Amazing Memories
This spring, while planning my trip to Kenya and comparing different travel agencies, I came across Amazing Memories and found a travel package that promised an authentic and wonderful experience at an affordable price. From the very beginning, Brian was always available and attentive. He understood my needs, fulfilled my requests, and gave me valuable advice throughout the planning of the entire trip. His professionalism really stood out when I ran into an unexpected problem: my earlier flight was cancelled. Within just a few hours—and without me even having to ask Brian managed to reorganize my itinerary so that I wouldn’t miss a single activity. I truly appreciated how quickly and efficiently he handled the situation. Robert, our guide, was equally exceptional. He proved to be extremely knowledgeable about the national parks and wildlife, sharing fascinating details about the animals throughout the safari. He was always available and attentive to our requests, and thanks to his expertise, we were able to see the “Big Five” multiple times. Overall, it was an incredible experience, made even better by the professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care shown by Brian and Robert. I would definitely recommend Amazing Memories to anyone looking for an authentic and well organized safari experience in Kenya.
The African dream experience
Our experience with Samora explorers especially Iddy/Asia/Reginald has been excellent and would recommend to others.
Firstly, our booking had to be postponed from 2025 to 2026 given the country situation last year but Iddy & Asia have been very helpful in ensuring we enjoyed the same experience while keeping prices constant and the experiences similar. They were very patient, flexible, and answered all our questions that gave us confidence - these are the qualities you need in your operators here and samora folks are superb.
Our driver, Reginald, was the star of the show and we highly recommend him. He is awesome at the game drives and shows a lot of protectiveness in searching for wildlife - we saw 30+ lions/ 7 rhinos in a few drives as Regi was constantly on top of his game. He is also always on time. friendly in interactions and we enjoyed his company over the full period. Thank you Reginald (Regi) for the great job
Overall, Samora has been a fantastic choice.

An unmatched first safari experience in Africa
We have just returned from our first safari in Africa, and choosing Axis and their team was a fantastic decision. We had no prior experience organizing this type of trip, and Peter’s assistance and advice were invaluable in creating an itinerary perfectly tailored to our interests. Peter was attentive and proactive throughout the process; he listened to our needs and helped us create a tailor-made itinerary that went beyond standard options—such as adding an extra day in the Maasai Mara and a visit to Hell's Gate in Naivasha. He even arranged to purchase our train tickets before we arrived in Kenya—a huge relief, as we wouldn't have been able to buy them ourselves without M-Pesa. Thanks to him, we secured travel on our preferred dates without the worry of tickets selling out!
The moment to begin our adventure arrived, and we were assigned a guide and fellow travelers—people who were key to making the adventure truly complete. There were two other couples with whom it was a pleasure to share this fantastic experience, and then there was Yasin, our guide, who became a real teacher and friend throughout the week-long safari.
Yasin adapted the route each day with our well-being and comfort in mind; we managed to see a vast number of animals and truly spectacular sights. His mastery of the terrain and his experience in the wild were evident at every moment. We all hoped to see the "Big Five" (which we did!), but we never expected to witness the birth of an elephant just a few meters away. He always maintained an ethical approach and shared his insights with us throughout the journey.
We wrapped up our eight-day safari feeling a bit tired, yet immensely grateful and happy about the experiences we shared each day. We will miss seeing so many animals daily and continuing to discover the local wildlife.
Asante sana!

An unforgettable and magical safari!
We just finished our safari experience and we couldn't be more happier with the result.
First of all, the Axis team—and Peter in particular—did a fantastic job putting together the itinerary, answering all our questions, and handling any issues that arose—such as adding an extra day in the Mara or booking train tickets to Mombasa in advance.
Our guide, Yasin, made this experience far better than we had ever imagined; he teach us all about a wide variety of animals and looked after us like family. We were lucky enough to see the "Big Five" and witnessed one of the most magical moments imaginable—an elephant being born right before our eyes. All of this was enhanced by Yasin’s extensive knowledge and kindness, as he always prioritized our well-being and the well-being of the animals.
Asante sana!

Excellent and highly recommended!
Booking the one day trip to Mikumi National Park from Dar es Salaam was really easy! The communication from Winfrida was excellent throughout and Maarufu, our guide, was super lovely making the game drive really enjoyable! We learned a lot from him about the wildlife. Mikumi National Park has lots to offer; it was above expectation!

Fantastic trip in Moremi Game Reserve and Okavango Delta
It was not our first time in Botswana so we knew well what we wanted this year: Okavango Delta was our main goal. So we asked exactly for that and our expectations were fulfilled. We had a fantastic time in Moremi, and then Okavango. Everything was perfectly arranged: the camp for us, the staff who cared for everything we needed, food, dinner: soup, main course and ... surprise (a desert). And beautiful landscape, and animals (lions, leppards, hippos, elephants - a lot, crocs, antilopes, .....), walking, mokoro, boat. Everything we needed to have fantastic holidays. It is not our last time in Botswana, we start to plan next year....

Professional and patient
We had a wonderful safari in Tanzania with Serengeti Smile. We saw the Big Five, cheetahs, and the wildebeest river crossing. Our guide, Sanare, was excellent—professional, patient, humorous, passionate, and very attentive. He was incredibly good at finding animals quickly. If you book with Serengeti Smile, definitely ask for Sanare. Our sales contact, Patricia, was also fantastic. She patiently revised our itinerary many times according to our requests, was professional and enthusiastic, and always replied very quickly. Overall, it was a truly enjoyable trip. Highly recommended!
