Amazing experiences in beautiful Kenya
We have taken many trips around the world mostly using travel agencies. However, we decided to try and hire someone locally this time around which was daunting and a bit scary. After much research online, we narrowed down our options to a handful of companies and finally decided on "Best Memory Safaris' mainly because of high reviews at first and later because it was so easy to tailor the trip to our needs and wants, the highly rated accommodations and the excellent customer service we received from Issac. I am so glad we made this choice!
From our pickup at the airport at 5:00AM on day #1 to our drop off after 12 days of safaris went without a hitch and was probably one of the best trip we have made. The experience was above and beyond what we expected. The accommodations were beautiful, clean, safe and we were always met with friendly staff and the food was amazing.
One of the best parts of the trip was our guide Michael without whom I am not sure we would have seen the wildlife we saw and experienced numerous awe inspiring moments almost every single day. We never once felt rushed or unsafe during the trip. Michael was an excellent safe driver which we were thankful for after seeing some drivers racing by us!! He knew the ins and outs of all the six parks we visited and has excellent knowledge of the wildlife.
We experienced amazing moments such as a pride of lionesses with their cubs lazing around, two lionesses sleeping while the cubs played in a nearby bush, three male Lions probably guarding their pride, a mating couple just next to our jeep etc etc. We even experienced a Lion guarding his overnight hunt which was a buffalo and a wildebeest!! It was amazing to see herds of beautiful elephant families passing right by us, behind our accommodations (with electric fences) etc etc almost daily. We saw two types of rhinoceros with their families, different types of giraffes, buffalos, hippos, antelopes, flamingos, pelicans and other birds, we saw one beautiful cheetah walking in the savannah, but the most amazing of all was when we saw a cheetah kill towards the end of our trip. We saw it lay eyes on its prey a poor dik-dik, lay in wait for it, capture it and enjoy its meal!! Michael somehow hear about this cheetah sighting and got us there in time to see it all!! Asantae Sana Michael.
Almost forgot the beautiful people of Kenya we met along the way including the two Maasai bomas. Unforgettable trip!

Really Best Memories
Our experience was truly Best Memories!
Isaac (the owner of the agency) organized 8 days of safari according to our needs. We needed to start the tour from Nairobi and end it directly in Watamu where we spent another week.
Isaac was one of the few who, adding a visit to Tsavo East to the program, took us directly to the sea without internal flights (generally safaris start and end in Nairobi).
We saw many beautiful parks (Masai Maara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East) and thanks to our excellent guide Patrick we managed to see all the animals!
The accommodations chosen were very nice, especially the tented camps.
We must give special thanks to our guide/driver Patrick who contributed, with his experience and professionalism, to making this experience unforgettable!
A tip: choose the sole tour in a Land Cruiser; the small extra charge is well worth it!
Isaac has always been available and quick in requests for information both in the organization phase and when we were in Kenya.
I highly recommend Best Memories Safari

A dream come true (Safari in Kenya)
We have booked our honeymoon with Best Memory Safaris. The trip was excellent. It last 14 days including 8 days of safari, 5 days at the beach and 1 day for arrival and departure.
planning and booking
Our contact person for the organization and booking of the tour was Isaac Musyoki. We were requesting for our safari offer very late, only 3 weeks before the 1st game drive started. Despite this fact, in consultation with Isaac we have created a customized journey in less than one week of time. The booking process is characterized by a high level of flexibility. Even special wishes like meeting up with my wifes godchild would have been possible.
arrival
After our arrival at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya Isaac and Bernard Ngei, our game driver, picked us up directly to start the safari tours. The warm welcome immediately made us feel that we are in good hands. After Isaac left us in the city of Nairobi, we went on our tour together with Bernard.
game drives
Our ranger Bernard first took us to the national parks Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West before he drove us to Diani Beach. We have spent the whole 8 days of safari together with him and enjoyed every second of it. Together we drove approx. 2000 km through the country and its national parks. Usually we did two game drives a day. One in the early morning, starting between 6 am and 7 am., and one in the afternoon.
Due to the fact, that a safari trip probably stands and falls with the guide, we would like to share some of our impressions of Bernard:
a) He is very friendly, attentive and always cares about his guests, which means he is asking if a toilet stop is necessary or if there is still enough drinking water in the car to give a few examples.
b) He shapes the game drives flexible (i.e. weather-dependent) and is very regardful about his passengers. Whenever we needed a rest, i.e. after a long trip, he adjusted the time for the upcoming game drive.
c) He respects the habits and habitats of the animals. He knows how to provide an excellent view to the animals and the scenery for taking very nice pictures without disturbing the animals.
d) He is extremely experienced (> 25 years of safari tours) and therefore gained so much knowledge about his home country Kenya and its animals.
e) Moreover he understands and predicts the behavior of the animals. That’s why he is always one step ahead of many other game drivers to get the best views to the animals for his passengers. He acts absolutely far-seeing.
f) He does not overload the passengers with too much information about the animals. He doses information the right way and is also a good listener when talking with each other.
g) He is cross-linked to so many people across Kenya. It is unbelievable. It seems like he is knowing every person in Kenya.
h) He is multilingual. He speaks Swahili and the other languages spoken in Kenya (native languages). Furthermore he speaks excellent English (2nd native language) and also German. Probably he is even speaking more languages that we did not find out.
i) He knows the limits of his land cruiser (recommended) and the conditions of the roads. That’s why we always felt very safe.
j) He helps in every situation and clarifies that vegetables are washed with drinking water in the accommodations we have been.
Bernard Ngei made our honeymoon very special. Every second with him was so much fun. We really enjoyed our community.
accommodations
We have stayed in high standard tent camps and lodges, that were very clean, provided a wide range of meals and had a very friendly and helpful staff.
departure
A business-partner of Best Memory Safaris brought us from our hotel in Diani Beach to the airport of Mombasa, from where we flew home with all these beautiful memories in our bag.
conclusion
If you are planning to do a safari tour, book with Best Memory Safaris. The name says it all. They get a five star rating from us.

Great customer care and professionalism
We had a two weeks safari tour through 5 different parks, north west to south east of Kenya. All different, all great places. Wonderful accommodation and care for details. We had the same driver for the whole journey, very professional but also empathetic and engaged. We had a close look to all the big five, he knew what to look for and when.
Good comfort on the Rover.
The we finished the holiday with a week in a village south of Mombasa, relaxing and decompressing from the tour.
All in all great value for money.

Once in a lifetime experience!
We had a wonderful time on our safari, and Patrick was an excellent guide. We felt 100% safe the entire time, and saw plenty of wildlife. A highlight were the hippos that walked almost up to our hotel room!
This was great value for our money--there is no need to spend more. The camps were very comfortable, and I got into the rhythm pretty quickly, with tea at 3 pm and a bonfire at 7 pm every night.
Starting in Nairobi and ending at Diani Beach made a lot of sense for us, as we were able to add some beach time after our safari, as well as have a bit of time to get to know Nairobi.
I would strongly recommend this for other families looking to have a memorable and educational vacation.

Great Experience- well organized
we just returned from our 12 day trip in Kenya, it was an amazing experience , we started in Nairobi and moved everyday or other day to a new destination, our trip ended in Diani beach where we spent two days enjoying the Indian ocean.
I have planned the trip with Isaac, who was super responsive and considerate of my requests, he met us on our arrival at the airport with our Guide Ngai.
Ngai was our guide , our driver and our friend for the 11 days we spent in Kenya, he was an amazing guide who went out of his way to make sure we complete our trip as planned . he was so accommodating specially with our young kids, he knew all the parks and all the spots where we can see the animals, we were lucky to see all the BIG 5, he was extremely organized and considerate . he explained everything ahead of time and was very punctual.
I highly recommend Ngai and Best Memory Safaris, they both made our trip successful and made us fall in love with Kenya.

Second safari was perfect too!
This was my second safari with Isaac. The first time was with middle age women. The second with me and young adults. He tailors the safari perfectly and takes care of everything. Truly door to door service. His guides are wonderful. I am not sure how they do it, but it seems that they are the very best at anticipating not just where the big 5 are, but what will be the best viewing angle. I actually felt sorry for some of the other visitors whose guides were not as clever. The guides are so knowledgeable. Isaac customizes the tour so that it is truly the trip of a lifetime.
My brother and his family spent far more and saw far less. This safari is definitely a bargain- staying in the same glamorous camps.

Very good accommodations
We really enjoyed our experience with Isaac and Michael: very good choices of both parks and accommodations, our driver Michael explained very clearly facts about nature, people and animals.
The only negative point is that some transfers between places required a really long drive.

Exceptional, professional, reliable, attentive, trustworthy
We couldn’t be happier with our experience with this agency (Isaac) during our trip to Africa. From start to finish, everything was incredibly well-organized and exactly as promised, which made the journey completely stress-free. The agency was highly reliable and exceptionally flexible in accommodating our needs. The value for money was outstanding—every hotel and itinerary detail matched our expectations, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into planning this trip to give us the best possible experience.
Our 10-day safari and 5-day beach stay were nothing short of perfect, providing our entire family with some of our BEST memories :)Patrick, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. He had a unique talent for spotting wildlife, which allowed us to see an impressive variety of animals up close. This made the safari experience especially exciting and unforgettable.
Thank you to the team for making this such a memorable trip for all of us. We would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to explore Africa with both reliability and flexibility at a great value.
