An amazing tour operator, which will certainly take you beyond your expectations!
I can easily say now that we were pretty lucky, we have chosen Best Memory Safaris for our 16 days safari tour! it was a once in a lifetime vacation with such great experience and a fantastic adventure! We travelled along with my parents and they were simply blown away and their dreams came true. Although I must confess that I was a bit nervous at the very beginning as this was my first travel and dealing with tour operator from totally different country remotely, which has an address on P. O. Box, hence everything points to a scam... However, it cannot be far away from the truth!! Since the very beginning, communication with an owner Isaac was such a pleasure, he is soo nice, helpful, understanding, flexible, open for individual wishes and greeted us personally at Nairobi airport. We met our amazing and experienced guide afterwards - Shem. We were picked up at the airport and the journey begun. His feeling to find a perfect spots is admirable and thanks to his sense, we were able to sport BIG 5 and many many more. Elephant clans, cheetahs and leopards from few meters in Masai Mara were stunning!! Shem knows everything about animals and he was willing to answer every single question we had about animals, landscape, people in Kenya, etc. (we had a lot of questions indeed :)) We spent 13 days and I have nothing to say, but praises. We were dropped at coast for last 3 days, from where we were picked up at our very last day and transferred into Mombasa airport. All lodges and hotels were amazing just like the whole tour. Like an oasis in the middle of nowhere with sooo friendly and nice staff, food was amazing. In short, I'm really not able to say anything negative, even minor stuff... everything ideal and I can only recommend this company and Shem as a tour guide! Although, we were told by Shem that all guides working in Best Memory Safaris are just like amazing. Isaac has only real deal guides :). It was our first time, but definitely not a last time! Once again many thanks to Isaac and Shem for such an amazing lifetime experience and folks - what are you waiting for? Book your trip!!

Amazing experiences in beautiful Kenya
We have taken many trips around the world mostly using travel agencies. However, we decided to try and hire someone locally this time around which was daunting and a bit scary. After much research online, we narrowed down our options to a handful of companies and finally decided on "Best Memory Safaris' mainly because of high reviews at first and later because it was so easy to tailor the trip to our needs and wants, the highly rated accommodations and the excellent customer service we received from Issac. I am so glad we made this choice!
From our pickup at the airport at 5:00AM on day #1 to our drop off after 12 days of safaris went without a hitch and was probably one of the best trip we have made. The experience was above and beyond what we expected. The accommodations were beautiful, clean, safe and we were always met with friendly staff and the food was amazing.
One of the best parts of the trip was our guide Michael without whom I am not sure we would have seen the wildlife we saw and experienced numerous awe inspiring moments almost every single day. We never once felt rushed or unsafe during the trip. Michael was an excellent safe driver which we were thankful for after seeing some drivers racing by us!! He knew the ins and outs of all the six parks we visited and has excellent knowledge of the wildlife.
We experienced amazing moments such as a pride of lionesses with their cubs lazing around, two lionesses sleeping while the cubs played in a nearby bush, three male Lions probably guarding their pride, a mating couple just next to our jeep etc etc. We even experienced a Lion guarding his overnight hunt which was a buffalo and a wildebeest!! It was amazing to see herds of beautiful elephant families passing right by us, behind our accommodations (with electric fences) etc etc almost daily. We saw two types of rhinoceros with their families, different types of giraffes, buffalos, hippos, antelopes, flamingos, pelicans and other birds, we saw one beautiful cheetah walking in the savannah, but the most amazing of all was when we saw a cheetah kill towards the end of our trip. We saw it lay eyes on its prey a poor dik-dik, lay in wait for it, capture it and enjoy its meal!! Michael somehow hear about this cheetah sighting and got us there in time to see it all!! Asantae Sana Michael.
Almost forgot the beautiful people of Kenya we met along the way including the two Maasai bomas. Unforgettable trip!

Really Best Memories
Our experience was truly Best Memories!
Isaac (the owner of the agency) organized 8 days of safari according to our needs. We needed to start the tour from Nairobi and end it directly in Watamu where we spent another week.
Isaac was one of the few who, adding a visit to Tsavo East to the program, took us directly to the sea without internal flights (generally safaris start and end in Nairobi).
We saw many beautiful parks (Masai Maara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East) and thanks to our excellent guide Patrick we managed to see all the animals!
The accommodations chosen were very nice, especially the tented camps.
We must give special thanks to our guide/driver Patrick who contributed, with his experience and professionalism, to making this experience unforgettable!
A tip: choose the sole tour in a Land Cruiser; the small extra charge is well worth it!
Isaac has always been available and quick in requests for information both in the organization phase and when we were in Kenya.
I highly recommend Best Memories Safari

A dream come true (Safari in Kenya)
We have booked our honeymoon with Best Memory Safaris. The trip was excellent. It last 14 days including 8 days of safari, 5 days at the beach and 1 day for arrival and departure.
planning and booking
Our contact person for the organization and booking of the tour was Isaac Musyoki. We were requesting for our safari offer very late, only 3 weeks before the 1st game drive started. Despite this fact, in consultation with Isaac we have created a customized journey in less than one week of time. The booking process is characterized by a high level of flexibility. Even special wishes like meeting up with my wifes godchild would have been possible.
arrival
After our arrival at the airport in Nairobi, Kenya Isaac and Bernard Ngei, our game driver, picked us up directly to start the safari tours. The warm welcome immediately made us feel that we are in good hands. After Isaac left us in the city of Nairobi, we went on our tour together with Bernard.
game drives
Our ranger Bernard first took us to the national parks Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West before he drove us to Diani Beach. We have spent the whole 8 days of safari together with him and enjoyed every second of it. Together we drove approx. 2000 km through the country and its national parks. Usually we did two game drives a day. One in the early morning, starting between 6 am and 7 am., and one in the afternoon.
Due to the fact, that a safari trip probably stands and falls with the guide, we would like to share some of our impressions of Bernard:
a) He is very friendly, attentive and always cares about his guests, which means he is asking if a toilet stop is necessary or if there is still enough drinking water in the car to give a few examples.
b) He shapes the game drives flexible (i.e. weather-dependent) and is very regardful about his passengers. Whenever we needed a rest, i.e. after a long trip, he adjusted the time for the upcoming game drive.
c) He respects the habits and habitats of the animals. He knows how to provide an excellent view to the animals and the scenery for taking very nice pictures without disturbing the animals.
d) He is extremely experienced (> 25 years of safari tours) and therefore gained so much knowledge about his home country Kenya and its animals.
e) Moreover he understands and predicts the behavior of the animals. That’s why he is always one step ahead of many other game drivers to get the best views to the animals for his passengers. He acts absolutely far-seeing.
f) He does not overload the passengers with too much information about the animals. He doses information the right way and is also a good listener when talking with each other.
g) He is cross-linked to so many people across Kenya. It is unbelievable. It seems like he is knowing every person in Kenya.
h) He is multilingual. He speaks Swahili and the other languages spoken in Kenya (native languages). Furthermore he speaks excellent English (2nd native language) and also German. Probably he is even speaking more languages that we did not find out.
i) He knows the limits of his land cruiser (recommended) and the conditions of the roads. That’s why we always felt very safe.
j) He helps in every situation and clarifies that vegetables are washed with drinking water in the accommodations we have been.
Bernard Ngei made our honeymoon very special. Every second with him was so much fun. We really enjoyed our community.
accommodations
We have stayed in high standard tent camps and lodges, that were very clean, provided a wide range of meals and had a very friendly and helpful staff.
departure
A business-partner of Best Memory Safaris brought us from our hotel in Diani Beach to the airport of Mombasa, from where we flew home with all these beautiful memories in our bag.
conclusion
If you are planning to do a safari tour, book with Best Memory Safaris. The name says it all. They get a five star rating from us.

Great customer care and professionalism
We had a two weeks safari tour through 5 different parks, north west to south east of Kenya. All different, all great places. Wonderful accommodation and care for details. We had the same driver for the whole journey, very professional but also empathetic and engaged. We had a close look to all the big five, he knew what to look for and when.
Good comfort on the Rover.
The we finished the holiday with a week in a village south of Mombasa, relaxing and decompressing from the tour.
All in all great value for money.

Company offered excellent tour in Maasai Mara game park ,the best I have ever had.
The Company have excellent communication and commendable services overall. The services were beyond my expectations. We disembarked from South Coast in a comfortable tour car which was well driven to Maasai Mara. The tour guide would inquire and help me along the way which seemed to be like the routine. During my tour I had big time in experiencing close range with all the wildlife and most important the big five. The planning of the tour was well coordinated with no delays and hiccups during and after. I have had previous tours but this left me planning for the next bookings with them.

In a word fantastic
Myself and 5 other's took a 10 day Safari with Best memory Safaris. I and my friends had been on many Safaris before, but could not get over the price provided and the camps which where excellent. In a heart beat I would recommend Isaac the company owner, and Mike the tour guide.
We saw all there was to see and much more. Not to choose best memory Safaris would be a big mistake.

Great tour operator. Exceeded my expectations!
I had a good communication with the manager, Isaac and a great time with our driver and guide, Anthony! The experience was great and the company is professional.

Amazing Tour Operator
I organised an 8 day safari through Best Memory Safaris visiting Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara.
I had approached four companies through safaribookings.com that offered similar Safaris but I wished to visit the Parks in reverse order.
Best Memory were by far the most responsive and attentive to my requests.
They answered all of my queries concisely and amended the Safari to suit our needs.
Isaac also came and met with us prior to the Safari which was great.
The actual Safari was amazing. Our driver Shem had 23 years experience in Safari driving. He was super knowledgeable as well as being courteous and a safe driver.
The accommodation was also great.
I would highly recommend Best Memory Safaris to anyone wanting to arrange a Safari in Kenya. They are super professional and excellent quality.

Excellent experience, can’t imagine better value for money
Highly recommend best memories Safaris for a customized and personalized experience.
Best memories did a fantastic job from start to finish, they picked us up at 1 AM in the morning from Nairobi airport and dropped us back to the airport at the end of our trip in Mombasa. Our driver was Anthony and he did a phenomenal job, extremely knowledgeable of the terrain, areas and wildlife, When you spend up to 12 hours a day in a vehicle with someone you don’t know could be uncomfortable but Anthony has a great personality and we quickly felt very comfortable with him.
We did an eight day Safari, one day in Lake in Nakuru, 4 days In Masa Mara Then Amboseli followed by Tsavo East. Followed by four days at the Diani beach near Mombasa.
I will be honest with you, I was very skeptical of dealing with an small local business that has a PO Box for its address and requires payment by wire transfer. Everything above was setting off red flags that I could be being scammed, but it couldn’t be further from the truth, Isaac was fantastic dealing with the many changes I made to the itinerary in the months leading up To our arrival.
We are planning to use best memories safaris on our return in January 2024, you are not going to find a better value for your money anywhere else.
