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.

The safari of a lifetime!
Our guides were wonderfully patient and informed got us to where the action in the Park was taking place. Whether we were in pursuit of elephants, giraffe, the "Crossing" at The Mara River or even a live lion kill, we were exposed to more action than expected while on Safari. The African Adventure Specialists staff were very knowledgeable, patient and professional. I definitely plan to go back and take friends with. This was an awesome experience and this business helped make it happen! Thank you for showing us the true beauty of the Motherland!

Very good experience!!
I had only two days free at the end of a professional trip to Kenya, so I choosed the 2 days Safari to Massai Mara, and honestly, nothing to say, it was so good. Our driver was super, communication with the staff, perfect, service very good, and the price is very interesting. It was my first time in a Safari, obviously 2 days, it's short, but it was super, honestly, I recommend!!

Good quality safari that was well organized, and with pleasant people to deal with.
Gorilla Tours was super to deal with and they delivered a good quality safari. I had been to many African countries in the past, but this was my first trip to Uganda. Virgo at Gorilla Tours was prompt and described everything well. Everyone in our group of travelers really enjoyed how organized everything was, the quality and the descriptions provided all the information that we needed. Ronnie our driver/guide was excellent and went out of his way to make sure we had the best possible adventure. I highly recommend Gorilla Tours if you are seeking a good primate safari for both chimpanzees and gorillas.

Well organized safari tour on which we managed to see all major wildlife animals
Me and my wife selected KWSS for our 8 days safari in Kenya. Responses from Mr. Otieno were very prompt even on weekends, safari program was adjusted to our individual needs with really competitive price. Safari tour was well organized, our guide Marcus is very knowledgeable in wildlife and birds, thanks to him we saw all animals that we originally expected.
Selected budget accommodations were reasonably equipped with private facilities and clean, no complains. Food prepared by our chef Moses was tasty and with reasonable choice, enjoyed that. However, selected restaurant where we had a few lunches on the way from one national park to another (I think in town called Mai Mahiu) could improve food quality and choice.

Wonderful safari, including trekking gorgeous gorillas and chimps, with most amazing guide Eric.
Have never used Speke before, but definitely would holiday with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone else. We have travelled extensively in Africa, India and South &. Central America to see wildlife. This trip was up there with the very best especially as we had world-class guide Eric to ensure our experience. As vegans, Eric ensured that all our food was appropriate - and very tasty. Would highly recommend the accommodation - Buhoma Lodge at Bwindi, Kyaninga Lodge for the chimp trekking and Bakers Lodge at Murchison Falls. It is worth mentioning that Bakers Lodge is on the far side of the Nile to the Murchison Falls NP, so you are dependent on ferry crossings to get into the park which means you cannot stay in the park early evening.
A HUGE thank you to Eric of Speke, in particular, for making our holiday so special.

Very fantastic and great.
Okay my experience in dealing with Jadi Africa safari from the first to the last day was an amazing one.The team was just super fantastic at making sure my 7day tour was a great one.My tour guide Martin was extremely knowledgeable and enabled me to have wildlife experience beyond my dreams. I loved the wilderness camp as it made me feel closer to nature.Thank you so much for such amazing memories in only one week safari.And in that case I'll always recommend anyone who wants to book a safari to your company.

Great experience with good price
We had a great experience with Axis Africa Safaris from the day one when I contacted them from the other side of the world. Communication was fast and clear and once we arrived everything worked out as great as planned. There was no hassle with anything, car picked us up straight from the airport and took us to a 3-day group joining safari to Masai Mara and after the adventure they dropped us off at the doorstep of our hotel. And no money was needed in advance, we paid when we met up. Our driver Antony wasn't much of a talker but he sure knew how to drive! He seemed to give more than 100% so we could see as much different animals as possible. We were even lucky enough to see a leopard there! Which doesn't happen every day as I understood. Great experience, great people, great service, and all that with a very reasonable price! I recommend!

Best safari of my life
My family and I have travelled with african Adventure Specialists two times now. From the commutation on email while arranging the trip, the Airport pick up, hotel accommodation to the execution of the safari the travel advisor was awesome. Andrew met us up at the airport and while on safari he kept constant touch with the guide and made sure that we were comfortable everyday. Our guide made sure that we saw as much as we wanted to see on our african safari. We are traveling for another time this August in Kenya and Tanzania and definetely african Adventure Specialists is no doubt our travel planner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them 100% to any traveller intending to visit africa. Get in touch with Andrew
