Kind person. It was a fulfilling tour
I took a two-day, one-night safari tour and a Masai tour. On the safari, I went to Tarangire and Ngorongoro. I only had two days, but I am happy to see various animals. I spent a lot of time on the Masai tour and went to the place and school where the Masai people live, and I was very impressed. If you are thinking of going to Tanzania, you should choose a tour company here! !!

Very good safari experience in camping !
We did a very good safary with AAA Express Adventure. We came in September 2020 and it was very safe with covid. There is a small number of tourists right now and you feel alone in the parks, it's very nice to see the animals.
We see a lot of animals and the wildebeest migration in north Serengeti, a wonderful expercience.
Our guide knew very well all the animals and the parks, we learnt a lot about wildlife.
The food was very very good at each meal !
The camping allows you to be close to the center of the parks and close to the wildlife. You can hear the cry of the animals during the night.
So I can just advice to you to come in Tanzania right now, it's a very good moment to discover all the parks without too many tourists.

Super! Will most certainly go back!
We have decided to escape a little bit from the traditional circuit from the Northwest, so we’ve decided for Selous Game Reserve for our tour (4 days, 3 nights). It was an amazing surprise! The park is beautiful not only due to the animals you can spot, but also the variety of trees, plants and lakes. Our driver, guide (and friend :) ) Lenard was always on time and kind enough to always pay attention to our needs. We had a lovely lunch in the genours shade of a big tree and just next to giraffes. Lenard is also very acquainted with the place’s fauna and flora. Would definitely go back for Mikumi next time!

Best honeymoon we could have ever wished for!
We explored countries to travel to in September/October 2020 only in the end of August just before getting married in Germany. There were not a lot of countries to travel to and we quickly identified Kenya. We contacted some German aggregators as well as some local agencies in Kenya. The experience with the local German agencies was nice, but they offered a really high price. In the end you pay a lot for an expat that lives locally. The experience with Amazing Memories Safari was different, we received the quote from Anne in their Nairobi office very fast and it provided us with exactly what we needed. To give you a perspective, the German agency quoted $4200 for the same itinerary that we booked with Amazing Memories Safari for just $2650. With exactly the same Hotels, the same car (Landcruise) and an even better level of service! Why? Anne was so king to provide us with her Whatsapp Number and we could solve all of the questions just vie Whatsapp..extremely convenient. Also.. Anne was super honest in dealing with us. For example, we wanted to book an extra night at an Hotel in Nairobi and they were happy to communicate the nightly rate to us without hiding everything in a package price. The cost of the night was lower by the way than I could get despite having an Airline Employee Discount with a major international Hotel chain so kudos to the AMS team for offering us the best price. We also checked if we would have one of the transfers done by plane instead of car. The ticket on the air Kenya website was $485 USD one-way but AMS was able to offer us a 50% discounted travel agency rate just a couple of days before the flight. Really amazing!!! I also really liked the payment system that they have on their website, worked with our credit cards. We also transfered money via Transferwise directly to AMS to safe fees and the money arrived even before Transferwise expected it
Hotels/Parks:
Nairobi --> 1 Night in the FourPoints Airport --> HIGHLY recommended, such a warm welcome in Kenya and nice pool
Nairobi --> 1 Night in the Giraffe Manor --> Its expensive, but it was worth it, once in a life-time experience for sure
Amboseli --> 2 Night in Ol Tukai Lodge --> We loved this lodge, Elephants at your door step and also great location in the park
Naivasha --> 1 Night in Naivasha Sopa Lodge --> Highly recommend to break up the drive to Nakuru, really nice lodge with 20 Hippos just meters from our room (behind an electric fence)
Nakuru --> 1 Night at the Cliff --> Best Hotel i ever stayed in, better food and service than Giraffe Manor even, if you can, stay at least 2 Nights
Masai Mara --> 3 Nights at the Basecamp Explorer --> Really nice eco-lodge, really down to earth staff that really care about environment and the park. amazing food, highly recommended in terms of location as the gate offers a lot of variety (we saw the big 5)
One thing also, with our AMS reservation we got the BEST rooms. We stayed in the Obama Tent in Basecamp and a corner Tent in the Cliff!
Our guide and driver David was our life-saver during the trip (literally). More important to being a great guide with a great mood, he is a very very safe driver and this makes all the difference on the crazy roads where trucks and cars are mixing. David also knew the parks inside out with his 10 years of experience and made the game drives very rewarding (we managed to spot Black Rhinos and a Leopard in the Mara). We learning lots of facts about the animals and were also always flexible to acomodate our wishes like seeing the sunrise and so on.
Overall, I can only say that I already spammed all my friends with pictures and the link to the website of Amazing Memories Safari. 1000% recommended, hope you have no doubts, pictures are available here: https://adobe.ly/3i6z3qw
Also one note to the COVID situation. Kenya is handling COVID much more serious than European countries we have been. Our temperature was taken at all Hotels and Parks and the staff wore masks 100% of the time with lots of sanitation going on. Even when driving through the countryside we saw public busses were everyone inside was also wearing a mask as well. If you are in doubt, really thing about the local staff in the lodges that got let go because of less tourists coming this year, you will make a difference with your trip!

Safety - Security
6 Day Safari. Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Maasai mara. The Safari was amazing! I saw all the wildlife I wanted to see. My tour guide, Kevin Gichuki is very knowledgable about all the animals/birds. Lions, elephants, gazelles, hippopotamus, monkeys, baboons, wildebeest, secretary birds... The list goes on and on. The landscape was awesome! Mount Kilimanjaro, The mountains at lake Nakuru, and the grasslands at Maasai mara were so beautiful. The Maasai mara village tribe, Danced for me and gave me a blessing for my safe travels, and return to Kenya. The Village Chief put his WhatsApp info in my phone so I can text him next time I come. Kevin made sure I was safe while we traveled. If I needed cash at the ATM, Kevin would only take me to safe/secure places. My safety was his priority. The temperature in October was perfect. It was cool in the morning and nice all day. I wore shorts the entire time and had a light coat. Make sure you have at least 20,000 shillings cash for fridge magnets, bracelets, and souvenirs at each location. ($200US)
If African Safari is on your bucket list, or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, or camping, swimming, hot air ballon safari, hiking... contact Mufasa tours and travels. Ask for Kevin Gichuki to be your tour guide.

An exceptional encounter with adventure!
Extra mile adventures accorded us a very memorable safari experience. The team worked like a well oiled machine and were super courteous and knowledgeable about all the destinations we went to. We were always picked on time and taken to the best spots to view wildlife and interact with and shake a leg with the Maasai warriors at their village while exploring their rich culture.
Great job guys and I highly recommended you to any thrill seekers out there wanting a unique safari. Will definitely book with you again.

An unbelievable experience!
I wouldn’t do it again with anyone else. Using Classic was the best decision of our whole trip. They will not disappoint. We were extra grateful they kept us safe!
