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!

Perfect service, very responsive and experienced to answer all questions before booking, while our trip and also to make up our mind for further day trips or extra service.
Simon always gave us a satisfying feeling and guided us through several options which we were able to choose individually.

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.

A hugely enjoyable, well organised experience.
The company communicated well with us, both before and during the excursion.
We were only surprised once; to learn of a last-minute change of one hotel; from the Crater Rim View to the Tanzanice Lodge. But we had no complaints there, because the Tanzanice is stunning! We would happily have stayed there all three nights if it was possible. Actually Tanzanice gave us two family rooms for the price of one, because no-one else was staying that night.
Our only gripe on the hotel front was the final one - the Twiga Lodge in Mto wa Mbu. (Don't confuse it with the one in Arusha!) This was more of a campsite with some rooms around; check-in was like a military camp and our "family room" was one tiny room with three equal-sized beds crammed into it. Barely room to move, but it was for one night, and the food was OK. But it was explained - you pays your money you takes your choice, we went for a low-end deal so they had to choose hotels which fit the budget. We got lucky with the Tanzanice.
The Green Mountain Hotel in Arusha (our first one) was fine - clean, friendly, and had a very impressive restaurant, where everything is cooked from scratch (even the bread) as you watch!
Our 3 day safari took in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. And we thoroughly enjoyed each day - plenty of lions at Ngorongoro. We only missed out on cheetah, didn't see any of them. But that's not the fault of the safari guys!
Our Toyota Land Cruiser had seen much better days - bits falling off it en route and the horn sounding of its own accord occasionally - but we found that rather charming. And we enjoyed the company of our fine guide Julius. A really nice chap with his own interesting history.
I'd have no problem using this company again. Many thanks guys!

Excellent organisation for a good price
Simon answered very quickly, he fulfilled all our wishes and changements in a very professional way, thank you so much!
Our driver (Haji) was a very good driver and a good animal finder. We had so much fun and a great experience in Tansania.
Everything was great.
We can highly recommend Mwema Africa as a Tour Operator!

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
