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.
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!

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.

Everything worked great exce[t for a small confusion on airport arrival.
I had excellent contact prior to arrival, and good understanding of personal needs and problems with Simon.
Pretty well everything worked out as planned and in a timely fashion. Mwema people did all that was expected and then some. I would certainly go with them again, and commend all involved.

Adventure in Africa
Simon's organisation, communication and knowledge ensured that my two safaris were simply amazing. His attentive nature via Whatsapp completely affirmed the fact that I had made the correct decision after choosing to book with him. He provided a variety of different and detailed quotes as my requirements changed. He then ensured everything ran smoothly before, during and after our collection by the drivers.
I'll be back in East Africa next year and will undoubtedly use his services again.

since de begining excellente
Every thing was very good, since the atencion of giving prices with Mr. Simmon until
going there, the hotels the food the gide the ca every thing excelent.
For me the only thing, to change the information was tha the climp de hike of Kilimanjaro
it was not easy there ae 9 km to go up and then 9 to go down the same day
so you need certain clothes shoes and information about it. That is not so easy as you mention
in your letters

A truly amazing trip, with no issues just greatness!
Back in January this year our family started planning its biggest (and most costly) trip ever. A safari in Africa has been a dream of mine and we wanted to do it the right way, especially since travelling with our two daughters, aged 8 and 9. We found SafariBookings and contacted few companies, explaining our needs and requirements. Simon from Mwema Africa Safaris was one of them and was really responsive and helpful and we decided to work with them. From the beginning of the planning until the end of the trip, Simon was highly helpful, respective of our needs, questions and fears, and always returned our emails or whatapps messages very swiftly and kindly. He found the right Camps and flights, within budgets and needs, organized our stay there and gave very detailed descriptions and itineraries for our 5 days in Kenya.
At our arrival at Nairobi airport, James from Mwema was waiting for us and gave us information while driving us to our hotel and was there on time the morning after to drive us to the airport for our safari trip. Everything went exactly as planned in Amboseli and Maasai Mara National Parks (so beautiful and beyond any expectations - we even saw all Big 5's in the Maasai Mara) and we were greeted by him again at the end of our trip and driven to the Nairobi airport for our flight back.
I can only strongly recommend Simon and Mwema Africa Safaris for a personalized trip, organized based on your needs and budget. Our family had the time of their life and the fact that we didn't have to care about details, only enjoy our stay, and were in total confidence with the planning made it even more memorable.
Thank you Simon and your team for making this dream a reality with lasting memories!
Excellent service, very responsive to clients needs/requests, good pricig
Mwema offers competitive pricing with different levels of accommodations offered.
I communicated with Simon. He is very responsive, helpful, and genuine.
I told them what i wanted to do and what my budget is, he would do his best to meet my requests.
Despite many changes i had made to the itinerary prior to the trip, Simon was never upset or gave up on me.
Would definitely recommend Mwema (especially Simon)!
Thank you so much. Our trip was a trip of a lifetime.
Absolutely first class, best of 4 safaris we have been on
Despite Jambo Airlines attempt to mess it up by breaking their plane at Ukanda we were able to contact the owner late on a Saturday to alter our plans. Our guide, Anthony, was excellent both as a safe driver (rare in Kenya), an on the spot repair man and finder of the big 5 and a lot more. We did the Aberdares/Samburu/Meru/Ol Pejeta safari. All was good but I would have preferred to have swapped the Aberdares for an extra day in Meru. Meru is a delight and should be visited by many more people and the Ikweta safari camp picked by Mwema was a gem. You can never promise Leopards but 3 in one day in Samburu was the pick of the holiday (excepting our daughters wedding that is!!!).
