Absolutely amazing adventure!
Booking my safari seemed like a daunting and overwhelming task but it could not have been easier thanks to Mufasa Tours and Travels. I had so many questions and Joseph responded to every single query with such speed and kindness. We could not have had the wonderful experience we had without the skills and services of our amazing guide and driver Joe! His knowledge, care, and absolute skill at finding animals on our drives and maneuvering the rough and rugged Maasai Mara in our huge tank of a Land Cruiser made every day more memorable and enjoyable than the last. Never mind the 4 days safari I booked, I wanted it to go on for 40 days! The customer service between Mufasa and our selected game reserve hotel was the icing on the safari cake too, as we were upgraded to a bigger room upon check in and received a surprise birthday celebration our last day! The care that everyone had in making sure our vacation was special and wonderful seemed so effortless—I will always be so grateful to Mufasa Tours and Travels for making my safari (something I’ve wanted to take my entire life) even better than I ever could’ve imagined it could be. Asante sana for going above and beyond in every aspect of this journey. Cheers to the next one!

Best/Fastest/Value/Reliable Operator of Kenya
Amazing experience with Mufasa tours. They where the fastest and best priced tours that we had in kenya. we had approached multiple operators but Joseph was the only one responding and helping us out. He was extremely fast in his response with the kenyan touch withch other operators did not provid. ( like less than 1 hour after i sent my emails regardless the hours i would get a response )
We had had a private tours of 6 days taking us at amboseli + nakuru + masai. All was included Car + lodge + food + water + extra internet in the car.
When reaching the airport we where welcomed on the spot by Joseph who had taken us directly to our Car and the Famous Dan our Guide and driver and spotter ( we seriously believe that he has xray eye as he was able to spot animal through the bushes ).
Dan was an amazing tour guide/driver/spotter/superman we where able to see wonderful animal and scene. we even felt as if he had paid the animal to pose for us or to wait for us. We had seen everything we wanted to see and even more than that. Dan was a wonderful driver with a lot of story and information to provide with that smile all the time.
Amazing your operator we would totally recommend them. And if we ever come back they would be our only contacts there.

Amazing safari, very helpful tour guide and excellent accommodation.
5 days safari - Amboseli NP, Tsavo East and Tsave West NP
We decided to go to Kenya for last moment so that was quite challenging to plan everything during 1 week. But thanks to Mufasa Tours and Travels, that was actually very easy. They were always online on whatsapp and helped us with every question. During 24 hrs they sent us suggested itinerary which we did like (we compared 4-5 tour operators from Kenya). Payment was very easy through payment link.
On the sport after arrival our guide was waiting for us. The car with open roof was in a good condition, the accommodation was very well chosen (4 nights - 2 nights in Amboseli NP 10 mins drive from the gate, 1 nigh in Tsavo East and 1 night in Tsavo West inside the park). The accommodation was very good, better then our expectations.
A special thank to our guide Sammy. He was always on time, replied all our detailed questions. He always took with him the books on animal so that he can show us a lot of interesting thing. That was fun to spend time with him and he always did his best to show us the most in the national parks. He is one of best guides I have ever had.

Incredible, wonderful!
Mufasa organized an amazing experience for us. Joseph was incredibly helpful in fulfilling our wants. Our experience with Mufasa was top notch from start to finish. We had 6 amazing safari days with guide Odhis and just the two of us in the jeep. The whole trip was very comfortable, our guide Odhis helped with everything making the trip of a lifetime blessed. Thank you!
Joseph always was in contact and recommend us the best lodges. Response time was super fast, and they always allow guests to create a customized itinerary- a HUGE plus. The lodgings were perfect, just enough luxury without being over the top. The food was lovely and plentiful.
Odhis told us a lot of information about each species, for which I thank him very much! Odhis knew everything about the landscapes and animals and had a super keen sense for where to find all the wildlife (and we saw ALL the wildlife). Odhis was very knowledgeable and we were fortunate to see so many amazing animals and birds. We ran into a pride of lions feasting on a wildebeest while hyenas lurked on the outskirts. Odhis was the most amazing guide and truly made our Safari special. Fun, professional, friendly - his expertise and knowledge of the animals and parks meant we caught some amazing moments on camera, including a 100 strong elephant migration! His definition to finding the animals was second to none too!
If you’re thinking about safari tour, Mufasa travel is the company to do it with. They know what they’re doing and is shows in every aspect of the experience.

Great Safari with Mahmud and the animals of the savannah
We enjoyed our 2-days-1-night safari at Tsavo East and had a pleasant stay at Ashnil Aruba Lodge, which Mufasa Tours & Travels had chosen for us. Mufasa picked us up at the hotel with some delay, drove us to the train station, had booked the train ticket for us and when we arrived in Voi we were picked up at the train station by Mahmud and driven to Tsavo East National Park. Mahmud is a very good guide who knows exactly where to find the animals and who spots them even when they are hiding very well.
We can only recommend Mufasa and will definitely choose them again the next time we come to Kenya.
Pro tip: If they offer you a lunch break after the safari at a touristy restaurant close to the park, better try to skip it. Lunch is free and okay but but the people of the souvenir store next door will not let up until you have bought something there.

Wonderful safari experience, best experience in most reasonable price
Had an great safari experience, Joseph was very responsive in managing the travel plans and accomodoting the requests. The rate was very reasonable compared to other agents. Daniel (guide and driver) was very friendly and experienced to spot animals. Bike ride to Hells gate national park was the best part that I enjoyed where the animal could be spotted on the sideways while riding bike.

Everything is possible with Mufasa T&T
We visited Kenya during very challenging times, when the second COVID 19 pandemic wave was at the peak. There were numerous restrictions, lockdown, and curfew in place. It was a very challenging time, but Mufasa Tours and Travels made it safe and easy!
We arrived in Kenya on 27 March 2021. Just a day prior our arrival, Kenyan president Kenyatta announced new restrictive measures and lockdown. The restrictions included lockdown and a ban on all nonessential movement between Kenyan regions (counties). Upon our arrival, we were confused and worried. The first thing what needed to be done was the revision of all our plans. So one of the first things that we did in Nairobi was the visit to Mufasa Tours and Travel's downtown office. We had exchanged several emails prior our arrival and they seemed to be highly professional. We wanted to find out if even there was a possibility of any real safari. Thanks to the great effort of Joseph and the rest of Mufasa team (that we highly appreciate and we will not forget), we managed to have our safari, regardless how unrealistically it seems at the times. As roads were closed, in few hours Joseph manage to find for us seats on tomorrow morning flight to Maasai Mara. We spent three beautiful days in Maasai Mara with local Maasai guide Benson. Benson was great, very professional with passion for his work. The Maasai Mara safari was something special. The experience of driving in Toyota land cruiser through all that mud and finding all that animals, it was one of the best adventures in our lives. A lot of adrenaline, we are thankful for such special experience. Special thanks to Benson for all memorable pictures (lioness feeding babies, cheetahs hunting, giraffes selfies, big lion posing only for us, sunset with elephants, Maasai village, etc.).
After three days, with the last flight from Maasai Mara, we manage to arrive in Nairobi just in time to meet with Joseph and our new guide / driver Ibrahim. Ibrahim took us to Lake Nivasha, we spent the night in a beautiful lodge at lake with hippos, and the next day we went to Amboseli. In Amboseli, Ibrahim made sure that we enjoy every minute of three-day visit. He is local Maasai from Amboseli and during one of our drives, we had the opportunity to meet his daughter and son. All the time, we felt safe and comfortable, every safari was enjoyable. We will never forget the sunrise from the balloon with white Kibo in the background.
Our initial plan was to go to Diani Beach after we finish with safari, unfortunately due to government restrictions it was impossible to go via train or plane. So we decided to ask Joseph once more for support, and once more Mufasa team proved to be safe and reliable. For an affordable price, Ibrahim took us with land cruiser to our hotel at Diani Beach. It was an excellent experience, driving through the western part of Kenya parallel to the Tanzania border. It is not a place that tourist visit often, basically it was one more safari. Worth to mention that land cruiser was always well equipped with water and we had all the time free Wi-Fi. Big thanks to Ibrahim for excellent driving, it took us around eight hours, but it was unique and worth experience.
On our way back, with still restrictions and curfew in place, of course that we contacted Joseph to get us back to Nairobi. This time with minivan by highway. Our next driver was Odhis, not less professional and reliable than Benson or Ibrahim.
Big thanks to Musafa Tours and Travels team for all organising and making possible our safari, despite impossible conditions. Big thanks to our guides / drivers for all smiles, friendliness, and answers to all our questions and requests. Thanks for making our vacation great despite so challenging conditions. Thank you for being our friends at any time, it was filling great to be in safe hands all the time. It's good to know that we have friends in Kenya.
One more big thanks to Joseph, Benson, Ibrahim, Odhis and the rest of Mufasa team.
Until the next safari, all the best from Croatia,

Fantastic
Joseph responded really quickly to my enquiry, which was last minute but he arranged my 2 day safari to Tsavo East really promptly. Mahmud my guide was super knowledgeable and friendly, and we saw lots of amazing animals. The hotel that Mufasa Tours had booked for me was incredible - basic room but the view and watering hole nearby was just unreal. Thanks so much - would 100% recommend!
