Excellent 5-day private Kenya Safari
Private family safari by Landcruiser to Aberdare, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara National Parks. Efficient and responsive service. All details were as expected: accommodation, locations visited, transport. Friendly, knowledgeable guide with good driving skills. Vehicle was somewhat old but completely fit-for-purpose. Overall an excellent experience which can be highly recommended.
extraordinary! amazing!
Everything outstanding. The guide (Good luck), the truck, the hotels, the landscapings, everithing! More people should do a Safari with thhis company. Best prices also!

Taste of Zanzibar
We booked a short Zanzibar tour as an add-on to a safari trip. Zanzibar was our flight/jet lag recovery spot. Simon was very responsive to our wishes, got us a snorkel trip to Mnemba island and a short stay at Kendwa. Took care of every detail of our transfers and two short (too short!) tours of Stonetown and a Bububu spice farm. Simon also booked our flight from Zanzibar to the start of our Serengeti safari in Arusha. We left wishing we'd had more than a taste of Zanzibar, but we had went very well. We were also able to arrange to pay in advance - this was a very useful convenience to us for this part of our trip.

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.

Our first safari in Africa
This was our first safari trip in Africa, my husband and I chose Tanzania and we booked through Mwema Africa Safaris agency. We wanted to see as much as possible, especially to have a good diversity of nature and animals so we chose 6 days tour, starting in Tarangire, then spent two nights in Serengeti, one in Ngorongoro crater, finishing in lake Manyara. My communication with Mr Mwema was perfect, I had millions of questions (as it was first trip of this kind and I was very much involved in every aspect of the planning). The tour was flexible and I could add or change things (such as flights, accomodations especially in Arusha - there was no problem at all). Our guide was Osman (collaborating agency from Arusha as Mwema is based in Nairobi), amazing guy and great character as well. We wanted to see the big 5, so he really did his best to look for the animals and we managed to see them. Accommodations were great everywhere, we especially liked tented lodge (with en suite bathroom) in a camp in Serengeti savanna! That was the highlight of our trip. Staff in the camp was extraordinary, food, environment, everything. The camp is situated in the middle of savanna and animals walk free around it - you can see and hear them. I recommend warmly Mr Mwema and his collaborators in Tanzania. We hope to come back for Kilimanjaro hike next year.

Perfect customer service
I sent requests for safari to a few companies. Simon replied right away. All the rest took between 1 and 5 days to reply. Also the price was the best. Every question I had was answered within minutes. Very professional, reliable with good English and very patient. Our safari guide was amazing. Great experience. I highly recommend Simon and his company Mwema Safaris.

once in a lifetime experience everything was great. Tears when we left our driver Goodluck brill guy
Simon at Mwema safaris were brilliant , excellent communication. Very helpful regarding itinerary and pricing was very competitive. Our driver Goodluck was truly one in a million a good driver engaged with the children and showed us everything we wanted to see including the Mara river crossing. He became part of our family and there were tears when we left. The accommodation was excellent and beyond our expectations. Would recommend to anyone these guys won't let you down

Couldn't have had a better service and a split of a more wonderful holiday
Mwema Africa Safaris is so organised when it comes to planning and actual service. The company did its best to make our 11 day trip with them an impeccable one. We felt we had 2 knowledgeable drivers/guides taking us around, from the very beginning to the very end. They spotted all sorts of animals and views for us. We even saw a rhino ;-) They gave us the opportunity to get to know them on a personal level too. We could share all sorts of ideas; from politics, education, cultures and so much more. Every single step of our journey was planned with all the necessary details. There wasn't any minute of our trip with Mwema that we felt at a loss. All questions we could ask even during the actual trip via Whatsapp. We had enough freedom to enjoy each others' company as 3 good friends travelling together, especially being the first time to Africa for us all. We used to be more impressed the more days passed with the way we were treated by Mwema. All accomodation booked for us was fine. Food was great. Service even more. I recommend Mwema to all those travelling to Africa and opting for any kind of safari. The drivers/guides are nice people with whom you can have a fantastic experience after all.

8 days safari towards Serengeti
I had very smooth email & whatsapp communication with Simon to detail a modest safari for two in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti (to the north). We covered hundreds of km with our driver/guide Goodluck Martin. I can recommend Mwema as a reliable operator and Goodluck as a friendly/professional guide. His driving skills also proved that we were on safe hands.

Excellent safari
We had an excellent safari. All arrangements were exactly as promised. Mr. Simon was very prompt in replying to our queries and clearing our doubts. Mr. Anthony, our driver and guide, was most helpful and made every effort to ensure that we saw sll the animals. We had three senior citizens and two young children with us and we did not face any problems.
