A Dream come True!!
After reading other reviews online I decided to approach Anne from Amazing Memories Safaris for an itinerary and quote which she provided very promptly. She was terrific at answering my many questions and made the whole process through to our arrival very easy. We (my Daughter and I)were collected from the International airport in Nairobi very early on the morning of our arrival and were greeted by Joseph who was to be our driver/guide for the duration of our stay. He proved to be friendly and helpful and super knowledgable of the area and the animals we were to begin seeing shortly after.
Our accommodation at the three different parks, Tsavo East - Tsavo West and Amboseli was amazing. Better than we had even hoped for. Joseph took us for morning and evening drives and we were stunned by his vast knowledge and interesting stories. He was just brilliant to spend time with.
He delivered us to our accommodation at the end of our journey in Mombassa.
We will definitely be returning, hopefully hubby can join me next time.

Good People. Great agent. Deep knowledge and insights.
My wife and I have been arranging trips for our family every year since our children were old enough to remember great experiences. In all cases, I planned the adventures because I enjoy researching and reading up ahead of the trip. My family would tell you I would make a phenomenal travel agent. In the case of Africa, I decided to relinquish the duty to a travel professional (Compass Odyssey) as I did not have the same confidence in planning a safari, deal with multiple border crossings, language, exchange, political and cultural uncertainties. We visited Victoria Falls, had a safari in Zambia, and then a safari in the Okavango Delta.
I can tell you I am extremely impressed with the knowledge, level of care, detail, follow-up, follow-through (in planning, during the trip and post trip) we received. Unbelievable trip and life experience! And at a very reasonable price. Darren even suggested I make certain arrangements for a separate part of our trip on my own to save some money. It is clear that Darren and his team have deep relationships throughout the industry and is very well liked. Per the industry standard terms, I was extremely hesitant to wire such a large sum of money well ahead of arriving, especially since the relationship started online without a referral. I was greatly relieved and confident as time marched on and I saw the continued communication, passion and then a wonderful trip that followed. Since my children felt this was the best trip yet, I will have to concede that Darren and team take first place, ahead of myself, in planning the perfect trip. Feel free to reach out via email for additional support and detail, as I am more than willing to share this experience with anyone who may benefit. Darren has my permission to share my address as it suits his client’s needs. P.s. I do not usually believe in websites that show a perfect 5.0 rating. I even thought about rating them a 4.5 just to show some balance. Nah. Its 5.0

Review about Tarangire National Park by Frank Valdez
I think I saw more wildlife in Tarangire as opposed to the Serengeti.

It was just about what i had expected; the guides were great; the food and accommodations very good.
I was just a little disappointed by the lack of male lions to be seen, and that we only saw a rhino on the last day of the trip. The hot-air balloon ride was nice, but, again, we saw very little wildlife on the ground. The weather was great, as were the accommodations. The selections for meal times were good, transportation was as good as could be expected, and our guides were great! Kudos to Wolfgang, George and Raphael!!

Victoria Falls spectacular. Helicopter views awesome
Victoria Falls spectacular. Our trip to Zimbabwe was limited to Victoria Falls. An enjoyable stay with good eating options. River cruise was excellent.

Worth every penny. Kenya is beautiful, the animals, the people, the countryside...
I love Kenya, and will return taking more friends and family. I split my time 50% in Nairobi, 50% in the Masai Mara. As well as staying in the city, we visited David Sheldrick Center, Giraffe Sanctuary and Nairobi National Park (can all be done in one day with an early start) not a rush you will see adequate. Our itinerary for The Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru and Lake Naivasha was perfect. enough time everywhere. Things to know - make sure you have snacks/food with you on your drive to the Masai - it's hours, ask how long things will take (then add an hour) - just so you have an idea, and be aware your driver may be on the phone a lot. Take many things to give away, toys, clothes, sweets/candy, shoes, jackets - as much as you can carry - you will regret it if you don't.

UNFORGETTABLE!!
This trip delivered much more than I ever expected! We were a group of 21 nature journalists asking our guides/drivers to stop!, backup!, no..backup 2 feet!, whoops, make that 6 feet, now move forward, stop!. Just 10 more minutes so I can finish this sketch...no, I'm not done yet, You can't go I've still got to add color! I rode with each of our guides and all of them were so-o-o-o patient and accommodating and knowledgeable about the animals and terrain. Whenever we asked 'what's that?', they knew. I had a request to find a certain stork and on the last day in the Serengeti, Felix found him for me and patiently waited while I photographed and sketched him. Thank you, Felix! Hamadi and his crew were exceptional! I want to do this again!!!

Organized, Timely, Experienced, Kind, Knowledgeable
I just finished an 11 day tour of Kenya. I had an amazing experience. I had the pleasure of spending time with Sylvester, Joseph and Hassan.. Joseph was our guide within Nairobi. He is extremely kind, timely and knowledgeable. Sylvester did a fantastic job of organizing every detail of our trip. He was in Nairobi to great us and had lunch with us before we departed. I spent most of my time with Hassan. He was our guide. He is so knowledgeable about the parks and animals. Hassan is patient, kind and very accommodating. I can't say enough about Sylvester and his team. Can't wait to schedule my next trip with Seven By Far. Thank you Joseph, Sylvester and Hassan for the wonderful experience.
