Unforgettable Safari with an Exceptional Team — Titus and Moses Made It Perfect
We just returned from an incredible 10-day safari with Amazing Memories Safaris, and the entire experience — from planning to wildlife sightings — exceeded our expectations.
Planning with Titus
From the very first email, Titus was patient and responsive. We asked countless detailed questions over months of planning, and he answered every single one thoroughly and promptly. Our group of four included two senior parents and two birthdays falling during the trip, and Titus arranged everything beautifully — special dinners, cakes, and thoughtful touches on both birthday dates. All hotels were exactly as confirmed in our contract, with no last-minute changes. When our luggage didn't make our connection in Cairo, Titus personally followed up and made sure our bags reached us in Nairobi safely. His support throughout was reassuring and genuinely caring.
Our guide Moses
Moses was truly the heart of this trip. With over 20 years of safari experience, his expertise was immediately evident, but what really set him apart was his attitude. He was warm, patient, and especially kind to my elderly parents — he and my father bonded instantly despite the language barrier. My dad took so many photos of Moses that he made one his profile picture! Moses brought incredible positive energy every single day.
What I'll remember most is Moses's deep respect for wildlife. He never chased animals or jostled aggressively for "the perfect shot." Instead, he found positions that gave us amazing photos without disturbing the animals' movement, and he was always considerate not to block other vehicles. He shared sighting information generously with other guides throughout the trip — a true professional who clearly still loves what he does after two decades.
Thanks to Moses, we saw the Big Five AND the Ugly Five — our WhatsApp group is called "Too Much Lions" for good reason! He patiently taught us so much about animal behavior and ecology along the way.
We covered Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli — each location offered completely different landscapes and wildlife. We loved the contrast between luxury tented camps and lodges. Masai Mara and Amboseli were our favorites — we saw Mount Kilimanjaro on clear mornings and captured unforgettable shots of elephants framed against the mountain.
This trip was a powerful reminder that "life is a wilderness" — and Africa is a place where animals and humans can still coexist. We hope the story of the Mara's five-brother lion coalition continues for generations. Thank you to Amazing Memories, Titus, and Moses for making this trip everything we hoped for and more. We will absolutely be back to this magical land.
Highly recommend!

Amazing 4-Day Safari with the Best Driver, Fred.
We did a 4 day safari with our driver, Fred and it was an amazing experience. Fred was the best driver friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip enjoyable. We saw so many animals and had a fantastic all-around safari experience. I would strongly recommend this tour especially if you have Fred as your driver.

Excellent
Very unique experience! We had the time of our lives. Fred was our guide, he made sure we were safe the entire time, he was very very knowledgeable and also is a person of great integrity and dignity.
He knew all of the best spots to go and we were always the first van to the sites, he is the best!
Johnny is the best driver he gave us the best experience we could have ever had! We saw everything everyone in the van wanted to and got to see very uncommon sights on our safari that most other cars missed but we got there first for everything!

An Unforgettable Safari with the Best Guide We Could Have Asked For
Our safari with Balu Travel was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Everything was well organized, and the communication before and during the trip was excellent.
The biggest reason our safari was so special was our amazing guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and determined to give us the best possible experience. He worked tirelessly to find wildlife and made sure we had the best viewing opportunities. Thanks to his dedication, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, along with cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, and many other incredible animals.
The lodges, vehicle, and overall service were excellent, and we always felt safe and well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience.
We highly recommend Balu Travel to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Excellent and attentive service
From the very first contact I made with Kojuu they were responsive and accomodating. They paired me with a guide specifically chosen with me in mind and the trip exceed expectation in every way.
Kojuu provide a luxury experience, such as ulimited drinks and snacks while on safari, and tented campsites with butlers for each room, for a very reasonable price.
On the safari itself I was thrilled with seeing every animal I had wanted to and having many up-close encounters throughout my 5 days. I could not recommend Kojuu enough.

Bucket list experience!
Where to begin?! Hands down this was one of the most incredible tours I’ve done - everything was included and taken care of for you (lodge, food, permits, transportation & water) we started in Kigali and had pick up from our hotel - went to the genocide memorial, then off to volcanoes national park to see the golden monkeys. Next you head to Uganda to bwindi to trek with the gorillas after to lake Buyonyi to relax (which is needed after trekking) then off to queens Elizabeth national park for a boat cruise and evening game drive. We saw elephants, hippos, lions and even spotted the leopard! You finish off with a morning game drive then off to Kibale to see the chimps! The last day is a long trek from Uganda to Rwanda, but the previous days and excursions all make it worth it! Muhwezi was our guide and he was incredible from taking amazing photos of us, making sure we always had water, making our stops for cappuccinos along the drive and bathroom breaks! Request him you won’t be sorry.
