Understood the assignment
Wayne Barnes was a great help. He took the time to understand what we were looking for and gave us lots of suggestions that were within our budget and fit the criteria. We found THE lodge and the experience there was fantastic too. Wayne communicated all specifications, dietary requirements, etc to the lodge and for the transfers. All went well and hopefully we will be back to South Africa soon

Crazy experience
I joined a 3 days safari in Lake Manyara, Ngoro Crater and Tarangire national park with other travellers. It was a very good experience. Solomon is by far the best driver ever. Even if we didn't see the big 5, we saw a lot of animals. The landscapes were so beautiful.

Amazing Memories - excellent company for putting together a wonderful Kenyan Safari and Beach trip
When we made up our minds that we wanted to make our next vacation a safari in Kenya, I began to look for company to help us actualize our desires. I emailed at least 6 companies that I found on the internet. Tens were available, so it was just a matter of checking reviews on each company and making an arbitrary selection from those with good reviews. We finally chose Amazing Memories Safaris (AMS) because I appreciated the quick and to the point responses that I received from Anne, who was our contact at AMS. From the get go Anne was easily and quickly available via email, WhatsApp and WhatsApp calls. She never made us feel uncomfortable about our continual plan changes and requests (We had some real problems getting our 5 person group together and Anne quoted us ever changing prices as our group shifted and changed over the course of about a month.)
When it came time to finalize an itinerary, AMS was helpful with recommendations and suggestions that we found to have very much in our interest. But perhaps best of all was the driver guide that they provided for us. We made a special request that the guide be someone familiar with the needs of a photographer since one of our party is a serious amateur photographer. In addition, we wanted a guide with a lot of knowledge about the animals and the culture of Kenya. Our driver guide James (Swahili name Magi) was all of this and more. He is an amateur photographer himself and was always on top of pointing out excellent photo opportunities and setting the vehicle up in such a way as to capture the best shots. He volunteered loads of interesting information about Kenya, its various peoples and of course its birds and other wild life. And when we had questions he almost always knew the answers. He also carried with hem a number of reference books on plants and animals. But most of all, James was such a charming and funny guy that we all feel so sad to have had to tell him goodbye at the end of our trip.
Everything about our trip went according to plan and our accommodations were all above satisfactory. I warmly recommend AMS to anyone looking to make a safari dream vacation a reality.

Amazing experience!
My two friends and I had an amazing experience with going green Safari. They offered an affordable price for 3 days of Safari from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi and Udzungwa Mountains. Our driver was amazing!! He picked us up from our Airbnb on day 1 and was able to get us to the airport on the 3rd day so that we could go on to our next destination. The Safari was amazing. We saw so many animals and got paired up with a knowledgeable and kind guide. The Safari car we got set up in was great too. The mountain hike we got another amazing guide and saw a lot of monkeys. As for lodging, the place we stayed was was STUNNING and the food was delicious! I would do this tour over again if I could! And will definitely be using going green safari again.

We had 2 days safari in masai mara organized with Lenchada safari company. Alex was really responsive and nice helping us organizing our trip. And about the actual safari experience…it was AMAZING! Dixon was our guide and he was smiley, happy and the best driver that you could get! He knows masai masa very well and he was leading us to see all the big 5 in 1 day. He was explaining a lot about the animals and he’s the best driver that you can get!! Such an adventure, thanks Dixon to make our experience unforgettable!!

Moses is a great driver with a lot stories about Kenya and animals. Very good!
The trip was absolutely amazing! We were picked up from the hotel by Moses. Moses is a fantastic tour guide and a very good driver. He took us to the camp, it is 5-6h drive from Nairobi. The camp is just outside the Masai Mara park. We lived in big tents, with comfortable beds and fully equipped toilets. The food was tasty, there are vegetarian options.
We met many children and Masais. You can give them some gift such us: pens, pencils, notebook, hats, BALLS (any balls, even used, for volleyball, football, tennis balls they love to play, and theirs are really used) or toys !!! They appreciate it.
The trip to park was excellent, we didn’t expect to see so many animals. Moses knows the park like his own home and took us to the best spots. The only thing we didn’t see was a rhino, but is is very rare.
We are amazed by organization and the trip. When you are leaving early take warm clothes (also a hat) mornings are cold and windy.
We spoke a lot to Masai, they are very friendly, like to talk and tell you all about they lives. Leave a lot of tips, because they have big families and they live from the tips.
We also went to Masai village. At first we didn’t know if we should go, if the people don’t mind it. It turned it they really like tourists and enjoy sharing they couture. Highly recommend buying things from them so they can pay for their children’s school. We also visited the school, the kids really wanted to talk to us.
All in all we are very happy!

Nothing was too much, very accommodating.
Dennis arranged everything we asked for in a fast, through manor. He was very realiable and I thought also the trip was reasonably priced. The lodges were stunning with great views.
Alex did not disappoint on Safari. His experience shone through. He managed to get us close to some amazing animals we felt very spoilt.

Amazing Safari experience!!!
Eddie was the best guide we could ask for a Safari trip. He is not only familiar with the roads and animals, but he is a great driver, knows a lot about Tanzania history and country culture, and can spot the best places to have an amazing view of the savanna! He is also super funny and easy going, and has a great spirit to join you on a trip. We recommend Eddie to everyone looking for a fun and great experience in Tanzania!
