Unbelievable 4 day’s safari in Amboseli, Tzavo West And Tzavo East with accommodation in lodge
Tunu, the organizer, was super nice and satisfied all our requests with a really competitive price. The Badri guide was an exceptional and experienced driver, reserved, friendly and highly trained. Thanks to Badri's watchful eye we were able to spot 4 of the big 5, and many other animals such as antelopes, gazelles, foxes, giraffes. The accommodations have been marvelous in everything and the comfort while on the move is excellent.
Highly recommended, certainly an exceptional experience.
Lots of animals chilling, beautiful national park!
They were very quick to reply to emails. The drive from dar is quite long so be prepared with stuff to listen to. We had a swimming pool in our accommodation so had a nice evening swim and some decent food.
The guide asked us what we wanted to see and was happy to stop when we wanted. The scenery itself was just beautiful and we saw lots of animals (elephants, lions, zebras etc. etc.)

Awesome safari trip!
We was at 5-day safari in the southern national parks of Tanzania: Mikumi and Ruaha with Selous Explorer.
Everything was organized perfectly from the beginning to the end of the trip. Manager Asna quickly and efficiently answered all our many questions via email and chat. All agreements were fulfilled, everything was on time, for Tanzania it is rare)))
Accommodation and transport are in accordance with the declared.
The parks are very beautiful, we saw a lot of animals. Our guide Endrick is a very good driver and an excellent, experienced guide. It was evident that he was interested in seeing as many animals as possible.
I recommend the company - guys responsible, they can be trusted.

Superb, and Outstanding
Because I live in Washington Dc, and this was my first time booking a safari. I had so many questions that needed answers asap. So when I reached out to Mufasa Tours, and someone responded back in less then a day. Lewis was the one who responded back via whats app, and from then on he literally answered all my questions day or night. He helped us find accommodation that met our needs, and explaining each hotel, no matter how many different ones I showed him pictures of, he was very patient and helpful, and has exceptional knowledge, and customer service skills. Once we arrived in Kenya, Anthony picked us up from Mufasa Tours with our name printed on a board, letting us know who he was. We choose a private tour, with the option of having a land cruiser instead of a van. The land cruiser was very comfortable, spacious and clean, and they also provided us with gifts that were blankets that came in handy throughout the tour. We stopped off at the Office to finalize our payments then headed to Lake Nakuru. We stayed at the Nakuru – Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge. Which was a very nice hotel. The next day we headed to Masa Mara, and stayed at the Mara Serena Lodge. The drive there is very bumpy and is 7hrs away from lake Nakuru, hence thats why it's alot more comfortable to have the land cruiser instead of the van. While on the game day tours Anthony always made sure we were safe, and comfortable. He also made sure we saw every animal in the safari, and I mean everyone. He was always very punctual, informative, and very nice. Not to mention on our last day of the tour we wanted to go see Girffaes at the Sanctuary, where we could feed and touch them. He literally drove us 7hrs straight without stopping just so we could make it before they closed. He also took us to get souvenirs before dropping us back to our hotel. In all as a first experience Mufasa Tours was exceptional, and their staff is so friendly, professional, and they all go above and beyond in order to insure your happiness.

Outstanding!
This was a fantastic end to a once in a lifetime experience for myself and my husband. Everything was top notch. The lodging was beautifully put together right in heart of the wild landscape; literally with the animals right at the doorstep. The guides, true authentic tribesmen, provided an experience like no other, right down to constant protection under the night sky. Because of their presence, we were able to respect fully walk among the animals and the some of the original people of Kenya. The food and services are undeniably the most exquisite that one should ever expect to recieve considering the raw nature of the environment. It all in fact thouroughly exceeded expectations leaving us wanting for nothing. I definitely recommend this particular accommodation for anyone seeking an African Safari experience.

Once in a lifetime experience!
To be in there in the middle of the wildlife, not like a zoo, at their home, was incredibly amazing.
Our company Lion King and our guide/driver; Abou (Aboubakar) was perfect. Abou tried his best to make us comfortable and to show most of the animals.
Accommodations were better than OK. Especially the night we spent in Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp was the peak point of our Safari. Ilboru Safari Lodge was also a great spot.
The company's attitude before and after our trip was really professional. The information they provided before we book and the questionare (face to face) they made after our trip at their office show that they care about customer satisfaction.

Fantastic place
I have travelled a lot, seen many countries, so it is not easy to surprize me. well, Ethiopia did it in the positive sense of the word. Knowledgeable, well edicated guide, fantastic scenery, huge variety of ethnics. Food was good, not outstanding, except their local one, the injera, that's tasty and interesting. From wildlife point of view you do not have the big fives, not big cats, but you have many indigenous species, ethiopian wolf, mountain nyala, gian ratmole, rock hyrax and it is a paradise for birdwatching. Accomodations are ok, you should not expect more in a country just opening for tourism. Often issues with electricity and internet, still fine accomodations.
