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.

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.

Best Safari experience!
We had the most wonderful honeymoon with African Big Cats! From our initial email communications, Joshua was really helpful and patient with us getting started and confirming our dates and setting the itinerary. Naomi was so helpful in organising the trip, answered all our questions and made sure everything was sorted for us. The company is so professional and takes so much pride in what they do. Emmanuel, the owner, took a close and personal interest in the trip to discuss feedback and check we were happy with everything. The entire trip was so well taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything.
Our game drives were absolutely incredible and the whole trip far exceeded our expectations!! Our guide, Claus, was excellent! He was so patient with us taking so many photos and made every effort for us to see so many animals including the big 7! He drove so well and whilst we saw some animals really close up, he is really respectful of the animals. We enjoyed our time so much with him, we learned Swahili and just had such a good time that it felt difficult to leave! We loved Tanzania and the people are wonderful – if you are thinking about going on Safari, this company is excellent and I would highly recommend them!!

Amazing Honeymoon Safari experience
To the team at African Big Cats, my wife and I are truly grateful for the amazing honeymoon that you arranged for us. Every step of the way from planning through to delivery has been smooth and stress free. You made us feel safe and welcome and the entire experience was truly amazing and surpassed our expectations. Your attention to detail and professionalism meant that we could focus on the honeymoon and enjoy every moment without worrying about anything. We felt incredibly safe on Safari with Claus, his driving along the bumpy roads was incredible and his ability to spot wild animals while doing so is extraordinary!!
Thank you for an unforgettable experience Asante Sana!

Great and professional
Michael is extremely professional and gave us an unforgettable trip. We got to see the Big Five of Africa. He patiently explained the traits and names of various animals, and he even knew their Chinese names. We learned so much from him. What’s more, he provided us with a brand-new vehicle equipped with charging ports and a refrigerator. We had an amazing time. I will recommend this trip to all my friends.
