Like a king among the kings
5/5

I came across Mwema by chance on the internet and, after some quotations received from about 20 different tour operators, I realized the one proposed by them was the cheapest (2000-2500 dollars for a 4nights-5days private safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, all inclusive).
Although I had no reference about this tour operator, I plucked up the courage to run the risk to book the safari with them. In the following days I kept in contact with Simon, the owner of the company, who proved to be a very kind, patient and qualified person.
Then I made an advance payment from Italy (we agreed it would be 10% of the amoutn) and, when I was there and safari started, all the possible hesitations disappeared because I was really treated like a king among the kings, that is many lions I had the luck to see.
Driver was Emanuel, a very smart and kind person.
Parks were fantastic, a sort of paradise on earth, and this period of the year proved to be a very good choice for me (low season but no rain, few tourists, lower but not low prices).
The only bad aspect was the place i stayed the 1st night, Twiga Lodge in Mto Wa Mbu, very poor arrangement with a very money-oriented receptionist. Last but not least, the structure was under renovation.

Excellent experience
5/5

From the moment we placed a booking the communication was excellent. All through the process of booking our trip, the responses were quick and in the end the safari had all the elements in it that we liked. Communication was clear and easy. The night before we were picked up, one of te guys of Mwema came by the hotel to inform us on all kind of specifics, very good. The actual safari was all we had wished for. We had an excellent driver, he was knowledgeable, kind and a very good wild life spotter.
We would recommend Mwema Safaris to everyone, keep on the good work!

Thank you very much for your coordinating Safari tour as our honeymoon!
All experience on the savannah life has been something precious for us.
For a driver, he was a nice guy and also very kind to us always.
I really appreciate it so much.

Excellent safari to Tsavo east and west
5/5

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.

Friendly, uncomplicated, trustworthy and well organized: Great experience!!
5/5

Tourmanager Simon was absolutely helpful. He replied very fast on my emails and answered all my questions patiently and tried to make everything is asked for possible. Even when we've been already in Kenya he was available for further questions (via telephone, mail and whats app) which was very comfortably and easy for us.

Our guide Hassan was a gem. He had a huge knowledge and tried to make everything possible for us to see as many animals as possible. If you read this, Hassan: Thank you very much. We miss you ;-)

Unforgettable Safari! Amazing adventure and great experience due to Simon and his Team.
5/5

Simon and his team made our trip run smoothly, from the pickup at the airport, to the last drop off for our departure. Simply through Whatsapp or a phone call, were able to be in touch with Simon to answer any questions or doubts we encountered.

The safari experience at the camp was more than amazing and we got to see The Big 5 in just two days. All of the staff at the camp made us feel so welcome and at home.

Thank you so much Simon and the Team!

Most Romantic Valentines Ever
5/5

Simon from Mwema safaris is one of the kindest coolest most ptofessional people that ive ever dealt with. I took my boyfriend there for an early Valentine's day surprise and Simon hooked it all up there were a few small hickups along the way but the most memorable vacation for us.
On arrival to the mara i did not know what to expect the camp ilkiliani was clean and modern amazing tour guides we saw the big 5 in 2 days even after our amazing trip i contacted simon to get me a reciepe from the chef and he hooked that up too.
Seriously im such a fussy person i really killed him with all my demands and questions but simon never left me hanging always replied via whats app immediately and im not sure if he actually sleeps but hes always available. Stronly rate both simon and the camp 5 stars each.

My boyfriend and I went on a 4-day safari in Nakuru + Masai Mara. We can highly recommend Mwema! The company is very professional and has some of the best value for money we've seen.

Tsavo east/west with Edward
5/5

Very satisfied customers. Private minivan split 4 ways with eagle eyed Edward taking very good care of us. Didn't expect to see anywhere near as much as we did. Would highly recommend. Wow!
