Great family safari with Matembezi
Our small family group of three generations had a wonderful Matembezi safari to Tanzania in early July. Onesmo Mbesi was our guide and honorary member of the family! In addition to being an excellent guide and driver, he has an amazing knowledge about everything we saw -- flora, fauna, geology, people, and history! We experienced close-up views of big and small animals, and Onesmo educated us about their lives, habits, and behaviors. Watching Wildebeest frantically crossing the Mara River was wonderful. Birding was of special interest, and Onesmo was amazing at hearing and spotting them and patiently pointing them out to us -- about 140 species were new to us. Onesmo's knowledge is awesome; he provided in-depth answers to every question about anything: the surroundings, geology, history, and Tanzania's people.
The pace and scope of our short trip was perfect, including amazing parks and reserves. Our accommodations were lovely and very suited to our group. Several camps had swimming pools and gardens to enjoy. The food was good and the people very congenial and helpful -- they enjoy their jobs and contact with us as visitors to their country. We were treated to a surprise birthday celebration with cake and singing at one of our camps, a lovely and unforgettable event! It was definitely an experience we'll remember and treasure and recommend!

Amazing Experience!
We found Africa Safari Classic on safaribooking.com and, since one of the tours matched perfectly with what we had in mind, we decided to contact Maurice.
From the first moment to when we returned home everything was perfect and superbly organized.
Abdul, our guide, was extremely helpful and very kind throughout our trip, giving us lots of interesting information about what we saw and satisfying all our requests.
Shifts and lodges were truly incredible and we had the chance to stay in fantastic places surrounded by nature.
For all these reasons I can only recommend Africa Safari Classics because it will surely give you an extraordinary experience!

Animals and fun
We booked a five day camping and lodge safari at Shemeji. We had a wonderful time with Omari ('mr Eagle Eye') and Godson ('mr Delicious'). We were suprised by the luxury and good taste of the prepared meals on the campsite in the middle of the Serengeti. Omari showed us many animals and nice places and we had a lot of laughs.
Shemeji also carefully booked the rest of our trip to the Usambara mountains and Zanzibar.
It was a trip we will never forget.

Fantastic 13 Day Safari Through Kenya & Tanzania
Amazing Memories Safaris coordinated a 13 day safari through Kenya and Tanzania for my wife and I. We had a wonderful trip full of many great memories and amazing experiences.
Anne was extremely helpful from our very first inquiry through our return home. She planned our dream safari and made sure it exceeded our expectations. We are very thankful to our guide through Kenya, Musa. His experience really showed throughout the trip as he knew exactly how to put us in the best positions to experience incredible wildlife. For example, Musa would position the vehicle to even view wildlife with the best lighting. The little things made a big difference. Charles was our guide in Tanzania and his passion for his job was evident. He loved sharing his knowledge of the animals with us, and we very much enjoyed our conversations with him. Both guides were top notch!
We felt completely safe with Amazing Memories Safaris. The guides were excellent drivers, and we felt they really cared about us during our time. My wife and I would definitely recommend this company, and we are very glad that we traveled with them!

BEST OF THE BEST SAFARIS EVER
This was truly a great and unforgettable experience, the guys at pride of africa are very professional and accurate in the description of the packages on their website. Since the first contact with Stephen,everything was perfect and what i expected of an experienced tour operator.
I booked a 7-day Maasai Mara,Lake Naivasha,Lake Nakuru and Amboseli visit,and as i was travelling solo i joined a group of 6,with our driver and guide Lawi. Due to skills of Lawi, we were able to see lions,leopards,cheetahs,Elephants,Wildebeest,Gazelles,Baboons and many other animals in their natural habitat.
I had chosen the camping option,and that too was a whole other experience all together,the camp was very comfortable with hot showers and ultimately the whole experience was amazing,althogh they also can arrange for other accommodation options as well.
I would definitely book other tours with Pride of Africa again if i get the chance of adventure and exploration in this part of the world.

Great experience!
Africa challenge was an exceptional company. Kennedy was prompt with replies to questions and there were no suprises. Highlight was the flexibility. We readjusted our itinerary a couple of times which made for a better trip. Our driver/guide (Jackson) was very experienced and professional. He consistently put us in position to take wonderful pictures. Highly recommend.

Quick mobilization and excellent game drive!
As someone always planning things on the last minute, I was pleasantly surprised to having been able to book this amazing safari the day before we departed. Antony was attentive throughout the booking process, both through e-mail and Whatsapp, and received us in person both at departure as of arrival. The safari itself was carried out by James who was a fantastic driver and guide that got to show us so many animals and a wonderful time! All while being patient with us often being late or asking to see more and more. An unforgettable experience and I certainly recommend Tazama for a good time!

Truly pride of Africa (20 days Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia)
We had a nice time with this safari Pride of Africa Adventures in 3 African countries where by we started with Tanzania, Kenya then Ethiopia. The guides were amazing more so Lawi of Kenya, was amazing. He was kind, knowledgeable, and kept us safe. We saw all of the big five except the leopard, but we spent extra time trying to find one and Lawi asked every other guide to try to help. We stayed at the lodges and they highly recommend luxury accommodation in these countries. My best friend and I did the 20 days safari at Nakuru, Naivasha, Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Serengeti and both Southern and Northern Ethiopia. We loved the Masai village, the different attractions and many other things including the service.
I do recommend this company for African Safaris as I saw before I booked in some of the reviews. THEY ARE HONEST PEOPLE AND GIVE WHAT THEY PROMISE

Worth it
David Simba is a great guide. Group experience is for sure not worse than a private tour. We had only 5 people including us. The camping was just fine. We didn’t expect but one camp even had WiFi and hot water in showers. So overall I’m really glad we chose this company. Recommend it. And safari of course was super fun and interesting. The food was also ok in a way. Nothing special :) I didn’t have high expectations so I think it’s all good.
