Professional and 100% worth the money
5/5

Me and my wife took a private 5-day safari with Mufasa tours and it went fantastic!
Our experience started with requesting a quote through this website. We received a response the same day with several options and all our questions answered.
Even though Mufasa’s offer was more expensive than other quotes we received, we decided to accept it, and that was the right decision!
I was a little bit hesitant to deposit 10% in advance, but it also turned out to be ok.
We even had to reschedule the trip due to personal issues, and this was not a problem for the operator.
We received a list off all the requirements we needed to enter Kenya including an invitation to apply for eVisa. Our manager Joel followed up regularly to make sure we have our paper work ready.

The safari itself went brilliant! Our guide Joe showed great knowledge about the wildlife and local culture. He was always in contact with other drivers in a park. We always arrived on a spot when there were only a few cars and we got the best view point. We really enjoyed game drives with him.
Our favourite park is of course Massai Mara. The coolest thing was to see the whole big five in one day, before noon.
We were lucky to see a black rhino crossing the road right in front of us, lions having zebra for breakfast, a leopard fending off his pray from a pack of hyenas and taking it on a tree, and a pride of lions playing with its with cubs. The next day we saw four cheetahs hunting an antipope. This was a fantastic end for our safari!

During the five days we stayed in awesome hotels and game camps. Each place offered great service and clean rooms with canopy over the bed. Each place offered other facilities like bars, swimming pools, massage and spa services. One advise I can offer is to bring a power plug adapter, since Kenya has UK type power plugs.
Another concern we had before our trip was the food. However there was nothing to worry about! Each place we stayed in offered an open buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious food. Local and international cuisine.

After the safari we had a day free in Nairobi. We ordered a one day Nairobi tour at Mufasa. We went to the giraffe center and Nairobi museum. This was another amazing experience delivered by Mufasa!

Now we have a ton of photos to go through with our family and friends, and we cannot stop advertising Kenya and Mufasa to them!
We are sure we will be heading to Africa again very soon!

Best safari experience we could ask for :)
5/5

Me and my fiancé did a 6-day safari tour with Mufasa Tours and Travel in December 2021. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this operator. Joe put together an itinerary for us according to our wishes and it could not have been any better. The lodges and tented camps were incredible and the people are some of the friendliest you will ever meet. Thanks to our amazing driver/guide Kephar we saw so much wildlife! He was knowledgeable about the animals and birds and and explained every single question regarding animals, life in Kenya, tribes etc. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We definitely plan to visit Kenya again and will definitely ask for Mufasa tour again. Big thanks again!

Excelent experience 12 days safari in Kenia
5/5

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.

Best 7-day Safari with great price-benfit ratio
5/5

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!

Extremely knowledgable, experienced and kind!
5/5

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.

Amazing experience and service
5/5

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.

Trustful company with great people
5/5

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!

The agency and our driver Odis were amazing and easy to handle
5/5

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.

Exceptional Safari Experience
5/5

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!

Mufasa is Incredible!!!
5/5

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.
