Very Good
We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has made an effort to make this safari tour for us.
Especially with Mr. Simon, who organized everything very well. Our driver was very dedicated and competent. Our accommodations were also very good.
Mwema Africa Safaris is highly recommended. Thanks again for everything.

The Best Experience
My friend and I decided to go on a safari after volunteering for a few weeks in Uganda. We were a little concerned prior to booking due to the fact that we are both younger and don't have much experience outside of the country without our families. However, I don't think we could have picked a better company. I personally picked this safari due to the good reviews and they did not disappoint! Everything was clear and went smoothly. We received a pre-departure packet prior to leaving that had a detailed description of everything we would be doing throughout the trip. Simon was always quick to answer our emails/ questions and our tour guide was amazing! He made sure we saw all the animals possible and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five within the first two days. I can not say enough good things about this safari. Highly recommend this company to any first timers looking for a smooth, well planned out, and fun safari tour where you're able to see lots of up close animals!

Perfect in every way.
Our experience with Mwema Africa was excellent from start to finish. After deciding to go to Ol Pejeta, Samburu, and Meru, we reached out to 5 companies for information and quotes. Simon provided the most comprehensive and helpful information by far and one of the lowest quotes. He gave us tips for saving money, and made a great suggestion to upgrade one tent camp for a slight price increase, which we found very much worth it. Simon's communication was prompt and thorough from inquiry through departure, making recommendations when we wanted them and booking things we decided on. We stayed at Serena Sweetwaters, Samburu Inrepids, and Ikweta in Meru.
Our driver James was incredible. Unlike me, he was always early - and waited patiently. With 25 years experience, he knew Samburu and Ol Pejeta inside out. Meru isn't as commonly visited (we only saw one other car in 1.5 days of game drives) and he competently navigated that park as well.
Our safari far exceeded our expectations from day one. James was a superb spotter and freely shared his vast knowledge about all types of wildlife. We saw the last two northern white rhino, a huge male lion, several prides of lions, approximately ten cheetahs, tons of elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, all species of antelopes, and many rhinos and hippos. James went to great lengths to also find an elusive leopard in a tree. We saw a number of Somali and regular ostriches and were treated to a mating dance by a pair in Ol Pejeta. That is quite a sight! We were in a safari van, not a land rover, and he still got us very much offroad for the best viewings.
As we spent 6 days together, James also answered various questions about the Kenyan economy, life in Nairobi, etc.
And for anyone wary of aggressive driving, James is a 100% within the speed limit type of driver (who very competently navigates Nairobi traffic as well as the many unpaved, challenging roads shared by cars, motorbikes, pedestrians and livestock.)
They are a small company that has been around for 20 or so years. I hope to return and would absolutely book with them again.

Europian Professionalism and warm African heart
We spent 5 safari days in Kenya (Masai Mara, Lake Naiwasha, Chyulu Hills, Tsavo East). This agency was recommended to me by some friends who made a safari with them last year.
Everything was simply perfect : Simon, "the boss", is always present by web site, Whatsapp, email, with African geniality and great professionalism. Everything was clear and simple from the beginning of our relationship to the end of it, and during the trip as well : he sent to me a quotation in advance, with prices and accomodation proposals, we chosed the most suitable for us and he booked everything and everything worked perfectly. We also asked him to book a hotel in Nairobi for the night of our arrival and a restaurant in Nairobi for the night of our departure, and he arranged anything.
Our guide and driver Moses maybe is not the "always on time man", but he's really experienced, very sympathetic and a very good driver.
So thank you all, guys! We hope we can meet you next time we'll come in your amazing country.
Katia, Lino, Linda & Gianpiero

Safari to the north of Nairobi.
The safari was a great contrast to the more well known parks to the south. We visited Ol Pajeta, Samburu and Meru. The landscape and wildlife were quite different and not as crowded. Ol Pajeta and Meru were great places to see Rhinos up close.
Simon was a great organiser for our trip. He was always prompt and efficient with any enquires. Richard was a brilliant guide and even knew all the bird names. We only had 6 days but it was a brilliant trip.
