Absolutely incredible and would recommend
I booked with Mufasa tours and did a custom trip going to hells gate, Crescent Island and the Masai Mara.
I would absolutely recommend Mufasa tours for a few reasons. Their communication is next level and Caroline who is the main contact is exceptional. She is very responsive and will help in anyway she can, she is very accessible. She created a custom tour for me at a reasonable price. The lodges I stayed at were incredible ( I highly recommend Zebra plains if offered, it is stunning). The jeep was in excellent condition and there was plenty of water.
My guide Moses was excellent and did his best to spot animals. He was a joy to spend three days with.
This company is clearly well experienced, is reputable, has an actual office, is responsive and available and I felt safe travelling as a solo female.
My family is planning a Safari in 2025 and I will be recommending them to book with and plan a luxury tour.
No concerns and no negative comments

Great Experience with Mufasa Tours
We had an amazing 6 day trip to Kenya from July 12th till 17th through Mufasa Tours & Travels. I had sent an enquiry by email to Mufasa Tours and Polly at Mufasa office responded fast clarifying all our doubts and gave us a tailor made package.
We did Masaimara, Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. We were fortunate to see the great migration and also the big 5 of Africa. We saw the Lions, Elephants, Buffaloes and Leopard in Masaimara and the Rhinos in Nakuru. We spotted different types of birds, Flamingos and Hippos in Lake Naivasha.
Our guide Michael was wonderful, he made us feel very comfortable explained everything in detail and he took much effort to spot animals. We were lucky to have Michael as our guide.
In our experience, we felt if anyone is planning to visit Kenya they can plan Masaimara for 3 nights (2 full day game drives required) from there early morning to Nakuru and spent a day and night halt at Lake Naivasha. From there to Samburu National Park. If you want to see a great picture perfect view of Mount Kilimanjaro then need to visit Amboseli National Park.
We had used a Landcruiser from Mufasa, had seen many Mufasa vehicles while travel and I felt all Mufasa vehicles are well maintained and perfect for safaris. I strongly recommend Mufasa for your Kenyan Safari.

Dedicated Guides
Found out about Mufasa Tours through a friend referral and the experience did not disappoint one bit! Nelson was a wonderfully dedicated and knowledgeable guide who would go above and beyond to ensure you have a comprehensive experience. He was professional, caring and accommodating with the schedule and brought me on an incredibly fun 7-day adventure exploring the vast beauty that the safaris had to offer. I would highly recommend Mufasa Tours as the guides are truly passionate about what they do and what they stand for.

Don’t think twice, go ahead and book them.
Right from the beginning, polly helped us with giving us the best options, very responsive and helpful with all the crazy questions I had, she was very patient with me. Accommodated all my requests. I totally went blind when I booked Mufasa, I read their reviews and went for it, and it was the best decision I made.
I got the best of tour guides, Colin and Kephar. They both are a gem. They are very experienced and made this whole trip memorable. They made sure we get to see the big 5’s, very kind and friendly. Full of humor. They made sure we are enjoying. We went with family, and my family won’t stop praising about the experience.
We met as strangers but left as friends.
Lovely people. Mufasa is undoubtedly the best choice I made.

Exceptional tour company
We have an amazing time with Mufasa Tours and Travels, everything was well organized and exceeded my expectation. Even before the start of the 5 day tour Polly made sure all my questions were answered with satisfactory replies. She made a very good itinerary for us packed with so much activities. The camp recommendations were also spot on. It gave me great comfort to know that I opted for the best tour company as this was my first safari trip and I wanted to be perfect for me and my family. They arranged for airport pick up and drop off and John & James were always before time.
Our guide for the next five days met us next morning. Collin was our guide for our 3-day Masai Mara safari. He was amazing! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife. He made sure we saw the Big Five and many other animals. He also told us interesting facts and stories about the animals and their behaviour. He was born in the Mara and everyone knew him and also he was guiding and helping other drivers. He made friends with everyone. He was always on time, courteous and respectful. He drove safely and smoothly on the rough roads. He has a very good eye for the photography and gave many tips to get the perfect capture. He made sure our kids 7 and 10 were comfortable throughout the 5 days and tend to all their needs as well. We had a wonderful time with him and we highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable safari experience.

Safari Kenya December 2022
We were travelling with mufasa from the 5th to the 14th of December 2022.
We took a private tour with them in a van including a night in Nairobi for relaxing and a safari in tsavo west and east, amboseli, lake navasha and lake nakuru and the last stop was the masai mara.
How were the game drives by their Professional and skilled guide Odhis?
Odhis was a very good driver. We felt very safe with him on the roads and during the game drives he was always finding the best spot for taking pictures of the animals while being also very respectful with them, giving them space and leaving them alone after some time.
He was able to explain also some things about the life and habitat of the animals and he explain also some things about culture and politics in Kenya.
We were also always agreeing three day before the schedule of the next day. We would recommend Odhis to any of you!
How were the camps we provided during the trip?
We took the middle range category and all the camps were great. Service and food were amazing in all of them and the facilities were really beautiful, being able to enjoy wildlife from the window or from the swimming pool.
How did you love our services in general from start to end and communication-wise?
Since we contact Joshep for information about the safari, communication was very smooth. He was answering our questions and providing us with the requested information. He came im person to the hotel, the night before the tour started for breafing us about the tour and get paod. Everything what was written in the email was done during the tour. However we had to modify the planning of the last day and divide it into the las two days since it would have been impossible to complete everything in just one day taking into account the long distances between one park and another. This is maybe the only negative point about this part.
Did we meet your expectations?
Our expectations were met by far! Everything worked as agreed since the moment we arrived into Nairobi Airport. We were able to see all big fives several times, from many perspectives and in a lot of different situations so we loved it.
The only thing we would maybe modify is to plan some relaxing afternoons in the hotel instead of so many game drives since at the end it is a lot ot time in the car which make the trip a little bit exhausting.
All in all we really enjoyed the service, quality and honesty of Mufasa Tours. If we would make a Safari in Kenya again we would repeat with them for sure.
Thanks a lot to Odhis and Joseph!!

A perfect safari
All perfect! We booked our first safari by choosing it on safaribooking and looking at the reviews of the agencies on tripadvisor! Musafa was a really great choice and we recommend it!
We went on a 7 days private couple safari with 4x4 van with route: Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara!
Joseph was precise and professional in his email communication!
Our guide Collin was great! Kind, nice, he speaks many languages including Italian! He do everything to allow us to have a perfect and unforgettable safari for us and thanks to him we were able to see many animals including all the big five!
Collin was precise, punctual, professional and experienced driving the most bumpy roads in the park!
We stayed at Sentrim Amboseli, Sentrim Elementaita and Mara Chui Resort. All very nice, good and safe food!

Unforgettable experience
Our tour guide named Nelson was a well experienced driver and has a good luck in spotting animals!
We were able to see the Big five (except Rhinos) and many other wild animals in a day!
A lion approached to our van and lied under the shade of our van. It was so close that we could almost touch the lion!(of course we didn’t though!)
The camp we stayed was Loyk Mara Camp.
Full of hospitality and beautiful clean facility.
We can’t thank more for making our first Maasai Mara trip so memorable.
Our tour operator Joel was also great. He replied to my email promptly and the communication was smooth! Thanks!!

Best tour
Nelson was cheerful, kind and very experienced. We could see almost all the animals we could see in Masai Mara in one day. Nelson is a great guide.
