Truly a once in a lifetime experience
We went to Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara for 3 nights altogether which was the perfect amount of time. You will see a vast quantity of animals (mores at Mara). We are so so lucky for choosing Mufasa Tours and Travels, their communication was second to none right from the beginning.
Our guide Kevin was one of the highlights of the trip. Your driver aka tour guide aka friend will really make or break your trip in my opinion. He was friendly, polite, considerate and extremely well read and wise. He spoke perfect English and had a lovely sense of humour. We were never once worried for our safety. He has a particular interest in birds which was very contagious! He knew where to find animals based on experience, and often worked together with other guides to find special sightings.
We saw the big 5 within 36 hours. We saw countless zebra, buffalo, wildebeest (we even saw the migration across the mara river), rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, lions, hyenas, cheetahs and a leopard (admittedly was hard to find)! We saw a few hunts and even a kill in the morning.
One thing we underestimated is how the terrain can be. It rained often in Mara (don't let this put you off- animals did not care) and as a result the tracks were very muddy. Kevin is an incredible driver, he knows exactly how to manage each track and which to avoid. We did not get stuck but saw many many other vehicles get stuck. Kevin helped 3 stuck vehicles across our trip.
Go with Mufasa Tours and Travels, ask for Kevin, you will have no regrets. Make sure to pack some warm clothes for the morning game drives. Unlimited water is provided. Kevin also had hand sanitiser for us for our picnics which was handy. A massive thank you to Mufasa tours company and a special thank you to Kevin.
We loved the sunrise game drives because of serenity and the light levels. Hunts were more common at this time too.

Excellent experience
We hired Musafa Tours for a private safari to Amboseli and Nairobi National Park as well as to the Elephant Orphanage. Nelson was our guide and he was exceptional! He knew all the right places to go to find the animals and was extremely knowledgeable. He was extremely reliable and we felt completely safe at all times. We loved our time with him throughout the tours. We saw everything on our list and I highly recommend him. Pascaline in the office was very prompt at getting back to me and very patient with all my questions and requests. Musafa Tours are wonderful, a good reputation with the high end hotels, reliable, good value and communicate well. I can highly recommend them.

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!
