Perfect 5 Day Safari in Tanzania
Me and my sister booked a 5 day safari, including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
The contact with Simon before was very easy, he always responded quickly, via mail or whatsapp. Because we just booked two weeks in advance, we had to transfer half of the money which was a bit complicated with our bank, but Simon helped us a lot.
Included were all the fees for the park, 1 bottle of water per person per day and meals. You just have to pay extra for the tips, but that was ok for us. What you pay and what you get for this is more than fair, it was an amazing experience.
The day before the safari, when we arrived in arusha, simon told us that kevin and our guide come to our hotel for a short briefing. They made us feel welcome and comfortable.
Then the safari started. We payed the rest of the money in cash and then started off to Tarangire. Our Guide, Goodluck Martin, is like Simon said, one of the finest guides. And thats true.
Goodluck took care of us, asked what we want to see, he had so much knowledge about everything and we had such a fun time. He spotted many animals we even didnt see coming. We can just recommend him and his company.
So in total, all the accomodations were the perfect mix - from the lodge to the tented Angani Camp. We slept in the wild and this was an amazing experience. The food as well as the lunch boxes were always delicious, it couldnt have been any better.
Thanks so much for this incredible experience!

Fast, organized and reliable team
I had a pleasure to book a safari tour to Amboseli 2 days/1 night in the last moment with this agency. They were very polite, professional and fast. 'They gave me all the details needed in short time and made a plan around my needs. The tour guide was very well informed and we had a exciting safari in Amboseli park where we saw all the animals we wished for. Thank you for the pleasant journey.

Excellent safari
We had an excellent safari. All arrangements were exactly as promised. Mr. Simon was very prompt in replying to our queries and clearing our doubts. Mr. Anthony, our driver and guide, was most helpful and made every effort to ensure that we saw sll the animals. We had three senior citizens and two young children with us and we did not face any problems.

8 days safari towards Serengeti
I had very smooth email & whatsapp communication with Simon to detail a modest safari for two in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti (to the north). We covered hundreds of km with our driver/guide Goodluck Martin. I can recommend Mwema as a reliable operator and Goodluck as a friendly/professional guide. His driving skills also proved that we were on safe hands.

Couldn't have had a better service and a split of a more wonderful holiday
Mwema Africa Safaris is so organised when it comes to planning and actual service. The company did its best to make our 11 day trip with them an impeccable one. We felt we had 2 knowledgeable drivers/guides taking us around, from the very beginning to the very end. They spotted all sorts of animals and views for us. We even saw a rhino ;-) They gave us the opportunity to get to know them on a personal level too. We could share all sorts of ideas; from politics, education, cultures and so much more. Every single step of our journey was planned with all the necessary details. There wasn't any minute of our trip with Mwema that we felt at a loss. All questions we could ask even during the actual trip via Whatsapp. We had enough freedom to enjoy each others' company as 3 good friends travelling together, especially being the first time to Africa for us all. We used to be more impressed the more days passed with the way we were treated by Mwema. All accomodation booked for us was fine. Food was great. Service even more. I recommend Mwema to all those travelling to Africa and opting for any kind of safari. The drivers/guides are nice people with whom you can have a fantastic experience after all.

once in a lifetime experience everything was great. Tears when we left our driver Goodluck brill guy
Simon at Mwema safaris were brilliant , excellent communication. Very helpful regarding itinerary and pricing was very competitive. Our driver Goodluck was truly one in a million a good driver engaged with the children and showed us everything we wanted to see including the Mara river crossing. He became part of our family and there were tears when we left. The accommodation was excellent and beyond our expectations. Would recommend to anyone these guys won't let you down

Perfect customer service
I sent requests for safari to a few companies. Simon replied right away. All the rest took between 1 and 5 days to reply. Also the price was the best. Every question I had was answered within minutes. Very professional, reliable with good English and very patient. Our safari guide was amazing. Great experience. I highly recommend Simon and his company Mwema Safaris.

Our first safari in Africa
This was our first safari trip in Africa, my husband and I chose Tanzania and we booked through Mwema Africa Safaris agency. We wanted to see as much as possible, especially to have a good diversity of nature and animals so we chose 6 days tour, starting in Tarangire, then spent two nights in Serengeti, one in Ngorongoro crater, finishing in lake Manyara. My communication with Mr Mwema was perfect, I had millions of questions (as it was first trip of this kind and I was very much involved in every aspect of the planning). The tour was flexible and I could add or change things (such as flights, accomodations especially in Arusha - there was no problem at all). Our guide was Osman (collaborating agency from Arusha as Mwema is based in Nairobi), amazing guy and great character as well. We wanted to see the big 5, so he really did his best to look for the animals and we managed to see them. Accommodations were great everywhere, we especially liked tented lodge (with en suite bathroom) in a camp in Serengeti savanna! That was the highlight of our trip. Staff in the camp was extraordinary, food, environment, everything. The camp is situated in the middle of savanna and animals walk free around it - you can see and hear them. I recommend warmly Mr Mwema and his collaborators in Tanzania. We hope to come back for Kilimanjaro hike next year.
