Perfect
5/5

I had the best travel experience with this group. My driver's name was Richard, an extraordinary man with whom I experienced the best safari ever, filled with patience and kindness.

Excellent organization and the best safari in Kenya!
5/5

We arrived in Nairobi on January 01, 2024. By agreement, our guide and driver Eric were waiting for us at the meeting place. Everything was exactly at the specified time. Special thanks to Eric for his punctuality throughout the route! On the first day, we headed from Nairobi to our parking place and overnight near the Masai Mara Park. We visited the Masai village. It was interesting, but a little uncomfortable because of the poor and very natural lifestyle of these people. I hope that their lives will change for the better soon.

The next day was completely dedicated to the Masai Mara Park. In which, thanks to Eric, we were lucky enough to see a pride of lions, hyenas, cheetahs, warthogs, elephants, giraffes, ostriches, buffaloes, hippos, many antelopes, zebras and wildebeest. This is only the main part of the animal world that we have encountered. At certain points, thanks to our excellent guide Eric, we were alone on the road, which the giraffe was crossing importantly. They also saw a herd of elephants very close, and there was not a single car around. To summarize the first day of the safari: we saw three animals from the Big Five! Special thanks to Eric for the interesting and informative stories about the animal world and the life of Kenyans!

The next day we visited Lake Naivasha with amazing hippos in the water and an amazing island that turned out to be almost a contact zoo! Since there are no predators there, the safari was on foot. In this place, you can get very close (within reasonable limits) and look at zebras, giraffes, antelopes and wildebeest. There are also a lot of birds there! Wonderful and enthusiastic impressions of this place!!!
After breakfast and another transfer, we found ourselves at a park overlooking the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. There is a new excellent Amboseli Park here. On an afternoon safari, we met elephants, giraffes, zebras and many other funny animals.
In the morning, the clouds around Kilimandaro parted and we managed to take wonderful pictures against the background of the snow cap of this highest mountain in Africa!

And our further way lay to East Tsavo Park. And here we were waiting for two discoveries: first, it turns out that there are red elephants, and secondly, we saw the world's smallest antelope Dikdiki.

This is the end of our wonderful safari. And despite the fact that we didn't manage to see the whole Big Five, we hope to come back and do it again!

All the crossings were not very tedious, despite the fact that we drove a total of 1,500 km. The food and accommodation in all places of overnight stays are good. In some cases, we were even just the two of us! :)

Thanks to Mwema Africa Safaris for the excellent organization and great experiences!!! Special thanks to our super driver Eric!

Safari of a lifetime!
5/5

We went on a 6 day safari in Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Tsavo east. We can not recommend it enough! Our driver Paul was professional and accommodating. We did not only see animals and nature, but also a lot of “ordinary“ Kenya.
Paul was extremely knowledgeable about the parks and where the different animals where located. We felt throughout the whole safari that Paul really tried to make the trip the best experience for us.
We have learned a lot, not only about animals, but also about Kenyan culture though Paul.

The parks are located quite far from each other. The itinerary we were presented underestimated the driving times.

Otherwise we are in awe of Kenya and are still thinking back on our all our wonderful experiences!
This safari was really an experience of a lifetime. We highly recommend Paul and Mwema Africa Safaris.

Unstructured, unorganized and not carefully listing to the clients demand.
3/5

Overall it has been a nice trip and our guide and driver made a good job so that we improved the rating from 2 to 3 stars. The reasons why we don't rate this 4 to 5 stars are the following:
- We booked the safari in a different order and after we completed the trip, I have to recommend everyone to start with Amboseli first, second Lake Naivasha (or even better Lake Nakuru) and finish with Masai Mara as the Masai Mara is mind blowing and the other 2 are "only" good. So finally it felt from starting at the top, in the middle it was kind of useless and the end it was a bit better than expected but again, nothing to compare with Masai Mara.
- Our main goal of the trip was to see the GNUs crossing at the Mara River, but we have there only been for 15 minutes because it was raining. So this was really bad organised.
- We had to pay another fee which taken from the Bank of the operator even though I could evidence that I have paid the full amount Inch the local fees of my Bank.
So overall, I can't recommend Mwema.

Very helpful, accurate, friendly, competent.
5/5

We know Mwema Africa Safari since 2018 : Simon (Mweman Africa Safari chief) organized our safari that August and everything went perfectly. So I contacted him also this time, knowing his courtesy and his proficiency, and my expectations have been fully satisfied.
We spent 2 days in Masai Mara National Reserve, 2 days in Nakuru National Park and 1 day in Nairobi National Park with our fantastic driver Paul. We saw many many animals: big fives, birds, crocodiles, and so on.
Than we had an other 1 night safari in Tsavo East, with other amazing, nice, funny driver Rashid. Also this mini safari was fantastic: this park is so wonderful for its particular colours and you can see all the wild beasts you can imagine.
Simon and his staff are special : they lhave a special gift: they understand what you needs, they advise you about the best solutions to link your wishes and best prices. They're always present on Whatsapp or phone to solve any problem could happen during your stay. They can help you also for transfers, if you need.
Now I'm home, our adventure is finished, unfortunatly, and I'm already thinking what I can ask Simon to plan for next time.
Thank you Simon and Mwema Africa Safari, from the bottom of my heart.
