A few safari days that will last long and alive in our memory !
We were a couple for a 4 day safari, from Nairobi to Amboseli, Tsavo West and East Parks. Every day, until the very last morning before going back to Nairobi, brought us its amount of new emotions and thrills. Joseph, our driver, was fantastic : he always tried to meet our expectations and he knew so well the environment that he surprised us several times a wonderful way !
The 3 nights were reserved in very good locations, the first one facing the Kilimandjaro was even just a dream come true !
Just perfect !

I can Say They are One of the Best and Most Friendly Team!!!
My wife and I organised an African safari with African Adventure Specialists last year in August. We were overwhelmed by the service given to us which was beyond our expectations. The choice of accommodation provided was the best and never knew such hotels and lodges exist in Africa. The safari jeep was well maintained and almost new. Our driver was very kind and spotted for us almost every animal we wanted to see. There is no doubt that African Adventure team lead by Andrew are the best travel planners for any Adventure for an African safari. I recommend them 100%

2 and a half day safari to Masai Mara
Had such an amazing time with KWSS. Everything that was explained in the itinerary was performed to a T, the hotel/camp accommodations, food and service was amazing, the safari itself was out of this world (saw all of the big 5 and many more) and most importantly my driver and tour guide for the trip Anthony was so awesome! He is the best tour guide I have ever had, always made sure I was comfortable and happy, went out of his way to do this multiple times, was great to chat with on the long drive and was extremely professional and I always felt like I was in GREAT hands. I would use this company again in a heartbeat, especially if I was guaranteed Anthony again as a guide because he was so great and I also consider him my friend after this trip. Thanks for everything KWSS for the utmost professionalism in communication and for this amazing tour! You had quite the employee in Anthony!!

Kilimanjaro: Barafu made it happen for us
My daughter and I did the Lemosho Route with Barafu in February, 2018. This was our first experience with a multiple day trek, and neither of us had very much time to do physical training in advance, so we just figured we would see how far we could go. Barafu was recommended to us by a Peace Corps volunteer we knew. The Barafu team knew what we needed and gently and skillfully and playfully guided us and took care of us every step of the way. Chance was our main contact and he was extremely responsive and accommodating during the planning process and he handled all logistics including transport from the airport, hotel issues, and pulling together a last minute day trip. Our guides, Mohammed and Diglan, were experienced, informative, encouraging, and fun. The food and the service was excellent. The team morale was very positive from start to finish. Along the way, these guys completely won our trust relative to feedback and decisions that optimized our experience and ensured our health and safety. This allowed us to summit on the 6th day, a day earlier than we had planned, and we spent most of our time just enjoying the experience. The whole thing was a complete delight and Barafu was a fantastic partner to have in this endeavor.

A trip to wildlife
I was to safari in February. I took a tour at "Face of Africa" (Lake Manyara, Serengetti, Ngorongoro). Everything was excellent: amazing wildlife, tasty food, camp with toilet and shower (even hot water sometimes), tons of stars in the sky! Camping at Lake Manyara was with beds and private shower. Other camps were with tent and sleeping bags. Sleeping bags was new and comfy, but if there were pillows and sheets that was amazing. The weather is quite freezy in the nights and in the early morning, so it's better to take sweater. The guide named Zebra was so responsive. He made stops to see animals and answer you questions if you ask him. Everything is so organised! Hamadi took us from airport and get us back. Also he helped us to find a bank to change money, and to find a café to have dinner in Arusha.

Trip of a Lifetime
We found Nick to be the ultimate tour guide. He was kind, considerate, and very helpful. His knowledge of Africa, the wildlife, and terrain was amazing. It was like taking a college course in African studies. We would have missed so much if it weren't for Nick and his expertise in pointing out things we could have easily overlooked. This trip far surpassed our expectations and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for adventure (in a protected environment).

We'll be back for more!
We went on a tour of South Africa for two weeks with our guide Federica from Shikwaru Adventures after a friend recommended her to us. She adapted and tailored the tour and the visits according to what we wanted to see. We went for a whole tour of South Africa, beginning in Johannesburg where we saw the Mandela Museum, Mandela's house, a youth Center, all while learning about the history of the city and the country. After that things kept interesting as we took the road towards the private game reserves and Kruger National Park. The trip went on through Swaziland and St Lucia and we finished in Cape Town after a short flight.
Federica knows really a great deal about the country, the animals, the people and was able to answer 99% of the questions that went through our mind during the trip. It was a really great experience, we managed to see almost all of the big five during the two weeks, but we'll be back to catch the evasive Leopard! If you want a tour where you can take your time, where you're not in a packed bus stacked with 30 people where everything is calculated to the minute then you can stop searching.

Amazing Memories Safaris treated me very well!
I chose Amazing Memories Safaris for my second trip to Kenya. Planning began with Anne in mid-2017 less than a year after I returned from my first Kenya safari which had been arranged with another tour operator. Anne was very helpful and responsive in the planning process and by August I had a contract in hand and had paid a deposit for a safari scheduled for this month, Feb. 2018.
Unfortunately, I encountered serious health complications in the fall of 2017 and eventually had to cancel this trip. I let Anne know of this possibility in Dec. but by this time payments had been made for lodging in Samburu and at Offbeat Mara plus a flight from Nairobi to the Mara. But Anne was able to get a refund from Offbeat Mara, so both are to be commended for their wonderful customer service.
Even though I was unable to make this trip, my financial losses were greatly reduced by the above mentioned refund and redeposit of my airline miles and a refund of airline fees paid to United. I expect an additional small refund from my trip insurance claim.
