A long journey but Amazing Memories made things easy
I started planning this big family trip nearly a year ago, and from day one, Nevill, our tour consultant, was incredibly supportive, responsive, and professional. My emails were typically answered within hours, and he always provided detailed information and thoughtful recommendations. Among the many safari companies I contacted, Nevill and Amazing Memories stood out immediately, not only because of their excellent communication, but also because of their transparent pricing and detailed cost breakdowns.
A few months before our departure, I needed to adjust part of our itinerary. Nevill was exceptionally kind and helpful in assisting me with rearranging our schedule and securing our lodge reservations, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Throughout our safari, he also checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything was going smoothly, which we greatly appreciated.
Many thanks also go to our outstanding tour guides, Peter in Kenya and Godlisten in Tanzania. They transported us safely between destinations and, most importantly, worked tirelessly to help us find all the wildlife we had hoped to see in every national park we visited. Communication with both of them was always easy, and we truly appreciated their patience, flexibility, and willingness to accommodate our requests in various situations.
I would highly recommend Amazing Memories to anyone planning a safari in Kenya or Tanzania. If you have the opportunity to work with Nevill during the planning process, and are fortunate enough to have Peter as your guide in Kenya and Godlisten in Tanzania, you can expect an unforgettable safari experience and memories that will last a lifetime.

Unforgettable Safari with an Exceptional Team — Titus and Moses Made It Perfect
We just returned from an incredible 10-day safari with Amazing Memories Safaris, and the entire experience — from planning to wildlife sightings — exceeded our expectations.
Planning with Titus
From the very first email, Titus was patient and responsive. We asked countless detailed questions over months of planning, and he answered every single one thoroughly and promptly. Our group of four included two senior parents and two birthdays falling during the trip, and Titus arranged everything beautifully — special dinners, cakes, and thoughtful touches on both birthday dates. All hotels were exactly as confirmed in our contract, with no last-minute changes. When our luggage didn't make our connection in Cairo, Titus personally followed up and made sure our bags reached us in Nairobi safely. His support throughout was reassuring and genuinely caring.
Our guide Moses
Moses was truly the heart of this trip. With over 20 years of safari experience, his expertise was immediately evident, but what really set him apart was his attitude. He was warm, patient, and especially kind to my elderly parents — he and my father bonded instantly despite the language barrier. My dad took so many photos of Moses that he made one his profile picture! Moses brought incredible positive energy every single day.
What I'll remember most is Moses's deep respect for wildlife. He never chased animals or jostled aggressively for "the perfect shot." Instead, he found positions that gave us amazing photos without disturbing the animals' movement, and he was always considerate not to block other vehicles. He shared sighting information generously with other guides throughout the trip — a true professional who clearly still loves what he does after two decades.
Thanks to Moses, we saw the Big Five AND the Ugly Five — our WhatsApp group is called "Too Much Lions" for good reason! He patiently taught us so much about animal behavior and ecology along the way.
We covered Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli — each location offered completely different landscapes and wildlife. We loved the contrast between luxury tented camps and lodges. Masai Mara and Amboseli were our favorites — we saw Mount Kilimanjaro on clear mornings and captured unforgettable shots of elephants framed against the mountain.
This trip was a powerful reminder that "life is a wilderness" — and Africa is a place where animals and humans can still coexist. We hope the story of the Mara's five-brother lion coalition continues for generations. Thank you to Amazing Memories, Titus, and Moses for making this trip everything we hoped for and more. We will absolutely be back to this magical land.
Highly recommend!

Incredible Safari Experience
We had an amazing safari trip, and everything turned out beautifully. The itinerary was rich, the animal viewings were spectacular.
Our guide John is professional at spotting wildlife, and thanks to his sharp eyes, we didn't miss any of the highlights. John is genuinely nice and considerate of our needs—he was responsive to every request we had. Despite the long driving hours each day, he remained energetic, cheerful, and always had a warm smile on his face.
Titus was efficient and patient during the planning process. He tailored the itinerary and locked in all our preferred lodges.

It's a Real Amazing Memories!
Our trip was absolutely magical!
A huge thank you to Morris for his patient communication and prompt responses throughout the planning process, which made our itinerary so well-organized and comfortable. We also want to express our deepest gratitude to our guide Joseph — he seemed to know everything there is to know about the savanna, and he led us to see all of the Big Five!
It's a Real Amazing Memories!

Truly amazing memories
We saw so many different kinds of animals in six days. James arranged everything very well and we truly enjoyed his jokes everyday :) Hopefully we can be back to Kenya and see more huntings and killings in the future.

Kenya 8-Day Safari Experience with Amazing Memories
Experience: Overall very enjoyable. Wildlife sightings depend on luck — we saw many interesting animal moments and finally witnessed the Great Rift Valley and Mount Kilimanjaro with our own eyes. Bargaining with the Maasai at the local market was fun, and we truly felt the vibrant energy of Africa.
Souvenir tip: There are Maasai women selling handicrafts at the entrance gate of the Maasai Mara Reserve — this is by far the cheapest place for souvenirs along our entire route. Bargain boldly and have fun with it!
Tipping: Minimum USD 10 per person per day for the guide.
Duration: 8 days
Atmosphere & Group Size: Good atmosphere throughout. We were 4 people in one safari vehicle — just the right size, not cramped at all.
Staff:
· Morris (pre‑trip coordination): Responsive, accommodating, delivered on our requests (including a complimentary sundowner). The whole booking process went very smoothly.
· John (our safari guide): Kind, down‑to‑earth, with a good sense of humour. He even learned some animal names in Chinese for us. When we mentioned we wanted to see meerkats, he made it happen. He also gave us plenty of time for souvenir shopping without rushing us — overall a fantastic companion for the journey.
Best for: Friends, couples, and families — this trip works well for all.
Final thought: Go with an open mind and enjoy the search and discovery in the wild. It will stay with you for a long time. Absolutely worth it.

Professional Guide & Perfect Execution
Our safari with Amazing memories was outstanding. Our guide, John, was incredibly professional – he knew the terrain and animal behaviour inside out, and more importantly, he remembered every little request we made, from preferred drive times to specific animals we wanted to track.
The itinerary was well-paced and logical, maximising our time in the parks without feeling rushed. The agency also secured our preferred lodges without any hassle, which made the whole experience seamless.
Overall, a smooth, enjoyable trip from start to finish. Highly recommended!

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.
