Our first safari in Africa
This was our first safari trip in Africa, my husband and I chose Tanzania and we booked through Mwema Africa Safaris agency. We wanted to see as much as possible, especially to have a good diversity of nature and animals so we chose 6 days tour, starting in Tarangire, then spent two nights in Serengeti, one in Ngorongoro crater, finishing in lake Manyara. My communication with Mr Mwema was perfect, I had millions of questions (as it was first trip of this kind and I was very much involved in every aspect of the planning). The tour was flexible and I could add or change things (such as flights, accomodations especially in Arusha - there was no problem at all). Our guide was Osman (collaborating agency from Arusha as Mwema is based in Nairobi), amazing guy and great character as well. We wanted to see the big 5, so he really did his best to look for the animals and we managed to see them. Accommodations were great everywhere, we especially liked tented lodge (with en suite bathroom) in a camp in Serengeti savanna! That was the highlight of our trip. Staff in the camp was extraordinary, food, environment, everything. The camp is situated in the middle of savanna and animals walk free around it - you can see and hear them. I recommend warmly Mr Mwema and his collaborators in Tanzania. We hope to come back for Kilimanjaro hike next year.

Our first great safari
It was our first safari. But we really liked it. Simon is very responsible to all our requests. Helped to choose the best option for a safari, as well as a convenient payment system. Everything was organized at a high level. Our guide Anthony is very experienced. It seemed that he knew all the roads and all the best places. We look forward to our new trip together with Mwema Africa Safaris.

Taste of Zanzibar
We booked a short Zanzibar tour as an add-on to a safari trip. Zanzibar was our flight/jet lag recovery spot. Simon was very responsive to our wishes, got us a snorkel trip to Mnemba island and a short stay at Kendwa. Took care of every detail of our transfers and two short (too short!) tours of Stonetown and a Bububu spice farm. Simon also booked our flight from Zanzibar to the start of our Serengeti safari in Arusha. We left wishing we'd had more than a taste of Zanzibar, but we had went very well. We were also able to arrange to pay in advance - this was a very useful convenience to us for this part of our trip.
extraordinary! amazing!
Everything outstanding. The guide (Good luck), the truck, the hotels, the landscapings, everithing! More people should do a Safari with thhis company. Best prices also!

Excellent 5-day private Kenya Safari
Private family safari by Landcruiser to Aberdare, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara National Parks. Efficient and responsive service. All details were as expected: accommodation, locations visited, transport. Friendly, knowledgeable guide with good driving skills. Vehicle was somewhat old but completely fit-for-purpose. Overall an excellent experience which can be highly recommended.

Everything worked great exce[t for a small confusion on airport arrival.
I had excellent contact prior to arrival, and good understanding of personal needs and problems with Simon.
Pretty well everything worked out as planned and in a timely fashion. Mwema people did all that was expected and then some. I would certainly go with them again, and commend all involved.

Adventure in Africa
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.

since de begining excellente
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

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