Unbelievable experience! Great service!
After all the searching we chose the one with the best attractions for our budget which was Mwema Africa Safari- 4 day safari - 4 nights accomodation - breakfast,lunch,dinner and all the fees and charges on entry to all National Parks included. Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly, we felt like we've known each other for years. Places we've stayed over night were clean , the food was simple but delicious. We will always remember that one night we stayed in a military tent in the middle of Serengeti. Around 10 tents, not a fence to be seen, elephants walking in the distance, gazelles and baboons running around in between our tents. When time has come to take a shower , we had to call the staff to heat 20L of water over a fire pit for us and then hang the bucket above the tent for the shower to work. Electricity was only available up to 9 o clock at night and from 5.30 in the morning. No phones , no internet just us and the nature. The safari was just ideal for us!

Amazing safari honeymoon
We chose to spend our honeymoon in Tanzania, booked with Simon at Mwema Safaris, and it was amazing.
Simon was always on hand throughout the planning and budgeting stages to help with recommendations on where to stay and what to see and do. He was able to offer various accommodation options, according to our budget, and we opted to stay mid-range rather than go to budget or 5* extremes, and we were very happy with our choices. Simon arranged all our transfers, accommodation, meals, park entries and we had an internal flight.
We opted to do a 4-day private safari and visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara (we are sociable people, but would totally recommend a private safari so you don't have any other group members to worry about!).
Our guide was aptly named Goodluck, and he was very friendly and knowledgable about the areas we were visiting and the animals - he was definitely our good luck mascot, as we were lucky enough to see 4 out of the Big 5 (no leopards in sight, but we did see tree-climbing lions, which was pretty awesome!).
We would definitely recommend Mwema Safaris and hope to be able to return and book with them again.
Thank you Mwema for making our honeymoon memorable!

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.

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

Wellorganized, customer oriented to provide full satisfaction beyond expectations.
Though I gave Muema Africa Safaris my itenerary for vacation within a short period of less than 12 hours at the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, all was arranged on time from hotel bookings, excursions arrangements for specific tour destinations at reasonable rates, with tour guides ready to receive us , and constant email followups and updates from Muema Africa Safaris, thus, my family holiday for 3 days was full of wonders and surprises all well co-ordinated courtesy of Muema Africa Safaris. I am considering a christmas vacation again, with Muema Africa Safaris.

Our first great safari
It was our first safari. But we really liked it. Simon is very responsible to all our requests. Helped to choose the best option for a safari, as well as a convenient payment system. Everything was organized at a high level. Our guide Anthony is very experienced. It seemed that he knew all the roads and all the best places. We look forward to our new trip together with Mwema Africa Safaris.

Safari is the best part of Kenya but be prepared for lower service quality
We had with my wife a private 3 day Safari. The trip started in Amboseli, which was amazing - lot of animals and beautiful nature views. Kibo camp where we stayed was also great - tents were perfect, cozy and totally comfy. Then we moved to Tsavo West, which was a bit less interesting. It was very dry and we saw almost no animals. Luckily we are huge fans of nature, which was beautiful also there, so we were happy anyway - but I can imagine that "regular" tourists would be disappointed from seeing no animals there. The Ngulia Lodge where we stayed was also not a very nice place - very old, empty and with low service quality. Our guide Anthony was a nice guy, however he was more like a driver than a guide. He drove us safely to all of our agreed places, but he didn't provide us many additional information - only the name of an animal and some high-level basic info. He also paid more attention to his "fellow guides" than to us, which caused that we stayed for couple of minutes every 500m, when we met some other Safari car to have a talk with them. In general the Safari was great experience, but the service level could have been much better for so much money.
