An amazing safari experience!
We had an unforgettable two days safari organized by Simon.Simon’s organization and attention to detail made everything run smoothly. Our guide Richard is also such a knowledgeable and passionate guide. His insights and enthusiasm made every moment of the safari special, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the journey.
You both played a huge part in making this trip unforgettable, and I’m truly grateful for the experience!

Unforgettable experience
Our experience with Mwema was absolutely incredible. For five unforgettable days, Paul was our guide, not only leading us to witness the amazing wildlife but also providing insightful information about each animal we encountered. Throughout our stay at different hotels, Paul was always present—offering guidance, introducing us to various activities, and helping us explore the surroundings. He struck the perfect balance between supporting us but also giving us lots of freedom to discover and explore things on our own. Without a doubt, we’d rate the experience 5/5 and can’t wait to do it again!

Amazing experience and great introduction to Kenya
From the beginning it was really easy to communicate with the tour operator. We contacted him on what’s app and he always replied quickly. He accommodated changes to the standard itinerary.
On the first morning, our driver Davy collected us. He was fantastic! Always cheerful and helpful with even the smallest tasks. Davy always went above and beyond to give us an authentic Kenyan experience. We were two girls travelling alone and we always felt so safe and secure with him. We are so grateful for everything.
For the safari, we chose to visit naivasha, Nakuru and massi Mara where we saw all of the big 5. The accommodation was really comfortable despite it being the budget option and the staff in hotels were super friendly. We will be back and hope our guide Davy will be free to take us again!

No complaints!
We were a group of 3 and our guide was Gabu. We visited Masai Mara, lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East during our 6 day safari.
We are very happy with our tour, Gabu was very professional.

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!

Excellent! Well organized, prepared for every scenario.
We had a 5 days budget safari to Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara. The accommodations were basic, but that's what we expected for the price. Everyone was kind, had no problems. The tour operator did all he could to make us comfortable. Masai village is a bit of ripoff, but that's not the fault of the tour operator. Later we had a one full day trip to Nairobi National Park, where there was a little bit of misunderstanding but we managed to talk it through.
Tour operator is very flexible, the communication is very good. Absolutely satisfied.
I would chose them again.

Excellent: we recommend it!
We booked the tour from Italy via Whatsapp and from the beginning the organiser was very professional and helpful in providing everything we asked for, as well as very patient. Once in Nairobi our guide Alfred came to pick us up at the hotel and he made us have an amazing experience: thanks to him we had a wonderful Safari and we managed to see all The Big Five in just a couple of days (even though the Safari was 6 days long). He was a very careful and good driver, besides being an experienced and professional guide that not only showed us the wildlife of the Parks but also thaught us many cultural and social aspects of Kenyan people. Most importantly he behaved as a caring friend that made us feel home throughout the whole trip. We are grateful for having met Alfred and booked with Mwema Safaris: we totally recommend it to anyone who wants to have a real taste of Africa.

Safari with small kid with Mwema
Communicated with Simon while we were still in USA via WhatsApp.. he was good in explaining all the intricacies and details of this safari trip. When landed at NBO, his assigned Tour guide / driver Mr. Richard picked us up from Airport and we were on our way to Masaai Mara. Richard was very good and knowledgeable. He made us comfortable and spoke perfect English. He spotted animals and other key things to see which we would have never spotted. Driving skill wise he was good and not aggressive on road which is how we like it to be. We needed some help mid safari and Mr. Simon was able to help us out and modify trip accordingly. We selected mid option for stay between budget and Luxury and were generally happy with the camps..Throughout the trip Richard was happy to stop wherever we wanted for pictures and even went back as we forgot our charger in one of our camp. Overall we are very happy and would recommend them to anyone looking for good safari. PS Simon is USA based to its easy to deal with for USD transfer, etc

Brilliant - great communication throughout
From the second Simon sent through our original quote, everything was so easy. Simon helped me to upgrade a few of our lodges, so we built ourselves a custom package, which was absolutely perfect. Starting in a beautiful tented-campsite near the Masai Mara, and finishing in the most breath taking lodge near Amboseli. Simon also passed on our dietary requirements and all of the camps looked after us very well.
Our guide/driver was Paul, who was so welcoming. Paul was able to answer all of our questions, ensured we took lots of great photos and made sure we felt safe at all times during the trip. Paul is charismatic and great fun to hang out with.
Thanks so much for our amazing safari - we hope to be back very soon!
