Professional, experienced and dedicated to providing a first class experience.
From the outset Mufasa Tours provided quick and clear communication. Travelling as a solo female traveller this gave me confidence that they were a professional tour operator.
This impression continued throughout my four days with my experienced, knowledgable and fun guide Nelson. This was my first time on Safari and he made the trip unforgettable - ensuring I saw all the big 5 and more while adapting the itinerary to make the best use of time and conditions. The accommodation (Saranova Mara and Saranova Lion Hill) were excellent and I loved that they served such fresh local produce with a focus on sustainability in the camps.
All round a 5* experience. I will definitely be recommending to others and hope to return one day to see more of beautiful Kenya.

Unforgettable experience
I had opted for the 5 day safari tour with Mufasa, it was an unforgettable experience. Joel who was communicating with me through emails and calls made sure I had all the information. Their selection of hotels, camps and vehicle everything is perfect. Hotel locations were amazing as one of them were in the national park. Alvin was my guide for the whole tour, he was polite, well informed, absolutely punctual and would always find the perfect place to stop the van so that we would have the best spot to watch and photographt animals. He was well versed in English. Thanks to his efforts, I got to all big five and many other wildlife. He is well aware of all the resevers and park which were part of the package and drove around like a pro. He is also a good bird watcher which was an added bonus as it came handy in Lake Nakuru National Park. Vechle condition was also pretty good. Overall a Good wholesome experience.

Absolutely amazing adventure!
Booking my safari seemed like a daunting and overwhelming task but it could not have been easier thanks to Mufasa Tours and Travels. I had so many questions and Joseph responded to every single query with such speed and kindness. We could not have had the wonderful experience we had without the skills and services of our amazing guide and driver Joe! His knowledge, care, and absolute skill at finding animals on our drives and maneuvering the rough and rugged Maasai Mara in our huge tank of a Land Cruiser made every day more memorable and enjoyable than the last. Never mind the 4 days safari I booked, I wanted it to go on for 40 days! The customer service between Mufasa and our selected game reserve hotel was the icing on the safari cake too, as we were upgraded to a bigger room upon check in and received a surprise birthday celebration our last day! The care that everyone had in making sure our vacation was special and wonderful seemed so effortless—I will always be so grateful to Mufasa Tours and Travels for making my safari (something I’ve wanted to take my entire life) even better than I ever could’ve imagined it could be. Asante sana for going above and beyond in every aspect of this journey. Cheers to the next one!

Poor experience
We didn’t have a good experience with this tourist operator.
First they offer a guide Spanish spoken and it wasn’t true, the guide just know some words in Spanish so our communication was so complicated.
We bought the safari 5 day, in the service description they include two days safari at the Masai Mara (including some hours at the 5th day) and our guide said, no the last day is just for go back to Nairobi, we had to show him the description of the service to had the complete service.

Perfect honeymoon safari in Kenya!
There is so much I could say about our wonderful safari in Kenya for our honeymoon but will try to keep it brief. Our tour guide Nelson was the most lovely, funny, bubbly, knowledgeable man who looked after us from start to finish. He has so much experience and knows endless amount not just about the animals but the parks, lodges and Kenya itself. Our happiness was clearly paramount to him and we felt like he put us first every single day, determined to see as many different animals in different situations as possible. and boy did we see a ton of animals! We could not have imagined the wonderful close encounters we would get to have with these amazing creatures.
We opted for the luxury option as it was our honeymoon which means staying at the more premium lodges. We started off in the Amboseli lodge which had an authentic safari feel to it. We enjoyed close encounters with wild monkeys while staying here in the gardens. The next lodge we stayed at was The Cliff in Lake Nukuru, which literally took our breath away. It was the most luxurious lodge overlooking the lake and was stunning. The last lodge was Entim in Masai Mara which again was incredible. You overlook the famous Masai river where the great migration takes place each year. While I was reading in the garden a giraffe wandered over and I once again got to share a private, beautiful moment with one of these wild animals.
The food at Amboseli was buffet style and was nice enough. However the food at The Cliff and Entim is a changing menu each day and it was DIVINE. I am a very fussy eater and can't believe how much I liked the food.
We also added on the hot air balloon ride with a champagne breakfast. This was such a fun experience having never done one before. And a lovely way to see the animals from a different view while floating through the sky. The breakfast in the bush was lovely and they are very generous with the champagne!
Overall I could not recommend this tour (and especially tour guide Nelson) enough! You do not have to worry about a thing while you are with them, everything is taken care of and communicated clearly to you. It's really good value for money and highly reliable. Do not hesitate and book! It really was a once in a lifetime experience and one we will cherish forever!
THANK YOU NELSON!
