Excellent from beginning to the end!
Everything was great since the beginning! I decided to pay by pesapal, but I had some issues with it. I was supported during the whole time and costumer service team helped me during the process! All went well in the end.
Also, the guide (Nelson - you should ask for him) was very thoughtful and fun during the whole safari! He made us feel comfortable, and even took us to crocodile center in our way back to the airport! He also taught us swali songs and vocabulary! I had a blast! I wish I could stay for more time!

Don’t hesitate to book with Mufasa!
My safari with Mufasa Tours and Travels did not disappoint! As others have said in their reviews, communication with Lewis and Joseph pre-tour was clear and helpful (both through email and WhatsApp). I ended up choosing a private tour rather than a “joining tour,” meaning I was the only passenger in the van. At first, I was a bit hesitant to be on my own and was afraid I would feel lonely. However, my driver Kevin was an absolute gem - as a trained ornithologist and teacher, his knowledge and commentary made my experience come alive. (For those who have never gone on safari before, be prepared to be rattled around quite a bit in your van as your driver navigates the terrible roads. Kevin was careful to make the ride as comfortable as possible.) Even though February isn’t peak safari season, I saw so much. Kevin knew the more active spots to visit in the park, so I saw lions, cheetahs, hippos, giraffes, elephants, and much more! Truly a “bucket list” experience.

Tight yet fruitful 2-day journey to Hell's Gate, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru
I did a private two-day tour with Mufasa Tours and Travels in late January 2020.
Lewis has been very patient in dealing with my endless inquiries. He always replies my email so fast. He helped me design the two day itinerary from scratch, as well as book train tickets that connects my journey.
My guide and driver Nelson is local from Nakuru. He's familiar with the geography and animals along the journey. We managed to see 6 white rhinos, the goal and highlight of my trip. We also saw lots of other star animals. especially the impalas of the Hell's Gate, the hippos and pelicans of Lake Naivasha, and the Rothschild's giraffes of Lake Nakuru.
Thank you Mufasa for all you have done!
It was a seamless booking process
The Safari Tour was unique, as extraordinary traffic resulted in a 10hour journey from Nairobi to Nakuru due to the Youth Service Parade. It would have been far longer except for the driver, Nelson's intervention which saw some tactical driving and strong hospitality and always good cheer. I would strongly recommend both driver and tour operator.

Amazing Tour!
Mufasa Tours and Travels was great from the start. Joseph was very attentive to our needs and helped us plan an amazing 3 day tour just as we envisioned. Our tour guide Joe was great! Whatever questions we had about the game drives, lounging, and tour overall he was able to answer. Very knowledgable. I would recommend this tour if you are looking for a fun, safe, hospitable experience

Enjoyable safari with friendly, thoughtful driver/guide!
From the first enquiry, Joseph was always very prompt to reply to email queries and kept us well informed. Nelson, our driver/guide, maintained his Toyota Hi-Ace 4WD pop-top safari vehicle in good order and proved to be a competent, safe driver, both on-road and off-road. Nelson was also very resourceful: due to an oversight, my wife and I had left our passports in Nairobi which might have meant being refused admission to the Masai Mara game park because we were unable to prove our identity. However, Nelson was able to provide the authorities with a plausible excuse for the absence of our passports and we were granted a 24 hour entry pass to the game park! We did a short game drive on the afternoon of our arrival and a full day's drive the following day. We were lucky with the weather which was warm and dry and we saw lots of wildlife, including lions and lionesses. The dirt tracks in the game reserve make for quite a rough, tiring ride, so we appreciated the luxury of the Sopa lodge at the end of each day. However, the approach road to the lodge was probably worse than any in the park and it took 15 - 20 minutes to cover the short distance between the entrance gate to the park and the lodge. On the return journey to Nairobi, a lorry with a broken axle rendered a bridge impassable so that the safari vehicles had to ford the river it crossed. One vehicle had failed to ford the river and had to be towed out, losing its front 'bull bars' in the process. Nelson had no trouble fording the river and, in the spirit of mutual assistance between safari drivers, we ended up taking the severed bull bars from the other vehicle to a meeting point on the road to Nairobi. Nelson got us safely back to Nairobi to round off an excellent 3 days in his company and he even taught us a few words of Swahili! We would recommend Mufasa travel for their attention to detail in the arrangements they made and for the excellent driver and vehicle they provided.

A hassle-free, flexible safari trip that delivered on all fronts.
My partner and I booked with Mufasa after seeing that they did the Nairobi to Mombasa trip over three days which worked out perfectly for our itinerary. From the first email I sent, Joseph's replies were polite, punctual and professional. He happily answered all of our questions and kept us in the loop regarding all stages of our trip. We were pleasantly surprised on several fronts - firstly, that we wouldn't be travelling as part of a group and had the van and guide all to ourselves and secondly that we would be collected from our AirBnB in Nairobi and taken right to the doorstep of our accommodation in Diani. Joe, our safari guide was knowledgable, polite and we really felt like he wanted us to see as much as possible over the three days - even suggesting an earlier start on the last day when we had yet to see a lion (which we then spotted within the hour!). Overall, we had some natural worries before booking the tour which were all summarily dispelled by excellent customer service and a flexible attitude to our other arrangements. Top stuff!

Mufasa Tour 3 days Safari
Me and my girlfriend went for a safari in Maasai Mara in February 2020 with Mufasa Tour. We managed to are all the big five!!! Our driver,Anthony, was Always ready to follow the animals in a way that is.not.too much aggressive for them but at the same time cool for us. A smart guy and teach us how ti behave in the savana. We were the ones that spotted the rihno, follow him and than the driver gave the position to the other Cars using the radio. We did 1 and half day, from 16 to 19 the First day and from 6.30 to 16.00 the second One. If you really want to.enjoy the park I suggest you to agreed on the timing in advance ...but for us was perfect! Kirkrok lodge Is the oldes inside the park, luxury but not eccessive . The buffet was delicius and the appartment surrounded by nature. There Is a lake with Hippo and other Animals so that s why you have to be scorted during the night. Super safe!
It Is n Amazing expirience that wveryone once in a Life should do!
Don t think twice and book It now!

The 4-day journey into the wildlife of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
We went on a 4-day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Peter from Mufasa tours and travels.
Whatever questions we had about the animals, traditions or anything else - our guide and driver Peter was able to answer! Also Peter was very helpful to his colleagues that had troubles on the road (not all of them are as good drivers as Peter :) ) and was respectful to animals.
He has huge experience in safaris and it looks like he knows everybody and also knows all animal's favorite places.
Joseph, the contact from the Mufasa, answered all our questions before the safari and helped us a lot!
It was the journey that we will never forget!
Thank you guys!
