It was all about the cats this time!
Overall rating
5/5

Masai Mara is a beautiful area and we thouroughly enjoyed our time there. Our guide Joseph knew what he was doing and gave us a really excellent wildlife experience. We saw lots of all the big cats, 4 of the Big 5, beautiful nature, and had a lot of fun.
Seeing the young leopard was as exciting as seeing the big leopard carrying his/her remainderof kill of the previous day down from the tree.

Joseph was calm and knowledgeable, his driving skills were excellent and we always felt safe. He did get stuck in the mud once, but managed to get us out.
The breakfast picnic was another amazing experience.

Our stay at the Zebra Plains was lovely. Excellent food and the location is just amazing.

5/5

The wildlife sightings were unbelievable, up close and breathtaking. Even though it rained extensively all 3 nights it did not deter or dampen our morning and afternoon game drives. The glamping experience was exceptional especially for our grandsons. The buffet style food was plentiful and very tasty for all meals. The mode of transportation in an 8 seat land cruiser was definitely a bonus with the wet muddy trail conditions. Without it we would have been stuck and denied certain trails to explore. Our guide was very knowledgeable and vigilant. How he could spot, see and point out animals and their habits was incredible. He made every effort for us to see as many of the big 5 close up as possible.

I can not talk highly enough about our experience. It was amazing. We choose a private 4X4 LandCruser safari. I would never do it any other way. It was not that much more and was an excellent experience. We had an outstanding guide and the accommodations at the SOPA lodges were perfect. We will never forgoer the experience of seeing the African wide-life up close and personal. It was not a vacation or a trip. It was a life changing experience. Thank you to Mufasa tours for a truly amazing experience.

We stayed for an ever too short 11 days and we saw a real paradise for wildlife. Our driver Tony was a real friend to us and met our expectations in stopping the engine right in THE good spot giving us the precious information we needed to understand. He advised us so well as for the timing and the organization changes that every time we gained in watching the right animal at the right time.
That was the best holiday !!!

We only had one week planned and it was enough to really get in the thick of it - we saw the big 5 and many many more animals. The wildlife and scenery were absolutely incredible! Great season to visit, chilly in the mornings but very warm when the sun comes up. Everyone we met and our driver was very polite and very welcoming - everyone is very friendly.

We went through all the emotions in Kenya. We went from Nairobi to Masai Mara to Mombasa. In Nairobi we visited the Giraffe and Elephants parks and they were great. We also went to the great Rift Valley and the view was breathtaking. We did a boat ride to see the hippos which was scary with them in the water. Food was delicious and fresh. A lot of fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables. Ok the Masai Mara was crazy and wonderful. We were supposed to stay at the illekalani lodge but this lodge was rained out so we stayed at Zebra Plains Resort. I am thrilled where we stayed. The rooms were big and very nice, the staff was very friendly and food was great. We actually got lost on a safari. We went to visit a Masai Village and a warrior said he had a short cut and we took it and got lost. We were stuck in the mud, and scared in the dark until about 11:30 at night on a safari. The rangers and search and rescue had to come and find us. Luckily Zebra Plains search and rescue team where the ones that came and found us and they didn’t have to. We where with a independent safari company but yet Zebra Plains sent there team out on top of the rangers. We greatly appreciate them for all they did. We did see all of the big five except the Rhino. The land was beautiful and the weather was great.

Lastly Mombasa beaches were gorgeous. We stayed at Sarova Whitesands and it was a great resort. The spa was out of this world. I highly recommend a spa day at this resort for everyone. We went to the orphanage and gave supplies which was heart breaking and humbling. We arrived back in states March 5th and Africa was everything we could ask for. We can’t wait to return.

Kenya is a stunning country. The landscape is beautiful filled to the brim with every animal you could hope to see on safari. We had tremendous weather and saw lions, leopards, elephants, zebras, giraffes etc. The people were very friendly and our guide through Tazama holidays David was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time and Jonathan was a very knowledgeable guide - making sure we saw all of the Big 5 and loads more. The highlight was seeing 6 lion cubs walking past your truck!

Ashnil was great, lovely staff and no shortage of good food! The tents were brilliant with a great pool and view of Hippos and crocs in the river.

We had three days safari in Amboseli and Tsavo Vest. Our excellent tourguide and schaffeur Sam was so nice, kind and caring. He told us all about the area and the animals. We didn't see all the 5 big, but we saw the leopard and then we were happy.
