Great experience with Amazing Memories Safaris
I started to plan the 10 days Kenya safari trip for our group of 16 friends and families more than a year ago. I started with my own itinerary and hotel choices and contacted different companies. Amazing Memories was the one I picked up from comparing prices, size of the company and reviews, etc. It was not the cheapest. Titus, the representative of the company made me felt comfortable to communicate. He responded to our questions fast and with patience to explain everything. We had 4 large Land Cruisers with 4 people in each car which made us more comfortable for long day safari and driving from one park to another. Our tour guide Gorge, Simon, Joseph and Robert did their best to find animals we loved to see and looking for Great migration. We saw almost all things we wanted to see except black rhinoceros. I was in the car with Simon. He constantly communicated with other drivers on walky-talkies and cell phone to search animals and usually found good spots to look at them. He also rescued another car from different company during safari in Maasai Mara. Gorge was knowledgeable and very caring. More than half of us had food poisoning from one of Sopa Lodge. He asked us if we needed go to hospital and after we said no, he divided our group into two parts. He drove sick persons to the next hotel and rest of the group continued their journey and safari. Robert has really good eyes to spot animals and our adult children were in the car with Joseph and they loved him. We are very satisfied with our trip with our four tour guides and Amazing Memories. Highly recommend them.

Amazing memories for life!
Titus and Raphael were both amazing from the start! The trip was very organized and left us carefree from the beginning. The itinerary was spot on to make sure we got the best experience as it was our first time in Africa and Kenya.
Raphael was an amazing tour guide and an ambassador to Kenya. He made sure that we saw all the beauty Kenya had to offer. Learned a lot about the history and the culture of Kenya and saw the amazing wildlife at Maasai Mara. We actually caught all of the big five and more!
Highly recommend the company and Raphael! Would definitely come and again!

A wonderful safari, professionally handled from start to finish
We had a wonderful 9-day safari with Amazing Memories Safaris and overall the experience was excellent. The itinerary was well organized, communication before and during the trip was smooth, and we felt very well taken care of throughout the journey.
Our guide Joseph was one of the highlights of the trip. He was professional, patient, knowledgeable and always attentive to our experience. From Amboseli to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara, he did his best to make sure we had a memorable safari, and we came home with many unforgettable memories.
There was one unfortunate incident during our final transfer in Nairobi, when a driver made an inappropriate and offensive joke that made us feel very uncomfortable. I raised the matter formally with Amazing Memories afterwards.
What I appreciated was the way the company handled the complaint. Management responded promptly, acknowledged clearly that the behavior was unacceptable, apologized sincerely, took concrete action, and reminded the wider driver team about professionalism, respect and the importance of making guests feel safe and comfortable. They did not try to dismiss the matter as simply a misunderstanding or harmless joke.
For me, how a company responds when something goes wrong is also an important reflection of its professionalism. Amazing Memories took responsibility and handled the matter seriously, which I respect.
The incident on the final day was disappointing, but it does not erase the excellent safari experience we had during the previous nine days or the great work of Joseph and the rest of the team.
Overall, I would still confidently recommend Amazing Memories Safaris to travelers looking for a well-organized, personal and memorable safari experience in Kenya.

Fantastic Kenya Safari, Great Support from Nevill & Joseph
We had a wonderful safari experience in Kenya. Everything was perfectly arranged by our contact Nevill. Before this trip, I felt really nervous and worried about safety in Kenya. But both Nevill and our driver‑guide Joseph made us feel safe and secure the entire time.
Joseph was extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient. He shared so much insight about local wildlife, and successfully helped us spot all the animals we hoped to see. Every game drive was fun and comfortable thanks to him. Travelling with friends, we created so many precious memories. This is truly an unforgettable African journey. Highly recommend!

friendly, warm‑hearted, enthusiastic and very hard‑working
We had an absolutely wonderful safari trip in Kenya.
Our two guides, Peter and Eliud, were fantastic throughout the whole journey.
They are incredibly knowledgeable about local wildlife, nature and culture, always sharing interesting facts patiently.
We were lucky enough to spot every single animal we hoped to see during our game drives.
Both guides are friendly, warm‑hearted, enthusiastic and very hard‑working.
They paid great attention to our needs and made every moment enjoyable.
This has been an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a Kenya safari

Amazing memories made with the help of an amazing team!
My husband and I booked this “bucket list” trip as an early 25th wedding anniversary (now we have to stay together 😉)/belated 50th birthday celebration.
With the help of the very patient, professional, and personable Brian, with whom I communicated via WhatsApp and email over a coupe of months, we were able to secure excellent places to stay in Nairobi (1 night), Masai Mara (3 nights) and Diani (3 nights).
Everything from the meet & greets to the food, the choice of accommodation, and the service was superb (and I am a bit of a perfectionist). The trip was reasonably priced and all-inclusive with full board accommodation and meals, multiple park entry, safari drives (including a scenic drive up to Masai Mara via the Great Rift Valley). It also covered flights from Mara to Diani and a luxury train ride back from Mombasa (Diani) to Nairobi! It was great not to have the headache of figuring out connections and transfers and tickets—and just enjoying the ride.
Our highlight of the trip was witnessing one of the greatest wonders of nature—the wildebeest crossing from Serengeti to Mara.
This was only possible thanks to our guide John, who was extremely knowledgeable and had a great knack for having us at the right place at the right time to see as many of the big five as possible…and more (cheetah, leopard, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebra, hyenas, wild dogs, ostriches, buffalo, wildebeest, hippos, and a variety of gazelles/antelopes and birds).
Early morning drives enabled us to experience the awakening savannah and splendid sunrises, which will remain embedded in our memories until we’re old and gray.
Thank you Brian, John, and the amazing people at Amazing Memories Safaris. We had an amazing time!

Perfect Safari
Morris and Francis made our Kenya safari unforgettable! Their sharp eyes spotted lions, leopards, and elephants with ease. They were patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about conservation. Every game drive was perfectly timed, and they went the extra mile for great photos. Safe, fun, and flawless – we couldn’t have asked for better guides. Thank you, Morris & Francis!

Unforgettable Family Safari
We highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris. My main contact in the office was Morris, who was very helpful. We had a fabulous guide named Douglas who stayed with us the entire time. Douglas was a fantastic guide, and days after he dropped us off my youngest daughter said she missed him. He answered all our silly questions about Kenya, and we felt he genuinely had our best interest at heart. We saw the Big 5 and have priceless safari memories because of him. Douglas made the trip.
The accommodations were all very nice, our favorite was the camp at the 1) Maisha Sweetwater Camp 2) Saruni Basecamp Mara, and 3) Flamingo Hill. The staff at all of the lodges were very friendly. It was nice to have buffet meals because it is easier for our kids to find something they liked. We all loved having a hot warm bottle placed in our beds at night. The Masai Mara Village visit was the most awkward part of our safari- the people were kind, and it was interesting to learn about their way of life however we felt uncomfortable the whole time.
