Wonderful expedition across Tanzania national parks
Said was my guide for one week across main Tanzania national parks in January 2024.
The excursion was very well prepared by Said which offered a plan reserving space for some surprises along the way and accommodating my needs.
Said is a very experienced guide and he can tell you a lot of stories about Tanzania people, culture and the animals (of course :) in both english and french. He is also very respectful, leaving you the time to contemplate the beauty of nature in silence.
Last but not least, I felt very safe and I could enjoy every bit of the experience.
I definitely recommend to visit Tanzania with Said, you will have fun and take home with you beautiful memories!

Unforgettable trip that was tailored to perfection!!
From start to finish, the 8 day safari trip to 4 national parks my wife and I embarked on was absolute perfection. Not only was every moment flawlessly organized, but the staff was so kind and welcoming too. The owner, Judith, and her assistant Anita even went as far as to greet my wife with a beautiful bouquet of flowers once we arrived at the hotel! To add to this delight, Judith's quick problem solving was not overlooked. When my luggage was mistakenly left in Ethiopia, Judith worked her magic and managed to have it delivered to me the next day in Serengeti! We were in truly great hands throughout the trip.
A special shoutout to our tour guide Harun, who was knowledgeable, professional, and extremely experienced, yet so kind that he felt like a part of our family on this trip. His passion for the nature and wildlife is clear, and his wisdom enhanced every moment of our trip. Words can't describe how great he is!
I highly recommend this agency for anyone looking for a well organized adventure.

An expert guide, who knows nature like his back pocket and who is always up for a chat.
Our trip was smooth from start to finish thanks to Saïd’s professionalism and good planning. He is always open for suggestions of things you want to see and always makes sure you get the best (honeymoon) treatment in each accommodation. He speaks swahili, English and French fluently and knows all the other guides around. We had an amazing time and would love to go on an other adventure with him.

Outstanding - highly reccomend!
From the planning stage Clyde was brilliant. He spent time getting to know us and then planning our ideal trip. We had a couple of FaceTime calls to discuss. He is clearly knowledgable and was able to offer some great ideas for our trip. We knew we had be listened to as when the iteanrry came back it covered everything we wanted. The choice of lodges for safari and all other accommodation was excellent. All internal flights were included and booked for us. Noting was a problem.
Communication before and during the holiday was excellent. We were able to download an App before we left which had our itinerary clearly laid out. The App was so useful and ensured we knew what to expect and the numbers of days at each destination. Some useful tips for travel eg luggage weight for the internal flights. We even got a message from Clyde on the day we left wishing us a safe flight. Some of these personal touches may the holiday very special. Both Clyde and Amy were great at answering any questions we had.
The holiday its self was just amazing! It was everything and more than we wanted. Everywhere we stayed was of a high standard. Staff were just amazing. Pick up times and travel was all well organised we felt very safe. Drivers met us of planes and picked us up from places. Everyone we met was just so accommodating nothing was too much!
The safaris and Victoria Falls were magnificent. We loved every minute.
I can’t recommend highly enough Tailor made Africa. I have already shared details with friends who saw all our photos and want to book a trip. When we visit Africa again we will definitely be booking with Clyde and team again! Thank you for making it all so special!

super smooth experience!
I thoroughly enjoyed my day out bird watching at Semuliki National Park. The driver was punctual and friendly. My guide Patricia was really knowledgeable and her passion for birding showed! We saw some 35 different species that on visit. The food experience at the female hot springs was great, my main meal of the day. Moses, the park guide, was really knowledgeable and helpful too. All went out of their way to ensure a great trip. Overall a great experience all round! Thank you!!
Violet can also arrange trips to the local community, she has a good relationship with the people in the village.

Professional and Attentive
Our ten day tour which included a two night mokoro trip, walking safari, and mobile safari through Moremi, Savuti, and Chobe reserves was outstanding. The planning of our tour was easy, the trip itself was an amazing family experience, and we would recommend Shipungu for others without any hesitation. Our guide, Voice, was a true professional. He was incredible at reading tracks and finding hidden cats especially! He also is just a wonderful human and we enjoyed getting to know him and all of the staff that traveled with us from site to site. Avelino (the chef) in particular impressed us with his campside bread making skills and delicious meals! We felt taken care of at every turn and the staff managed a casual yet professional tone that suited our family perfectly - attentive but gave us privacy and generally fun people to spend an extended camping trip with! Thank you Shipungu!! We hope to be back someday to do it again!!

Pleasant and knowledgeable.
I recently had the privilege of experiencing a private safari with Amazing Memories Safaris, and I can genuinely say they live up to their name! My journey began after thorough research, where I found glowing reviews from a woman who had an incredible experience with this company. Her excitement and positive energy convinced me to trust Amazing Memories Safaris, and I’m so glad I did.
From the start, the communication with Dorcas was exceptional. She was patient, responsive, and answered every single question I had, making the entire planning process seamless. Dorcas guided me through designing a customized safari that was not only affordable but also tailored to my specific desires. I felt comfortable and reassured by her professionalism and her genuine care throughout the process.
When we arrived, we were assigned Patrick as our safari guide, and he was nothing short of amazing. Patrick was personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. He took the time to ensure we had the best experience possible, allowing us to go at our own pace and making us feel completely at ease. His knowledge of the animals and the landscape was outstanding, and he made sure we didn’t just 'see' the wildlife, but truly experienced the magic of the safari. From learning about the behaviors of the Big Five to understanding the delicate balance of the ecosystem, Patrick enriched our experience with insights we’ll never forget.
Patrick also guided us safely and attentively throughout the safari, ensuring we had the most memorable moments while feeling secure and cared for. His ability to make us feel comfortable, safe, and engaged transformed our trip into something far beyond what we could have imagined.
Amazing Memories Safaris delivered on every promise and more. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a truly personalized, professional, and unforgettable safari experience. Special thanks to Dorcas for her exceptional guidance, and to Patrick for being such an incredible guide. This trip was everything we had hoped for and more!
