Reviews
Colin was very professional, generous with his information, highly committed we saw everything!
I would strongly recommend Mufasa tours and travels to anyone who would want the ultimate experience of wild life, especially Colin who was out tour guide and the one driving us; we had an absolutely great time with him he was very generous with his information and such a great company with positive spirits, he just made the whole thing an absolutely unforgettable experience.
Mufasa tours and travels have made a great program for us and timing was always spot on with Colin: picking us up from the hotel in Nairobi to Masai Mara he has have taken care of everything from the hotel to the game drive to even our lunch packed for the days we stayed out late for the game drive, the game drive was fantastic we got to see the big five animal in the wild and we also saw a double kill! : 2 Cheetahs haunted and Zebra and then the lioness came for them to take on the Zebra while the cheetahs ran off, it was Amazing to see it and Colin was so nice to always make sure we see it all from the best views allowing us to take the best photos
We then went to lake Nakuru as part of our program to see the flamingos and the rhinos and saw Cubs too! And the water falls was fantastic
Then we went to lake Nivasha and this is where we got to experience walking next to animals like Giraffes and taking great pictures, from the point it was time to say goodbye and Colin dropped us off in the airport, he was the best and the whole experience was worth every penny

Mufasa stands for super organized and excellently executed safaris
Even the booking of the safari and the contact with mufasa were organized in an absolutely professional manner. Polly from mufasa was always available and answered all my questions in no time. I really felt that I was in good hands.
The driver/guide, his name is Kephar, who took me through the safari was simply unbeatable. With a lot of patience and perseverance, he gave me the most beautiful experiences with the wildlife in Amboseli NP and Tsavo West and East NP during our 5-day safari .
With his friendly nature and positive attitude, he did a lot to make the safari an unforgettable experience for me.
Thank you Polly and Kephar!!!

Amazing Safari - highly recommended!
We booked a 7 days Southern Savannah Safari at Mufasa Tours and it was incredible! We visted Amboseli + Maasai Village, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakura and the magnificent Maasai Mara - fully customised within our budget. Four different areas of Kenya = 4 different experiences.....AMAZING!
From the start at booking our trip, our contact person at Mufasa, Joseph, responded very accurate and fast on questions, which gave us a very thrustworthy feeling. Thank you Joseph!
A very, very big thank you to our driver Charles...it's thanks to him that we experienced our trip as 'the best holiday ever', it was beyond our expectations. Charles was very good company, an excellent driver and a very skilled and professional guide. His knowledge about the animals is enormous and we saw so many. We were even fortunate to see an attempt attack of 9 female lions to a group of buffalo's. We learned and saw so much these 7 days, it's almost impossible to describe. It was an incredible experience and Mufasa Tours is highly recommended!

Incredible Safari with Mufasa Tours
What an incredible trip with Mufasa Tours and Travel!!
First I will say our guide, Colin, was fantastic throughout the whole journey and made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times! Colin went above in beyond along to safari to find and get the best views of all the animals!
Additionally, communication with Joseph to chose and set up the tour was very easy and smooth. No hiccups along the way!
Our party of four did a 6 day tour, visiting Amboseli, Lake Naivisha and Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. There is such diversity between the parks: Aboseli - a desert, Lake Naivisha - lush jungle like lands and Maasai Mara - grasslands! I recommend hitting all 3! We chose the Mid-Range 2 package which was great for us.
Joseph and Colin met us at the airport for payment and Colin drove us from the airport to our stay at the Kibo Safari Camp at Amboseli which was beautiful! After two days of a spectacular safari, we drove back past Nairobi to Lake Naivisha where we did a short boat ride, seeing Hippos and then a walking tour where we were within feet from giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and impalas! The boat ride and walking tour were an extra fee but I think it was money well spent to see the animals so close up and to break up the long drive to lake Nakuru.
We finished the day with a game drive in the lush park of lake Nakuru where we stayed the night at Nakuru Sopa Lodge, a very luxurious resort over looking the park!
The next day we drove to Maasai Mara staying at the Mara Sopa lodge nearby. On the safari, we saw every animal you could think of and we came within feet of lions and cheetahs! On the last day, we toured a Maasai village to learn about their culture and way of life! Worth the $20 per person!
Overall an incredible experience with Mufasa Tours that I would recommend to anyone!

Friendly, well organized and great value for money
We'll never forget our 5 days in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Thanks to Joel, it was very easy for us to organize this and everything went exactly as we planned, and even exceeded our expectations. Amazing safari and sceneries were even better with our guide Patrick who seemed just excited about the game drives as we were. He went out of his way to show us all the beauty of both places and accommodate our preferences. On top of that, he made game drives, and the ones between the places, more fun, talking to us not just about animals and plants (which he was very knowledgeable of), but about life and Kenya in general, always polite and with a smile on his face, making us feel very comfortable and really immersed in this once in a lifetime experience.

What a great adventure!
Me and my wife decided to go for a safari based on the price and internet reviews of the operators and we picked Mufasa. And it was a great pick!
First and foremost - Nelson. This guy is a treasure. He has gone above and beyond in order to show us all the animals and get my wife the best possible (photo) shots (to quote Nelson). He was able to spot the animals (mostly in the places I would never expect them to be) and he always made sure we see them too. And he is very knowledgeable too - I got quite many “fun facts” to impress people with once we will be showing them those amazing pictures my wife took :)
Yes, driving in Kenya would be a challenge for a westerner. But worry not - there are guys like Nelson, who, on one hand, would get you safely where you need to be and will make sure you do not spend the whole day on the route. We have been traveling in a minibus - in case you wonder it was totally fine and I can recommend. Only once we wished we had had an SUV, when crossing a river. If you read this sentence again you will know that if in doubts, you will be totally fine with a minibus.
Nelson also made sure we always had enough time for traveling and resting. Yes, this means you will have to wake up early, but hey, guess when the animals are the most active:)
Nelson was great, and so was Mufasa. Everything went as we’ve agreed with them on. We paid in dollars with a card, no additional surcharge was added in case you wonder, so you do not need a pile of banknotes. They got us some great souvenirs, which we took home and we are showing off with that. On top, they also helped us buy train tickets to Mombasa (it is not that easy!) and organized a hotel transfer in Mombasa (much cheaper vs what the hotel offered us). An optional part of the safari trip is a visit to the Maasai village - go if you want to, but you will be equally fine skipping it. Fortunately, this is optional.
Hotels were also good - in case you wonder, they look exactly as in the pictures. We had those mid range facilities and we’ve been very happy with all of those. Clean rooms, good food and additional attentions (ever seen a hippo from the window? ;) ).
All in all - highly recommended! Mufasa is a great choice. What can they do better? Clone Nelson :)
Dear fellow tourists - mind my words - you will be satisfied:)

Fantastic 10 day Kenya tour
My partner and I just returned from a 10 day/9 night safari to 5 different parks (Amboseli, Tsavo East, Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara). Right from the start Joel made the planning process incredibly easy. He was so helpful at arranging our itinerary so we could make the most of our time. Originally we had this trip booked for January of 2022 but since Covid flared up again, we decided to reschedule for September and Joel easily made that happen.
For the 10 days we were with our guide/driver, Kephar and he was so lovely! He was very knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions, and had incredible driving skills! All 5 of our stops were so different and had something special to offer, we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Our accommodations were all very comfortable with nice meals. This was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Patrick is the best!!!
Patrick was a fantastic guide! Definitely worth taking a private tour and being with your family or friends. I saw the big five and I also saw the river crossing of the great migration and a credit this all to Patrick.
