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

Amazing service!
We had such a great time on our safari! Moses, our guide, was absolutely amazing — very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. He explained everything so clearly and made the whole experience fun and engaging. We truly enjoyed every moment and felt completely safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

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.

Titus’s knowledge, experience and good communication made for a memorable and safe safari trip!
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 😃

Brian made it his mission to make sure everything was catered for he was extremely efficient.
From the minute we arrived we met Brian and Peter everything was arranged perfectly! The tour itself was done with professionalism. Peter was extremely helpful and done his utmost to answer any questions we had he went out of his way to find the big cats for us to see and explain everything! Overall an excellent experience with amazing memories would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family!

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.

Trip of a lifetime!
It’s hard to even put into words how grateful we are and how truly amazing this trip was. My boyfriend and I did a 5 day safari, in Tsavo West and Amboseli, plus an add on of a morning game drive in Nairobi National Park. We stayed at Severin in Tsavo West and Sentrim in Amboseli. Our tour consultant was Morris and he was excellent. Great communication via WhatsApp and email and great planning throughout! We told him exactly what we wanted to do and he made it happen! Our driver guide for Nairobi National Park was John. He made sure we saw rhinos and boy did we see a lot of them! He also drove us around for a little city tour of Nairobi and it was lovely. For our 5 day safari, our driver guide was Eliud (Elliot). He was incredible!!!!!! He made sure we arrived safe to every location, kept us safe on safari, and was just really lovely to hang out with for 5 days. In Tsavo West, we had amazing scenery, cool giraffe and elephant encounters, and visited Mzima Springs to see hippos and crocodiles. At our lodge Severin, it was an open lodge with no fence, and there were zebras grazing 10 feet away from us during dinner! The lodge felt luxury with a nice pool, and was very calm and peaceful. Although Tsavo West lacks in wildlife encounters, it is way less busy than Amboseli and the lodge was an incredible experience. Next we went to Amboseli - where the magic happened! Our lodge was Sentrim, and while not as luxurious as Severin, it was a VIBE! Lots of people hanging out and drinking and loud music and a lot of fun. In Amboseli, we saw EVERYTHING. We saw cheetahs, lions (a male lion within 10 minutes of entering the park!), hippos, so many birds, different gazelles and impalas, huge herds of elephants, wildebeest, zebras, and Cape buffalo. We got so lucky with really clear views of Kilimanjaro on both our drives. But what made our safari truly unforgettable was Eliud. He was so knowledgeable, told us so many cool facts about Kenya as we were driving, knew everything about all of the wildlife, and had an answer for every question we asked. I cried multiple times today leaving Kenya because of how special this whole experience was. We miss you Eliud! Kenya will forever have a place in our hearts ❤️

A childhood dream come true
My wife and I respectively have wanted to visit Africa and go on safari since childhood. What a fantastic trip it turned out to be, exceeding our wildest expectations and dreams.
We would highly recommend booking your safari trip through “Amazing Memories Safaris” directly, especially if it is your first visit to Kenya. The booking experience was good and hassle free. There was complete clarity on the itinerary, cost and related information. Titus Kinyua was very prompt in responding to our questions and accommodating our requests. All our queries were satisfactorily answered in a timely manner.
The Amazing Memories team led by Titus was waiting to greet us as we emerged from the airport, which was very reassuring for us as first time visitors to Africa in general and Kenya in particular.
The familiarisation briefing we received from Titus before we began our trip was most helpful. The Amazing Memories team provided us with a more than adequate stock of drinking water bottles for the entire trip. We realised the importance of it later as drinking water at meal times in all resorts is chargeable and the water provided by the resorts in the rooms is not always adequate and is replenished only during room cleaning each day.
We had an exclusive safari vehicle and guide dedicated to us the entire trip. The vehicle was very clean and well maintained and it stayed that way the entire trip.
The rooms we stayed at were nice. Fig Tree (Masai Mara), Sopa (Lake Nakhuru) and Oltukai (Amboseli). Sopa was the best hands down, especially the views from our room, the dining area and the bar. Breathtakingly beautiful! The food at Sopa and Oltukai were good. The hospitality at all three places was very good.
We had the most awesome safari experiences at Masai Mara, Lake Nakhuru and Amboseli National Park. We have one person whom we cannot thank enough for making our entire trip so enjoyable and ensuring that we left Kenya with amazing memories for a lifetime! Our safari guide Joseph Mwaniki.
Joseph was extremely attuned to our every need and request the entire trip; from the time he picked us up at the airport till the time he dropped us back. His familiarity with the routes and safari trails ensured that our travel time was optimised and our safari experiences were elevated. He was very fluent in English and a treasure trove of information about Kenya in general and the national parks, flora and fauna in particular. He took great pains to ensure that we took in all the beautiful sights that each safari game drive had to offer. Thanks to his wealth of experience and tireless efforts, we had the opportunity time and again to witness some very rare sightings of animals in the wild in their own element.
We were travelling with our teenage daughter and were particularly touched by the fact that he made it a point during and after each safari game drive to inquire with her whether she was enjoying herself and the animal sightings. One particular instance readily comes to mind. We had only our mobile phones with us (no high end cameras) and were at one point struggling to capture a photo of a rhino in the distance at Lake Nakhuru. Joseph immediately pulled out a device and a pair of binoculars, which when affixed to the phone camera lens, enabled the camera to zoom in and capture very clear pictures. Our daughter could not stop taking pictures after that. It was an extremely thoughtful gesture on Joseph’s part and one that endeared him to us instantly.
Joseph’s soft spoken, polite and easy going nature put us at ease and made us feel very comfortable. He was extremely professional, very punctual and a thorough gentleman. He would always hold open the door of the safari vehicle for us and greet us warmly before and after each game drive. He had a boundless reserve of energy even after long drives between two resorts and wanted us to experience as many game drives as our enthusiasm and interests permitted. What we particularly appreciated about his approach, was that he would make suggestions and even recommendations but would leave the decision to us. We had complete freedom to plan our daily schedule and curate our safaris with informative insights and inputs from him.
We had such a wonderful trip, thanks in no small part to Joseph. He is an outstanding safari guide and a gem of a person!
Thank you very much Amazing Memories Safaris, Titus and Joseph for everything! You made our first safari to Africa a memory to cherish forever.

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!
