Well informed guide in a good mood!
The panoramic tour was well organized. The views of the canyon were breathtaking. Our guide led us to the viewpoints. We enjoyed it.
The whole tour was great!

A Lifetime Safari Experience
We had an incredible safari with Ernest and Innocent from Safari Soles. It was our first safari, so we didn’t really know what to expect. Not only were they expert guides, but they’re incredibly friendly, caring and enthusiastic humans. After the trip, it was quite clear your safari guide can dictate how good or bad your safari goes, and I can say ours was a 10/10. If I ever go back to Tanzania for a safari, my preference would be to go with Ernest or Innocent again.
They have a host of knowledge about the animals, environment and history of the national parks, which made the entire trip not only fun but super informative as well. As for logistics, the lodging across the board was incredible, and our guides made sure we never missed a beat. There will be early mornings (waking up at 5:30-6:00 to catch the early game drive), there will be long days on the road, and it’s in these moments that it’s even more important that you get along with your safari guide. Thanks Ernest & Innocent, for the trip of a lifetime!
Some tips: make sure you get snacks before your safari for the drives; be patient; tipping culture is widespread, be sure to tip the many individuals who help you along your journey; stay present and enjoy the scenery in front of you!

The most amazing experience of our lives! I cannot recommend Amazing Memories enough!
Honestly an amazing experience. Everyone at Amazing Memories was extremely helpful and professional. They helped us navigate flight cancellations and changes to our schedule and could not have made the experience any better.
Of course we could not leave a review without giving special shouts to our amazing guide Steve and Anne who helped make adjustments in real-time to our trip.
100% recommend for anyone considering a safari, we felt in very safe hands. Aware there are so many choices for operators but honestly I’d recommend choosing Amazing Memories, you won’t regret it.
And of course seeing the big 5 and so much more made it all the more special

Matthys van Aswegen has arranged three fabulous trips for me!!
I have just returned from my third visit to my favorite safari camps in Botswana. Each time I have taken a different friend with me. I always tell them that Matthys van Aswegen is a master at organizing my trips, but it's not until they actually go with me that they realize I am not exaggerating! Every detail is addressed and any special requests I may have are always achieved. The very best part of this trip was that I actually got to meet Matthys and his dear wife, Leri, while I was in Cape Town. I was so happy to finally have the chance to personally thank him for all he has done to provide me with the beauty and magic of Africa. I already have another trip planned for April, 2025, and perhaps even another in 2026. Thank you Discover Africa and Matthys!

Exceptional
Communication was clear concise n constant. Service was beyond our expectations by worth every penny. The tour company took care of us every step of the way. Our daily driver John was extremely accommodating and diligent about finding the BIG 5 for us. John made sure we were always taken care of and Caren checked on us daily. I would highly recommend this organization for a trip of a lifetime !!!

Explorer Kenya are a very competent, helpful team, and provided a great value experience for us.
Explorer Kenya and our guide provided us a fabulous safari. We dealt with the company direct, and their communications were prompt and helpful. The choice of itinerary was excellent, including both the Masai Mara and a couple of quieter reserves, providing good contrasts in environment and viewing experience. All the accommodations were great and provided good food and pictureseque settings.
Timan was a considerate driver and allowed us some flexibility, as we were on a private safari. He managed to deal with all the challenges of the tour in good humour. The trip was very good value for money.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Knowledgable guide for a wonderful tour
We had a wonderful 2 night, 3 day tour at the Masai Mara. We were picked up by our guide, Ben, in Nairobi for the round-trip safari. Ben was a good driver who stopped regularly for breaks along the way to stretch our legs. Once we arrived, we had lunch at the lodge and then went for an evening game drive. We were lucky to see the great migration, and saw many many wildebeest, zebras, and water buffalo. That evening we also saw a number of other animals including elephants and giraffes, but ended the night perfectly by watching three lions rest during sunset. The next day we had a full day tour in the park, we saw many other animals on our list, including leopard, cheetahs, more lions, hyenas, jackals, antelopes, topi, serval cats, and a large variety of birds. We ended this awesome day with two different groups of elephants. Ben is very knowledgeable and comfortable in the park, he answered all of our questions and pointed out animals and facts about them/the park. It is clear he is well liked by many in the park, and we can confirm that he is friendly and personable, he is also patient and made sure we got a great view, swooping in at the right moment to see the animals. Would highly recommend this experience!

Best safari ever, just book with Grace of Africa!!!
I’m a very difficult customer and I usually always find things to complain about, but this safari experience was the absolute best I have to say. The 2 owners were extremely nice and helpful (they even helped me with the engagement proposal to my wife:) )
Everything was just perfect to be honest: the room, amenities, safari, guides, food, location!
Don’t hesitate to book this safari, we’ve been absolutely delighted!!! Thanks Matt and Nicolette:)
