Great Family Safari
4/5

We had a lovely experience with Mwema Africa Safaris. They provided an excellent price for the dates and style safari we were looking for. They were accommodating, listening closely that we had family members ranging in ages from 78 to 3 years, and made sure each member had a great experience. We visited Serengeti )2 nights central), Ngorongoro Crater (2 nights), and Lake Manyara. They met us in Arusha and transferred us to a hotel outside the city, but before doing so they agreed to stop and let us check out a bit of shopping.

Good experience
4/5

My daughter and I booked a 3 day/2 night safari with Mwema, which included pick up from Nairobi and drop-off in Watamu. Simon was very fast at responding to all our queries in advance. Anthony was our driver and safari guide; he was very flexible and knowledgable about the animals. We felt safe and well looked after. We stayed at Kibo safari lodge in Amboseli which we found to be a very friendly place - we loved our spacious tent. Amboseli was great for viewing elephants in particular, though we were also lucky enough to see a variety of other game including a lion and her cubs. Then we moved to Kilanguni Lodge in Tsavo - this was comfortable and has a watering hole right outside - it was rainy season but we imagine this would be amazing in the dry season when animals visit. We also enjoyed the lava flows at Tsavo. All in all a great experience with a good local company. The safari van was a little bit old, but I think is being replaced very soon after having racked up over 150,000 miles!

Everything was organized with perfection and the ended up being more amazing than we had imagined.
4/5

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.

The review below is the personal opinion of Mehmet Tunc and not that of SafariBookings.
Serengeti big and full of animals..
3/5

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.

5/5

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.

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.

A truly amazing trip, with no issues just greatness!
5/5

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!

since de begining excellente
5/5

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

Adventure in Africa
5/5

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.
