If you are reading this, don't hesitate, go on your safari with Mufasa team!!
Thanks to the comments I read on this page, I chose to do my safari to Kenya, with Mufasa. I looked at several agencies here, and consulted what I thought were the best 3 and decided on Mufasa, thanks to the fast and excellent response I got from Polly. And without a doubt it was the best decision I made. I had some previous problems, I had to move the date of my trip and then problems with my visa. And Polly from Mufasa, she helped me and solved all my problems. Even calling her outside of business hours, at very inconvenient hours. I have to highlight and say that thanks to that extra contribution from them, I was able to continue with my trip.
They organized everything for me, from my airport pick up, to my meals, hotel, safari. All the people I met (drivers, guides, etc.) super professional, friendly and with great knowledge. And a well-deserved highlight to the guide who accompanied me for the 3 days: Simon, you are a great professional and a great person. His knowledge of animals, how to look for them and on top of that, he speaks Spanish! I highly recommend Spanish speakers like me to go to Mufasa and ask for Simon!
I stayed on Polly's recommendation at Nepture Camp, incredible to be there next to the hippos and crocodiles. I modified some things while there and on Simon's recommendation, and the truth was they were very kind and flexible.
In summary, thanks to the entire Mufasa team, for making me live an incredible trip. For being so careful with me. They were so outstanding that I wanted to take the time to write this recommendation, which I never do! But you guys deserve it. If you are reading this, don't hesitate, go on your safari with Polly, Simon and the Mufasa team!!

Amazing experience, perfect organisation, friends and knowledgeable guide
In short: I couldn't recommend more this tour and this company. This was our honeymoon and everything was like a dream, we enjoyed every minute of it.
Now some more details to help you choose: Finding a safari is hard, we had hundreds of options, and I'm really happy we found Suricata. The communication through WhatsApp with Hilary before booking was great, he answered all our questions really patiently (and we had many as it was our first time in Africa). We took the mid-range version, which to be honest when we saw the accommodations looked more like luxurious to me, all the places we stayed were beautiful. Of course it's a question of budget, but if you can afford it I would recommend the mid-range option, because safari are exhausting, and slipping in a real bed in a beautiful tent or bungalow at the end of the day is magical.The tour was perfectly organised, from the pick up to the airport, the first night of hotel in Arusha, to the briefing each morning and evening to agree on times and what was next, the communication from every member of the staff was just perfect. Our guide was really friendly, knowledgeable of the parks and animals, and a really good and safe driver. He was always finding the best spot to see perfectly all animals, and we saw them all!
The food at lunch is also really tasty and always plenty. The company has their own cook and one is coming with you to prepare 5-6 different pots for the car (we were 6 in the car so you can imagine it's a lot). So you will always have plenty and tasty food. For the morning and evening it will depend of the range you chose. If you confirm budget I think you also eat this food, which is really good, but we went for mid-range so we got the food from the accomodation, which to be honest could be Michelin restaurant.
For the payment it went really smoothly, we paid 20% upfront my card online (a bit scary since we didn't know anything at the time but don't worry everything went well with them) and the rest in cash when arriving, so you will need to change dollars.
To summarise, just go for it, you won't regret it, and I know the mid-range might seem like a lot of money, but it's great value when you live it, and not that expensive for what it is and the beauty of the parks and accommodations.

Excellent tour that was very well organized with an expert guide. Definitely 10/10
Africa Starpal Safaris provided excellent service from the time I contacted Paul to the time we finished the 3 day safari to Tsavo National Park (East and West). We had Boniface as our guide and we saw hundreds of animals including 4 of the Big 5! Boniface was a wealth of knowledge and we learned a great deal about the wildlife we were observing. Accommodation within the Park was superb and made our downtime most enjoyable. I would highly recommend Africa Starpal for both their organizational ability, professionalism of Boniface and extremely good value for money.
The tour operator was very welcoming and friendly.
Mrs. Mercy was excellent in commucation while we were planning this holiday for our parents. Very polite and quickky responding to queries.
We were extremely satisfied with Kwezi safaris.
Its was a wonderful experience for our parents. They have not stopped talking about it.

Above and beyond! Absolutely blown away. Best adventure ever!
From beginning to end everything was carefully planned to deliver the best experience! I am a 42 yo solo female traveler who went on a 6d budget safari with Moses. I saw many many animals including the big 5, giraffes, antelopes, Zebras, and lots and lots of birds. Moses was not only able to find the animals and get us the best spot for amazing pics, videos and just watching them move, but he was also a wealth of knowledge about the animals themselves, their habits,... he also knows 200+ birds and can identify them! As well as trees, plants and what not. So it's really wonderful to learn all of it. In terms of accommodation: the budget package did not feel like budget at all. Everything was safe and comfortable. I could not have asked for more. And I highly recommend them. Definitely great value for the money and it does not feel at all like a "budget" safari. Communication was super easy by email and whatsapp. Responses were prompt and detailed.
