Safari of a lifetime!
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.

Excellent organization and the best safari in Kenya!
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!

Perfect
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.
