A Safari Adventure to Remember
I am writing this review for Mufasa Tours and Travels two months after coming back to my home country. And to state it briefly, my one-week safari experience over the Christmas and New Year period 2023/2024 left me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the wildlife of the African savannah.
Our safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania was 20 days in total for my parents, while I joined them in the middle of the tour for 10 days. Every detail, from accommodation arrangements to game drives, was well planned by Mufasa Tours and Travels, ensuring a hassle-free and enjoyable trip. While the price tag was on the higher side, the impeccable organization and exceptional service made it well worth every penny.
What truly elevated our experience was our passionate guide, Moses. His enthusiasm for the wildlife was infectious and he was extremely experienced at his job, taking us to places where we would get a higher chance to see wildlife while being respectful of the park rules. The vehicle was well-maintained and cleaned every day to our amazement, and safety precautions were consistently observed, so we really felt in good hands with him.
The camps and lodges selected by the company were all very comfortable and immersed us in the heart of the wilderness. Our only negative critique would be that the lodge where we stayed at in the Serengeti National Park was quite far from where the wildlife was for that period of the year. Our other regret is that we only had one full day in the Serengeti, so we had a long drive that day from the lodge to get to the wildlife and the game viewing itself felt comparatively short. If your schedule allows it, I recommend staying at least 2 full days in that immense park.
One incident highlighted the exceptional customer service we received during our safari. My luggage did not arrive with me when I landed in Nairobi but was lost during my transit. Joel and the Mufasa staff went above and beyond to assist me, calling the airline and making trips to the airport to inquire about my luggage. In the end, as it was the holiday period, my luggage took many days to be located and could not be delivered to me as I was constantly moving to different areas, but they ensured that it was delivered to my departure airport. Their dedication to resolving the issue really allowed me and my family to focus on our holidays and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife without any worries and I am deeply grateful to them for that.
In conclusion, our tour with Mufasa Tours and Travels was a top-notch safari experience. If we get an opportunity to go on another safari, maybe during the Great Migration season, we will book with Mufasa Tours and Travels again!

Top safari
I recently had the pleasure of exploring the wonders of Tanzania on a 4-day safari organized by Mellivora African Travels, and I can confidently say that it was an unforgettable experience that was worth every penny.
From the beginning of our adventure, communication with Fransisca, our guide Elieza, was absolutely excellent. He was not just a guide, but a true ambassador of the beauties of Tanzania. With a friendly approach and vast knowledge of the local wildlife and culture, Elieza made each day on our safari not only educational but also extremely enjoyable.
Mellivora African Travels has proven to be an extremely reliable company, offering top-notch services from accommodation to well-planned itineraries in the most scenic locations. We had the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife in their natural habitat and Elieza provided us with valuable information and answers to all our questions.
The safari experience was simply magical. Every moment spent on this trip was a perfect combination of adventure, education and relaxation. I truly felt the essence of Africa and left with memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
I highly recommend Mellivora African Travels and especially Elieza as a guide. This safari was an unforgettable adventure and I will definitely choose Mellivora African Travels again for my future trips to Tanzania.

Awesome
I came to Tanzania to Volunteer, so my days off were limited. First of all it was just me and friendship still agreed to book my tours to Tarangire and Ngangorgora National Parks. I had the entire jeep to myself, no worries about traveling with strangers. My tour guide/driver was kind and answered all my question. I stayed at the Marera lodge which was beautiful. The rooms were very nice. My total experience was more than I could have ever expected. A trip I shall never forget. Thank you so very much Friendship! I highly recommend this company.

Absolutely amazing, so patient and well experienced. Personalised experience for all
We met Tongesai through Tripadvisor and as foreigners coming into a different country, we doubted the legitimacy of the services provided. Tongesai understood and tailored our experience to make us comfortable. Upon arrival, we met him and he was so lovely. He made sure we got the best experience, and we felt at home. We will be using their services every time we go to Zimbabwe.

Had a great experience with Julian and Jocky Tours. We saw so many safari animals - it was an unreal experience. We stayed at Mara Enkorok camp which was excellent as well. Highly recommend!

If you want to feel the spirit of Africa Kikitu and Khalifa are the best guides, Lennox is a perfect
No matter how many times I have to choose a safari in Kenya with a group, my choice will always be Excise Africa because Lennox is the best organizer I know. I have been leading groups in Africa for a year and it is very important to me that my friends and clients are happy, relaxed and in safe hands. When I correspond to clarify the details of the upcoming trip, Lennox is always flexible and in crisis situations is ready to give the best solution and the best advice. At the last minute before our trip, the airline changed the flight times, so our time was shortened by half a day, and we had to cover the pre-planned points of the route - Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha with all the activities planned in the program. Lennox offered me the best arrangement of time so that we could experience everything planned even more. With the help of our guides Khalifa and Kikitu, we arranged a visit to a Maasai village on the very first evening upon arrival in the Maasai Mara before sunset. Besides the traditional welcome dance, when the sun went down the Maasai made a big fire especially for us, around which we sat, and they sang and danced for us again.
From my longtime guide and friend Kikitu, who is half Maasai, half Kikuyu, I learned incredible stories about Maasai life and traditions - stories you won't read in books or even on the internet. Khalifa is from Mombasa - a man with an incredible sense of humor, a quick mind and a real passion in the pursuit of unique wildlife footage. Both Kikitu and Khalifa are true "hunters" of wild animal sightings. Trust me, whatever animal you think you've spotted somewhere on the horizon, they've seen it long before you and know exactly what that animal is, while you'll need at least binoculars to spot it. They have a very deep knowledge of the life of the savannah, of the habits and specifics of each type of wild animal.
And last but not least, Kikitu and Khalifa know how to create a unique atmosphere during the trip with their energy. For me and my friends, it was a truly inspiring and invigorating experience.
Thanks to these wonderful people who are a pleasure to work with - Lennox, Kikitu and Khalifa. I will certainly return again with new friends to share more of the wonder of Africa.
I am happy to share my experience and recommend these professionals with big hearts, but I only pray that they always have enough time for me too :)
