Adventure of a lifetime!
Highly recommended Safari tour!! We had the most amazing time on this 8-day-7-night tour. We were three families (11 in all, including 7 adults, 1 teen, and 3 kids) split between a minivan and a land cruiser. Both our guides were great - Kevin was easy to talk to, and very accommodating of our needs, and Anthony was knowledgeable and chatty. They were great at keeping in sync with each other's vehicles as well as at networking with other guides during each of our game drives and ensured that we saw all of the big 5 and the ugly 5 over the course of the tour (Samburu, Ol Pejata and Mara)! The hordes and hordes of wildebeest and zebra crossing a ravine was a remarkable and unforgettable sight.
A big shout out to our tour organizer, Malini, who was a super reliable contact point, and put together a great itinerary for us, that also included Nyahururu (Equator crossing) and Lake Naivasha (where we saw hippos and a ton of birds). Each of Simba lodges at Samburu, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara were comfortable and catered to our dietary restrictions (with the one at Naivasha offering water bucks right within the confines of the lodge!). Serena house at Ol Pejata was beautiful and gave us an opportunity of seeing animals from our dinner table, and the Panari resort was just awesome! With Julia's camp in Mara being the icing on the cake - the tent experience was superb.
We were all impressed with Malini and Mwema, including the littlest member of our group - my 5 year old niece - who had a wonderful time.

Our tour operator Malini gave a package to suit our family (UAE) with mixed age group 5-74 years
An amazing African experience with Mwema safaris. Our tour conductor Malini Samaga operating from UAE customized our eight day tour to suit our family with young children and senior citizens as well with good pricing.
There were no hassles with booking and communications.
The drivers went out of their way to make sure we got the best of sightings. Our driver Mr. Anthony, a very knowledgeable guide kept the children highly entertained yet well informed!
I highly recommend the hot air balloon.
The road leading to Masai Mara is dusty and tedious and under construction. That was the only difficult patch.
The journey back from Masai Mara to Nairobi is loaded with traffic and the timing has to be well planned to reach airport on time as traffic is very heavy and unpredictable.

The best safari we could have had in the best time for a good price!
The communication was effortless and without any unfortunate problems. There were no hidden traps financially and the driver was just the best man. He really tried to give us the best experience for the time we had, and he did. We not only saw the big five, but the super seven and he managed to keep that all smooth and simple. For us it would even be possible with less luxurious accommodations, but them were nice aswell. Thank you so much Simon and Paul!

Unique experience!
Simon answered quickly on my emails and was very polite and courteous. He helped us a lot.
The safari itsself was fabulous. We have seen so many beautyful animals. Our tour guide Rashid has made a great effort to find the hidden animals . He informed us about the different landscapes and knew many things about the animals. He answered all questions thoroughly!
Thank you for this unique experience! We had a wonderful trip with you!

A very pleasant safari experience in a beautiful landscape and with confortable lodging
As a hole our safari trip with Mwema to Meru National Park was very good. We had previously been to Maasai Mara and we really liked the diversity of the landscape in Meru. We didn't see a lot of animales but the senery was outstanding!
We found the lodging very comfortable and the food and service was good.
The only thing that we were a bit disappointed with was our driver/guide. He was at times more interested in his cell phone than in searching for animales. We where also a bit annoyed when we had to wait for him after the lunch break going back to Nairobi, not knowing where he had gone.
Obviously he had some privat matters to attend to that took some time...

customized tour, fast reply, reasonable price, I really recommend.
Simon replied my e-mail and what's app message very fast, and we preferred customized tour and hotel, he satisfied all our requirements very well. Before we departed, 10% deposit is required, and the payment can be done in a very safe way. Evans was our driver, he is very kind, experienced, and also has good eyes to find animals, we saw all the "Big Five" animals thanks to him. Really fantastic experience with Mwema, if I want to explore Africa in the future, I will definitely choose them again.

Very good safari operator! Professional, trustworthy, and informative!
Simon at Mwema Africa Safaris was very communicative and helped us work through the costs, schedules and payments. We made a number of specific requests and changes, and Simon was able to accommodate everything. It was very easy to arrange. Our guide, Goodluck, was excellent! Our plane was delayed for hours, and he was still waiting at the airport for us at midnight. He was an excellent guide and did a very good job at helping us find the best viewpoints in each of the national parks. Unfortunately we had to cut our trip short because of a work emergency. Simon and Goodluck helped us rearrange our itinerary at the very last second, and even arranged to secure us a partial refund. I recommend this tour operator wholeheartedly.
100% satisfaction
Our driver Rashid had all knowledge needed, answered all our questions and was very helpful in anything we needed. Can only recommend!
