Amazing safari with Amazing Memories
Our family of 4 is recently back from an amazing 11 night safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Amazing Memories. Almost a year before our trip I began emailing safari companies for quotes and Anne was always quick to respond to my seemingly millions of questions. I had a very clear idea of where I wanted to go, stay and do and Anne was very accommodating at making that happen. Also, her quote was very attractive compared to some other companies. Anne was extremely helpful in the planning stages and always took the time to answer all of my questions.
Upon arrival in Kenya we were warmly greeted by Anne, Joseph and our guide/driver Daniel. After a quick nights sleep we were off on our adventure. Our trip of a lifetime included 2 nights at Kibo safari Camp in Amboseli, 1 night at Meru View Lodge in Arusha national park, 2 nights at Maramboi tented camp in Tarangire, 3 nights at KubuKubu tented camp in Serengeti, 2 nights at Rhino lodge in Ngoronogo National park, and 1 night a Rift photographic Lodge in Lake Manyara. Our guide/drivers Daniel and then Donald, were professional, friendly and always working to ensure we were happy. We were very happy with both Daniel and Donald. There were one or 2 small mix ups while on safari but Anne was always just a quick phone call away working hard to make everything right. We were very pleased we chose Amazing Memories for our safari company and would not hesitate to refer them. I realize the process of choosing a safari company can be exhausting, and I can say that you should choose Amazing Memories and be confident you will be getting the best price and the best service. Additionally, everything about our safari was fabulous from the animals we saw (everything and so close and so often) to the accommodations which in most cases exceeded my expectations. Book your safari with Amazing Memories...you will be so happy you did!

Recommend Guide but the vehicle condition is not good enough
Overall, the experience was okay, but this was entirely thanks to our excellent guide, Peter. If you book with Amazing Memories, be sure to request Peter in advance. He has been a guide for 18 years and knows everything about Nakuru and Maasai Mara National Park. He managed to show us leopards twice and cheetahs twice! Peter was incredibly patient, kind, always punctual, and reliable. It’s fair to say that he made our safari truly unforgettable.
The pre-trip communication with Nevill was also very good—he carefully adjusted the itinerary based on our needs and provided a reasonable quote accordingly.
However, it’s important to point out some issues. The transport team from Amazing Memories did not properly check the vehicle condition before our departure. Our vehicle broke down right after we set off, and we had to stop for repairs twice on the way to Nakuru. As a result, we missed the evening safari on the first day. Also, due to the vehicle change, we had to switch guides, which caused further delays—meaning we also missed the early-morning safari. Although this was how we ended up with Peter, the vehicle issues still caused a lot of wasted time, and for that reason, I can’t fully recommend the company in this regard.
Additionally, compared to other safari vehicles we saw during the trip, both our initial and replacement vehicles from Amazing Memories were noticeably older and more worn out. If you do choose Amazing Memories, make sure to confirm the condition and age of the vehicle beforehand—and don’t forget to ask for Peter as your guide.

Jambo!
My trip was filled with meeting beautiful people, seeing all the incredible animals with experienced guides (James, David & Moses) and the balloon ride was incredible experience not to be missed.
Traveling as a single woman on this trip, Titus my tour operator was always quick to respond to all my questions and offered helpful planning suggestions along with keeping in constant contact with me throughout my trip.
I will cherish this trip with all the “amazing memories” for a lifetime. Your company name is a true aptronym!!! Asante sanaa 😃

Smooth sailing. Especially thanks to James!
Couldn’t have asked anymore of James. Did everything we asked with a smile. Was very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and goes the extra mile if we needed. James was a pleasure to deal with and we’re lucky to have had him on the trip.

WOW! just WOW!
Bucket list item that really lived up to all our hopes. Travelled for my husband's special birthday and it was so memorable. Amazing Memories Safaris were attentive and professional from our initial booking through to our departure home. Brian answered all my queries very quickly and the whole itinerary happened without any hitches. James, our safari guide is a lovely man, professional, efficient and so knowledgeable about Kenya, the particular areas we visited and all the animals and birds we saw, and we were so lucky to see everything we could have hoped to see. He was also respectful of the parks and wildlife and didn't drive aggressively as some operators appeared to do, he seemed to use his intuition and knowledge of the animals to get us into the perfect position to photograph at every point. Each camp we stayed in was different from the last but we loved them all and it would be difficult to pick a favourite. Thank you Amazing Memories for a wonderful experience xx

Exceptional safari experience, surpassing all expectations
TLDR: you won’t be disappointed if you choose Amazing Memories, don’t forget to ask for Musa as your safari guide!!!
We spent a lot of time researching which safari operator to choose, and it wasn't easy to decide, especially being on the other side of the world and hearing about potential scams. In the end, we chose Amazing Memories, and it turned out to be the best decision.
Starting with the organization: we left things a bit last minute, finalizing everything just a few weeks before our trip. But Neville, our safari organizer, was incredibly responsive, informative, and quick to support. He suggested alternative hotel options when needed and was flexible when I wanted to adjust the itinerary to include different/additional stops. One thing I really appreciated was the 25% deposit requirement (compared to the 50-75% other operators often ask for), and we received clear invoices and payment confirmations, which gave us peace of mind.
When we arrived, Neville went the extra mile by personally meeting us at the hotel, along with our safari guide, Musa. Now, Musa—calling him the perfect guide would be an understatement. He did everything humanly possible to make sure we had a great time and experienced everything a safari in Kenya had to offer. With 20 years of experience, he was an expert at spotting rare animals and you could tell he was passionate about his job, which is always great to see. He was incredibly attentive, never forgetting any special requests, and even arranged extra activities for our final day when we had a late flight.
Musa, thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime. We feel so lucky to have had you as our guide, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
During our 5-day safari, we saw all the animals we had hoped for, leaving us more than satisfied. The accommodations were exactly as described, and kudos to Neville again for organizing everything so smoothly.
I highly recommend Amazing Memories for your safari adventure, and if you can, request Musa as your guide! If you have any questions or need more details, feel free to email me—I’m genuinely happy to recommend them!
