It was very good experience. The moment we notified our plan, they come up with good customized plan
Communication was good,
After notifying requirement with tentative plan, quickly got details for 4 days tour plan with clear details which given confidence to us to move forward with this tour of great Serengeti National park visit. The Vehicle and Driver are professional to suit to the tour plan. The Tented camp arranged inside Serengeti park was superb which given real feeling to stay close to environment and very natural way of feeling inside the forest. All in all tour ended safely with great feeling of completing Serengeti and Ngorongoro tour.

Helpfull and friendly
We booked our safari with Home to Africa Tours and Safari and Elias. Elias was the master planner and did an excellent job in planning, changing and rearranging our trip to give us the best safari and fulfill our wishes. Elias kept contact with us either in person or via our guide through out our vacation making sure we were satisfied. Our vacation in Uganda is one of our best vacations ever.

A truly amazing trip, with no issues just greatness!
Back in January this year our family started planning its biggest (and most costly) trip ever. A safari in Africa has been a dream of mine and we wanted to do it the right way, especially since travelling with our two daughters, aged 8 and 9. We found SafariBookings and contacted few companies, explaining our needs and requirements. Simon from Mwema Africa Safaris was one of them and was really responsive and helpful and we decided to work with them. From the beginning of the planning until the end of the trip, Simon was highly helpful, respective of our needs, questions and fears, and always returned our emails or whatapps messages very swiftly and kindly. He found the right Camps and flights, within budgets and needs, organized our stay there and gave very detailed descriptions and itineraries for our 5 days in Kenya.
At our arrival at Nairobi airport, James from Mwema was waiting for us and gave us information while driving us to our hotel and was there on time the morning after to drive us to the airport for our safari trip. Everything went exactly as planned in Amboseli and Maasai Mara National Parks (so beautiful and beyond any expectations - we even saw all Big 5's in the Maasai Mara) and we were greeted by him again at the end of our trip and driven to the Nairobi airport for our flight back.
I can only strongly recommend Simon and Mwema Africa Safaris for a personalized trip, organized based on your needs and budget. Our family had the time of their life and the fact that we didn't have to care about details, only enjoy our stay, and were in total confidence with the planning made it even more memorable.
Thank you Simon and your team for making this dream a reality with lasting memories!

Great Safari
Elias was our guide for 4 days and we couldn't have asked for a more patient, friendly, knowledgable person. He definitely made the experience complete for all of us. We were comfortable, didn't feel rushed and appreciated that Elias really took the time to get to know each of us and learn about what we all really wanted to get out of the safari. Thank you!!

Amazing experience
The Safari tour was very well organized, the company delivered everything that was promised. We were a group of 9 in two vehicles. Both drivers were very well spoken , they were communicating between themselves all the time ,so we had the chance to see the Big 5 . Accommodation was very good, especially Sopa Lodge . This was once in a life time experience and we were happy to be a part of it. The only set back was that vehicles were quite old ,but luckily we did not have any problems.

Thanks to Francis, our super chauffeur and Gorillas Tours for bringing us to this wonderful country, Uganda, with the perfect climate under the equator, thanks to its altitude.
Beautiful landscapes, abundant wildlife that looks to pass with a curiosity as great as ours.
The population is very friendly, security is everywhere, the use of the English language is recommended

Had quiet great experience with Bush Baby Calls.
The service was good we had a great experience at Okavango Delta and Moremi, especially the trip to the Delta was more marvelous the Moroko Experience with the polars. The team was friendly and helpful,and their Chef Kilos was the Legend.
The best
I have traveled severally, using different agents, but I have never been handled this professionally with every detail taken care of and the hospitality was out of this world too. I honestly recommend these guys for your travel logistics.

Amazing experience, Indeed!
Right from day 1, back in January, when we started getting quotes from various tour operators, Anne was very professional. This being our first trip to Kenya, she was responsive to loads of curious questions that I had and she patiently answered them. While we were negotiating for the best price (? ) , she impressed me with the approach and I decided to go with Amazing Memories Safari though I had lesser price from others. I truly appreciate her efforts in organizing a fantastic trip. She and her team were kind enough to pick us up from the airport, in spite of a delayed arrival late in the evening the last week of June.
Since we had kids traveling with us, I had requested an itinerary that was spread over 8 days/7 nights. This ensured that we wouldn’t have to deal with rushing from one park to another and avoid long journeys. We visited Samburu, Sweetwaters, Lake Nakuru & finally the ultimate Mara triangle. The rooms were carefully chosen to accommodate the 4 of us including extra bed. The beauty of all these stays was that the tents/room were right in the middle of the park that gave us the advantage to (i) spot animals closeby & (ii) saved time to start our game drives at convenience. Separate request was made for vegetarian food. This was taken care of to the minute detail and we felt at home, with Indian Cuisine at every restaurant we visited and for every meal.
Special word of mention to our guide & new friend Daniel. He was very friendly, soft spoken and quickly adapted to our expectations. He was very experienced in spotting animals & feathered species alike. One of the biggest advantage was the operators being connected via radio to pass on message of games being spotted. This helped us to get to the location quickly and enjoy the moment. On one occasion, Daniel drove almost 70km past the Mara bridge to spot a Cheetah, which was on top of my list, resting behind a bush. He was persistent in his quest to spot the cat despite his peers advising him against. A similar incident while spotting a leopard, that helped us complete viewing the Big Five in first 2 days. Being an avid naturalist, he provided information on all animals based on different locations across Kenya.
I strongly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris to anyone looking for a good tour operator in the Kenya region. The staff is very thorough in their job, professional in handling their commitments and will go the extra mile to bring cheers to their customers. In my case, the kids were ecstatic on their surprise dream vacation. My family and I felt confident we were in safe hands. Please feel free to email me for any specific questions/information on our experience.
