Grwat trìp
We were on 2 days safari tour to Tsavo East. The driver was polite and helpful. He knew that we were interested in see lions, so he was trying to find the lion. And he found :) We recommend this company.

Most Amazing Experience!!!
From the very beginning Africa Tours Adventure stood out from the rest. Nicholas was very prompt with all of his email responses and they were the only tour company to give the option of ending the tour in Kigali, Rwanda. Kayi our guide was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us throughout the whole trip. We could not have asked for a better tour guide! Gorilla trekking was one of the most amazing things I've ever experienced and I could not recommend this tour company enough!

You should absolutely choose Wildebeest Safaris
This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and I am so glad we chose Wildebeest Safaris. From our first interaction with Noah, we knew we were in good hands. He answered all of our questions patiently and was very accommodating in planning the exact itinerary we needed. Our guides, Hamza and Chotara, were the best that we could have hoped for. They were friendly, charming, and obviously very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. They felt like a part of the family after 6 days, and we were sad to say goodbye to them. If you are looking for a smaller safari company that will treat you well and customize a trip exactly to your specifications, you should absolutely choose Wildebeest Safaris LTD.

Excellent experience!
This tour experience was EXCELLENT, from our friendly and helpful guide Aroni, to the very comfortable "glamping" accommodations at the Mara, to the unique experience driving over the VERY rough roads both getting to and inside the reserve, to the surprisingly excellent (and vegetarian-friendly) meals provided throughout.
Having gone in March, the Mara wasn't as full of migrating animals as it is at other times of year, but Aroni was excellent at getting us up close to many of them nonetheless, including several sightings of elusive cats (lion and leopard). It turned out that we ended up seeing lots more than some others we chatted with at the camp who were part of other safari groups.
The one DISAPPOINTMENT of the trip is that the safari company needs to update the description of this safari. Due to geological changes that flooded the lake with lots of fresh water, Lake Nakuru is (sadly) no longer the flamingo-filled "Pink Lake" that it's claimed to be in the description. Visiting that park was still enjoyable, but I think the company needs to update either the safari itself or its description.
Finally, while we usually try to avoid expensive tours and plan our own trips, this is one where you NEED a tour! Driving in Kenya isn't for the faint of heart. Traffic, directions, road conditions, lack of reliable cell service (especially out in/near the Mara), and an inability to communicate with other safari drivers about sightings in the park are all important reasons to NOT go this one alone!

Another fantastic experience with Amazing Memories Safaris
Amazing Memories Safaris has become to me like an extension of my family (all positive). Anne and Joseph are a wonderful couple whose skills complement each other to make sure no detail is missed. I had such a pleasant experience with them in March, 2017 that there was no question about choosing them again and no need to get additional quotes because their pricing is very fair.
Even though this was my eighth trip to Kenya, there are always a few questions that come up. Anne is prompt to respond with the answers. I had chosen my own itinerary and lodging for this trip. But we got a big curve ball the day before I was to leave the states. Anne notified me that the camp where I was to stay five nights (Offbeat Mara - where I stayed last year) had been flooded and they told her I would have to find other accommodations. Anne immediately sent me an email to let me know. I felt a panic. She suggested two other places for me to consider that were comparable prices. I looked at their reviews, got back to her with my choice, and she immediately confirmed my new lodging. Offbeat had a special offer of getting one night free when paying for three. Unfortunately, Eagle View did not offer this. When the change was made, Anne informed me that Amazing Memories would take care of that added cost. Thanks to her quick action, it all worked out.
On arrival into Nairobi, Anne, Joseph, and another Joseph (my Nairobi guide) were there to greet me with big hugs and smiles. After the long flights and the late hour, it is so nice to see such welcoming people waiting. The trip to the Fairview Hotel was short and they made sure everything was perfect on check in. We discussed my arrangements for the next day for my pick up time by Joseph in order to do some shopping and visit my elephants at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust both for the 11am public visit as well at the adoptive parent visit at 5pm.
After the evening elephant visit, Joseph and I met Anne and Joseph at the Carnivore restaurant where I was treated to a lovely dinner and great conversation. Such a special time.
Joseph N., my Nairobi guide, that I first met in 2014, is amazing at navigating the traffic in Nairobi. His pleasant personality and sense of humor go a long way to making you feel at home.
Communication with the camps was perfect. On arrival, they all knew I preferred a tent with a full size bed and what my dietary requirements were.
As a photographer, my guide Daniel, who I have traveled with 4 times, is a real gem. He is an excellent spotter, even in challenging situations. As a photographer himself, he knows how to position the vehicle to get the best shots. He's a great conversationalist, and always fun to travel with.
When arriving back into Wilson from Meru, I changed airlines. Joseph, my Nairobi driver, was waiting for me to assist with the transfer. There was a three layover between the flights so I was taken to Aero Club to enjoy lunch. The food there was very good.
On my final day in Kenya, Anne met me at Wilson after my flight from the Mara, with driver Joseph. She wanted to know how everything went, especially at Eagle View which was not my initial choice. All went fantastic. She was also able to extend the Eka hotel regular day room check out time from 6pm to 7:30pm which really was nice and gave me time to repack and have some food before I was taken to the airport for my midnight flight.
I can't say enough good things about Amazing Memories Safaris. They are extremely professional, going above and beyond to make sure every part of your trip expectations are met perfectly. They are much more than a tour operator. Their warm, welcoming hospitality is yet another reason why I return to Kenya over and over.
