Our tour guide Robert was very good. we enjoyed our vacation. He had very good contacts to find animals. Only disappointment was hotel location. it was not at prime location.

Great experience and good organisation
4/5

We had a very good Safari with great experiences in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
The organisation was also good and due to our driver we felt also safe as he told us many things about the landscape we drove through.

Good but some obvious improvements
4/5

Good :
- Communication over email and whatsapp was good and fast.
- The guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
- The first 2 hotels (in Aberdares and Samburu) were amazing.
- Great night safari in Ol Pejeta
- Very nice parks altogether.

To improve :
- The duration of drives from a park to the next had been underestimated of an hour or so each time. Long drives on the road and less time for safaris.
- The itinerary included 4 parks which was too many in our opinion for only 6 days, especially as drives were longer than expected. 3 parks would have been enough.
- On our last day, the hotel booked by Mwema (Falcon Heights) was 35 minutes down the road from the entrance of the park. We lost over an hour and a half that day driving back and forth.

Great safari
4/5

We booked a short safaritrip with Mwema Safaris for our family. We were very satisfied. Communication was fast and easy, everything was very clear in the tour description, the price was fair and the safari in Amboseli was great.

Everything was organized with perfection and the ended up being more amazing than we had imagined.
4/5

From the beginning the communication with our safari designer, Simon, was very clear and easy. He designed a safari for us that met all our needs. Both Tsavo East and West were quite when we visited in May, but that was just how we liked it. The lodges didn't have many people as it was off season, but that is how we liked it. We didn't run into many people while in the parks and we saw so much wildlife. Such an amazing experience.

Good experience
4/5

My daughter and I booked a 3 day/2 night safari with Mwema, which included pick up from Nairobi and drop-off in Watamu. Simon was very fast at responding to all our queries in advance. Anthony was our driver and safari guide; he was very flexible and knowledgable about the animals. We felt safe and well looked after. We stayed at Kibo safari lodge in Amboseli which we found to be a very friendly place - we loved our spacious tent. Amboseli was great for viewing elephants in particular, though we were also lucky enough to see a variety of other game including a lion and her cubs. Then we moved to Kilanguni Lodge in Tsavo - this was comfortable and has a watering hole right outside - it was rainy season but we imagine this would be amazing in the dry season when animals visit. We also enjoyed the lava flows at Tsavo. All in all a great experience with a good local company. The safari van was a little bit old, but I think is being replaced very soon after having racked up over 150,000 miles!

Great Family Safari
4/5

We had a lovely experience with Mwema Africa Safaris. They provided an excellent price for the dates and style safari we were looking for. They were accommodating, listening closely that we had family members ranging in ages from 78 to 3 years, and made sure each member had a great experience. We visited Serengeti )2 nights central), Ngorongoro Crater (2 nights), and Lake Manyara. They met us in Arusha and transferred us to a hotel outside the city, but before doing so they agreed to stop and let us check out a bit of shopping.

Safari is the best part of Kenya but be prepared for lower service quality
4/5

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.
