Everything went smooth
Everything was organized well - the driver was always on time, prepared and knew where to go. He also drove safely and kept to the speed limits.
The only issue was the road we took from Lake Nakuru to the Mara, where we didn't go the long way around on tarmac, and instead took a secondary road in terrible condition (he wasn't aware the road had deteriorated). In that instance it would have been nice if we'd selected the 4x4. Due to the road, we arrived too late at the Mara for a decent game drive, but the driver made up for this the next day by taking us on a full day drive with packed lunch where we saw every animal on the list, including leopard. The driver (I think Richard?) was very accommodating like that.
Overall, I would say everything was organized very well!

Tsavo east/west with Edward
Very satisfied customers. Private minivan split 4 ways with eagle eyed Edward taking very good care of us. Didn't expect to see anywhere near as much as we did. Would highly recommend. Wow!

reliable Safari company, wonderful trip
Everything was well organised, our driver James (very sympathethic) picked us up at our hotels and brought us back. We have had wonderful experiences.
Two lodges we booked very okay and one (Ziwani) was outstanding !
We were flashed for days after our tour.
Thank you very much Simon and James

6 Days Safari Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngrongoro in tented camps
Firstly, I would like to thank Simon for the organisation of our safari. He always answered competent and fast all my questions. At the end everything was arranged according to our wishes. Unfortunately we had to adapt something at short notice and he did the upmost to help us.
Secondly, I would like to thank Kevin, our driver. He is not employed by Mwema Africa Safaris, but works closely together with Simon. Already on the evening before our safari started, he passed to check if we had arrived. We felt safe and well looked after during the entire safari. He was always friendly, answered with his vast knowledge all our dozens of questions and did everything to ensure that we had the best experience possible. In the National Parks, the roads may be in a state where even well maintained 4x4 cars may reach their limits. Therefore, we had some technical issues with the car, but Kevin found always a solution to the problem.
I would recommend Mwema Africa Safaris to anyone interested in booking a personalised, perfect Safari.

Perfect guiding, logistics on time, lodges could be better.
Mwema delivered according to expectations. They provided us with a safari guide (with & car) that guided us thru Amboseli and Masai Mara. He did an excellent job and he knew his stuff. Very service minded also. He had been working as a safari guide for the last 25 years and he knew all the places to look for animals. We saw everything except Rino and Leopard. Accommodation could be slightly better, they used AA lodge Amboseli and AA lodge Masai Mara. They where good enough , but service level on the lodges was maybe not as expected.
Dealing with management in Mwema was also a nice experience. Logistics went according to plan, and this is a plus! All in all a nice experience, wonderful game viewing but they could consider change lodges.

Well executed Safari
Setting up the Safari was an easy task. Mwema were accommodating in finalizing the details for our journey to Amboseli and Masai Mara. We were a group of 9 people, two families, who traveled together on this trip and we were naturally looking for an operator who was able to give us a good itinerary. Our driver, Robert, proved to be a perfect guide and facilitator during our journey where he sorted out all issues that came up.
All in all a timely and well executed safari.

Excellent Safari with Mwema Africa
Simon from Mwema Africa Safari is very professional and provided be me with a fair quote for our custom safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti). Everything went very smoothly since our first email and the trip was very well organized. This include all ground transportation from Kilimanjaro to Mwanza, national parks entrance fees, flight tickets from Wmaza to Kilimanjaro, up-scaled accommodation, great food, and of course very knowledgeable guide (Kevin) who knew where to look for animals and drove very safely.... Thank you Simon and Kevin

2 outstanding bases, one in the Masai Mara reserve, the second at Eagle View, Naboisho Conservancy
Starting with service, we were greeted so warmly in both of our bases and we found all of the staff to be very proactive in ensuring that we got the best from our visit. Our expectations were exceeded, by far, without doubt. My wife's birthday was marked by just about the whole of the Eagle View staff, with singing and dancing, vocal rhythms and harmonies with a stirring shuffling march and Adumu dancing. Electrifying stuff.
The safaris were of varied length and the guides had excellent knowledge. We saw some breath-taking sights, as you might expect, but what really made the visit special was the whispered and fascinating background information from our guides as we watched the animals in their habitats.
Food at Eagle View was particularly excellent. Wherever we are, we eat out regularly and we eat well, so our idea of "excellent" represents a very high standard and the superb, imaginative and delightfully presented meals were an unexpected treat.
We all agreed - this was an unconditionally successful and memorable visit to Kenya.
