My Amazing Trip to Maasai Mara with Amazing Memories Safaris
Last year, I went on an 8-day safari in Kenya with my 14-year-old son, who was visiting the country for the first time. After identifying three tour operators and corresponding with them, we chose Amazing Memories Safaris. Our itinerary was: Samburu-the Aberdares (The Ark)-Nakuru-Maasai Mara. The company owner and director, Joseph, was very helpful in answering all our questions and, unlike the other operators that we contacted, he was most willing to organize the trip in accordance with our wishes. When the day of the safari came, we were met by Anne one of the Consultants who welcomed us officially for the safari. She was very welcoming and professional, which reassured us even more! Our accommodation – was very good: the rooms were spacious and clean, the food was fresh and delicious, and staff made us feel very much at home. The tour guide/driver, Joseph, with whom we spent most of the time, was always punctual, professional and helpful. He is a good storyteller and shared his deep knowledge of the wildlife, geography and people of the areas that we visited, and answered our many questions patiently. We saw the "big five" and many other creatures great and small. And in the parks, he did not always follow the well-trodden path, so we often spotted an animal or situation that everyone was hoping for. Joseph would then radio the information to his fellow tour guides/drivers to share it with the other tourists. We are thankful to Amazing Memories Safaris for enabling us to experience a most amazing safari! For my son, it was a life-changing introduction to the wild: from being extremely scared as we walked to our cottage from our lodge's dining area on our first evening in Samburu, to struggling to get back to his routine several weeks after the safari – because of all the wonderful memories! We are pleased to recommend this company to anyone wanting to go on a meaningful safari in Kenya.
Linda.
