Best 7-day Safari with great price-benfit ratio
We did a 7-day tour (Amboseli - Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru -Maasai Mara) with Joe, our amazing, super knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming and flexible guide! All of the lodges we stayed at (mid range offer) were very nice, directly within the national parks with game drives starting off from the gates of the lodges. Wildlife viewing couldn't have been better - we saw all big 5 and Joe always adapted to us and tried his best to provide us the best experience possible! I highly recommend the tour in the order above as it perfectly builds up to the most exciting animals in Maasai Mara, the cats! Big thanks again to Joe who was not only able to answer all of our questions regarding the parks, animals and the country (we had A LOT!), but also helped us with booking train tickets to Mombasa and more!
Overall, I highly recommend Joe and the tour from Mufasa!

Excelent experience 12 days safari in Kenia
We have just finished a 12 day safari with Mufasa Tours and Travels. A 10 out of 10 trip. A very good selection of parks including Aberdare, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Taita Hills and Tsavo East. The number of days was very well distributed and the selected hotels very good, without exception. Our guide Kephar Ogoye excellent. Friendly, attentive, discreet, in a good mood and with a very good eye for animal sightings. It deserves 11 points from 1 to 10.
We are left with a very complete vision of the enormous natural and human wealth of Kenya.
We are deeply grateful.

Poor experience
We didn’t have a good experience with this tourist operator.
First they offer a guide Spanish spoken and it wasn’t true, the guide just know some words in Spanish so our communication was so complicated.
We bought the safari 5 day, in the service description they include two days safari at the Masai Mara (including some hours at the 5th day) and our guide said, no the last day is just for go back to Nairobi, we had to show him the description of the service to had the complete service.

Best safari experience we could ask for :)
Me and my fiancé did a 6-day safari tour with Mufasa Tours and Travel in December 2021. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this operator. Joe put together an itinerary for us according to our wishes and it could not have been any better. The lodges and tented camps were incredible and the people are some of the friendliest you will ever meet. Thanks to our amazing driver/guide Kephar we saw so much wildlife! He was knowledgeable about the animals and birds and and explained every single question regarding animals, life in Kenya, tribes etc. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We definitely plan to visit Kenya again and will definitely ask for Mufasa tour again. Big thanks again!

Professional and 100% worth the money
Me and my wife took a private 5-day safari with Mufasa tours and it went fantastic!
Our experience started with requesting a quote through this website. We received a response the same day with several options and all our questions answered.
Even though Mufasa’s offer was more expensive than other quotes we received, we decided to accept it, and that was the right decision!
I was a little bit hesitant to deposit 10% in advance, but it also turned out to be ok.
We even had to reschedule the trip due to personal issues, and this was not a problem for the operator.
We received a list off all the requirements we needed to enter Kenya including an invitation to apply for eVisa. Our manager Joel followed up regularly to make sure we have our paper work ready.
The safari itself went brilliant! Our guide Joe showed great knowledge about the wildlife and local culture. He was always in contact with other drivers in a park. We always arrived on a spot when there were only a few cars and we got the best view point. We really enjoyed game drives with him.
Our favourite park is of course Massai Mara. The coolest thing was to see the whole big five in one day, before noon.
We were lucky to see a black rhino crossing the road right in front of us, lions having zebra for breakfast, a leopard fending off his pray from a pack of hyenas and taking it on a tree, and a pride of lions playing with its with cubs. The next day we saw four cheetahs hunting an antipope. This was a fantastic end for our safari!
During the five days we stayed in awesome hotels and game camps. Each place offered great service and clean rooms with canopy over the bed. Each place offered other facilities like bars, swimming pools, massage and spa services. One advise I can offer is to bring a power plug adapter, since Kenya has UK type power plugs.
Another concern we had before our trip was the food. However there was nothing to worry about! Each place we stayed in offered an open buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious food. Local and international cuisine.
After the safari we had a day free in Nairobi. We ordered a one day Nairobi tour at Mufasa. We went to the giraffe center and Nairobi museum. This was another amazing experience delivered by Mufasa!
Now we have a ton of photos to go through with our family and friends, and we cannot stop advertising Kenya and Mufasa to them!
We are sure we will be heading to Africa again very soon!

Best Safari Ever! Thank you Mufasa!
I have done a lot of safari in my life and this one was from far the best!
First of all the organization by Mufasa team especially Joe was amazing! From the first email to meeting us before departure in the hotel to make sure we were still happy with the planning etc we felt super comfortable.
The one week safari was the best ever, honestly. Colin our guide was just amazing, funny, caring and really knowledgeable about animals, nature, areas and communities. Thanks to him, since he went far and beyond so we could see the big 5 we did even at least twice each! We even saw a kill and lions honeymooners!
The camps were all outstanding: location, facilities and staff. Waking up in a tent front of giraffes and elephants is priceless.
We definitely recommend Mufasa tours and pick Colin as a guide, i promise you, you won’t be disappointed. We miss him already!

Fabulous adventure in Kenya
We were very pleased with the services provided by Mufasa Tours and Travels.
We booked safari with Joseph of Mufasa Tours and Travels and everything exceeded our expectations.
Everything, starting with a discussion of the trip by mail, detailed and fast answers, guiding and safari itself were wonderful.
Our guide Patrick was exceptional and a true professional, friendly and super responsive. He was very experienced, has a wealth of information about the country, animals, wildlife, his stories were very interesting, and he always managed to answer the ton of our questions. He was very considerate and fulfilling our requests to the best of the ability. He made our experience truly outstanding!!!
Also our guide Patrick was very professional driver. We chose Landcruiser for the trip and we never regret about this. We had an adventurous game drives and driving between the National parks was very comfortable.
Our experience is beyond our imagination. Highly recommend!

Trip of a lifetime!
I did an 11-day safari with Mufasa Tours and Travel in October 2021. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this tour operator. Joe put together an itinerary for me at the last minute and it could not have been more perfect. The lodges and tented camps were incredible and the people are some of the friendliest you will ever meet. I saw so much wildlife! My guide James was very knowledgeable about the animals and birds and even taught me Swahili at night. If you have the time, go to Amboseli (for the elephants) and Tsavo West (to stay at the lodge they use with a very active waterhole). I also spent a day with Mufasa in Nairobi before the safari, visiting Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen House – highly recommend this day trip with them before you start your safari adventure. I plan to go back to Kenya with my daughter and will definitely use Mufasa again. For this trip, I was a solo female and I had zero issues or concerns.
