Excellent service worth every cent
We were looking for a reasonably priced safari and we found Mufasa offer. From the very first contact with Caroline from Mufasa we knew the choice was just what we needed. Sharp, clear, to the point, very efficient, provided the offer that met our needs and requirements. We went on the safari tour with Joseph as our driver-guide, and I must say there could not be a better choice. Driving in Kenya is not easy and Joseph was an excellent driver, safe and careful. He offered vast knowledge of the country, parks, animals, plants. During game drives he showed us much more than we expected. He became not just a driver-guide but a dear friend of my wife and I. Thanks to him we were able to see and learn much more than we expected and we were sorry to say goodbye to him at the end of out tour. When you book your tour ask for Joseph and you will get the top service and experience.
The accommodations were all at Sentrim lodges and they also exceeded our expectations. Better quality then expected. Fine meals and lunch packages. Friendly service. All that we needed.
Also additional services as train tickets and transfers were very well organized and met our expectations.
We highly recommend using Mufasa as your service provider for a trip in Kenya. Thank you Caroline, Yoseph, Naomi and John. You made it the trip of our lifetime.

Very nice experience !
We took a private 3 days safari with lodge (boat, jeep, walk).
The general organization of the tour was pretty good. Our driver picked up us in DAR and dropped us in DAR too, he was really arranging !
First day, 4 hours max of driving to Selous and then lunch at the camp. After that we went to boat safari for 3~4 hours, really great experience with a lot of animals (birds, crocodile, hippopotamus) and with a beautiful sunset on the river !
Back to the camp for dinner, by the way food was very good during all the stay, and then we sleep in the lodge, it was clean and corresponding well to pictures on safari booking. Be careful the electricity is not available during all the day, but it's clearly not a problem.
Second day, approximately 7 hours of game drive in the Nyerere national park, which start at 7am. Amazing experience, we saw a lot of different animals (lion, elephant, giraffe, birds, pumba, hippo, impala...) with perfect explanations from our guide HENRY.
Third day, the one where we were the most disappointed for the walking safari. We thought that we were going to walk during 2~3 hours, but in fact we start at 6:30 am, and we almost didn't walk (15 min). Our "guide" talked to us about a nest and a cactus during 1 hour, and after that he showed us how to make a fire like Bear Grills. It's interesting, but not what we expected.
The lunch wasn't included for the last day, therefore we don't understand why the company didn't recommend us to take a plane at DAR in the evening. If you're making the walking tour, it ends at 8:30am, so it's ok to take a plane at the end of the day. So we preferred to stay for lunch and enjoy the swimming pool and camp. Thank again to our driver, who wait for us !
Special thanks to Henri, who was really kind and with excellent knowledge for our game drive !

Personable, accommodating and willing to go the extra mile
If you want a trip that leaves you wanting more, full of stories and adventure look no further. The communication was faultless, superb service and real value for money. The team were great from our guide Custard who was a great character and connected with each of us in his own way, Dandy the chef who managed to cook the most delicious meals on a camp fire, including bread and chocolate muffins. And Joe the camp assistant who just wanted to provide us the best service - and he succeeded! Our trip started with a night in Maun before we left for the wilderness and camped for 6 nights in the bush. 2 nights in South Moremi, 2 nights in North Moremi and 2 nights in Savuti, Chobe. From here we had 3 nights in lodges, (1 lodge that was disappointing which Kemy was quick to resolve) and travelled across the border into Zimbabwe to view the breath-taking Victoria Falls and do some of the activities it has to offer. After we travelled back into Botswana to the Nxai Pans for 2 nights camping in the bush and our last night camping on an Island in the Delta. Holiday highlights - the wildlife, remote camping in the bush (perfect), different landscapes and ecosystems and Custard and Joe. We thank Kemy for a well organised trip even down to moving a few things round when we got there so we could do a full day white water rafting. We thank you Mosu for a holiday that we will remember for ever.

Went the extra mile to look after us
We had the most wonderful camping safari in Naxi Pan. Saw all the animals we wanted to, but it was the care and attention of Julius and his team that shone through. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Knowledgeable, thoughtful and looked after our every need.
Loved our experience! The guides: Martin, Tony and Walter went out of their way to ensure that we had the absolute best experience. Whether it was looking for wildlife or botanical species, they were knowledgeable and generous with their time.
Always ensuring that the vehicles were clean and well stocked with water and lady finger bananas! Awesome trip, job well done

Amazing 5days in Keyna.
We visited Kenya for 5 days. Our tour guide was Castro and did a 5day midrange safari.
We spent 2 amazing days in Masai Mara, 1 day in Lake Nakuru and 1 day in Lake Navasha. We also visited Hells Gate National park by bike.
The hotels were amazing, provided food was very good. We had a lot of fun observing nature. We had the most fun in Masai Mara, but other parks were good as well. Castro is a very friendly tour guide, he speaks very good english, and is an excellent driver. And the end of each day he made sure we are good, and we know plan for the next day.
The only thing which could be improved is organization of the trip after Masai Mara. We felt like there were holes in the plan(a lot of free time) which could have been filled better, or fitted in 2 days.

Perfecto
Climbing the roof of Africa is an
unimaginable experience, and for some like
me, a unique opportunity.
I will forever be grateful with Mafie
adventures for helping me enjoy the journey
with their outstanding attitude, attentive
service and specially with their friendly
being.
Each of the 6 days were an experience itself.
The mountain is a beauty, our timing was on
point day after day, food was surprisingly
good (opposed to what we expected from
eating in a mountain) and of course the
views and landscapes are something to die for.
Our group encountered a couple of issues.
Nothing too grave but the Mafie team
quickly took matters into their own hands
and found the best solutions sooner rather
than later.
The overall experience was unbeatable, I
wouldn't change a thing about our trip and couldn’t imagine enjoying it as much as I did
without Mafie adventures.
Thank you very much Mafie adventures,
specially our guides Oliver, Prosper and
Osea and all the porters that helped us.
Asante sana, Nakupenda

Reliable, customer focused, large portfolio of tour options, great people, and responsive.
I would and will use Uhuru Travel for future trips to Africa. I found them to be reliable during a difficult two year COVID cycle. They were able to plan multiple types of trips for our party from a very successful climb of Kilimanjaro, to day trips out of Arusha, to a 12 day Safari to the wonderful National Parks in Tanzania and Kenya ending with relaxation on the beaches in Zanzibar. I found their guides/drivers to be knowledgeable, accommodating and good hard working people. For that matter I found this to be the case throughout the organization. Communication was timely and understanding, despite 10 hour time differences and the potential for language differences. We evaluated several different agencies and found them to be the best all around-we were not disappointed!

Great, fun tour guide and great group of young people!
I can HIGHLY recommend this tour agency. I did a 3-day Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater trip and our guide James was so fun, so knowledgeable answering all my ecology and wildlife questions. The participants were all from various places and it was s a fun group. Even though it was the dry season we saw a lot of animals and still beautiful nature.
Definitely bring warm clothes for the night if you stay in the tents - which I can recommend! And if you can, a flashlight, your camera and binoculars!
Sometimes a few things were a bit delayed and I gave the team some additional feedback that could help improve a few minor things (e.g. food waste and how to deal with waste) but otherwise, all was great!
Thanks Suricata team!!!
