Great Family Safari
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.

Good experience
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!

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

Great safari
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.

Good but some obvious improvements
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.

A great well organized and managed safari
Mwema organized a nine day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Various lakes and game reserves. The driver/guides were extremely well informed,very responsible and courteous. They took us to the exact places where the wild animals were,including all the big five, and a lion kill etc.We are totally satisfied with them. The camps are surprisingly very modern and guarded by Masai quite safe. In one camp I had a hippo walking one meter near my head in the night. Non-vegetarian food was very good, vegetarian could be better. All in all an absolutely wonderful experience.
