Amazing Experience
The safari was fantastic! Recommended through a friend, Paul explained thoroughly what would happen on the safari and I was left in the experienced, capable hands of Michael, a Tanzanian guide who was a professional gentleman from start to finish. He knew everything there was to know about the animals and birds and was able to answer all my questions. Despite visiting Ruhua during the grassy, wet season, I was delighted to see a vast range of animals from baboons to lions to hippos to crocs to zebras. It is hard to explain how fabulous and what a one in a million, life-changing experience it was. I felt like I was on a film set. Michael went out of his way to ensure I saw as much as possible in the short time I had on my schedule. I would highly recommend Paul Tickner Safaris!
Thank you for a fantastic experience and memories I shall treasure forever!

Perfect,Everything was exactly what i had asked for.
Dealing with Maggie was great, she worked with me to get what i wanted, She replied fast. all the camps and lodges we stayed at were beautiful. Tour Guide Gordon was courteous and knowledgeable, driving with safety in mind. We went the beginning of April which is rainy season, but saw very little rain if any. A lot of the camps and lodges were empty because it is off season, which is great because you got more attention by the staff. Did not get to see the big 5, we got 4 instead, the Leopard was hard to find, we were happy to see a cheetah so i will take that in its place. Amazing, plenty of wildlife and Birds everywhere we went, Beautiful scenery and friendly people everywhere. everything was perfect, no complaints here, just a dream come true for us. Thanks Maggie and Gordon at Tekko Tours.

An Lifetime Experience with Amazing Memories Safaris
In september I have been on a wonderful safari with my parents using Amazing Memories Safaris.
We stayed 3 nights at Base Camp in Masai Mara, a very quiet and comfortable camp. They really do their level best to give their guests a comfortable stay. The food was good and the tents are clean with a neat bathroom.
During the game drives we were quite lucky to spot the big five, except for the rhino that is.
The whole trip was very well planned, the driver guide Joseph had years of experience and could inform us about basically anything and everything. The Tour van was clean and well maintained. We all had a great experience and we would highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris.

A very personal
We had a tailor-made safari planned by mail together with Lenny, who also was our driver and guide during visits in Masai Mara, Samburo, Lake Naivasha and the Aberdares. It was a wonderful experience to meet Lenny, a real masai with a big love for his country and people! Lenny worked really hard to live up to our high expectations and succeded.

Good organisation, staff and services meant we had many excellent experiences in Tanzania.
We had wonderful safaris. Our guide, John, was knowledgeable,an excellent spotter of animals and obviously proud of the natural wonders found in Tanzania. He was always patient, happy, sociable and went out of his way to ensure we had wonderful experiences. The accommodation in most places was excellent - good rooms and good service. The food was great and we enjoyed our picnic lunches. The safaris themselves were awesome.

Safari to dream of
The transport by plane and landrovers went without a hitch. The guides at both camps in Ruaha and Serengeti South were friendly and really well informed. They took us on memorable game drives in quiet areas. We saw the migration of the wildebeest, lion, cheetah, hyaena and leopard as well as many smaller antelope and birds of prey. The highlight was a pack of wild dog. A particular delight were the meals set up in the bush during an early morning game drive. Africa still has a wonderful wild side and Africa Odyssey found it for us.

Our Tanzania trip can be stated in one word-"Perfection!"
With little information to go on, we only knew we wanted to go to Tanzania and fulfill our number one "bucket list item." It was pure luck that I found Africa Odyssey on line. Sure, I was a bit skeptical dealing with a company "across the Atlantic" with no personal references to go by...but the gentlemen in the office were nothing short of professional, helpful and so willing to speak to me whenever I needed an "extra dose of assurance!"
Each detail of the trip was flawless! Their recommendations were absolutely perfect and just as they stated.
Nothing can describe the thrill of being "up close" to the SIX crossings we viewed...and no picture can capture what it is like to be just a short distance from every animal you dreamed of seeing in their natural habitat.
The guides were so helpful and so willing to share their vast knowledge of animals, plants and life in Africa.
Beyond the safari, the down to the minute flights were unlike anything we experience here in the US. I think the only delay we had was 20 minutes!! (Delta, take some lessons!!)
The pinnacle of our travels was our visit to Oliver's Camp. It cannot be missed!
All I have thought about since my return from Africa is when I can go back.
