The best experience
Frank, the guide who spent four days on the Serengeti safari tour!
He is the best driver and guide!
We were able to have a fun tour because they taught us a lot about African culture, and they explained the animals well when we were playing games. We tried to find and show the animals we wanted to see as much as possible, and thanks to that, we were able to see all the Big Five animals. Thank you Frank for always guiding me kindly and gentle, and above all, for finishing the safari tour safely
Like the name of the Puraha company, our honeymoon was a very happy one.

I really enjoyed my 10 days safari in Kenya with Kameraz of afrika.
The customer service was great and I really enjoyed the tour. It's beautiful.

very fast and helpful
Thank you for organizing this wonderful safari which was really well balanced in terms of safaris and hiking.
Our guide Sifael was perfect, he knew exactly where he was going to see the animals without too many people around.
Simply great!
Well organised, efficient tour operators but what makes the whole experience is the guides
It’s been our whole life dream to visit the Serengeti in Tanzania and it didn’t disappoint. The whole 8 day experience from start to finish was just fantastic. The transport, hotels, food and wild tented lodge camping were excellent. Been woken up by two hippos and a giraffe is an experience never to be forgotten (total safe).
But most of all a big thanks to ANDREW our guide, his knowledge, personality and humour made the whole experience unforgettable. We seen all the big 5 and much more due to his experience and passion for the animals and his country.
If you get a chance to visit and go on a hunt with the Hadza tribe it’s fascinating.
Thanks Felix also who started our safari at the Tarangire National park.
We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara,Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater national parks. The sights, sounds of Serengeti will never be forgotten. Thanks Andrew. Simon & Tracey

Magic
We did a safari of two days. We visited Ngorongro and Tarangire. We saw a lot of animals (and from a very close angle). It was like a dream for us ! After our safari, one of the guide of African Magic holidays & Tours, took us to visite Arusha. We appreciate it a lot!
We want to thank the guides who made this trip possible. It was one of the greatest moments in our lives. We will never forget everything they did to organise our perfect honeymoon! Thank you for your kindness and your helpfulness!
We will be back!

7 days of fun in the wild
Every year we take a trip both me and my wife to celebrate our marriage anniversary and this year it was on of the best all thanks to African sunset safaris. We had hoped to do an east African tour but last minute changes meant we could only manage a 7 day Kenya trip. They picked us up from Karen the hub mall and got us back there in a timely, professional manner. We visited Lake Nakuru National Park, The Great Rift Valley and Masai Mara. Haron was our Driver/Wildlife Guide and was awesome, professional, knowledgeable and extraordinary. We were able to see the big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant & buffalo) at Masai Mara. Our greatest moment was when we witnessed three lionesses hunt early in the morning and a pride of more than 7 lions all came to feed. also we enjoyed watching a mother cheetah successfully hunt to feed her cubs, the chase was breath taking.
We recommend African sunset safaris to anyone interested in having a memorable tour.

Amazing Memories to last a lifetime
The perfect name for this company, goodness did it deliver!
We chose the 7 day safari, setting off from Nairobi then on to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Nukuru and the Masai Mara. Pickup from the airport was a breeze and we knew we were going to be looked after.
From finding Amazing Memories on a safari comparison site, they responded to our enquiries very quickly and thoroughly. The quote was very competitive and Anne was brilliant at fitting the itinerary around our flights and additional activities we requested.
Stop 1 - Amboseli National Park. We stayed at the Kibo Safari Camp. The accomodation and food were outstanding and the staff were all utterly lovely. The road to this camp was incredibly dusty and bumpy but the camp made up for it! Amboseli National Park was brilliant for our game drives, we saw so much! Outstanding sunsets too.
Stop 2 - Lake Naivasha, then Nakuru. The drive here was long, but seeing the Rift Valley was incredible! We really enjoyed the Hippo Boat Ride on the lake - our guide was lovely and we had some great chats with him. Was wonderful to see fish eagles up close! We did feel like there was the expectation that we would also take part in the walking safari here and it was a little awkward when we declined but I don't think it should be assumed that tourists are going to be in a position to spend lots of money in addition to what they've already paid for as part of their tour. We arrived in Nakuru for an evening game drive which produced some great wildlife sightings and sunsets. Unfortunately we were taken to the wrong accomodation and were part way through unpacking when there was a knock at the door and we were told that we needed to leave. It was already 7:30pm and dark and we were slightly worried about what this meant for us. Our guide was extremely apologetic and I could tell he was also slightly nervous at the prospect of venturing back into the park after hours. This unexpected night safari however produced some fantastic wildlife encounters - we saw hippos and lions at very close range! We finally arrived at Flamingo Hill Camp just in time to catch the end of dinner, and enjoyed a lovely meal. The owner of the camp is fab and we had a great chat with him. Accomodation was lovely although we didn't spend much time here. Nakuru park is very different to Amboseli, it's very green and lush and we saw lots of wildlife here.
Stop 3 - Masai Mara. Another long drive but again worth it! Some amazing wildlife sightings here and we loved the game drives! We stayed at Mara Simba Lodge and again the accomodation, food and staff were fantastic. We loved eating our meals overlooking the river and the enormous crocodiles who live there! We wanted to do the sunrise balloon over the Masai Mara and all I would say, is that if you have the funds to do this, then definitely make this part of your trip. It was beyond stunning and we saw hyenas hunting baby topi from the balloon. It is incredibly special to be floating above the wildlife, and the champagne breakfast afterwards was perfect. The memories will live with us forever. We got on so well with our guide for this part of the day, his enthusiasm was infectious and we forgot how tired we all were from the 4am start! The game drives in the Masai Mara were our favourite, there was so much to see, including the wildebeast heading for the Serengeti and we loved our riverside walk to see the hippos and crocodiles too.
Due to our flight times, we spent our final night in the Crowne Plaza Hotel by Nairobi Airport. Anne arranged this for us and we were very grateful!
Peter was our guide and he was very knowledgable and looked after us so very well. We loved getting to know him and he always greeted us with a smile and made sure we saw everything! We did feel like he could have perhaps stepped in when we were being harrassed by sellers along the way, but we respect that it is a way of life in Kenya, it just takes a lot of getting used to and did make us feel uncomfortable. Peter is a great driver too, I'm not sure I could have done those distances every day and still been smiling at the end of it after all the bumpy roads! Peter - thank you so much for everything :)
Things to consider for your trip:
- Take a scarf or something to cover your nose and mouth on the non-tarmac roads, the dust is something else!
- Take more money than you think you need. Tipping is official and we thought we'd budgeted enough but ran out more quickly than expected due to the need to tip for things we didn't actually ask for. ATMs are hard to come by and I don't think we would have felt comfortable using them in any case.
- You will be mobbed when you stop by vendors trying to sell things to you. Although we fully respect that this is a way of life here, it can make you feel very uncomfortable
- If you opt for the safari minivan, be prepared for when the roads get bumpy. It is quite the experience. Our guide referred to it as an African Massage and we can safely say we've had enough of them to last us a lifetime!
- When you are driving between parks, you will stop at carefully chosen Curios Shops. The toilets are always right at the back of these shops and there is the expectation that you will buy something from each shop, so take this into account when budgeting.
- Be prepared for cold mornings/evenings and hot days! Pack something for all eventualities.
Overall this was quite simply one of the most incredible holidays we have ever been on, and the memories will stay with us forever. Thank you to everyone that made this trip so special.

Great value, well looked after, ran smoothly, friendly.
Our tour guide Isaac was friendly polite and great all round. Answered all our questions and was great at finding animals. The tour was only four days but we saw everything we thought we might, and a lot more. Accommodation was basic but good and overall value was amazing.
