Excellent Driver & Vehicle, Good Accommodation & Food
One word I can say is very good just what we wanted. Driver Abu is very knowledgeable, comfortable drive, very good accommodation, only complain first two days pack lunch at Arusha was sub standard. Little bit of lack of coordination airport pickup at Zanzibar.
Otherwise everything we(I, my wife and my son & daughter both are in 20's)are very please with Deo's service and I can recommend any of my friends & family if anybody wants to visit Serengeti.

Nothing to complain about it, the best guides
Very good, just answering my expectations.
Two very dedicated guides.
They took time to explain and lead us to all the animals. Also very good drivers.

Excellent safari tour
We went the first time safari ride so there was a lots of things to consider and taken care of at first. Maureen- the owner contacted us and gave us a detailed schedule as well as answered our questions patiently. Even the day we arrive Arusha, Maureen contacted the airline to ask if there would be any delays. The she met us before and after our safari rides to give us tips and bid goodbyt. Our driver Horace gave us the most memorable safari ride. He is very knowledgeable, responsible for the workwith best customer service, be on time always, focus on what he’s doing and explains things clearly. The seregeti np and ngorongoro crater exceeded our expectations, just wow. Our only regret was not able to see the migration and rhino, just because we chose to adventure 1 day in seregetti. The lodge was excellent with superb food, view, accommodation, friendly staff. We highly recommend to stay at hhando coffee lodge. To sum up, we will choose african savannah trekkers anytime coming back tanzania. Recommend unreserved to everyone.

A true fulfillment of all kind
No doubt, I would recommend this organization to anyone aiming to head to Uganda / central- east Africa. Our guide (Peter) was flexible, informative and helpful at any time and made our trip a total success, for sure. Accommodation as well as driving equipment seemed to be well selected and no complaints about safety occurred during our trip. THANK YOU

How can they find all those amazing animals?!
Best time ever sleeping in luxury tents in Serengeti and spotting wildlife all day with our guides Freddy and Hadji, who even managed to get us a few meters away from a female lion hunting for a zebra (next to the 25 other lions, chetahs, leopards, rino’s, and elephants we saw). Just amazing!

Unforgettable family vacation thanks to great care and quality of Afrishare
We were an US-Dutch group of nine visiting all for major parks in the Northern circuit. This turned out to be an unforgettable experience, thanks to our great guides, that went way beyond only spotting the big five (we saw them hunting, mating, sleeping in trees), fantastic accommodation and solid communication in preparation.

Amazing guidance to wildlife, carefully selected lodging and sound driving in very positive spirit!
Ibrahim’s response in preparation was very accurate and always timely. He offered a competitive offer with a great 6 day initerary, covering the parks in the north and very different yet always good standard lodging, varying from safari tents in Seregenti to wife views over the Karatu landscapes. We enjoyed this company as they know their profession and are passionate about it, and live up to every promise they make.

The operator arranged very excellent & guide/driver and we are satisfied with the services provided.
The operator arranged very good tented camps with good location and services in Kenya although our trip was last-min booking and some tents were changed. In addition, our guide/drivers in both Kenya and Tanzania are all pretty good with over 10 years of working experience as a tour guide. We look forward to getting back to Africa again in near future and highly recommend this tour company. It's better to book your safari trip as early as possible so that you can secure the tented-camps you like the most.

Great team that will do their best to make your safari amazing!
If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate, go ahead and book with Amazing Memories. The team did, in fact, help us make some amazing memories.
Throughout booking I dealt with one person, Anne. She answered any and all questions I had and didn’t make me feel like I was asking too many questions (most of my questions were through email, but they can also communicate through WhatsApp (like free text messaging)).
They look to have set safari packages, but I wrote to Anne with particular path and lodges in mind. Anne assisted in making sure we got what we wanted. You can definitely tailor your trip to the things/places you want to stay, do, and see. That being said, two or three of my picks were full (my fault for booking so late), but she suggested other options that ended up being good.
We paid 30% down when booking and paid the rest upon arrival. You can pay by wire transfer, credit card, or cash. Cash was impossible for the down payment because I was in another country. So, I wired money through my bank (no fee on their part, but my bank had a small fee, which was still better than the credit card fee). Credit card came with a 4% transaction fee.
Because of other reviews, I requested Daniel. I’m am a fledgling photographer and I had noticed that another review had mentioned he loved taking photos, which he did and even gave me tips on how to get better photos. He would try to get us in the best possible positions for some fantastic photos - and he was successful many times!
Daniel was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. At the time of this writing, he told us he had 10 years experience being a safari guide and it really showed because he could tell us about each and every animal we saw and gave facts with what we were seeing. He knew many of the other safari guides and could communicate through radio and just by stopping when they saw each other - this is very important because the parks are so big and unless someone tells you that they just saw XXX animal over by XXX area, we wouldn’t have encountered as much as we actually saw.
Traveling with Daniel felt like you were traveling with a friend. He was very friendly and would welcome any and all questions about Kenya, animals, the different tribe culture, and even about himself. I felt like he looked out for us and felt very safe and taken care of with him. And lastly, his communication skills are great. He would tell us the itinerary was, the time we were going to go here or there, the time he was going to pick us up....and he would repeat it at another time to be sure we were on the same page. Before we visited a village or went into a shop he would let us know what to expect, which was so invaluable. He was great with time management and we were able to see everything we wanted to see and do what we wanted to do.
Our trip was made to go to: Masai Mara, Samburu, Aberdare, Lake Nukuru, Nairobi - I won’t talk about specifics of the places since this review is about the company. I’ll just say that, those are the places I planned out with Anne and since some of the drives between these areas were quite long, Daniel planned, on his own, some things to stop at to break up the drive for us - it was much appreciated because we wouldn’t have known it was something we could have done/fit in to the drive.
We had 9 days with Daniel and we feel confident in our opinion about him. Without a doubt, I would request him when I am back in Kenya and would be super disappointed if he wasn’t available. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.
Some tips: It is dusty! On game drives, the roof is up and windows open so that when you see an animal you can quickly capture the shot. Most of the roads are not paved and when other trucks/vans pass by a whole cloud of dust accompanies them. Bring sunglasses to protect your eyes from dust & I found it helpful to have a handkerchief to cover my mouth. We also brought some wet wipes to use before lunch.
Morning game drives can be chilly, but the afternoons can get a little warm - dress in layers.
