Outstanding Safari Experience!
We recently embarked on a 9-day safari adventure in Kenya with Mufasa Tours and Travels, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Our guide, Kevin, deserves special recognition for making this journey unforgettable. From the moment we set foot in the wild, Kevin's outstanding knowledge of the local wildlife and birdlife left us in awe. His ability to spot and identify animals and birds was nothing short of remarkable.
Kevin was not only a superb guide but also an exceptional driver. His skills behind the wheel ensured that we had a safe and comfortable journey throughout our safari. His passion for the natural world was evident in every moment we spent with him.
We would highly recommend requesting Kevin as your guide when booking a safari with Mufasa Tours and Travels!

Exceeded expectations!
Mufasa tours is for sure the company to go for! From start to finish the process was made smooth. Pascaline helped with the endless emails despite time differences from Australia trying to organise our trip prior to arriving and she went above and beyond and found exactly what we wanted (: I was a little stressed leading up to the safari but after 3 days and 2 nights we could not have asked for a better experience to Masai Mara! We had Kephar as our tour guide and wow he’s incredible, so much knowledge about everything including the safari parks and animals, he made sure we saw the big 5! Which we did minus the rhinos (we saw them in Nakuru) he went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after, the safari truck was pleasantly comfortable and we felt safe and secure the entire time! I will be re booking again in the future and can’t wait to go again,

Unforgettable experience !
For the whole organisation I was contacting Polly, where she always replied to me on time and was very specific and detailed with all the information.
We had two drivers Tony and Kephar who were very nice people. They were always on time, very understanding and did the best to have the best safari experience ever. They provided us always the information that we needed for the animals and did the best to see the big 5.
We did Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Nivasha. The food and accommodations were excellent as well as the people there.
I would definitely recommend Mufasa tour if you would like to have one of the best Safari experience ever!

Best Safari Experience
We did a group Safari with 22 Family members and Joel helped us to customize the whole Trip to accomodate our wishes. He was very responsive and helpful with all the crazy questions we had and very patient with us.
We totally went blind when we booked with Mufasa, we read their reviews, asked for quotation and went for it, and it was the best decision we made.
By Mufasa the small guests are also Welcomed. We had 2 Babies on Board the Jeeps and on request they Provided us with carseats for them which was very practical as the Babies could also experience and discover the animals.
We got the best of tour guides, Muturi, Leonard and Kephar. They are a gem. Their knowledge of the animals was impressive. They are kind and friendly. Full of humor and made this whole trip memorable. They made sure we get to see the Big Five in Maasai Mara and Rhinos in Lake Nakuru. They made sure we enjoyed every single moment.
We went as a family and they won’t stop praising about the experience. Apart from that they are very helpful to other drivers who are in trouble... Like pulling others out when stuck, helped Others to Change their burst tires... These actions spoke millions.
In Maasai Mara we spent 2 nights at Enkorok mara camp, it was a nice experience in the tents. The staff were friendly and the Food was delicious. In Lake Nakuru we stayed at the Lake Nakuru Lodge for 1 night and all was also very nice.
We met as strangers but left as friends.
Lovely Mufasa Family.
MUFASA is without a doubt the best choice we Made.

Very good tour operator
Spent 6 days on safari with Mufasa. The driver Nelson was a phenomenal guide. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the all animals we saw. He even knew where the animals liked to hide away during all the safari drives. He was even able to point out a leopard hiding up in a tree. Mufasa was very quick to respond to my messages and was always helpful answering any questions I had. Each of the rooms booked by Mufasa had very good views into the surrounding nature and the food was pretty good at each of the lodges. I’m very happy with the experience.

Very accommodating in a busy season to find a tour that exceeding our expectations.
Excellent communications from the booking staff who found solutions, I appreciated the quote process and the options provided. Tour value was fair. Accommodations were beautiful and received excellent service. Enjoyed getting to know our guide and felt he worked hard to ensure we had an amazing experience in the Mara and Nakuru. I’d do it again.

Unforgettable experience
We were looking for the best quality-value option and contacted many safari operators. The way Mufasa Safari responded (they provided detailed guidance, suggested different options to suit our needs and were always patient) and especially the professional approach of Polly convinced us to go ahead with Mufasa. We were lucky to have very experienced guide David (all other drivers we encountered seem to rely on his advice) who arranged everything perfectly during our trip, he also shares interesting facts about animals and helped us with any extras we wanted. And the main thing - he really knows where to find all animals in the parks! The lodges we chose with help of Polly were amazing. They even prepared various surprises for our anniversary, when we just mentioned this upon booking (thanks to Polly for picking this up!). We would definitely recommend booking your safari with Mufasa!

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.

Fantastic
Booked a 5-day solo safari trip with Mufasa Tours a couple months in advance. Caroline made the process very easy and was informative in providing details and answering questions. I was picked up at the Nairobi airport by my guide Julius in a land cruiser and off we went. Over the 5 days we hit Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, and Maasai Mara. Each day was amazing and it only got better as the week went on. Julius was fantastic and I could not have asked for a better guide. He is well experienced having done tours for many years and was extremely pleasant to be around. He provided many interesting facts on the things we came across and played Kenyan hip-hop and reggae in the lengthy car rides which was a great vibe. The very first day, we saw 4 of the Big 5 (excluding the cheetah, which we saw the second day). Throughout the week, we saw all of the safari animals (too many to list!) besides the kudu, which resides in different regions than what we visited. A few of the countless highlights from each park:
- Ol Pejeta: Pet the blind rhino Baraka, chimpanzee chased another playfully with a giant sharp stick
- Lake Nakuru: A few thousand flamingos clustered at the lake, young lion cub that looked like Simba
- Maasai Mara: jackal hunting a baby gazelle while the mother successfully distracted it, crocodiles feasting and fighting over a dead wildebeest, leopard feasting on its kill in a tree, wildebeests/zebras river crossing
The final day, in the Maasai Mara, I was able to witness what I was most looking forward to, the Great Migration. We drove among massive herds which numbered in the tens of thousands and stretched for miles. It was a truly fascinating and magical experience which I will never forget, being among the sheer numbers of wildebeests and zebras. By the end of the tour, I had seen so many animals that I did not even do a double take when passing an elephant or giraffe. If you are at all interested in wildlife, enjoy the zoo, or watch Animal Planet, the safari experience is one you cannot miss!
