Amazing experience and exceptional service
The communication was on spot, the service was amazing, lived up to our expectations and the Safari tour was amazing. Joseph was always online answering our inquiries and tailored the Safari according to our needs. We had a very safe and exiting Safari. On the day back from Masai Mara, we had to face bad road situation as it was raining the previous night, but Paul was so good at what he did, they stayed calm and we had a smooth trip back to Nairobi. They were always on time and very patient. During the Safari, we were really lucky to spot the Leopard and Cheetah. Junior (guide for one of the days) went out of the way to give us our best experience to spot the Leopard. All the drivers/guides were connected well through their walkie-talkies enabling us to spot more adventures on our Safari. Thumbs up to the team and I am glad I chose Mufasa Travels for our first time Safari experience.

Fantastic 3 days safari in Selous
Me and my family had an excellent communication with this company before deciding to go on safari. This clear communication was key for us to secure the expectation alignment on forehand. We had a detailed description of all 3 days: First day, river boat safari, second full day of private game drive and third day walking safari with a bushman.
The trip fullfilled all our expectations.
We saw a lot of animals, and our driver, William, made sure our safari trip already started from Dar Es Salaam and ended here, spiced up with all his knowledge about Tanzania. The villages and the landscape driving to the nationalpark was spectacular.
Ngalawa camp is basic, but beautiful, as we had hoped. Clean tents with toilet and shower. The camp will soon be equipped with a swimmingpool, but this was not ready yet.
Food was local and delicious, “far better than what what we expected” - qoute by our kids, 17 and 8 years old.
We will recommend this tour to everyone.

Wonderful 4-days family tour with Hans!
Just came back from the best family trip trip I ever had. Hans was the best guide you can dream of. Knowledge, care, organized, trustable and more... The most nice guy we met in Tanzania. Was worth every dollar we paid.

The Trip of a Lifetime
I felt compelled to sit down and write this review right away, while the impressions and memories of our amazing 7 day safari trip in Tanzania are still fresh in my mind.
We were a group of 10: ages 9-78, some of us with sever life-threatening food allergies. That being said, you can imagine the concerns and complexities involved in the preparations for this trip, that took us to Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
However, all of our concerns disappeared the moment we landed and met our two wonderful guides: Amani and Rajabu. From the moment we met them at Kilimanjaro airport and throughout our entire trip, these two spared no effort to make our trip an unforgettable experience and a complete success.
We felt welcomed, safe and happy knowing that we are in the capable hands of Rajabu and Amani. They took care of everything! From insuring our food is allergy-free all the way to somehow managing to arrange for a pair of forgotten headphones that were left behind in one lodge, to make it all the way to our next stop-without us knowing about it, or even telling them we’ve lost it...
Amani and Rajabu’s hospitality and attention to details can only be matched by their professionalism when it came to the safari itself. We got to see a huge amount and variety of animals, including rare sightings of a leopard and cheetah with cubs from very close range. Their insights and guidance regarding the things we saw were very rich, interesting and helpful.
A good guide makes all the difference when it comes to trips of this nature, and in our case we couldn’t have wished for better ones than Amani and Rajabu.
Our accommodations were also great. The cars were comfortable and very clean (thoroughly washed at the end of every day) and fully stocked with a fridge loaded with cold water, electricity sockets etc.
I warmly recommend Friendship in general and particularly Amani and Rajabu to anyone who is interested in experiencing Tanzania at first hand in the best possible way.

Adventure of a lifetime!
Highly recommended Safari tour!! We had the most amazing time on this 8-day-7-night tour. We were three families (11 in all, including 7 adults, 1 teen, and 3 kids) split between a minivan and a land cruiser. Both our guides were great - Kevin was easy to talk to, and very accommodating of our needs, and Anthony was knowledgeable and chatty. They were great at keeping in sync with each other's vehicles as well as at networking with other guides during each of our game drives and ensured that we saw all of the big 5 and the ugly 5 over the course of the tour (Samburu, Ol Pejata and Mara)! The hordes and hordes of wildebeest and zebra crossing a ravine was a remarkable and unforgettable sight.
A big shout out to our tour organizer, Malini, who was a super reliable contact point, and put together a great itinerary for us, that also included Nyahururu (Equator crossing) and Lake Naivasha (where we saw hippos and a ton of birds). Each of Simba lodges at Samburu, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara were comfortable and catered to our dietary restrictions (with the one at Naivasha offering water bucks right within the confines of the lodge!). Serena house at Ol Pejata was beautiful and gave us an opportunity of seeing animals from our dinner table, and the Panari resort was just awesome! With Julia's camp in Mara being the icing on the cake - the tent experience was superb.
We were all impressed with Malini and Mwema, including the littlest member of our group - my 5 year old niece - who had a wonderful time.

Trip of a lifetime
We had the most amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Seven By Far. Sylvester made the booking an easy and straightforward process, and communication was always friendly, prompt and informative. He was also very flexible in arranging our itinerary, allowing us to tailor aspects of the trip to our interests - nothing was ever too difficult!
We did a 20-day private safari through Kenya and Tanzania covering the following parks: Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria, Lake Navaisha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Amboseli. We opted for 4x4 Landcruiser with pop-up roof, and found the vehicles to be comfortable, well-maintained and perfect for game viewing. We were so lucky to have seen so many animals, many up close (including the big five, multiple times over).
We had three guides over the course of our trip - Hassan, Alpha and Peter. They all had great local knowledge and went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our experience. We developed a great friendship with our guides which made the trip even more memorable.
We were also very happy with our accomodation (which was a mix of tented camps and lodges, all with great food) and felt our package was excellent value for money. Everything was so well organised, and the trip ran completely seamlessly from start to finish. We felt completely safe at all times and were blown away by the kindness and hospitality of the Kenyan and Tanzanian locals.
We are grateful beyond words to Sylvester and our guides for the experience. It was the trip of a lifetime and we couldn’t recommend Seven by Far Safaris more highly. We will be telling our friends and family to book the same trip, and encourage all to add this to your bucket list!

The world I live in got turned off and I experienced the world.
My family and I stayed with Tusk and Mane Safaris.
The Lower Zambezi National Park, with the company, offered no Wi-fi, no internet, no phone signal and solar power only.
It re-booted our world.
530am wake up. We were busy dawn ‘til dusk. The bush noises over night and the sound of hippos echoing of the Zambezi serenaded a deep sleep; the stars were the last thing you see before rest.
A Lion call in the night is fabulous to rouse to; beats the neighbour’s car alarm.
We are saving to go again.
