Outstanding Safari! Thank you Odhis (Boniface) and Polly for a trip of a lifetime.
We have just returned from a fantastic 3day/ 2night Safari in the Masai Mara.
Mufasa Tours and Travels were truly brilliant. Polly did an excellent job of providing the itinerary which included the safari, accommodation and balloon ride. Polly was very responsive and provided assistance to all of my questions along the way which made it so enjoyable to plan. We were due to travel in July but unfortunately our daughter had Covid. Polly was just brilliant and helped us rearrange the dates with ease - thank you so much!
When we landed in Nairobi, Odhis welcomed us with a big smile at the airport. He escorted us to a lovely 4x4 jeep and we were in our way. The jeep had plenty of water, a charging station for your phone, music and comfy seats. We had a long drive to camp but had a couple of stops at the Great Rift Valley and a lovely coffee shop / art gallery. We were soon in the National park and then we were on Safari! Odhis is an excellent driver and you feel 100% safe at all times. Odhis has over 20years experience and you sure can tell! He was really patient with us and allowed time to take photos and really enjoy the animals we were seeing. We had our 9 year old daughter with us and he answered all her questions and made the long drives such good fun! We saw so many animals thanks to Odhis - you really must trust him as he will give you the best experience!
Our accomodation was at Lorian Safari Camp. It was a beautiful secluded camp. The food was good and the tents and beds were extremely comfortable. All the staff were very friendly and accommodated our every need. There is a resident hippo close by too which was fab.
We opted for the balloon ride on our trip which was just magical! One of the best experiences we’ve ever had. It came with a champagne breakfast in the middle of the Masai Mara with buffalo very close by. Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing time and would recommend Musafa and their excellent team any day. They are remarkable.
Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful trip.

Sunworld Safaris organized a comprehensive, memorable safari that will be our "trip of a lifetime".
Sunworld Safaris put together a most memorable 3 week safari in Kenya which we thoroughly enjoyed. To start, our stay at Hemingway's in Nairobi was the perfect place to get over our jet lag and to enjoy a relaxing two days before embarking on our safari. The food and drinks were excellent and the staff was friendly and super attentive. The highlight was our last dinner there where my wife, Teresa, enjoyed (I helped her) a tower of large prawns. They were delicious, as were all the meals we had there. We almost hated leaving there when we met you for our start of the safari, but we knew the best was yet to come!
We saw the Big 5 many times over plus so many other species from Cape Buffalo, Crocs, Hippos, and so many Antelope from the smallest (Dik Dik) to the largest (Elan). We also enjoyed the company of Monkeys, Baboons, and Hyrax to keep us entertained while at our lodges or luxury tents.
The lodges and luxury tents were all situated in beautiful picturesque locations whether they were on bluffs overlooking vast Kenyan plains or along river banks teeming with Hippos and occasional Crocodiles. The room attendants were very attentive to our requests and made our stay at each camp so very comfortable .... even to the luxury of having padded hot water bottles to warm our beds in the evening. The food at every camp was copious and delicious and was served in beautiful settings, whether under the stars or next to a firepit. It goes without saying that the unlimited drinks added to the ambiance and camaraderie we experienced with guests and staff alike at every site.
The game drivers were all extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and were able to pinpoint strategic spots to position their vehicles to the best possible position to maximize our photo opportunities. One particularly great day on safari was the opportunity to see the migration of the Wildebeests across the Mara, which was just simply amazing! Thousands must have crossed before some Hippos appeared and spooked the remaining Wildebeests into not crossing, thinking what they saw were Crocodiles. On our return from the migration site, our driver spotted a Thomson Gazelle about to give birth. We pulled up nearby and saw the birth of her baby and its first wobbly steps into its new world .... simply breathtaking! Several of our drivers were also able to predict the movement of lions so that they would cross directly next to our jeep during their trek. In one case both a lion and lioness walked along and laid down next to our jeep and seemingly posed for pictures for as long as we desired!
Our visit to the Maasai Village was unforgettable! We had seen these circular villages of the Maasai from our aircraft on the flight into the Maasai Mara, but now we got the opportunity to be in and experience a Maasai Village up close and in person. It is a half day side trip that everyone going to the Mara Bush camps should experience. It is an eye-opening encounter where you are immersed in the Maasai culture and customs which have been their way of life for centuries.
We will never forget all the experiences we had and we have literally thousands of photographs and videos to revisit and remind us of what a wonderful experience we had.

Very professional, they definitely know Africa.
This was a delayed trip and should have been for the British & Irish Lions Tour, but we had to change the date and redo the itinerary. Stephanie was fabulous, all my queries were promptly answered, suggestions to itinerary changes were perfect and all the properties we stayed in, recommend by East Cape Tours, were excellent. Costing was kept to minimum which was a bonus. Nothing was too much trouble.
East Cape included a brilliant Wine Tour in Franschoek and a Coastal Explorer Trip in Knysna, which was upgraded to a Whale Watching Tour.
We decided to drive Route 62 instead of the normal Garden Route, from Franschoek to Knysna and loved everything about it. Lots of places to stop and break up the journey, its about 6hours non stop driving.
Definitely put Woodhall Hotel and Spa, Elephant Hill and Villa Afrikana, Knysna on the itinerary. Both fabulous, friendly properties, great food, brilliant staff and good locations for some peace and quiet. Our choice of Safari at Pumba was based on East Cape Tours recommendation and a friend had stayed a few years before. It was brilliant, our Ranger {Brando} was knowledgeable, interesting and we felt in very safe hands.
I would definitely use East Cape Tours again and have recommended them to friends.

Unforgettable experience!
Tanzania Roadside helped us to organize our 5 days safari. Idriss was our guide and he was perfect, always ready to answer all questions we had and also with spotting animals. What is also really important we felt really safe for whole time with him!
I can totally recommend organizing a safari with them and for sure if I will go to safari again I will organize it with them! Thank you for amazing time!

Safari Of A Lifetime
I have always dreamt of doing an African safari after reading so much about African wildlife and my sister and i decided to check online for options since from back home it seemed too expensive. I came across Native Afrika Voyages and Charity was really helpful in arranging out program of safari to fit well with our budget, I must say that I was very impressed by the way she would respond to all of our questions and even sent Maureen to meet us at the airport upon arrival. Maureen introduced us to our driver James that we were going to have safari with us throughout the 5 days Amboseli Naivasha and Masai Mara. James was very accommodative and knowledgeable and kept all of our request with him making sure that we saw almost every animal only missing the rhino out of the big 5. I must say for real a guide can make or break your experience and we were lucky to have James that knew everywhere to get the wildlife and helped also other guides whenever he spotted animals, he would share through a radio call.
the price was quite fair, and we were very happy with the proposed 4x4 Landcruiser rather than the van since we pulled several vans that would get stuck while on safari.
Our last day we were surprised by NAV with a lunch at carnivore since my sisiter had a birthday while staying at Masao mara, THNK YOU FOR THIS!!!
I would 100% recommend them to anyone travelling to Africa.
Asante Sana!!!

fantastic safari experience with Lifetime
I had a 7-day safari with Lifetime. And it was really fantastic. I have been to Africa for safari a few times, but still can get tons of new experiences this time.
I'm a solo traveler and Lifetime managed to arrange everything great for me. My driver/guide Sula is wonderful too.
