Great
In 2016 Sox was our guide for a private familiy tour (4 persons). At that time he was working for a different safari company. We travelled from the Victoria-falls through the Caprivi-strip to the Okavangodelta. From there we went to Makgadikgadi-Pans and to the Chobe National Park.
Sox cared very well about us during those two weeks. We felt save and comfortable all the time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We could learn a lot about the wildlife and his home country and we had a lot of fun with him, especially in the evening at the campfire. Thanks for a great time!

Hyrax Safari office was helpful and very responsive.
Our experience with Hyrax Safaris was AMAZING. We couldn't have imagined the variety of animals we were able to see in such a short period of time. Our guide Sammy was ALWAYS in the right place at the right time. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, their habitats and how they interacted with the environment and each other. The $$ paid for the 3 day safari was WELL WORTH THE IT !! The Hyrax Safari was an EXCELLENT VALUE !

Friendly, professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with.
We have 5* service from Heidi, who created a truly memorable holiday for us.
Heidi was always quick to respond to any enquiries we had and was fantastic in helping us as we had to postpone a couple of times from 2020 because of Covid. She listened to our requests and adapted the itinerary to create a wide-ranging itinerary that suited us.
We had an extremely smooth trip, being met as per the schedule at every location and we were able to relax and enjoy each moment.
The accommodation was really good and the whole trip good value for money.
We have already recommended Pembury and Heidi to friends and family.
Thank you, Heidi!

The best safari day we had!
Just a few days before our trip to Kruger we informed with Elephant Herd whether it was possible to do a private day tour. They still had a spot so we booked with them and it was a brilliant choice! Bhekifa was our guide who picked us up at the Skukuza Rest Camp and he knew the park like his pocket. He showed us the rhinos and many other animals. When we arrived at our coffee stop he heard there was a lioness near us and asked if we wanted to go for it or have the coffee first, of course we wanted the lion! It was like that all day, checking for options and talking with us about the animals and what we wanted to see. We really enjoyed our day with Bhekifa, he was a really nice and friendly guide with a lot of experience and knowledge. It helped us a lot through the rest of our safari.

Very friendly, well organized!
Booking via internet was so easy and smooth. I had a very welcoming and friendly contact via mail and later on by WhatsApp, what made it very easy to get connected.
I booked two tours with Golden Rwanda Safaris, both were touching (Genocide Memorial Tour) and magic (one day Akagera National Park Safari). Really nice tour guides who had time to answer all questions and were eager to find the best places and animals :-)
Thanks again so much! I really enjoyed the time with you and will take home so many good memories!

Amazing support from start to finish and an amazing 6 night / 7 day safari with my girlfriend!
From start to finish, everything was arranged perfectly! Victor really helped us out getting the perfect trip for us. Lenny the guide was really amazing with his passion for animals and photography!
We went from Nairobi to Amboseli (2 nights), then to Naivasha for a boat safari (1 night). Then we went for full day game drive to Nakuru (1 night), to see a lot of rhino's! After that we went to Masai mara for 2 nights.
When I was going to plan the trip, I contacted 5 or 6 safari companies with some of my wishes. I was planning to compare prices, but when I got in contact with Victor (compared to the other mails I received from other companies), I immediately knew, this guy is really going for the best experience for us. Money became less important.
Thanks again Victor and Lenny!

Top notch tour company with excellent communication!
Seven of us booked a two week safari with Safari Line Defender Tours. We started in Arusha and ended in Nairobi, visiting all the significant parks in northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. Our accommodations included a variety of tented camps and hotels. For the entire trip we were provided with sturdy Land Rovers and several guide-drivers, all of whom knew the best locations in each park for locating wildlife. By radio and phone the guides stayed in constant contact with the other guides in the parks so they knew immediately where to take us to see the most exciting sightings. This usually involved the big cats but also included the mass migration of wildebeest and other great wildlife scenes. Over the course of the two weeks there were really too many highlights to mention.
We spent a full year getting this trip organized and throughout that time I was in frequent email/WhatsApp contact with Rose Muthoni, the company co-founder. Her communication was always fast (within hours or less) and helpful. All details were easily attended to. Aside from wildlife viewing, the food was good and abundant throughout.
One detail to pay attention to when booking is to make certain that the maximum number of passengers in the Land Rover is seven and not eight so that every person gets a window seat.
From start to finish this safari was smooth sailing! I highly recommend this company for quality and competency.

Exceptional safari experience, surpassing all expectations
TLDR: you won’t be disappointed if you choose Amazing Memories, don’t forget to ask for Musa as your safari guide!!!
We spent a lot of time researching which safari operator to choose, and it wasn't easy to decide, especially being on the other side of the world and hearing about potential scams. In the end, we chose Amazing Memories, and it turned out to be the best decision.
Starting with the organization: we left things a bit last minute, finalizing everything just a few weeks before our trip. But Neville, our safari organizer, was incredibly responsive, informative, and quick to support. He suggested alternative hotel options when needed and was flexible when I wanted to adjust the itinerary to include different/additional stops. One thing I really appreciated was the 25% deposit requirement (compared to the 50-75% other operators often ask for), and we received clear invoices and payment confirmations, which gave us peace of mind.
When we arrived, Neville went the extra mile by personally meeting us at the hotel, along with our safari guide, Musa. Now, Musa—calling him the perfect guide would be an understatement. He did everything humanly possible to make sure we had a great time and experienced everything a safari in Kenya had to offer. With 20 years of experience, he was an expert at spotting rare animals and you could tell he was passionate about his job, which is always great to see. He was incredibly attentive, never forgetting any special requests, and even arranged extra activities for our final day when we had a late flight.
Musa, thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime. We feel so lucky to have had you as our guide, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
During our 5-day safari, we saw all the animals we had hoped for, leaving us more than satisfied. The accommodations were exactly as described, and kudos to Neville again for organizing everything so smoothly.
I highly recommend Amazing Memories for your safari adventure, and if you can, request Musa as your guide! If you have any questions or need more details, feel free to email me—I’m genuinely happy to recommend them!

Experienced tour operator, good guides, good accommodation.
A friend and I were on safari for 4 days. The guides were good to very good. They were very eager to show us many animals and explain a lot. The accommodation in the camp was very good. The cabins had everything you need and were very clean. Unfortunately, the pool was only half filled with unclean water. We didn't use it.
The price-performance ratio was right for me and we always felt safe in the camp thanks to the Maasai, even when one night the monkeys roared very loudly because a leopard was hunting.
We did the safari 3 times in the 4 days, the boat tour and the hike through the bush which was more of a 2 hour walk. But: we learned a lot about the Maasai.
The people at the reception were very friendly and helpful and in the restaurant and bar you immediately felt at home as everyone was so friendly. All in all a very good stay!
