Good but some obvious improvements
Good :
- Communication over email and whatsapp was good and fast.
- The guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
- The first 2 hotels (in Aberdares and Samburu) were amazing.
- Great night safari in Ol Pejeta
- Very nice parks altogether.
To improve :
- The duration of drives from a park to the next had been underestimated of an hour or so each time. Long drives on the road and less time for safaris.
- The itinerary included 4 parks which was too many in our opinion for only 6 days, especially as drives were longer than expected. 3 parks would have been enough.
- On our last day, the hotel booked by Mwema (Falcon Heights) was 35 minutes down the road from the entrance of the park. We lost over an hour and a half that day driving back and forth.

Adventure in Africa
Simon's organisation, communication and knowledge ensured that my two safaris were simply amazing. His attentive nature via Whatsapp completely affirmed the fact that I had made the correct decision after choosing to book with him. He provided a variety of different and detailed quotes as my requirements changed. He then ensured everything ran smoothly before, during and after our collection by the drivers.
I'll be back in East Africa next year and will undoubtedly use his services again.

since de begining excellente
Every thing was very good, since the atencion of giving prices with Mr. Simmon until
going there, the hotels the food the gide the ca every thing excelent.
For me the only thing, to change the information was tha the climp de hike of Kilimanjaro
it was not easy there ae 9 km to go up and then 9 to go down the same day
so you need certain clothes shoes and information about it. That is not so easy as you mention
in your letters

A truly amazing trip, with no issues just greatness!
Back in January this year our family started planning its biggest (and most costly) trip ever. A safari in Africa has been a dream of mine and we wanted to do it the right way, especially since travelling with our two daughters, aged 8 and 9. We found SafariBookings and contacted few companies, explaining our needs and requirements. Simon from Mwema Africa Safaris was one of them and was really responsive and helpful and we decided to work with them. From the beginning of the planning until the end of the trip, Simon was highly helpful, respective of our needs, questions and fears, and always returned our emails or whatapps messages very swiftly and kindly. He found the right Camps and flights, within budgets and needs, organized our stay there and gave very detailed descriptions and itineraries for our 5 days in Kenya.
At our arrival at Nairobi airport, James from Mwema was waiting for us and gave us information while driving us to our hotel and was there on time the morning after to drive us to the airport for our safari trip. Everything went exactly as planned in Amboseli and Maasai Mara National Parks (so beautiful and beyond any expectations - we even saw all Big 5's in the Maasai Mara) and we were greeted by him again at the end of our trip and driven to the Nairobi airport for our flight back.
I can only strongly recommend Simon and Mwema Africa Safaris for a personalized trip, organized based on your needs and budget. Our family had the time of their life and the fact that we didn't have to care about details, only enjoy our stay, and were in total confidence with the planning made it even more memorable.
Thank you Simon and your team for making this dream a reality with lasting memories!

Great safari
We booked a short safaritrip with Mwema Safaris for our family. We were very satisfied. Communication was fast and easy, everything was very clear in the tour description, the price was fair and the safari in Amboseli was great.
Excellent service, very responsive to clients needs/requests, good pricig
Mwema offers competitive pricing with different levels of accommodations offered.
I communicated with Simon. He is very responsive, helpful, and genuine.
I told them what i wanted to do and what my budget is, he would do his best to meet my requests.
Despite many changes i had made to the itinerary prior to the trip, Simon was never upset or gave up on me.
Would definitely recommend Mwema (especially Simon)!
Thank you so much. Our trip was a trip of a lifetime.

Serengeti big and full of animals..
Comparing 2015 Masai Mara experience guiding was weak. The foods in the hotels as well.
Hotel staff was tired and looked unhappy mainly.
We should repeat a few times and wait so long time to reach the desired F&B.

Everything was organized with perfection and the ended up being more amazing than we had imagined.
From the beginning the communication with our safari designer, Simon, was very clear and easy. He designed a safari for us that met all our needs. Both Tsavo East and West were quite when we visited in May, but that was just how we liked it. The lodges didn't have many people as it was off season, but that is how we liked it. We didn't run into many people while in the parks and we saw so much wildlife. Such an amazing experience.
