Beyond expectations
Our bush camp (Deteema) was spectacular! Staff, camp, game drives...impeccable.
Aside from most activity pick ups running on “African time” all were amazing! At any time during our trip planning we had questions all were attended to promptly

Everything went like said and they answered quickly to all the questions.
It was worthwhile to see the countryside in addition to Golden Moneys. Driver was great because he spoke good English and could tell about the society and things which interested me.

Outstanding safari
My family and I visited Nothern parks and conservation areas of Tanzania - Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi.
I have done several safaris before with different operators to different locations, but it was first wildlife safari for my husband and daughter, so I was choosing the safari company extremely carefully this time, – I needed their first experience to be unmatched!
We are really lucky that we have been recommended by a friend to contact Hassan from Nurtured Wildlife. From the first communication I felt total involvement of Hassan into planning our tour. I appreciated such a personal approach, as if he was preparing an itinerary for his own family member or a close friend.
Lodges chosen were of a quite high standard (great food, comfy beds, hot shower, swimming pools), – although we had certain limitations of a budget.
Driver guide's service was highly professional. 4x4 safari vehicle was in a great condition, we have noticed that the car is regularly serviced and very well taken care of.
I was amazed by a highly professional and warm approach – and I Do have something to compare with, after experiencing several safaris in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa.
We highly recommend contacting Nurtured Wildlife if you dream of a memorable holiday in a world of the African wilderness!
Cheers,

Exceptional 17 Day ‘Bucket List’ trip
Every aspect of this holiday was exceptional. Justus worked closely with me and my friends (we were a group of 4 women) to create the itinerary and select the right experience. He was knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. The references from other happy clients were impeccable. Our driver/guide Charles was excellent. We travelled from Kigali to Uganda and visited Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi (did two incredible gorilla treks - not to be missed!), Queen Elizabeth part, Kibale (for the chimp trek) and Murchison Falls. Charles was an amazing safari guide and we saw two (yes two!) leopards, lions, elephants, giraffe, etc in the national parks. Our accommodations were amazing and lots of variety - lodges, tented camp (Ishasha) and unique cottages/chalets (Agandi, Papaya Lake). Justus also included several boating and cultural excursions so we really felt like we got to know Uganda. Uganda is very safe, beautiful geography and the people are very friendly. I’d highly recommend Uganda as a holiday destination and Gorilla Bookings as the tour company. We loved every moment.

They were very reliable and organized.
Our driver, Santos, was very reliable and took very good care of us to make sure we had a safe and relaxing vacation. Everything ran quite smoothly once we arrived in Arusha (our bus from Nairobi to Arusha was 2-3 hours late). The driver could have been a bit more enthusiastic and informative during the safari tours, but overall, I have no complaints.

Very reliable, wonderful safari, but jeep is better than van
I booked a safari six months before the starting date. The company is very reliable and I have always received an answer very quickly! Also the conditions and the payment via link were without any problems. The communication was excellent through all the 6 months and also the safari was amazing and the driver caring. Only the van was not really comfortable. The windows were quite small and there was almost no space for my legs. I would recommend a jeep!
Regarding the lodges: Since the daily safaris takes a whole day, there is almost no possibility to use the swimming pool (the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge closes the pool iat 6 pm), and also the gift shop was closed then. So I wonder if it is worth to pay a higher price for a comfort lodge when there is no time to use all the facilities and services anyway.

Incredible 12 days in a wild and beautiful country
The communication with Best Memory Safaris was very easy. Isaac replied promptly via WhatsApp and implemented all are wishes on the inquiry. He was able to set up a wonderful 12-days safari in 7 different national parks even though we requested it only one week prior to arrival and secured the booking only one day before departure! Besides, he did not ask for a deposit. In Kenia, we were picked up from the airport without any incidents and where introduced to Anthony, our experienced and German-speaking driver during the following 12 days. He made all our safari dreams come true - and more. He was always eager to give us the best experience, let us see incredible scenary and all kinds of animals we could not even think of before. He was flexible enough to incorporate our own plans and - above all - was very punctual! So thank you, Best Memory Safaris, to standing true to your name and allowing us to make all kinds of best memories!!

Responsible and professional
The agency is very professional and willing to satisfy the client’s requests.
The tour guide Filbert went the extra mile several times to ensure we were having the best experience and was very knowledgeable on fauna and flora.
Overall the experience was very professional and well planned except for one detail while booking the entrance to the Serengeti that made us loose almost half a day of the overall tour, that could have been resolved if the booking was done by head office instead of the tour guide on field. In any case, the tour guide helped adjusting the tour to ensure that we get the best experience posible and trying to recover the lost time.
