Lovely 1st Safari Experience
We were a group of 4 young adults from Singapore who had no clue about safaris! Andre was super responsive and patient through emails and WhatsApp. We took the 4 Day Kruger package and stayed at the Kruger Adventure Lodge. Pick ups and transfer to and fro Johannesburg Airport was smoothly done by our friendly guide, Thabo, and he brought us along the panaromic route too. At the clean lodge, the staff were super friendly and we even managed to catch all the Big 5 in one day thanks to our driver. Will definitely recommend this tour operator as it is 100% trustworthy! Hope to visit the beautiful South Africa again someday <3

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Barbara And Doug
Beautiful wildlife, some rare species that can’t be seen in other parks.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Barbara And Doug
Absolutely stunning wildlife but too many visitors/cars. Sometimes it feels wrong that cars disrupt the hunt of the animals or follow them too long and with way too many vehicles so that it gets annoying for the animals. This park should be restricted to a lower visitor number.

Amazing 17 day journey through Kenya’s mayor parks
We have been to Kenya many times and love the beautiful scenery and especially the amazing wildlife.
Our tour operator Anna from “Amazing Memories Safaris” was fantastic during the preparation phase and worked with us to plan and adjust the Safari exactly to our wishes. She also provided us with an amazing guide and driver, Daniel, who has in depth knowledge of all the animals we saw, about Kenya in general, and who was a really great guy to “be stuck with” for 17 days. Daniel went absolutely above and beyond to make this the best possible Safari for us and to accommodate every request we had. When we had a medical issue, Daniel made sure to get us to a very good hospital, stayed with us the entire time to guide us through the process and also called ahead to the next lodge to set up a follow up doctor’s appointment there.
He also is a great photographer and made sure to put us in excellent spots to take great pictures. In addition, and extremely important for a Safari, he was great in spotting animals.
The car was in good shape and the lodges beautiful. Everything was handled very professionally.
We hope we will be able to go back to Kenya in 2 or 3 years, at which time we will use the same operator and definitely go with Daniel as guide.

6 days safari
We did a 6 days custom camping safari (first timers) with Shemeji and it was as good as expected. All parks are amazing (landscapes and animals including birds) but 6 days was a bit too long.
All the safari companies seem to follow the same book for the food, tents and sometimes game circuits. So your guide/driver and car will be the main difference. Our driver/guide was very experienced, knowledgeable, nice and profesional. The car was in good condition. The food was delicious and they accommodated vegetarian meals. Our tent/bed was probably one of the best around. Campsites were ok considering the amount of people.
We chose to spend more time en the Serengeti (4d) and 2 in Tarangire and Ngrongoro as we needed the time to reach northern Serengeti (which ended up being my favorite) . In retrospective just pick one of the itineraries from their website.
Ngorongoro is a great day safari if you want too see almost al animals including lions. In mid October was raining and the visibility was so so.
Tarangire is gorgeous I loved the trees. If you don’t care too much about cats go there ( we saw a cheetah though)
Serengeti is worth all the dust you will get to reach to it...but if I you can afford it... Just fly to central and go from there. We did see the migration but no river crossing. The Mara section is gorgeous.

Incredible wildlife
Outstanding! Email contact, communication and consulting services with our agent have been perfect. Travel tips and recommendations for alternatives were very helpful in our selection process. Our lodge was incredible. Thornybush has totally overexceeded our expectations. Service and friendliness of the staff was brilliant and our Safari has been made unforgettable through our guide and tracker which built a perfect co-alliance while driving in the bush. Have seen all big 5 and a bunch of other animals. Every Dollar spent worth. Would love to come back once in a while to repeat this beautiful experience. Food quality was excellent and the taste variety was overwhelming. In a nutshell: Incredible

Mission impossible of Albert
It was a great experience where we saw so many kind of the animals. Especially lions and cheaters that were so close to me.
The guide from Jocky tours navigated us to the right place to see animals by communicating with other drivers in the National park. Thanks for jokey and guide Albert.

Thanks to our super tour guide we got to see all our favorite animals
Me and my friends had so much fun on this tour!! We did a 4 day tour conbined with other groups. We were able to see elephants, giraffes and cheaters on the first day. Then we stayed a camp with tents. The place was so peaceful and relaxing. The staff were so kind too. The next few days we were able to see lions, rhinos, zebras, baboons, buffalos and so many more animals!! But we were not be able to see flamingos at lake Nakuru. During the trip we were able to meet so many travelers, share stories and became friends too. Our awesome tour guide Albert was so good a finding the animals and worked so hard to make sure we did all the thing we wanted to do. Thanks a lot Albert and Jocky tours!!
