Highly professionnal agency, the service is at his best
Great communication, very reactive. The service is great as well, conform to the proposition. That's the best deal around !
We recommend Mufasa and Nelson.
We had an amazing 6-day safari with excellent value for money.
It felt easy to communicate with Joseph before the trip. He managed to organize a great first safari for us that fit our limited budget.
Nelson was there to pick us at the airport with his reliable van. He was an experienced driver and a knowleadgable guide. There was no road or path he could not drive and we covered long distances quickly. We didn’t mind the long distances between the national parks as we would admire the landscapes and many local towns. Thanks to Nelson we learned a lot about the animals and Kenyan culture. He entertained us with stories from his childhood and his family which made the experience more personal.
We spent two nights at Amboseli and one night near Lake Nakuru before heading to Masai Mara for two nights. The lodges and Masai Mara’s tented camp were outside the national parks but not far from the gates. There were several power outages when staying near Masai Mara but we considered it part of the experience.
Nelson did everything in his power so we could see the Big Five and mission accomplished! We also managed to see many other mammals and different birds. We went to the Mara river for the crossing but could not see the event when we were there in the third week of August.
Overall, we would certainly use Mufasa’s and Nelson’s services again should we return to Kenya some day with our friends or family.

Very professional and helpful
Great tour company provided us with customised tour, understood our requirements well, we had grt time with Mufasa, our tour guide (James) was the best and the details provided and made us understand each single details before coming for the trip (Joel). James tried his best to make sure we are able to see all the Big 5 and migration. Most recommended company from Kenya.

Great people, great experience
We had a great experience thanks to Musafa Tours.
The booking process went smoothly and our contact, Joel, was always swift with replies to our questions. We had a 3 day tour to Tsavo East and West. Collection from our hotel in Nairobi was on-time, with Joel also there to introduce our driver and guide, Peter. Our minivan was basic but became our home on the road.
Peter was a great host and a safe and experienced driver. He answered all manner of questions and requests. Most importantly, he was amazing at spotting various animals and pointing them out to us.
The accommodation at Serena Lodge was even better than we expected. We were able to watch countless animals coming and going at the watering hole right in front of us as we ate dinner! From the balcony of our room, which was clean and in good condition, we could also see animals wandering by. Aruba Lodge was good too although not quite the same level as Serena (no wifi in rooms).
The journey back to Nairobi is long but not unpleasant. Peter was very accommodating and we were dropped at a convenient spot near the airport for our flight back to UK.
I would definitely recommend Musafa Tours.
Big thanks to Joel and Peter and all the Mufasa team.

Phenomenal tour operators
My overall experience with Mufasa tours was phenomenal. I’ll start with my first initial contact with Pauline. She was very responsive, professional and transparent. Communication was spot on! Being a female solo traveler planning my first safari trip it was very important to me that I was staying in a safe place and that the trip was thoughtfully planned. I am extremely happy with the accommodations at Mara Bush Camp that Pauline had arranged for me. The food was better than many five star restaurants I’ve been at. The grounds were well protected by staff. Nelson the manager was so welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. Any many other staff members made my stay there memorable. Thank you Flavia, Leakey, Donald! Last but not least the trip would have not been the same if it wasn’t for Collin my private game tour guide…aka captain Collin. He made sure the game drives were fully enjoyed. From starting the drives as early as requested to having breakfast and lunch packed to assure we had food while being out on a full day drive. I wouldn’t have gotten the picture and videos that I have of the amazing animals if it wasn’t for Collin and his suggestions and driving locations. More than that his demeanor of life has also impacted my life and way of thinking. Hakuna Matata…his favorite saying kept me at ease and made me realize there’s no reason to over stress. Thank you all so much for making this the most epic and memorable trip.

Definitely Would Recommend
I had a great experience on my Kenya Safari trip thanks to Mufasa and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Communication was excellent. I called their hotline at 4am Kenya time while I was having issues with the airline and they answered. They were even able to help me with a visa issue and get it expedited in a couple hours to my surprise. In the unfortunate chance that something happens, you can count of them to help resolve any issue at any time.
The lodges that were booked exceeded my expectations, as well as the food they provided. The game drives were incredible and our guide Hosea was a lot of fun and knowledgeable. I also needed to kill some time before boarding my flight out on the last day and Mufasa kindly prepared a day tour of Nairobi with John and James who were both great as well. I will hopefully be back again soon in the future.

Amazing experience from a great tour company!
We went on two trips in July , an one day trip to Nairobi national park and a safari to the Masai Mara
The first trip to the Nairobi national park was great, our tour guide Hosea was very friendly and we got to see plenty of animals, overall 5/5 experience
On the second safari we had Emmanuel as our tour guide and he was just as great, his knowledge and experience were on full display as we managed to see all we wanted, also a 5/5 experience
All in all, Mufasa was a great choice, the communication with Joel was very smooth, we were able to arrange everything from the pickup location to the time etc.
I would definitely recommend them if you're planning a safari in Kenya, these guys are professionals.

Excellent
Mufasa Tours and Travels are probably the most organised and professional tours available. From the first email of communication to Ms. Pauline to the very end of our tour they where reliable, efficient, friendly and very informative. From pick up at the airport by Mr. John and Mr. James, to meeting our tour operator Mr. Sam at the camp, our 4 day stay was a sensational experience filled with many fun filled safari drives as well as lovely breakfasts and dinners. We felt at ease throughout our stay and comfortable to ask Mr. Sam everything we needed to know, we left with heavy hearts and have definately gained the most trustworthy tour and travel agents in Kenya. I can’t recommend Mufasa Tours enough for their excellency and superb service. We thank you for making our trip an unforgettable one with so many fond memories. We wish you the very best of success always. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Unforgettable experience
Our tour guide named Nelson was a well experienced driver and has a good luck in spotting animals!
We were able to see the Big five (except Rhinos) and many other wild animals in a day!
A lion approached to our van and lied under the shade of our van. It was so close that we could almost touch the lion!(of course we didn’t though!)
The camp we stayed was Loyk Mara Camp.
Full of hospitality and beautiful clean facility.
We can’t thank more for making our first Maasai Mara trip so memorable.
Our tour operator Joel was also great. He replied to my email promptly and the communication was smooth! Thanks!!

Best tour
Nelson was cheerful, kind and very experienced. We could see almost all the animals we could see in Masai Mara in one day. Nelson is a great guide.
