Lifetime Experience
As our safari ended, we would like to let you know about our experience! It was amazing! It was a dream that came true! Especially the Maasai Mara Park is exactly what we had seen in documentaries! Sometimes we couldn't realise that we were actually there!
Our driver, Ken, is an amazing person and a wonderful driver as well. He was so persistent in searching for animals, he didn't stop until he found them all! Also, he mentioned a lot of info about the animals we were seeing, he was patient with our questions. His driving skills are top class. He made some crossings of deep creeks that seemed impossible. I really enjoyed the off road driving, as part of the whole experience. He was always polite and pleasant and he assisted our search for a wooden elephant sculpture! We are so pleased with our little elephant that my girlfriend decided to name it after Ken! Although the safari experience is breathtaking itself, Ken managed to make it even better!
Overall, we enjoyed to the max our safari. Thank you for that.

After some confusion about the cost of the trip. It was all very good. The weather was beautiful, our tripp to Dar es Salamis was interesting.

Fabulous
We went on Safari with Africa Flash McTours & Travel twice; April 2010 and September 2014. Both times the weather was beautiful, the animals plentiful and the experience mind boggling. Witnessing he Great Migration is beyond belief.
The people are polite, friendly, and anxious to please.
The magnitude of the Serengeti and Mara is difficult to imagine. On our last trip we covered over 2000 Km in three weeks, and loved every minute of it. We are planning to return soon. I would recommend Africa Flash McTours & Travel to my friends and anyone else.

Breathtaking
We had looked at different safari providers and after asking for quotes, we felt that Amazing memories Safari represented by Anne was the person who understood our wishes the best, and could incorporate some individual touches to our safari, e.g. we had planned to bring a friend to Amboseli Park with us and wanted to add Lake Naivasha into the itinerary including a boat tour. During the planning via email we discussed the choice of minivan vs landcruiser and which lodges to stay at.
Our safari started at 6.30 am mid December on a rainy day, however Steve and Anne picked us up from Nairobi Airport and our trip to Amboseli National Park with Steve started well, as we started to wake up and get to know Steve and vice versa. By the time we had arrived, the rain had stopped and we had already seen and stopped to see couple of giraffes and zebras outside the park on our way.
The choice of lodges suggested to us by Amazing memories Safari were great, always a kind welcome by the staff, very nice and clean tent lodges including mosquito nets, good food, either buffet or by menu. At the Flamingo Hill Camp at Lake Nakuru, at that time of year, we were the only guests by chance and they went out of the way and we had lunch close to the pool and a romantic dinner near the bar. The camp also had several bird species in their trees which I could observe and take photos off. Osero Camp in Masaii Mara had the best food and on our last evening at 6pm, we were lucky enough that a bushbuck stopped and looked at us while we were sitting outside the tent!
Out of all the places we visited, there was just one place, the Ark in Aberdare, that was slightly disappointing. It had rained the past days and rained in the evening, therefore buffalos, hyenas, birds, warthogs were at the salt water hole, however, no elephants or lion. Furthermore, one group was very noisy and smoked on the lower balcony and used a drone in the morning. We were glad that the staff actually told the smoker about the camp rules, however even though it was forbidden to use the drone, they still used it anyway.
Steve is a wonderful guide, he drove us safely from the airport to Amboseli, to Aberdare, to Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha to Masaii Mara and back to Nairobi. We had interesting discussions with him about Kenya, the world, the wildlife, any topic we came up with during our drives, inspired by what we saw or heard. He introduced us to the different kind of animals, and was able to find animals, that were hiding high up in the trees or almost hiding in a hole. We had a lot of fun engaging in searching for sometimes more difficult to find animals such as lions, cheetahs and leopards. Steve knew which animals we were particularly interested and managed to find ways in the different locations to get close to observe for example the flamingos in Amboseli (!),and hippos and crocodiles in the Mara river! We felt very safe in the landcruiser with Steve, even when the terrain become slightly muddier in some cases, as we occasionally had rainy nights and took some of the less travelled paths.
Thanks to Steve, we were able to take many great pictures and he managed to exceed our expectations of the safari! We take so many vivid and magnificent impressions home and highly recommend Amazing Safari and Steve!

Fantastic,great service,value for money.
Everything went as planned with great communication from all at Wild Wings.
Simon our guide is an excellent host with a wealth of knowledge , experience and who can spot a tick on the behind of a Rhino at a 1000 yards. We had great fun.
We will be recommending Wild Wings to all our friends and family and will most certainly use Wild Wings again ourselves.

thank you for all Paul
Hi,
We finished 2 safari with KET in January and August 2013 for 1 week for each. Paul and his staff perfect, kind, clever. Also lodges of KET in Masaii Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha and Nakuru are wonderful.
We saw big 5 in each Safari because of effort of his staff. You can trust Paul always.
Safari is easy with KET; trust me.... :)
