Seamless trip
We have just been on a family safari for the first time and had found Mufasa online, so was a little nervous as it was our first time travelling to Africa. From the moment we landed in Nairobi the Mufasa team took excellent care of us, managing the transfers, hotels, luggage, dietary requirements and most of all an amazing safari tour. Colin was our tour guide who we had a great time with, he tailored the trip to what we wanted to see and was friendly and insightful. Highly recommend using Mufasa, they truly made it a memorable trip for us with high quality of service and most of all reliability and value for money was spot on! Will definitely be booking through them again soon!
Fantastic
Our daughter booked her and 2 friends on to a Safari using Mazingira and suggest both my wife and I join them, from the first email to Johari to the last transaction the communication was excellent everything we asked for was no trouble at all.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro airport we were greeted by Daniel our guide for the next 5 days he was very informative about the up and coming days and when we arrived at the lodge he was there to help with our booking in and stayed at the lodge for an hour to ensure everything was ok and we were happy, later that day he collected our daughter and her 2 friends from the airport and his service was just the same with the girls.
The safari lodges we stayed in where perfect the staff helpful and friendly, Daniel was an early riser and asked us to follow suit as he said you can see a lot more during the early morning and was he right we had stunning sunrise pictures, and seen all sorts of animals roaming, I swear Daniel can spot a fly on a zebra nose from ½ mile away he missed nothing and know all the best areas to view.
He had the awareness to shop at washrooms before we asked he ensured we had seats to sit on at the lunch stops all in all we cannot fault Daniel as a guide / driver I would be asking for him again if we return with friends and would be using Mazingira for our trip.
All in all his was our first Safari and I would like to thank Johari and Daniel for making it a life experience

Pleasant, communicative and nice
Communication was fast and good, every question, request was answered quickly. We went on a safari with Joseph which was very pleasant.
We found plenty of lions everywhere we went - this alone is an unforgettable and recommended experience.
The accommodations were excellent.
Recommends.

Amazing journey with Right Choice Safaris!
We are a group of 12 people with families and friends from China. We just had a very pleasant journey with Right Choice Safaris. Our guide Joshua and Ben are very knowledgeable, reliable and both have extreme good eyesight. We went to Masai Mara for the Migration and when we were not confident enough if we could see the crossing or not after waiting for 2 days, Joshua asked us to be patient and said the animals were ready. And we eventually saw it! Also when we were entangled with what to see and where to go in Masai Mara, Joshua always led the way. He suggested us to have 6am early morning game drive in Nakuru which we got the unforgettable morning mist over the lake like a fairytale! We stayed 2 nights at Amboseli Oltukai, 4 at Masai Mara Entim and Eden, 1 Nakuru Sarova, 1 Naivasha Sopa and 1 Mount Kenya Fairmont. All the hotels and services are very good. Impressed about the efficiency Kenya people have! Will come again!

Worst experience
I was overcharged, with an extra $600 that shouldn’t have been included. I booked a private tour but was almost put into a group tour instead. I signed up for three days of game drives, but only two were scheduled. After already paying for the transfer from Masai Mara to Nairobi, I was charged extra upon drop-off. The driver for the transfer from the hotel to the airport didn’t show up on time and there was no communication. None of the pre-booked arrangements were acknowledged until I provided evidence and pointed out the issues myself.
The only person who handled things professionally was Daniel, who guided us in Masai Mara. He was punctual, dedicated, and provided us with a truly memorable experience in the national park.

Easy, relaxed, packed full of animals
Summary: Just finished an 8 day tour with Zambezi, starting in Victoria Falls and ending in Maun. I was a solo female traveller.
Company: This company was very easy to work with and we communicated via email and by whatsapp. Response was fast and informative. I recommend at least one person in your group has whatsapp if you're like me and like to double check pick up times or any other details. Silence and Nomvula were great at responding to any little queries I had throughout the trip and even changing parts at the last minute.
Arrival: I arrived a day before my safari and Nomvula helped me organise something to do on my spare day. I ended up going to Hwange which was spectacular. I was picked up at the VF airport by Nkasi who also detoured to help me and the other passengers get some sim cards in town.
Victoria Falls: I did the sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi River with Francis, who is very witty and friendly. And finally in VF of course the safari included a tour of the falls themselves. Mr B was a great guide and I got lucky as it was just the two of us so we had a really great chat and stopped at all the animals to take photos.
Elephant Sands: was a great place to spend the night as you can eat your meals just 20m away from where the elephants are hanging out. I also found a gecko and some cool bugs out at night while walking back to my chalet. This is a good place to facetime your family so they can watch the elephants with you 😀
Chobe: In Botswana most of the time was spent at Chobe National Park. There were two days with a boat ride and a game drive each day, but Zambezi helped me swap one of the boat drives to a game drive as I think I liked them better. Chobe is very packed with animals you will definitely see lots there. I was lucky enough to see both lions AND a leopard, as well as stacks of elephants, giraffe, impala, buffalo, birds, etc.
Okavango: Poling through the Okavango Delta was gorgeous, and the walk afterwards is highly recommended as it was the closest you'll get to animals while on foot. Arnold was a great guide.
Highlights: the animals (leopard, lions, elephants especially!), the tight-knit Zambezi team, chatting with the guides
Tips: accept every bottle of water someone offers you, you'll drink them all! Bring small change for tips - each section of the safari is organised separately with a different guide so I foolishly brought $80 for an 8 day safari (following the $10usd/day guide) but this was not very useful for each individual activity! Book a safari with some free time to chill out or do other activities eg the boma dinner. Download whatsapp. Write notes of the animals you see as I found I was forgetting the names of things (especially the birds). Buffet meals are often better than meals where you order off a menu in my experience. Have fun!

If given the chance, I would pick him over and over again, humour, care, and responsiveness unmatche
My trip to massai mara with jocky torus was splendid, they keep to time, the services was top notch, I was even assisted by thr company beyond what I paid for. They made not just my experience in the safari worthwhile but extended the service to my entire stay in Kenya, my tour guide was phenomenal (Sir Charles Sharruq).
