Wonderful driver
I wondered which company to choose but I think that itwas good to choose Mwema africa safari.
First of all, before traveling,the travel company sent me the contents properly by e-mail,the point of anxiety was eliminated.
Mr Buhembo , BMS SAFARIS LTD director of the company in Tanzania,was also very kind and thankfully ,it was made a fun trip.
Mr Fedrick ,driver and guide ,was a sincere person. He was good at finding animals and we were able to see the hunting
scene of the lion. When We go to Tanzania again, we'd like to ask Fedrick for our guide.

Unforgettable experiences in the national parks of Tanzania
At the end of 2017 we had a safari through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The safari was booked through Mwema and run by African Wonderland in Tanzania. The preparation over Simon In Nairobi worked perfectly. All questions and requests were clarified to the fullest satisfaction. We have seen many animals in these 5 days and made great photos. Willson, our driver was very networked and has always found places where animals were observed on the radio or mobile phone. The Mbalageti Lodge in Serengeti was just awesome. The cabins are located away from the main house, but at night you are brought by a security guard from and to the main building. Such a luxury of food and accommodation we had not expected in the Serengeti.
The drive by jeep from Lake Manyara to Mbalageti Lodge runs from east to west through the entire Serengeti. The roads are unpaved slopes. The one-hour drive in one direction was a real ordeal, because you are completely shaken and dusted. Whether we would take that again, I do not know. The many breakdown vehicles on the way were also not very encouraging. But our driver and his Jeep have brought us well to their destination.
Otherwise you have to be careful with the costs. On our bill was 6 days safari, but actually it was only 5. The 6th day consisted of a half-day drive back to Arusha. We had later booked the visit of a Massai village. That was interesting, but hardly any of the $ 50 that was taken for it arrived at the Maasai, because the Maasai was still putting pressure on us to buy overpriced handicrafts.
It was already a strange feeling to pay a 4-digit amount in advance and not to know, if then at the airport really someone to pick up. Everything worked out great for us.
Overall, the safari was definitely a unique experience that we will not forget.

Perfect 5 Day Safari in Tanzania
Me and my sister booked a 5 day safari, including Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
The contact with Simon before was very easy, he always responded quickly, via mail or whatsapp. Because we just booked two weeks in advance, we had to transfer half of the money which was a bit complicated with our bank, but Simon helped us a lot.
Included were all the fees for the park, 1 bottle of water per person per day and meals. You just have to pay extra for the tips, but that was ok for us. What you pay and what you get for this is more than fair, it was an amazing experience.
The day before the safari, when we arrived in arusha, simon told us that kevin and our guide come to our hotel for a short briefing. They made us feel welcome and comfortable.
Then the safari started. We payed the rest of the money in cash and then started off to Tarangire. Our Guide, Goodluck Martin, is like Simon said, one of the finest guides. And thats true.
Goodluck took care of us, asked what we want to see, he had so much knowledge about everything and we had such a fun time. He spotted many animals we even didnt see coming. We can just recommend him and his company.
So in total, all the accomodations were the perfect mix - from the lodge to the tented Angani Camp. We slept in the wild and this was an amazing experience. The food as well as the lunch boxes were always delicious, it couldnt have been any better.
Thanks so much for this incredible experience!

Excellent experience
My boyfriend and I went on a 4-day safari in Nakuru + Masai Mara. We can highly recommend Mwema! The company is very professional and has some of the best value for money we've seen.

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.
