Excellent Safari with Colin
We booked our first trip to Africa with Mufasa based on a recommendation and were absolutely thrilled. We did a 7 day safari; Amboseli - Lake Naivasha - Nakuru - Maasai Mara
Caroline's organization worked extremely well and left no wishes or questions unanswered. Thank you for this, Caroline!
We were picked up in Nairobi by our guide Colin and the safari started 😁
On the trip to Amboseli Park he gave us a lot of information about the country, the people and the animals. A perfect introduction!
Colin was an absolutely confident driver; Some of the paths were a challenge, but Colin never let himself be put off and drove us completely safely. He is a cheerful guide with incredible knowledge of his country and the animals. We had so many questions about a variety of topics and he left none unanswered.
His instinct for the right time and the right place surprised and delighted us every day. We saw so many animals, almost a matter of course, that of course the Big Five were there😉
Colin also had a great eye for wonderful photo motifs - we are already looking forward to creating a photo book!
The lodges we booked were perfect across the board. The locations were fantastic and there were very nice, friendly and helpful staff everywhere - we have rarely experienced that.
The itinerary was perfect for us. It was exactly right at the time.
We would like to thank Colin from the bottom of our hearts for making the safari an unforgettable experience for us. Asante sana, Colin!!!

A Safari Adventure to Remember
I am writing this review for Mufasa Tours and Travels two months after coming back to my home country. And to state it briefly, my one-week safari experience over the Christmas and New Year period 2023/2024 left me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the wildlife of the African savannah.
Our safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania was 20 days in total for my parents, while I joined them in the middle of the tour for 10 days. Every detail, from accommodation arrangements to game drives, was well planned by Mufasa Tours and Travels, ensuring a hassle-free and enjoyable trip. While the price tag was on the higher side, the impeccable organization and exceptional service made it well worth every penny.
What truly elevated our experience was our passionate guide, Moses. His enthusiasm for the wildlife was infectious and he was extremely experienced at his job, taking us to places where we would get a higher chance to see wildlife while being respectful of the park rules. The vehicle was well-maintained and cleaned every day to our amazement, and safety precautions were consistently observed, so we really felt in good hands with him.
The camps and lodges selected by the company were all very comfortable and immersed us in the heart of the wilderness. Our only negative critique would be that the lodge where we stayed at in the Serengeti National Park was quite far from where the wildlife was for that period of the year. Our other regret is that we only had one full day in the Serengeti, so we had a long drive that day from the lodge to get to the wildlife and the game viewing itself felt comparatively short. If your schedule allows it, I recommend staying at least 2 full days in that immense park.
One incident highlighted the exceptional customer service we received during our safari. My luggage did not arrive with me when I landed in Nairobi but was lost during my transit. Joel and the Mufasa staff went above and beyond to assist me, calling the airline and making trips to the airport to inquire about my luggage. In the end, as it was the holiday period, my luggage took many days to be located and could not be delivered to me as I was constantly moving to different areas, but they ensured that it was delivered to my departure airport. Their dedication to resolving the issue really allowed me and my family to focus on our holidays and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife without any worries and I am deeply grateful to them for that.
In conclusion, our tour with Mufasa Tours and Travels was a top-notch safari experience. If we get an opportunity to go on another safari, maybe during the Great Migration season, we will book with Mufasa Tours and Travels again!

Amazing 5-days safari experience!
The contact with Mufasa Tours was great from the very beginning - quick replies and all questions were answered in a detailed way (thanks, Maryanne!). The guide Patrick Ndura was super professional, punctual and had a great knowledge about the animals (and knew, where to find them :))
So it was a great unforgetteable experience - I can highly recommend it!

A Safari beyond our expectations
We travelled 6 days and seen all the animals we hoped to see and more. Reasonable pricing, good accommodations, good safari car, and exceptional driver guide (Tony)! We would definitely recommend!
