Nice Safari from Mombasa to Nairobi
We did a very cool Safari from Mombasa to Nairobi. We visited 3 different Nationalparks. Everyone was different. Because of our Guide Goffrey we got. To See the Big 5. He did everything he could to find the Lions for us. In the End we Even saw 8 of them. The Lodges were very nice. In the Evening even the Wildlife visited. It was an wonderful experience.
We were very happy with our tour and can only advise it. We had a Great Time.

Godlisten is an absolutely amazing guide that made this the trip of a lifetime.
Godlisten is fantastic! Every day he managed to get us to something spectacular. We saw the wildebeests crossing within half hour of reaching the Mara River, had an entire pride of lions to ourselves (including the cutest baby cubs we have ever seen), and saw every animal possible including the rare caracal cat and several black rhinos. The food was spectacular, scenery amazing, and his knowledge and experience always landed us in the right place at the right time. We quickly learned on this trip that it is the guide that makes the difference - and spoke with many people with other guide services that unfortunately missed out on so much. He is the only guide that we will ever consider in our future Tanzania travels.

Not suitable for a couple's getaway
My fiancé and I booked a 6-day Kruger safari with Wild Planet Safari and we were so excited! Unfortunately, we were disappointed and ultimately, I do not recommend this company.
I will say that the safari guide was super knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions regarding wildlife.
I think the biggest problem we had is that we went as a couple, and it was not specified that all three meals would be eaten with the guide and his assistant. We were looking for a more intimate experience at dinnertime under the stars with a bottle of wine.
In general, we also had problems with the included food; the “friendly coffee gatherings” – as to quote the day-by-day itinerary– in the early mornings, for instance, consisted of instant coffee served in tin cups. (All coffee drinkers will agree that instant coffee is terrible). I had pictured sharing a hot thermos filled with freshly brewed coffee. There were coffee shops at the camp sites, so this could’ve easily been arranged.
Some of our food and drink requests (which were approved prior to the safari) were not met; and there were no crackling fires and bonfire glows at nighttime, as to quote the safari description. The owner (who was very defensive when I emailed her afterwards) told me that because of a cold front (which only started at the end of our safari), it got very windy and they could not risk lighting bond fires. She also said our opinions were molded by the cold weather when we had packed long layers, gloves, jackets, etc. just to be on the safe side.
Whoever wrote the safari description is a fantastic writer because we didn’t even think about asking questions re: coffee and fires (etc). I really fell for the beautiful, idealized descriptions of the itinerary.
There were a couple of other little things, such as a missing bottle of wine, some terribly overcooked steaks (I find that mind boggling, because the cook asked us how we wanted it prepared and we said “rare” and “medium”, yet everything steak came out identical); and I still don’t know what happened to a dinner salad that supposedly went bad. I eat TONS of fruit and veggies, so yes, it was THAT important to me.
They do get 5 stars for providing us with great wine in the evening though :).
So if your heart is set on visiting Kruger, I strongly urge you to choose another company.

A beautiful, safe and interesting country with a variety of places to visit and friendly people.
Namibia is a safe and interesting country with great highlights. The sand dunes, Soussusvlei and the desert offer an unforgetable experience. The people are very friendly and prond to share their culture with turists.

Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Tania
The scenery is amazing and very pleasant. This is not a crowded area bringing the tranquility atnosphere that we were looking for.
The birds are all over the place and at night you can easly observe the starts.

Amazing Memories Adventure
Our safari experience with Amazing Memories was nothing short of breathtaking. This tour company collaborated with us to craft a journey that exceeded every expectation and left us with memories we will cherish forever. We explored some of Kenya's most renowned wildlife reserves—Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and even enjoyed glimpses of Mount Kilimanjaro. The adventure was filled with encounters with Africa's iconic wildlife, made even more special by the exceptional service and deep local expertise provided by Amazing Memories.
From the start, the team at Amazing Memories was warm, welcoming, and impressively organized. Our guide, Joseph, was both a skilled navigator and a naturalist, offering insightful commentary on animal behavior. His passion for wildlife and extensive knowledge enhanced the trip. Every part of our itinerary flowed smoothly, with accommodations and travel logistics all seamlessly managed by Amazing Memories. This allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the wildlife experience.
The wildlife sightings were astonishing. In Masai Mara, we witnessed the magnificent Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and black rhinos. But the surprises kept coming. We spotted a cheetah with five adorable cubs, an awe-inspiring and rare sight. Seeing such a young family thrive in their natural habitat underscored the beauty and fragility of these ecosystems. We also encountered lions lounging in the savannah, majestic herds of elephants roaming gracefully, and even baby rhinos, a testament to the diversity of the region’s wildlife.
The wetlands of Amboseli, with its sprawling vistas and unique birdlife, including flocks of vibrant flamingos. The herds of wildebeests, elephants, and zebra migrating each day was a unique experience. The weather cooperated - the sun rise with elephants crossing the plains with Kilimanjaro in the distance is a memory etched in our minds forever.
What sets Amazing Memories apart was their courtesy, organization, and knowledge of the country. Beyond just a safari, we felt connected to the land, its wildlife, and the people. Every aspect of our trip was thoughtfully curated, from luxurious yet eco-conscious accommodations that fit within our budget – great value for the cost. For anyone dreaming of an African safari, Amazing Memories Safari is the way to go. Our safari was indeed filled with amazing memories—memories that will stay with us forever.

So so so Wonderful，what can i say？
Thank you very much to Serengeti Smile for the 9-day, 8-night trip to Tanzania. Perfect travel experience, 0 error rate, and very cost-effective quotation! Especially our tour guide John, we found him through the recommendation of 小红书App，which is the best choice for our trip! He has been in this industry for 20 years and can always help us find animals at the first time and occupy the best geographical location to observe animals. John is very kind, and his work style is very consistent with Chinese habits. We are very grateful for his care these days! Believe me, there is no animal he can't find! I hope Serengeti Smile Company will get better and better, and we will introduce more Chinese friends to this company to participate in Safari!

Fantastic booking experience!!
I came across Untamed Safaris via a FB ad while researching how to best go about planning our maiden safari somewhere in Africa. After contacting them, I was super impressed with the level of communication, care factor and overall service commitment by Ryan from Untamed Safaris. It was super easy to discuss with Ryan what we were after and very quickly we had tailored an itinerary that was loosely based on an existing route in South Africa. Ryan was always reachable via sms, email or a quick phone call. After going through tons of other safari routes/tours and operators we strongly felt that we received a very competitive offer and a value for money trip.
We just returned a few days ago and the trip itself was nothing but breathtaking. Every single leg was an amazing experience. The lodging. The game drives. Lots of life-lasting memories made!! We already mentioned to Ryan that if we ever go
To Africa again he will be our
Go-to guy.
Cannot praise this operator highly enough:)

Organized and well planned tour
Great communication before our trip, so we knew exactly what to expect. Good quality accommodation and vehicles. We thoroughly enjoyed our game drives, where we saw the Big 5 and lots of other wonderful animals. Our tour guide Brian was a wealth of knowledge, and had great patience for all our questions!
