the moment we got off the plane we were taken care of. There was a shuttle driver waiting for us on pick up. The hotels they booked for us were very nice with excellent food. Instead of losing weight in Kenya, I gained 5 lbs. Our guides James and Eliud were very accommodating, and truly went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. They became like a second family after several days.
We saw everything on our safari, all the animals you could dream of up close and personal eg. a pride of 12 lions, a leopard climbing a tree, elephants with their babies nursing, hippos fighting. The list goes on and on. The guides knew where to go and how to get the best viewing spots. We felt safe the whole time and knew our guides were always looking out for us.
I do not have one negative thing to say. It truly was a trip of a life time. The trip was family friendly. The kids enjoyed themselves and always felt and were safe and my parents(73 year olds) were also well taken care of. They did so much to make sure that even though my mom is mobility challenged, it did not affect her experience. If you are thinking of doing a safari, Amazing Memories Safari is the best way to see everything, feel safe, and be taken care of.

Memorable Safari trip
The visit to Masai Mara was the highlight of the trip. We also visited Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Amboseli National Park. The accommodations in tented camps were very comfortable with great food and service. Our guide was very helpful and made sure we saw all the animals. We didn't spend a lot of time in Nairobi but the giraffe center is worth a quick visit specially for young children.

Highly recommended!
My family (me, my husband, and our 5-year-old) booked a 13-day safari trip. The communication with Anne was very smooth. We had Eluid as our guide in Kenya and Mike from Migada Adventures as our guide in Tanzania. Both of them were extremely professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and helpful.
We visited Masai Mara and Amboseli in Kenya, and Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire in Tanzania, and were able to see over thirty species of mammals and over one hundred species of birds. Also, we took pictures and videos of wildebeests migrating, lions mating, elephants with babies, etc,...
Anne helped us arrange a night safari in Lake Manyara, which was also awesome. We were able to see some bushbabies and genets there.
This trip is truly AMAZING MEMORY for my family!

It was more than we expected, and an overall excellent experience, that i will recommend to everyone
It proved to be a great experience. We had excellent sightings through out the trip. The tour guide, Peter, was not only an extremely friendly person but was a very seasoned and knowledgeable guide. And was able to take us to the right spots for these sightings. Our camps were best in class with the available amenities made our stay extremely luxurious.

Great communication and a well organised safari operator
Amazing Memories Safaris were very organised and always communicated promptly. The initial planning of the safari revealed good knowledge of the safari options and answered all of my questions. Everything from transport, hotel and food organisation and the actual safari tours were great. We managed to see so many animals during our visit to Amboseli park, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara national parks. All three parks had their own beauty and were worth visiting. The kids said it was their best holiday ever! I would certainly recommend booking with Amazing Memories Safaris

Fabulous family holiday July 23
Our family took a safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania in July 2023. Amazing Memories organised every step of the journey providing kind, professional and friendly staff. We would definitely recommend them again.
