Amazing safari
James was the best driver imaginable. He always make sure we had a great time. He was very professional in his approach, an amazing animal spotter. Also great: The organization and the comfortable car. We are from Germany. We were thunderstruck about his almost perfectly German-speaking. It was not only a journey, it was a adventure of our lifetime.
We say to enchanting safaris and "Sunnyboy" James in heartfelt gratitude: Thank you very much for this time

Amazing experience
An amazing trip over the 4 days. Excellent guide in David with excellent accommodation across the few days. Only blemish being our airport hotel accommodation in Nairobi before setting out on safari - wasn't up to scratch but as far as the safari goes, could not have a single complaint.
Would definitely recommend Transtrek for anyone looking to book a safari.

A great experience
Our 3 day tour from Kigali to Lake Mutanda, gorilla tracking and back to Kigali was amazing!
The gorilla experience was fantastic, we really didn't expect to be able to be so close to them, the Mutanda Lake Resort was really good, we enjoyed every second of our stay there. The new managers of the place are very nice and helpful. And our driver Ronald was a great company, we enjoyed talking to him and felt safe and well taken care of all the time.
The email communication and assistance from the moment of sending my first query to the email detailing recommended packing list were of high quality, professional and always timely.
I highly recommend booking with Matoke.

Unforgettable experience to last a lifetime
Communication was excellent Mwajabu contacted straight away with any queries we had through what's app. She meet us on arrival so everything was smooth. Our driver Asman and guide Gilbert were extremely friendly and have plenty of knowledge about the animals
We managed to see every animal in Mikumi on our first day. On our second day we managed to get up close and personal with the lions, an experience I will never forget. Our Third day we went to see the massai tribe which was a wonderful experience. Camp Bastian was as good as any hotel I've ever stayed in if not better. We stayed in Duma Cottage which is quite large and luxurious. The food and staff are amazing. Mwajabu had also supplied snacks and water for during game. Overall a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Hello Tanzania.

Dedicated and personalized service and exceeding expectations
Our honeymoon through Kenya was full of exiting experiences and romantic places. From the outstanding wildlife in the Massai Mara with our friendly guide Kiema to the extreamely relaxing and welcomming surounding at Diani Beach. We also very much apriciated the preparation of our honeymoon. During a Skype conversation we explained what kind of feeling we would like to experience during our holliday and what we wanted to see. We did not know where to go, but Fika Safaris managed to give us everything we dreamed of! A very romantic honeymoon we wil never forget! And there is not a thing we would have changed. Thank you!

Our safari was the trip of a lifetime!
There are no words to describe how absolutely perfect our Amazing Memories safari was! If you are considering planning a trip to Kenya and/or Tanzania, don’t wait any longer and just go!
My husband and I weren’t sure exactly what we wanted from our trip in our first email to Anne, but she responded so quickly and was able to guide us through the planning process seamlessly. Her communications were clear, and she asked all of the right questions to plan the most incredible 12 days in Kenya and Tanzania for us. When we landed in Kenya, we felt as though we had a friend there already.
Anne was also proactive about changing one of our hotels (in Nairobi) because she had been tracking the reviews and saw that they weren’t great. She switched our hotel to the Sarova Panafric, which turned out to be an awesome place. Doing this proactively shows how much the Amazing Memories team truly wants you to have the perfect trip.
Our trip took us to Nairobi, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater, Amboseli, and ended with an all inclusive stay in Diani Beach. We even took an impromptu stop at Lake Navaisha for a boat trip to see hippos from the water. Each place was fantastic in its own unique way.
We would be remiss if we didn’t point out our guides, Daniel (in Kenya) and Charles (in Tanzania), who were pivotal in making our safari one to remember. With our trip spent mostly in Kenya, most of our time was with Daniel. He is a true professional and is passionate about the animals. It’s so refreshing to be around someone who loves his job as much as Daniel - the excitement is contagious. He is a wealth of knowledge, and we learned so much from him. Daniel is also friends with many of the other guides and talks to them over the radio to get you to the best animal sightings. On our very first day in the Masai Mara, we saw all of the Big 5... before lunch!
We saw so many animals - hundreds of elephants, giraffes, thousands of wildebeests and zebras, lions (including a sighting of 18 lionesses and cubs at once!), both black and white rhinos, cheetahs, hyenas, vultures, baboons, hundreds of hippos, tons of different kinds of birds, a tortoise, crocodiles, etc! We were even talking to a woman at breakfast who was in another tour group on her fourth safari, and she hadn’t ever seen a leopard on safari - we saw THREE during our trip with Amazing Memories!
I could go on and on about how breathtaking these two countries were and how awesome the people are with Amazing Memories and the camps that they partner with! Amazing Memories isn’t just a catchy name. It’s what you leave Africa with!

What an amazing adventure
Simon, John and CKC tours did an amazing job! We had a fantastic time. The Lions! The Elephants! Simon our tour guide and driver made sure that we got to see it all. He was extremely friendly and very knowledgable. John our tour operator was always there with a smile from the moment we arrived in Nairobi. It was really a great experience! Thank you!

Fabulous tour of primates in Uganda
I recently went on a week-long tour of Uganda primarily to see the monkeys and apes in that country. Everything worked out as expected, each hike was successful in finding the animals, the rangers were all familiar with their area and well-prepared to give information to tourists, and there was time after each hike to rest and relax. The driver/guide, Frank, was always on time, clearly knew his way around the country, was able to point out sights as we travelled, and at least once went out of his way to see a sight we would have missed otherwise. The accommodations were as expected or better at every stop. Even the weather co-operated - it was rainy season but it never rained during a hike.
It was a great trip and I'm so glad I went.
One recommendation: if you are interested in chimpanzees, be sure to book the five-hour habituation hike at Kibale which let's you see so much more of their life than the usual one-hour time allowed.
