Truly an amazing safari experience!
We had an unforgettable 6-day mid-range private safari, expertly organized by Mwema Africa Safaris. Our itinerary included the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The goal of our trip to Kenya was to experience its rich wildlife, witness the Great Migration, see the Big 5, and catch the iconic view of Mount Kilimanjaro. As first-time safari-goers, we wanted to make the most of every moment – and thanks to Simon and our incredible driver and guide, Richard, our dream came true!
The entire trip was exceptionally well-organized. Simon was fantastic, providing fast and clear communication through WhatsApp. He was flexible, accommodating all our requests, including adding an extra day to our original itinerary and swapping Lake Naivasha for Lake Nakuru.
One of the best decisions we made was upgrading our vehicle from a van to a Land Cruiser – absolutely worth it! It made a huge difference in comfort and the overall experience.
Richard, our guide, was a true gem. His passion for wildlife and his deep knowledge, gained over more than 10 years of experience, was evident throughout. He had an amazing ability to know exactly where and when to find animals, from cheetahs and lions to elephants and giraffes. His keen eyes also helped us spot more elusive animals hidden in the parks. He was thoughtful, patient, and ensured we had an incredible close-up experience with Kenya’s wildlife.
This safari exceeded all our expectations, and we can’t thank Simon and Richard enough for making it a trip of a lifetime!

Everything went smooth
Everything was organized well - the driver was always on time, prepared and knew where to go. He also drove safely and kept to the speed limits.
The only issue was the road we took from Lake Nakuru to the Mara, where we didn't go the long way around on tarmac, and instead took a secondary road in terrible condition (he wasn't aware the road had deteriorated). In that instance it would have been nice if we'd selected the 4x4. Due to the road, we arrived too late at the Mara for a decent game drive, but the driver made up for this the next day by taking us on a full day drive with packed lunch where we saw every animal on the list, including leopard. The driver (I think Richard?) was very accommodating like that.
Overall, I would say everything was organized very well!

Excellent safari to Tsavo east and west
I arranged this safari right before I left the U.S. Once I left, I was out of further communication. I really appreciate Mwema coming through as they had stated before I left the States--it was a month until the actual safari, but they met me as expected. I highly recommend my safari guide, Edward. Besides being patient, knowledgeable, and kind, he had eagle eyes and was incredible at spotting game. The lodges were very nice, with loads of game right outside my window at both places. I highly recommend Mwema for trustworthiness, and for providing an excellent safari.

Safari is the best part of Kenya but be prepared for lower service quality
We had with my wife a private 3 day Safari. The trip started in Amboseli, which was amazing - lot of animals and beautiful nature views. Kibo camp where we stayed was also great - tents were perfect, cozy and totally comfy. Then we moved to Tsavo West, which was a bit less interesting. It was very dry and we saw almost no animals. Luckily we are huge fans of nature, which was beautiful also there, so we were happy anyway - but I can imagine that "regular" tourists would be disappointed from seeing no animals there. The Ngulia Lodge where we stayed was also not a very nice place - very old, empty and with low service quality. Our guide Anthony was a nice guy, however he was more like a driver than a guide. He drove us safely to all of our agreed places, but he didn't provide us many additional information - only the name of an animal and some high-level basic info. He also paid more attention to his "fellow guides" than to us, which caused that we stayed for couple of minutes every 500m, when we met some other Safari car to have a talk with them. In general the Safari was great experience, but the service level could have been much better for so much money.

Our first great safari
It was our first safari. But we really liked it. Simon is very responsible to all our requests. Helped to choose the best option for a safari, as well as a convenient payment system. Everything was organized at a high level. Our guide Anthony is very experienced. It seemed that he knew all the roads and all the best places. We look forward to our new trip together with Mwema Africa Safaris.

Wellorganized, customer oriented to provide full satisfaction beyond expectations.
Though I gave Muema Africa Safaris my itenerary for vacation within a short period of less than 12 hours at the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, all was arranged on time from hotel bookings, excursions arrangements for specific tour destinations at reasonable rates, with tour guides ready to receive us , and constant email followups and updates from Muema Africa Safaris, thus, my family holiday for 3 days was full of wonders and surprises all well co-ordinated courtesy of Muema Africa Safaris. I am considering a christmas vacation again, with Muema Africa Safaris.

Excellent Safari with Mwema Africa
Simon from Mwema Africa Safari is very professional and provided be me with a fair quote for our custom safari in Tanzania (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti). Everything went very smoothly since our first email and the trip was very well organized. This include all ground transportation from Kilimanjaro to Mwanza, national parks entrance fees, flight tickets from Wmaza to Kilimanjaro, up-scaled accommodation, great food, and of course very knowledgeable guide (Kevin) who knew where to look for animals and drove very safely.... Thank you Simon and Kevin

6 Days Safari Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngrongoro in tented camps
Firstly, I would like to thank Simon for the organisation of our safari. He always answered competent and fast all my questions. At the end everything was arranged according to our wishes. Unfortunately we had to adapt something at short notice and he did the upmost to help us.
Secondly, I would like to thank Kevin, our driver. He is not employed by Mwema Africa Safaris, but works closely together with Simon. Already on the evening before our safari started, he passed to check if we had arrived. We felt safe and well looked after during the entire safari. He was always friendly, answered with his vast knowledge all our dozens of questions and did everything to ensure that we had the best experience possible. In the National Parks, the roads may be in a state where even well maintained 4x4 cars may reach their limits. Therefore, we had some technical issues with the car, but Kevin found always a solution to the problem.
I would recommend Mwema Africa Safaris to anyone interested in booking a personalised, perfect Safari.
