Magical Kenya
Beautiful wildlife and landscapes in Masai Mara. We got to see the Big five animals. Beautiful ake nakuru and Naivasha. The kenyan hospitality very good , the roads are in ad condition most of the way to Masai Mara from Nairobi, only few km are paved. Accommodation in the lodge near the Masai Mara park was very good. Very memorable experience.

Once In A Lifetime Dream Come True!
Our trip was amazing!
We told Mufasa Tours what areas we'd like to see and they put it together for us.
Our guide, Boniface (Otis), could not have been more pleasant and knowledgeable. He had us ' in the know' at all times and allowed us to call the shots if we desired. The scenery was phenomenal, the lodges were just about perfect and, again, Otis was such a delight and attentive!
Two suggestions we have, would be that, during the initial communications with Mufasa Tours, they could have suggested various options to shorten our travel times to and from our destinations. Visiting a new country and not being familiar with terrain etc, has a profound impact on needing a 'professional weigh in'. This would have curtailed less back & forth time and allowed for an additional visit to the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, etc. Also, the stops on the way through the various towns seemed more touristy and less for African memorabilia. We found the same items throughout our 4 destinations, some at lesser costs, and I would have preferred to come home with truer Native African made items.
Other than that, our trip was pretty perfect and it was one that we will always be grateful for!
Thank you Otis for all of your hard work!!!!

Good experience
I joined the tour alone. First day, they didn’t come waiting place until meeting time. I waited in the lobby more than 1 hour and half.
However totally it was good. Staffs are friendly and the cost is not bad.

Very good tour with Anthony
Very good budget tour. Very nice communication in advanced with Susan. Excellent tourguide and driver Anthony. He did everything possible for us to see the animals. Nice car and camp, too.
Just the manager of the camp was unfriendly but this was not the fault of the agency. I can really recommend this tour.

Great Safari, crappy car which cause troubles
It was great safari experience we booked with Migration Ventures Africa LTD, during short period of time we got see almost all animals from very close distance (like next to the car)
However the car was '92 Land Cruiser which couldnt start even before the trip (need a push to start) and with that we took 400km ride from DAR to Mikumi park. So things wouldnt be bad but on the way back our car broke down and we spent 5 hours in the sun with no food waiting for it to be fixed. We had to hurry to the airport for our flights (connecting ones!) and were complete freaking out we're not gonna make it. There was no back up plan or any plan to get us another car - just expectation for miracle to happen.
It did happen and we happilly made it to the airport but honestly, you should not risk it that way.
Other than that experience was really authentic and cool so I would recommend getting to the part by plane (not 8 hours or more drive) and enjoy the show. Or at least dont plan it just before the flight...

Loved the crater and Serengeti, so unique and so full of animals.
We have been to Africa a number of times, but a few things stood out and were unique about Tanzania - we really enjoyed our family trip.
The features of the Ngorongoro crater and the vibe down there were once in a life time. Absolutely teaming with animals and we saw lions feasting on their kill. It was a highlight just to stand on the rim and look down at this unique geological feature.
The vastness and amount of animals in the Serengeti. We did see the migration crossing, but on the Mara side we experienced some quiet peaceful Africa too.
The itinery that Wayfairer put together was perfect and the accomodation mostly perfect too. We especially enjoyed the 2 Serengeti camps - Chaka Camp and Kati Kati camp. Wayfairer were quick to react to our requests.
Unfortunately the guide we had during the 8 days was not great, a contrast to the overall friendly and fun loving local people, we enjoyed that interaction. One thing did bother us, which I have not seen elsewhere in Africa, is the amount of vehicles that will crowd around animals, kills, crossings, literally stopping the dynamics of the crossing. There seems no respect or protocol and it did put us off.
Otherwise, wonderful trip.

Very much satisfied
Everything was good. Only next time we would like to do lion tracking after sunset.
