Amazing experience with a great guide
Everything from start to end was perfectly organized. Our guide (Joe) is a great guy, you can know how much he loves the animals and his job. We learned so much from him!

Mufasa is Incredible!!!
We had such an incredible time in Kenya with MUFASA travels. This was our first time in Kenya and Mufasa made sure we take back sweet memories. Our safari was a breeze, thanks to our guide joe. He is so passionate about animals so left no stone unturned when it came to the safaris. I would highly highly recommend mufasa travels.

Exceptional Safari Experience
We booked a 9 days private tour with Mufasa through Pauline and our tour guide, who became a friend, was Joshua.
Pauline was very quick and efficient with all of our inquiries; very flexible with all the last minute changes and made the booking experience effortless.
We had a great time with our tour guide Joshua, he ensured we were safe and happy every day. He has over 3 decades of experience and it made a huge difference in our trip. He asked us from the beginning of what we were most excited to see and learn about and then made sure we saw what we had told him we love.
He is a wealth of knowledge; he had an answer to all of our questions. He was entertaining and funny. We went to Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. He knew where to look for the animals; what was the best positioning of the vehicle, so we can take spectacular photos - i.e. with Mount Kenya in the back, with the colorful African sunrise or sunset as a background, etc.
We were mostly first to find pride of lions and hunting lionesses, playful rhinos, animals crossing in front of us, behind us and were surrounded by many giraffes on a few occasions. We were mostly alone to enjoy the animals and learn about them.
We felt like we were accompanied by the Mayor of Mara - everyone knew him from the other tour guides to the lodges’ employees to the rangers and all were happy to see him, which says a lot about him and his work ethic.
He told us at the very beginning that: ‘The animals are my bosses, they give me employment, so I respect them a lot!’ We really enjoyed spending all 9 days with him; we were never rushed, always felt like what we wanted to see and explore was his priority and by time we were to leave we felt sad our time was coming to an end.
Thank you Joshua and Mufasa for creating some wonderful memories and for sharing your knowledge with us! Asante Sana!

The agency and our driver Odis were amazing and easy to handle
We booked the private tour for 2 days in the Masai Mara area. The agency was pretty easy to handle and the communication was totally smooth. Our driver Odis was amazing - fun, kind and he told us a lot about the animals and the greater area. I really recommend going on a game drive with him.

Trustful company with great people
It was smooth forward from the first day I got in touch with Mufasa.
I had to change my travel few times and all has been handle quick and to my liking and my possibilities (thanks Pauline :)).
Then you could not hope for a better guide than Nelson, who put all his hart and knowledge to make your experience unforgettable.
It was amazing to be guided in parks by Nelson, learning from him about animals and listening to stories about Kenya.
Of course we see big 5 :)
But thanks to Nelson I see much more than that, and had a chance to see a common day of life of Kenyan people, with all the struggle and all the joy.
All this trip was an extra ordinary experience.
Thank you Mufasa.
If you go to Africa, go with Mufasa!

Amazing experience and service
My wife and I took the 7 days tour through Samburu-Lake Nakuru-Lake Naivasha-Maasai Mara, and our guide, Samuel, went above and beyond so that we could see every animal.
We had to reschedule our trip three times, due to Covid, and they never charged us extra fees. They even upgraded our hotel in Maasai Mara. Highly recommend booking your tour with Mufasa.

Extremely knowledgable, experienced and kind!
I went on a three-day safari through Tsavo East & West. Mahmud, my tour operator, was both very knowledgeable and experienced; I was alone on my trip and he made for great company. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to go on safari, it's a great experience and very good value for money.

Best 7-day Safari with great price-benfit ratio
We did a 7-day tour (Amboseli - Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru -Maasai Mara) with Joe, our amazing, super knowledgeable, helpful, welcoming and flexible guide! All of the lodges we stayed at (mid range offer) were very nice, directly within the national parks with game drives starting off from the gates of the lodges. Wildlife viewing couldn't have been better - we saw all big 5 and Joe always adapted to us and tried his best to provide us the best experience possible! I highly recommend the tour in the order above as it perfectly builds up to the most exciting animals in Maasai Mara, the cats! Big thanks again to Joe who was not only able to answer all of our questions regarding the parks, animals and the country (we had A LOT!), but also helped us with booking train tickets to Mombasa and more!
Overall, I highly recommend Joe and the tour from Mufasa!

Excelent experience 12 days safari in Kenia
We have just finished a 12 day safari with Mufasa Tours and Travels. A 10 out of 10 trip. A very good selection of parks including Aberdare, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Taita Hills and Tsavo East. The number of days was very well distributed and the selected hotels very good, without exception. Our guide Kephar Ogoye excellent. Friendly, attentive, discreet, in a good mood and with a very good eye for animal sightings. It deserves 11 points from 1 to 10.
We are left with a very complete vision of the enormous natural and human wealth of Kenya.
We are deeply grateful.

Poor experience
We didn’t have a good experience with this tourist operator.
First they offer a guide Spanish spoken and it wasn’t true, the guide just know some words in Spanish so our communication was so complicated.
We bought the safari 5 day, in the service description they include two days safari at the Masai Mara (including some hours at the 5th day) and our guide said, no the last day is just for go back to Nairobi, we had to show him the description of the service to had the complete service.
