Best experience of my life.
Turned 21 years old in 1974 in my home state of California. I took a Kimbla Safari tour originating in London and first flew to Cairo for 2 weeks in Egypt being part of the tour. Then to Nairobi where 15 of us from all over the world were greeted by our guide and driver Malcolm in a 3 ton 4wd Bedford Troop transport which became our home base for the next several weeks (Çamping Safari) Started in Kenya and ended in Johannesburg. 6000 Miles overland. We zig zaged southward stopping at many lodges and reserves along the way and used their campgrounds, bars, and facilities, although did most of our own cooking, taking turns cooking for the group. The most memorable places were amboselli, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crator, and the pristine coast and beaches of Tanzania and of course Victoria Falls. The trip of a lifetime. Thank you Kimbla. I could write in detail for hours but not today. 69 years old and still have many vivid memories

Fantastic 10 day Kenya tour
My partner and I just returned from a 10 day/9 night safari to 5 different parks (Amboseli, Tsavo East, Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara). Right from the start Joel made the planning process incredibly easy. He was so helpful at arranging our itinerary so we could make the most of our time. Originally we had this trip booked for January of 2022 but since Covid flared up again, we decided to reschedule for September and Joel easily made that happen.
For the 10 days we were with our guide/driver, Kephar and he was so lovely! He was very knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions, and had incredible driving skills! All 5 of our stops were so different and had something special to offer, we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Our accommodations were all very comfortable with nice meals. This was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Amazing trip done by Amazing memory tour operator
After spending couple of weeks searching for tour operators for African safari we chose Amazing Memories Safari based on exceptional reviews. After our first initial contact with the company we got a fast and detailed response from Anne.
She sent us a couple of options for different hotel selections and camp itinerary for a packed 12 days private safari trip.
We did some changes with hotel selection and camps and after a couple of days we received a revised itinerary from Anne, which we accepted with a 10% deposit to secure the package.
Amboseli National Park. Kibo Safari Camp -4 STAR
Olpajeta Conservancy. Sweetwaters Serena Camp – 5 Star
Samburu Game reserve. Ashnil Samburu Camp- 5 Star
Lake Nakuru National Park Flamingo Hill T. Camp-4 STAR
Masai Mara National Reserve. Mara Simba Lodge -4 Star
Mara Serena. Lodge 5 star
We were met in Nairobi airport, and introduced to our driver James, who drove to Amboseli National Park and did evening game drives with impeccable views of mount Kilimanjaro. Also, we saw many different animals including: elephants , zebras ,hippos, lion’s and their cubs and cheetahs. Kibo resort was excellent with outstanding view of mountains.
In Olpajeta Conservancy we saw many rhinos and spotted Lino’s family playing with three cubes. It was secluded with no another jeeps around so we could watch them playing for almost an hour without distraction in close proximity. Thanks to James for his ability to spot animals where nobody can find them.
The Water hole was in front of our tent and we saw rhinos during day coming to drink water from it.
In Samburu Game reserve we saw special five and we completed our big five by spotting leopards. We saw cheetahs family haunting gazelle.
Even when it was super hot in Samburu I can say it was one of my favourite parks.
After Lake Nakuru National Park Flamingo Hill T. Camp-4 STAR
We did boat trip on lake Narvasha to see hippos.
Last four days we spent in Masai Mara 2 nights in Mara Simba and 2 nights in Mara Serena.
Game drive in Mara triangle was an unbelievable experience. We saw lions haunting zebras and eating buffalo .
Serena was a high class resort with perfect accommodations.
Thanks Amazing memory team for organizing an amazing trip for us.
Our guide \ driver James was outstanding , same us Eliud who joined us for last couple of days.
I highly recommend this company as the best tour operator for Kenya African safari!

Amazing trip, the attention to detail was outstanding!
This was absolutely an incredible trip. I believe it is the first time I have ever seen best-laid plans actually work. The communication with Darren was very quick and detailed. He was always there for us from the beginning of the planning stages to the end of the trip, including checking on us during the trip. The information in the itinerary he sent us covered every detail and smoothly guided us through four countries. At every new location there was always someone waiting for us to continue our journey. The guides (Brendan, Garth and Mortimer) and the safari guides were all outstanding, they took such good care of us. It truly was the trip of a lifetime, and it was all made possible by Kate and Darren Humphrys. I will always use and recommend Compass Odyssey for any travel to Southern Africa.

Wonderful Experience
We booked our 3 day tour to Masai Mara through Bluerange Connect Limited. Everything was properly organized and the execution was topnotch. They were always very timely with their responses and were ready to help us with whatever question we asked. Food was perfect and game drives were excellent. We highly recommend their services to anyone who would want to have a value for money experience.

This safari was amazing!
The safari holiday bookings team was very punctual on the days we were picked up and dropped off. The night drive took us to the Masai Mara and we were able to see all of the wild animals we had never seen before. The day safari took us around the Masai Mara National Reserve and our driver was very knowledgeable about all of the different animals and the vegetation in the area. I would highly recommend this company for your safari in Kenya!

Best Safari
It is hard to find the right words for an experience that we just had with my friends visiting Africa for the first time. the whole team at this agency is just amazing from the first response that we got from Mwangi the safari manager when I wrote to them the email inquiring about a safari to the last transfer back to the airport was well executed.
We had Kibe as our guide, and he made sure we got an amazing wildlife holiday. we only missed leopard to see the big 5 a good reason according to Kibe to come back another time which definitely I will. The camps selections were really nice with good staff and food. we also visited giraffe center and later dinner at carnivore on the last day before we heading to the airport.
Thank you all for a beautiful and unforgettable safari.
I would recommend them to anyone anytime.

Best Trip ever with the best Guide Cleopa
Dear Soul of Tanzania team,
first of all we would like to thank you for the entire planning and smooth execution. Everything went smoothly, communication, requests and payment processing. Now to our safari tour and our tour guide Cleopa. Cleopa was by far the best guide we could imagine, he did everything to fulfill our wishes and expectations. He wasn't just a guide, he became a friend. His warm and gracious manner made our safari truly unique. He explained everything to us down to the smallest detail and put a lot of effort into it. The trips to the respective places were very amusing and we had a lot of fun. Thanks to him and his efforts we have all seen the Big 5 of Africa, we are infinitely grateful and fly back with a wonderful memory and experience. Tanzania and the safari has conquered our hearts, we thank you, Cleopa and of course Mama Africa for this unforgettable experience. If we come back or our friends come, we will definitely recommend you and Cleopa. A 10/10 from us!
With eternal gratitude and love,
Pél and Mohammad from Bonn, Germany

An unforgettable experience!
Took a two-night, three-day tent safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with my wife. Staying in tents in the middle of nature, where even the wild animals roamed freely. The camp was visited at night by e.g. Hyenas, zebras, giraffes and on the morning of the last day two elephants! The guide was Rocky who was a really nice guy who knew a lot about animals, nature and the Masai culture. Musa was the cook on the trip, who conjured up unimaginably great dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I would not have even thought that such dishes could be made in the savannah. We did get the adventure of a lifetime and an unforgettable trip. Worth every penny and effort. Through Suricata, it was also possible to arrange cheaper taxi rides etc. for own expenses after the Safari. Customer service worked 10+ in every situation. Can't help but recommend!
