Together with rangers, we are hiking in Hell’s Gate National Park, which is an excellent opportunity to watch the game on foot. For African measures, this park is relatively small. In the park, we can see Olkaria and Hobley’s, 2 inactive volcanoes, as well as the obsidian formations from the cold lava. From the Central Tower, a small gorge leads south to a path with some hot springs. The park is a habitat for many different animals. Rarely seen animals include lions, leopards and cheetahs. The bearded vulture is one of 103 bird species. More common animals are the African buffalo, zebra, eland, red hartebeest, Thomson's gazelle and baboon. Servals and a small number of klipspringers also live in the park. In the afternoon, we will visit Elsamere, the former residence of Joy Adamson, the well-known lion researcher. In addition to the small museum, we can enjoy some “High Tea” with a variety of cakes in the garden at the lake. We will stay at Naivasha Kongoni Lodge for the night.

Private Couple's Safari - A Dream Come True

We started planning this vacation in January, and thanks to friends, I was able to contact Best Memory Safaris, where Isaac was available to provide all the requested quotes and answer all our questions. Given their professionalism and kindness, we decided to book a 3-day (2-night) beach trip in Diani, in a beautiful all-inclusive international resort, in addition to the 6-day (5-night safari). We landed in Mombasa at 5:30 in the morning (one of the few that leaves immediately), and upon our arrival, the legendary Mathias was there, a guide who spoke fluent Italian and who had been working in this field since 1988. We set off on a private couple's tour in a Land Cruiser. From the airport, we visited Tsavo West, Amboseli, Ziwani Sanctuary, and Tsavo East National Parks. Our safari was anything but monotonous because Isaac organized early morning tours, one on foot with a ranger, one at night by car, a tour of the Maasai village, and a ranger-led tour of the pools of the rare blue fish. Our guide, Mathias, knowing all the parks very well, allowed us to see and photograph numerous animals and stunning landscapes. He always knew how to pick the right moments to approach the animals with discretion and respect, allowing us to gain the best perspective. The quality was also evident in the choice of lodges: - Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge (inside Tsavo West), indescribable; - Amboseli Sentrim Camp (outside Amboseli), wonderful tents in a very well-maintained setting; - Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp (Ziwani Sanctuary), a corner of paradise with hippos and crocodiles; - Ashnil Aruba Lodge (Tsavo East), in the land of the red elephants. We were happy and had unforgettable moments, and for this reason we recommend Best Memory Safaris to everyone!

Amazing

We had an incredible 10-day tour with Best Memory Safaris, exploring some of Kenya’s most stunning destinations including Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and more. From the very beginning, communication with Isaac was smooth and professional. He was extremely helpful during the planning phase and even came personally to pick us up from our hotel in Nairobi, which was a great touch. Our driver and guide for the entire trip was Charles, and we couldn’t have asked for a better companion on the road. Charles is not only a highly experienced driver, but also incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and nature. He always made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcome, and his warm and friendly personality made the entire experience even more special. Charles went above and beyond every single day to ensure we had an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend booking your safari with Best Memory Safaris, and if you have the chance, request Charles as your driver because you’ll be in excellent hands!

Excellent organisation, reliable, trustworthy

We really didn't want to book a safari with our travel company or the hotel as they tend to be more expensive. I found BMS online and requested a quote. I confess I was a little concerned as I didn't know BMS nor had I heard of them and as always you are worried about losing your money and not getting what you hoped for. This was also our honeymoon so really wanted to be reassured about the company. Within minutes of submitting my request, I received a quote and a message from Isaac to ask if he could help further. From then on the lines of communication were clear and Isaac organised everything. Isaac personally came to the hotel with our guide Anthony and we had a fabulous 3 days, 2 nights. Hats off to Anthony who was incredibly knowledgeable and has the eyesight of an eagle! He spotted things on our safari that no human should be able to see. The great thing, for us, with a private tour was the flexibility and ability to adjust the drives and departure times around our schedule. I would definately use BMS again without any hesitation and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me via this forum and I'll help.

A beautiful journey that never ends

I have been a customer of BMS (best Memories Safaris) for a long time and can only say that I am always happy to return. This time I left everything to Isaac, the organisation, the parks, the lodges, and it was perfect. We started from Nairobi via Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara to Lake Navaisha. One of Kenya's many scenic highlights. We were lucky enough to see the ‘BIG FIVE’ in their natural environment. The tranquillity and professional knowledge of our guide Joshua was particularly impressive. The warm hospitality of Kenya, together with the choice of natural yet luxurious accommodation made this trip an unforgettable experience. Of course, the next trip with best Memories Safaris is already planned. What I would like to emphasise here is that BMS is always fair in terms of value for money. There is stable communication right from the start and the vehicles are roadworthy. Invoices are transparent and you have the option of paying in different currencies. I personally prefer KSH. Service is a top priority. Asante Sana Isaac, for this wonderful experience.
