Safari Kenya December 2022
We were travelling with mufasa from the 5th to the 14th of December 2022.
We took a private tour with them in a van including a night in Nairobi for relaxing and a safari in tsavo west and east, amboseli, lake navasha and lake nakuru and the last stop was the masai mara.
How were the game drives by their Professional and skilled guide Odhis?
Odhis was a very good driver. We felt very safe with him on the roads and during the game drives he was always finding the best spot for taking pictures of the animals while being also very respectful with them, giving them space and leaving them alone after some time.
He was able to explain also some things about the life and habitat of the animals and he explain also some things about culture and politics in Kenya.
We were also always agreeing three day before the schedule of the next day. We would recommend Odhis to any of you!
How were the camps we provided during the trip?
We took the middle range category and all the camps were great. Service and food were amazing in all of them and the facilities were really beautiful, being able to enjoy wildlife from the window or from the swimming pool.
How did you love our services in general from start to end and communication-wise?
Since we contact Joshep for information about the safari, communication was very smooth. He was answering our questions and providing us with the requested information. He came im person to the hotel, the night before the tour started for breafing us about the tour and get paod. Everything what was written in the email was done during the tour. However we had to modify the planning of the last day and divide it into the las two days since it would have been impossible to complete everything in just one day taking into account the long distances between one park and another. This is maybe the only negative point about this part.
Did we meet your expectations?
Our expectations were met by far! Everything worked as agreed since the moment we arrived into Nairobi Airport. We were able to see all big fives several times, from many perspectives and in a lot of different situations so we loved it.
The only thing we would maybe modify is to plan some relaxing afternoons in the hotel instead of so many game drives since at the end it is a lot ot time in the car which make the trip a little bit exhausting.
All in all we really enjoyed the service, quality and honesty of Mufasa Tours. If we would make a Safari in Kenya again we would repeat with them for sure.
Thanks a lot to Odhis and Joseph!!
Hakuna matata!!

A brilliant experience
It was a pleasure to travel with Mufasa Tours for our Amboseli Safari. There was an ease of quick and smooth communication at every point of the process from discussing tour options to booking and arranging specific plans with Polly. The tour itself was organised and we felt informed and consulted throughout the experience. Nelson our game driver was a pleasure to work with, a great conversationalist and knowledgeable whist always ensuring we felt safe at every stage of our journey. Our accommodation at Kibo Camp was clean, comfortable and well organised. Overall a fantastic Safari experience and we look forward to many more tours with Mufasa.

Thanks a lot, for the incredible experience.
After extensive research I reached out to Mufasa. Their replies were kind, prompt and thorough - overall, very professional and highly informative (Thanks very much Caroline).
I was keen to get a reasonably priced yet high quality safari, and Mufasa delivered - everything was customised according to my wishes. My driver/guide, Mr. Nelson, an excellent human being with keen eyes for game, made my trip perfect. He went above and beyond to ensure I always felt safe and comfortable. In addition to wildlife (The Big Five and many more), I have seen the snowy crown of Mt Kilimanjaro; swamps that stretch across the countryside as far as the eye could see; huge expanses of grassy plains and thorn bushlands; lush oases, the spectacular ‘Shetani Lava’ flows; forests of gorgeous beauty; and of course, the mighty ‘Mara River’.
Accommodations were clean, comfortable and perfectly ready for me. And the food was great. Overall, I had an excellent time, and I would strongly recommend Mufasa to anyone who wants to experience Africa.
Asante Sana

Superb driver, amazing lodgings and safari!
From the minute I asked for a quote for a 2night, 3 day safari, Mustafa tours gave me all the information I needed and excellent options.
The safari didn’t disappoint and Caroline’s communication was excellent and quick. She assigned us a superb driver (Collin) and he made sure every part of our tour was incredible. He did everything to help us see the big 5 and we saw some other magical things.
We stayed at Zebra Plaines and the staff and food were fantastic too. Much more luxurious than I imagined.
Highly recommend!

Great company, excellent safari
Great experience with Mufasa !
Communication with Joe was easy. He got what we wanted and adapted the plan to our wishes and our budget. Camps were super nice, we didn’t have to worry about anything and just enjoyed the trip ! Even when something happened (a forgotten airport transfer), he reacted quickly and got us a solution in a minute.
Our guide Joseph Njiiri was also great !He is a safe and cautious driver. He is also very interesting, and he talked with us about his country, wich made the transfer between parcs really nice. He also knows a lot about Flora and Fauna of thoses ecosystems, and knows well animal behavior He really got what we were looking for (get away from crowded places, take time to look at the animals, take time to get good photo or even just enjoying the moment) and he worked hard everyday to get us some really magical moments !
On top of that he speaks fluently french, and is really fun !
If we were to book again, we wouldn’t change a thin, it was perfect !

Highly recommended
Starting from the initial communication with the recommendations to the 7-day safari tour was excellent!! Nelson was our guide and we just had an amazing time, we were never rushed, we saw hundreds of animals and he was excellent at communicating with us in explaining certain species and their behavior. The accommodations and the food were simply spectacular.
We added to our experience with MUFASA snorkeling and dolphins visit tour at Diani beach that was simply spectacular.
RECOMMENDED!!

professinal, reliable, fun
we booked a father-son - 4 day - safari.
first off, all, we were helped before and after the booking, working with flexible, smart, reliable people.
on the morning of day 1 we were met by our safari expert guide - Julius, who from there on was by our side, supporting every wish or request, showing professionalism during the safari in the Maasai Mara and in lake Nakuru.
Safari was great - especially the camp in Maasai Mara.
we saw almost every animal from up close and were very content with the whole trip.
on the way back to nairobi we stopped at lake NAIVASHA for a shoer boat safari which was worth a while
thanks, Mufasa tours with special thanks to Julius and Joel.

Highly recommanded tours from this company!!!
We got an emergency just the day before the trip. Polly(The contact person ) tried her very best to help us rearranging the trip. We had quite a few amendment but she handled them very patiently and professionally with putting our benefit first.
We got a 3 days trip to Tsavo West and East. Fantastic trip and well taken care by Bashir ( our tour guide and driver). Very friendly , informative, always keeping up with time, very good driving skill keeping us safely and very good eyesight spotting animals even faster than the safari guide from lodge.
Everything is well organised and informed. Definietly will join tour from the same company and request the same driver for our next safari trip in Kenya, maybe for the Great Migration.
Colin was very professional, generous with his information, highly committed we saw everything!
I would strongly recommend Mufasa tours and travels to anyone who would want the ultimate experience of wild life, especially Colin who was out tour guide and the one driving us; we had an absolutely great time with him he was very generous with his information and such a great company with positive spirits, he just made the whole thing an absolutely unforgettable experience.
Mufasa tours and travels have made a great program for us and timing was always spot on with Colin: picking us up from the hotel in Nairobi to Masai Mara he has have taken care of everything from the hotel to the game drive to even our lunch packed for the days we stayed out late for the game drive, the game drive was fantastic we got to see the big five animal in the wild and we also saw a double kill! : 2 Cheetahs haunted and Zebra and then the lioness came for them to take on the Zebra while the cheetahs ran off, it was Amazing to see it and Colin was so nice to always make sure we see it all from the best views allowing us to take the best photos
We then went to lake Nakuru as part of our program to see the flamingos and the rhinos and saw Cubs too! And the water falls was fantastic
Then we went to lake Nivasha and this is where we got to experience walking next to animals like Giraffes and taking great pictures, from the point it was time to say goodbye and Colin dropped us off in the airport, he was the best and the whole experience was worth every penny
