Efficient, professional with good communication
All the transfers were on time. The accommodation was excellent. The game drives were good with guides who had an extensive knowledge of both the park and animals.

Amazing trip of a lifetime!
Amazing Memories Safari‘s is the best tour operator you will find. The company was very friendly, easy to correspond with and accommodating with the best and most knowledgeable tour guides. We were a family of 11 including having a 3 year old, a 10 year and two 73 year olds. We booked for a 8 day and 9 night safari. Anne, our booking agent and trip planner, was amazing answering all my questions (which was a lot of questions before and after we booked) even if it was past her working hours. She always was so friendly and helpful. She changed and added things to our itinerary to make sure we were 100 percent satisfied. She truly developed my families dream vacation. She was such a pleasure to work with. As well, our tour guides, James and Eliud executed the best experience in Kenya you could imagine. (We needed 2 ranger rovers and 2 guides because there were so many of us). Ask for James and Eliud because they truly are the best.
From the moment we got off the plane we were taken care of. There was a shuttle driver waiting for us on pick up. The hotels they booked for us were very nice with excellent food. Instead of losing weight in Kenya, I gained 5 lbs. Our guides James and Eliud were very accommodating, and truly went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met. They became like a second family after several days.
We saw everything on our safari, all the animals you could dream of up close and personal eg. a pride of 12 lions, a leopard climbing a tree, elephants with their babies nursing, hippos fighting. The list goes on and on. The guides knew where to go and how to get the best viewing spots. We felt safe the whole time and knew our guides were always looking out for us.
I do not have one negative thing to say. It truly was a trip of a life time. The trip was family friendly. The kids enjoyed themselves and always felt and were safe and my parents(73 year olds) were also well taken care of. They did so much to make sure that even though my mom is mobility challenged, it did not affect her experience. If you are thinking of doing a safari, Amazing Memories Safari is the best way to see everything, feel safe, and be taken care of.

Excellent tour - awesome expreience
Its undoubtedly one of the best tours we have had.
Kameraz of Afrika had provided our team of 25 tourists the best and most experienced drivers.
The hotels were excellent and outstanding. Could not have asked for anything better.
Amazing and charming
Our guide was Exaud
An excellent and highly professional guide with a very charming personality. Has extensive knowledge about nature: vegetation, animals, their lifestyles and behavior, etc., as well as having extensive knowledge about the existing population; The different tribes, their traditions, their ways of life, etc. In addition to that, he knows every road and path in an extraordinary way.

The most amazing memorable experience
Excellence. Everything was organized down to the detail with sympathy. I went alone with a 6 year old child, felt safe and taken care of eveywhere, not only from the safari organization, but also the different hostings along the way. From the beginning the responsiveness was immediate, transparent and well-rounded options. Our super knowledgable guide was flexible and we felt at home. What an adventure, we loved it ! Special thanks to Yvlyn and Zablon, who took great care of us.

Very nice operator I can recommend!
I can definitely recommend the safari tour! The landscape is amazing and you can see a lot of animals. We lost our baggage at flight and got it two days later. Migration Venture was very helpful in coordination to get it back at airport. Unfortunately because of the delay of the luggage we had to make a different route and had to pay 100 USD extra to Migration Venture which was okay for us. Our guide was very nice and as it was a fully private tour we were quite flexible.

Carol Candi was our tour operator and she was always very prompt to answer any questions we had.
Tour operator and the drivers were very organised and they were very helpful. All the drivers were really nice and they did theirs best on game driving. We had a wonderful trip.

Amazing! Very communicative and helpful all through the trip.
From the moment I reached out to Morningstar Dennis and his team were nothing but professional, helpful and extremely communicative. Dennis crafted an itinerary for the amount of time I’d be in Kenya (about two weeks) and included a number of different national parks to go on safari as well as ending off in Diani Beach for a bit of relaxation. Willy my driver and tour guide was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure I had the best safari ever. Especially for the value and level of service you get I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Morningstar to friends and family!

Perfect honeymoon
Btat, the tour agent has been awesome from the first contact, we felt that this trip is important for her exactly as it was important for us.
She thought about every little detail, she planned it so carefully, and absolutely succeeded in making it the best honeymoon we could have asked.
So, let's start from the beginning.
We arrived to nairobi, and there was waiting the driver to pick us up. It was before we started the safari trip, and she wanted to give us a warm landing, sent us to the tribe hotel which was very nice, and exactly what we needed to relax before the week will start.
Then friday we met her and Chris. I will say right now, Chris is the most amazing person we ever met, his was an incredible tour guide and super safe driver. We got really connected to him.
We started with masai mara and keekorok lodge:
Perfect choice. The staff in the lodge were super duper kind, the candlelight dinner was amazing, and everything about that lodge was just incredible. Probably the best staff we met was there.
The masai mara itself was an incredible reserve. Woooww, we looveddd it so much. Perfect for 2 days of game drives. The air balloon to was an excellent choice, and very very special.
Then we moved to lake nakuru. Sarova lion hill, was very nice, and the reserve was excellent for one day.
Lake naivasha and enashipai. Super nice resort, crescent island was super cool, and very nice experience, we met there a super nice tour guide named walter, i think he should get an award of being the cutest guide we ever met.
From there we moved to 2 nights in mount kenya. Woooww! What an amazing resort. The staff was super kind, the candlelight dinner was more than amazing, and we just fel in love with farnck the waiter, and coli s the chef. They really were awesome. Ol pejeta to was an amazing reserve and we enjoyed it very much!!!
then we started our journey back to nairobi. And even though the program was to end with the very good lunch in the carnivores, the moment Btat heared our flight is at night, she immediately started thinking about other options of activities we can do with the time left. Again, another demonstartion of what in incredible tour agent she is.
Chris really made this trip so special and so amazing, he really wanted us to be happy and satisfied, and of course he absolutely made it.
Kenya got into our hearts and we cant wait to come back as soon as we can.

Friendly, helpful and nothing is to much trouble to make sure your safari is unforgetable
We booked the safari October 2022 after contacting Lucas and Serengeti African Tours. From the word go Lucas was helpful and informative with no hint of a hard sell attitude. It was a pleasurable booking experience from start to finish, we paid a 20% deposit on booking. Lucas explained everything and was always happy to answer the million and one questions we had.
Once we arrived in country everything went like clockwork. Our driver was at the airport when we arrived and Lucas met us at the hotel when we got there. Lucas went through all the details of our itinerary explaining our pick up times and the way the safari would go We paid the outstanding balance at the hotel although it was my decision Lucas was not pushy about it at all.
The safari was amazing, you do not really appreciate how many different animals you see in such close proximity. Our guide was knowledgeable and helpful, he seemed to know exactly where to be at just the right time. The Land cruiser that we were in carried 6 passengers and had plenty of room. We had a cooked lunch everyday in a eating area in the parks. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti and finished off with the Ngorongoro Crater. No explanation could match the beauty of the view of the crater from the viewing point.
We opted for the tented lodge rather that the tents, the tented lodges were lovely and also very well looked after. The food was very good too. All the lodges we visited had a bar. We really enjoyed the fire pits at night which really added to the experience and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
All in all this was a spectacular holiday made all the more pleasurable and memorable due to Lucas and his team. Lucas works hard and was always in regular contact to make sure we were happy and things were going well.
In my opinion you could not do better than book a safari with Lucas and the Serengiti African Tours. From start to finish the attention to detail was unrivalled and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending them for your safari
