Professional and Thoughtful Service – Highly Recommended!
Our safari trip was unforgettable, thanks to the amazing team behind it. We had a private guide, Boni, who was always punctual, patient, and extremely responsible. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and gave us detailed explanations about the animals and the environment. You could truly feel his passion and professionalism.
Fiona, the tour company manager, was also exceptional. She responded quickly to all our messages and solved problems efficiently. We had a few last-minute changes to our itinerary, but everything was handled smoothly and without stress.
Although we weren’t lucky enough to see the full Big Five, the experience was still magical. Sometimes it’s the little bit of “imperfection” that gives you a reason to come back – and we definitely will. Thank you for a wonderful journey, and we look forward to our next adventure with you!

Reliable service, personal approach, strongly recommended.
We went to Amboseli NP on a private tour (3 persons). Everything worked as agreed during the reservation. Not only we got an evening game drive on day 1 and a full-day game drive on day 2, we also got a morning game drive on day 3 (something many other tour operators apparently do not do). We liked this a lot since day 3 was the only day we could get pictures of elephants with Kilimanjaro in the background. Our guide Ken (Kennedy) worked hard to make our trip a memorable experience. He was willing to modify the tour schedule according to our requests (even though we stuck to the original plan at the end). We appreciated things like Ken waiting for us while we visited a Maasai village and driving us to our hotel at the end of the trip through a thick traffic in Nairobi. We worked with Silas (who runs the company) during the reservation/planning process. We had a lot of questions and he answered all of them promptly. He also checked several accommodation options for us to find a best available match. We stayed in Amboseli Sopa Lodge, a very nice place with great food. Just a bit further away from the park, but we knew this when booking. We paid a deposit upfront and the rest upon pickup as agreed. A great experience overall! An advice to future travellers: book your accommodation inside the park for a quicker access to morning game drives. For example , I would recommend Ol Tukai Lodge that we visited personally.

Perfect experience
After doing lot of research and enquiry I had decided to go with Jocky for our budget 6 day safari. They provided best rate among 5 other operators I had contacted.
The experience had been perfect. Props to our tour guide cum driver. He was very experienced and didn't leave any stone untouched to give us perfect African safari experience. We were lucky to see almost all big animals up close except Leopard.
I'd definitely recommend Jocky for your tour.

Exceeded expectations and made an unforgettable trip!
I cannot recommend Gatsio Safariz enough! I did the 3-day Murchison Falls tour and it was an experience of a lifetime. From the beginning, Benjamin was incredibly communicative and helpful in making sure the trip was well tailored to our budget and interests. Throughout the safari, Benjamin and our guide/driver Alex were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we made the most out of the trip. The accommodations were nice and the vehicle was clean, comfortable, and even equipped with a cooler for drinks and outlets to charge phones. Between the hike to Murchison Falls, game drives, a boat tour, the rhino sanctuary, and an additional chimpanzee trek, the days were packed with excitement and exceeded expectations! By the end of the trip, Alex and Benji felt more like old friends than tour operators and guides. I cannot thank them enough for an incredible experience! Please consider Gatsio Safariz for all of your East Africa safari needs!

An experience of lifetime
The safari trip to Kenya was quite a last minute call. We only had around 3 and a half week to plan and find the right supplier for the trip. And yet we found a perfect one. Just within 36 hours after our email calling for quotation, the Amazing memories offered us a detailed, completely personalized itinerary based on our request. It included the whole trip plan and the accommodation info. And our contact Nevill responded every email of our inquiries very efficiently and patiently. It’s our first time ever to Kenya and we got so many questions and concerns yet Nevill managed to solve them and gradually shaped our trip to its final version.
Upon arrival, Dorcas was meeting me and my friend at the airport. However, my friend and I arrived in separate flight and due to the delay, Dorcas waited with me for my friend for over 2 hours and kept me companied. She was such a nice person to talk to and made the waiting so much more enjoyable.
Our trip lasted for 9 days and covered Amboseli, Lake Naivasha & Nakuru, Hell’s gate and eventually Maasai Mara. It was well planned and perfectly carried out by our guide Ian. He’s such a passionate and experienced guy and we’ve had so much fun with him. Not only did he kept the trip interesting with all the information and stories about the local life and wild lives, he’s also extremely good at finding all those creatures and introducing them for us. It just feels so nice to be with such a knowledgable guide from whom you can get every answer to your question. Ian is also an excellent driver. He can be very fast and very smooth. Riding along with Ian on a Land Cruiser is very exciting.
9 days passed too fast and I think I can’t wait to bring my friends and families here for another safari trip. Many thanks to the Amazing Memories Team. Looking forward to the next amazing experience with you all.

Spectacular!!!
We visited Tarangire national park, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, lake Manyara and then finished off our stay in Zanzibar. Tanzania is beautiful and the people are wonderful, friendly and helpful.
My husband is 70 and I’m mid 60’s. We felt safe at all times and had the best experience. If you are thinking about a safari we would wholeheartedly recommend Tanzania. I can’t imagine anywhere else could compete with it for wildlife, scenery, culture and people.

excellent
we had a great experience with Serengeti Smile.
Booking agent - Jonyo - We highly recommend him. He booked all our stays and planned out the entire trip. Everything went great.
Guide/driver - Lucas - He was excellent. Saw all big fives. Had 4x4 land cruiser with two rows(not the one with three rows) which was way more comfortable and roomy than the regular land cruisers that has three rows. Lucas is very knowledgeable and patient. We were a family of four and kids of 9 and 13 years of age. Lucas took appropriate time to stop, describe animals and take pictures.
We witness the migration and were staying at different hotels every night. I think it was worth spending night at different places since central, western and northern Serengeti have different ecosystem. We had enough time for shopping and also visit Hindu temple(BAPS) in Arusha.
Overall we were very happy and satisfied with our trip.
Hotels that we stayed at - Maliaka camp, Kirawira Serena camp, Serena lodge in central Serengeti, Mt Meru hotel and Farm of dreams.
All are good hotels.
Thanks.
