An Unforgettable, Awe-inspiring, “Amazing” 5 day Masai Mara + Amboseli Safari
Our 5 day Amboseli + Masai Mara safari with Amazing Memories Safari was nothing short of what its company name suggests. We organized our trip with agent Brian, who was thorough, honest and timely in all his responses. He was very patient with us throughout planning, taking account of our timeline and preferences. The tone was set for an incredible experience before even arriving in Kenya. We felt very comfortable greeting Brian and his team at our hotel in Nairobi on Day 1, and we were even gifted a souvenir before we started the safari.
We were paired with our driver Joseph for the first part of our journey from Nairobi to Amboseli. Joseph was phenomenal - an excellent driver and knowledgeable guide. There were several instances where he positioned our jeep at just the right angle so that we could have the best views of wildlife. He was patient when we wanted to stay at certain locations. He always listened to the radio to make sure we were able to get to the best viewings.
Amboseli itself was a treasure - witnessing large elephant herds traverse the landscape was awe-inspiring. Lodging at Sentrim Amboseli Lodge was amazing. All meals were prepared well. Our final experiences in the park was at the airstrip, where we embarked on a 1 hour morning flight to the Mara. The flight was equally impressive - flying over seemingly endless Kenyan savannah and landscape was beautiful.
The second leg of our journey was in the Masai Mara with our driver Robert, who was just as amazing as Joseph. We were able to see multiple lions, cheetahs, and leopards, amongst all the other beautiful animals in the Mara. Robert was extremely diligent on the radio and phone to ensure we had the best opportunities to see wildlife.
Our trip was capped off in the final hours by witnessing hundreds, possibly thousands, of wildebeests cross Sand River from Kenya to Tazania as they continued their migratory cycle. As we had come to expect from Amazing Memories Safari, our jeep was positioned in just the right location to see the fabled river crossing. Driving back to our lodging Sentrim Mara Lodge, which was just as great as our lodging in Amboseli, Robert surprised us with an impromptu sundowner.
All in all, we could go on at great lengths about the praise and positive feedback we can give this experience and Amazing Memories Safari as a company. We simply could not imagine a more authentic and genuine safari experience from beginning to end, especially at this price point. We’ve attached a few pictures from our trip, but know they are simply that - Highlights. The memories we’ve made soaking in Kenya’s greatest gems in the Masai Mara and Amboseli simply cannot be expressed in a few paragraph review. You need to live it yourself - and we could not envision a more ideal experience than we had with Amazing Memories Safari, agent Brian, driver Joseph and driver Robert.

An unforgettable private safari in Tanzania
We spent four fantastic days in Tanzania thanks to Joagro Safari, our guide Peter, and every moment of the private safari was unforgettable! His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the parks, combined with his great attention to our needs, made the experience safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.
Peter is always available and attentive to every detail, from the routes through the parks to choosing the best spots to photograph the wildlife. We felt completely at ease and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. His professionalism, passion, and friendliness make the experience truly unique.

Amazing Safari! 100% Fantastic
We booked a 6-day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti in Northern Tanzania, and it was an incredible experience. Amos, the director of Migration Venture Africa, gave us the freedom to customize the tour according to our needs and budget. We spent one night at the Better Inn in Moshi, Ngorongoro Inn in Karatu, and Serengeti Wildebeest Camp in Serengeti, all of which were amazing accommodations. They were clean, provided excellent meals, and had comfortable rooms that we enjoyed sleeping in. The safari took us through forests, savanna grasslands, and bush, including rivers, lakes, and marshes, but it was the wildlife that made it all so fascinating. We had an amazing guide, Temba, who was the reason we had so much fun on this trip. He turned it into an incredible adventure, knowing all the routes and places that were likely to be teeming with wildlife, plus he had excellent eyesight. He was the one who spotted the animals most of the time. We are in total awe of our guide and the experience was simply amazing.

Outstanding Safari Experience
We had an unforgettable 4-day safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. From the very beginning, the office was extremely responsive and attentive, making the organization smooth and stress-free. Our guide, Ombeni, was truly outstanding – very knowledgeable, professional, and always available to fully satisfy our wishes throughout the trip. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to enjoy every moment and make the most of this incredible adventure. We highly recommend this safari operator for anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable experience in Tanzania!

Amazing
Agency
The agency was very available, always attentive and truly listened to our requests. They designed an itinerary perfectly adapted to our wishes while respecting our budget. All the necessary information was shared with us beforehand, and during the safari, the itinerary was followed to the letter. A promise kept!
Safari quality
The vehicle was very comfortable: having a mini-fridge on board was a real plus, as well as the presence of Wi-Fi. We also appreciated the thoughtful details such as the cushion and blanket provided.
The hotels were chosen with great care. Their locations, the quality of the welcome, and the comfort all exceeded our expectations.
As for the food, it was excellent throughout the safari: generous, varied, and always delicious. We never lacked anything.
The guide – Bashir
Bashir was perfect from start to finish. An experienced, cheerful, professional, and respectful guide, he truly made our journey unforgettable. As two young women, we felt completely safe with him by our side: his seriousness and attentiveness reassured us at every moment.
He shared with us his extensive knowledge of the savannah’s wildlife, and during the search for big cats, his commitment and determination truly impressed us. Special mention also for his great taste in music, which brought a wonderful atmosphere to our drives.
This safari will remain an unforgettable experience thanks to Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris, and especially to Bashir, who made this adventure even more exceptional.

Professional, and excellent organisation
I cannot speak highly enough of our guide Goodluck, everything from the first moment was perfectly organised. I dont know how he was able to drive, give information and spot animals at the same time. He is an experienced driver and always made sure we got the best spot when seeing animals. He was always on time, the jeep was always spotless clean and we had no issues during the tour. Goodluck is very knowledgeable of animals, especially birds, and we learnt a lot from him. We were a group of 13, and extremely happy with the way the tour went. Cannot recommend these guys enough.

The best tour operator-Just book them!
From pre-planning to booking to arrival and start to finish, we could not have been more pleased with African Big Cats Safaris. My family of 5 traveled for a one week private safari through the Serengeti, the Ngorogoro Crater, Tarangire and Arusha National Park at the end for a hike, and the level of attention and detail and adventure was simply beyond our expectations. I cannot recommend this tour operator enough. Based in Tanzania they are aware of and plan for all the details that make a safari vacation memorable. So many people made our trip memorable, but special shout outs to Upendo who first fielded our inquiry, Naomi who arranged our trip, Emmanuel who was the site manager and last but not least, our spectacular and knowledgeable guide Gabriel. His fund of knowledge about the animals, the environment, Tanzania and general easy going company were unmatched. We felt very lucky to be matched with him and his expertise. THere are so many tour operators in Tanzania nowadays (tourism has become the biggest industry). I cannot endorse African Big Cats enough-they can customize to your needs and budget and preferences very easily. If you are thinking of Tanzania (which I highly recommend), do not hesitate to choose African Big Cats!
