We went on a 4 day safari on the Seregeti and Ngorongoro conservation area, January 2025. Fantastic trip and excellent service! The locally owned Golden Memories give top guiding and premium hospitality. The migration viewing was absolutely spectacular - something we'll never forget!
Germany
The Great Migration Safari exceeded all our expectations. Our guide Henry was incredibly knowledgeable about animal behavior and positioned us perfectly to witness an amazing river crossing. The luxury tented camps were superb - falling asleep to the sounds of the Serengeti was magical.

As a wildlife photographer, I was blown away by the access and opportunities provided by Golden Memories Safaris. Our guide understood exactly what photographers need - patience, good positioning, and knowledge of animal behavior. The migration was the highlight, but we saw all the Big Five and so much more.
