A Dream come True!!
After reading other reviews online I decided to approach Anne from Amazing Memories Safaris for an itinerary and quote which she provided very promptly. She was terrific at answering my many questions and made the whole process through to our arrival very easy. We (my Daughter and I)were collected from the International airport in Nairobi very early on the morning of our arrival and were greeted by Joseph who was to be our driver/guide for the duration of our stay. He proved to be friendly and helpful and super knowledgable of the area and the animals we were to begin seeing shortly after.
Our accommodation at the three different parks, Tsavo East - Tsavo West and Amboseli was amazing. Better than we had even hoped for. Joseph took us for morning and evening drives and we were stunned by his vast knowledge and interesting stories. He was just brilliant to spend time with.
He delivered us to our accommodation at the end of our journey in Mombassa.
We will definitely be returning, hopefully hubby can join me next time.

Truly amazing safari
My family and I just came back from a great 5 days safari experience with Amazing Memories Safaris (AMS) in Masai Mara.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and brought back to the same hotel exactly as planned.
The AMS staff was very service minded, and they even made a stop on the way back to Nairobi allowing us to shop in a nice shopping center.
The accomodation was very comfortable and the food delicious.
During the game drives we saw more wild animals than we had ever expected including the "big five".
The driver had great skills in tracing the animals, and the first 3 days we saw a leopard every day, both in trees and on the ground.
We highly recommend others to take advantage of AMS' expertice and good service when planning their next (or first) safari.

Amazing honeymoon
The entire booking processes with Anne was super easy, she responded quickly and took care of any questions or concerns I had. Our itinerary was customized perfectly to fit our needs and preferences. I’m so happy I was able to work with this company it truly felt like working with a close friend or relative. It was also our first visit to Africa so the bar has been set extremely high after working with this company and receiving top of the line service!!
Our Tour guide Joseph.... wow....he was truly a pleasure. He mad our trip comfortable fun and personable. He is so amazing and super knowledgeable. We will honesty come back just to hang with him again. He went above and beyond to hunt down the big 5 which we were very lucky to see!!! I don’t have enough kind words to say about him but I truly appreciate him he was amazing. I recommend you request him if you want the experience of a lifetime!!!
Our accommodations were amazing. Literally every single place we stayed. I couldn’t believe how beautiful the properties were and how great the food was and how friendly the staff were. It was truly a dream.
Thank you Anne and Joseph for helping us experience our dream honeymoon, until we meet again!!

Reliable and trust worthy travel partners.
While deciding the package and the places of stay, Anne helped us through the entire process. She was very prompt and detailed in her response which helped us communicate in a better way. We had taken a flying package to Naboisho conservancy and the price quote for the entire package seemed better than the price quote of other travel/tour operators. From the time we landed in Nairobi till we got back to the airport after 6 days, we had a hassle free and a good experience. Everything was well organised and we had a smooth running. We stayed at Eagle View camp in Naboisho conservancy, which is built on the top of a hill overlooking the grasslands. It offers a great view and the service at the camp was amazing. I would highly recommend staying at this camp. Even the food was good at all times. The safaris were also very good and we had great sightings of the big cats and other animals and birds.
Overally, Amazing Memories Safaris planned and executed the tour really well and we are back home satisfied, carrying an experience of a life time.

What a way to spend your 50th Birthday! - A fabulous safari experience in Tanzania with friends
We have just come back from a wonderful 12 day safari in Tanzania booked via Amazing Memories Safari's.
It was absolutely fabulous. We went for my husband's 50th Birthday with two great friends of ours (Karl and Jill) and I'm going to be honest it was mainly Karl we have to thank for most of the organisation. We came back from another trip and he produced a proposed itinerary and we said 'perfect! book it' so we did.
All the communication we had with Anne before the trip was really good. Emails were answered very promptly along with any queries that we had – about visa’s, tipping, change of itinerary etc – she was great ensuring that all our concerns were sorted and answered.
We sorted out our own flights so the 'safari' started when we were picked up in Arusha by our guide, Santos, who looked after us throughout our 12 days. We travelled to many destinations over the 12 days - Ngorongoro, Serengeti North, Serengeti Central, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha staying is some really wonderful lodges (Serena and Sopa groups).
Ngorongoro Serena Lodge – wonderful accommodation. Bedrooms with the double doors and a patio over looking the Ngorongoro Crater – absolutely wonderful. An elephant came on to camp and we spent a few hours observing him going about his day – just fabulous!
We booked an ‘extra’! Sundowners on the crater rim on the eve of my husband’s 50th Birthday – in the photos it looks very serene, calm and peaceful with cocktails etc. In reality for us it was windy and freezing but still with the most spectacular views – that’s was you get for being born at the end of May! We had a great little team who served us warm canapes and chilled (extra chilled as it was so cold!) gin and tonics whilst the sun went down. Just fabulous! We had the best time wrapped in our Masai blankets

A wonderful 2nd safari with Amazing Memories Safaris.
I have written an article called "Return to East Africa" about my experience with Safari Bookings and Amazing Memories Safaris that appears in the print and online versions of the American publication, International Travel News. Here is the link to it https://www.intltravelnews.com/2019/return-east-africa .

It really was an Amazing memory
Thank you for a great safari and a great time together with Steve, our driver. We have been very happy with everything, from the first contact everything has been done very professionally and everything has been as agreed. Even when I misunderstood a detail regarding airport transfers AMS fixed it and gave it to us complementary. We are very impressed with the service and will recommend you to anyone. Steve was a great guide and would spot all the animals and tells us all about them. He is also great company and we have truly enjoyed our time together. Thanks to all of you from the whole family, we will be back.

An incredible safari, they live up to their name! Amazing !!
My husband and I were on a 5 day private safari in Amboseli and Masai Mara. Prior to reaching out to Amazing Memories we already read so many incredible thing about them on TripAdvisor. Anne was incredible to communicate with, we changed our dates and general plans a few times before finalizing the trip. We spent 2 days in Amboseli with Daniel( we read a lot about him here and how amazing his photography skills are and he truly is such a talent you will want to follow him on social media). We loved it!! In Masai Mara we spent 3 days with Daniel who met us at the Keekorok Airport. He was amazing!! We saw the Big 5 and learned so much from both of our drivers. I cannot say enough good things about them! Our accommodation was great, Kibo was really nice and Sarova Mara was incredible. Overall we were incredibly fascinated with the Masai Mara and cannot wait to go back there one day. We will for sure be reaching out to Amazing memories safaris again! Thank you to the whole team for making this an unforgettable 5th wedding anniversary. At Kibo they surprised us by throwing us a mini party with cake and incredible songs! We will never forget that and it was all thanks to Amazing memories and their team!

Perfect Honeymoon! (7 day Safari)
The Airport reception was great, we had trouble with our luggage with Precision Air (DON'T FLY WITH THEM!) but Amazing Memories did everything to solved our problem and we got our bags back.
My correspondence with Anne was always very professional and helpful, I received several quotes but Anne's work was the best by far, as well as her recommendations. We worked out a perfect itinerary with great hotels. Loved all my hotels but FS Serengeti was out of this world.(Maramboi, Manyara, FS Serengeti and Neptune).
I would definitely recommend choosing Amazing Memories. I have already recommended them to all of my friends and family.
Thank you!
