Professional and Passionate about giving great service.
I just got back form a 4 night /5 day safari with Mufasa, from start to finish it was excellent, well-executed, communication superb, great value and a wonderful guide.
I originally booked solo and 4 days before my safari 2 others joined me, Joesph worked out all the details, secured the extra rooms, and kept in touch with me promptly about everything.
Once w arrived in Kenya , the next day we were met by our super guide Kevin! Words can't describe his passion for the birds and wildlife, he's smart, educated and easy going. we had a wonderful time and lots of laughs with him. Highly recommend him!!!
We saw more than I ever dreamed of, even a crossing of the Wildebeest during the migration. Exceptional !!!
Lodges and food were great and would not hesitate to book again. We are actually looking at the Serengeti with Mufasa in late November.
I was also very impressed that Joesph cane to see me the night after the tour to make sure everything was great and that we were happy customers. He truly wants to give a great experience.!! Book with them, you will not be disappointed.

Yes! Mufasa Tours and Travels Provided a Trip of a Lifetime
You may have been searching https://www.SafariBookings.com for a Kenyan safari, and found many choices.
By using SafariBookings, you are presented with a wide array of locations, days, and budgets for safaris, much like using Kayak or Priceline for general travel.
After narrowing down the tour companies based on the reviews, number of days (10), and our budget (mid-level), my wife and I chose the 10 day Kenya safari from Mufasa Tours and Travels, and couldn’t be happier with the results
Although you may have concerns and questions booking a tour half-way around the world, Joseph at Mufasa was very professional and responsive to our many questions.
We also need to give high praise for our guide/driver, Kevin. His knowledge of ornithology (birds), wildlife, terrain, plants and culture of Kenya provided an unforgettable adventure and education about Kenya.
For some of the East Kenya safaris, you will find they visit the same locations, but may be in a different order.
Our safari took us to:
start in Nairobi
Amboseli
Aberdare
Samburu
Lake Nakuru
Lake Naivasha
Masai Mara
back to Nairobi
The trip took place the last weeks of August, and first week of September, with the weather mostly around 80F/27C in the day, and 60F/16C at night.
Of course Kevin helped track down the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo), along with giraffe, cheetah, hyena, jackal, serval, warthog, hippo, impala, wildebeest, hartebeest, waterbuck, oryx, dik-dik, gazelle, and probably 100+ different species of birds (sorry Kevin, too many to list)!
Can you tell the difference between a plains zebra and a Grevy’s zebra? Or a Masai and reticulated giraffe? Now we can!
The accommodations at the tents/lodges were excellent, and the staff at each location was attentive, friendly, and helpful. Our favorite was either one of the Zebra Plains, giving us a camping vibe, in a relaxing resort setting.
Also our complements to the chef at each location, for providing an international menu, and foods that also satisfied our American palate.
Ask for Kevin as your guide/driver. He is a patient teacher, conscience of the importance for the conservancy of nature in Kenya, and very kind to us and the people we came in contact with.
On second thought, don’t ask for Kevin, we want to be sure he’s available for our next safari!
You can’t go wrong choosing Mufasa Tours and Travels for your next adventure.

An unforgettable safari organized quickly, with a guide who sublimated our adventure
We end an unforgettable 9-day safari in the Kenyan lands as a couple. The Musafa Tours & amp; Works and responsive and adapts to your requests. We quickly converged on a safari that suited us.
We were picked up upon our arrival in Kenya by David, our guide, driver and now friend. He was very professional, drove perfectly and spoke bilingual French.
On the Safari side, we had half-day or full-day outings. We saw all types of animals that we wanted to come across. David adapts to the envy of his passengers.
We were traveling in a large 4x4, typical for safaris in Kenya. The car was very comfortable and allowed you to enjoy the scenery while sitting and standing, and had a small fridge for cool breaks.

Educational, Professional, Fun and Memorable!
Booking with Mufasa Tours was one of the best decisions we made in Kenya. First off, Joe, in the office was very quick to respond to any emails with questions that I had. Our guide, Kevin, was very well educated and made our safari so much fun. He had been a guide for years and knew exactly where to go for all of the big game (we were literally the first car to find lions and rhinos that day). The safari was very fair priced but the service and hospitality is what made the trip absolutely one of a kind. I would without a doubt recommend booking with Mufasa Tours to anyone! Thanks again for the memories!

A lifetime of memories is days.
We rode with Joe and he was incredible. Everything was easy, everything was smooth especially with regards to the lodging. The game drive itself was filled with adventure. Joe made sure that we saw the Big 5 by all means necessary.
Transparent, Professional and Kind.
So you are looking for a reliable Safari in Kenya and you have so mnay different options and now you are looking at all these reviews to make your best decision? I will help you!
Mufasa was amazing, we made the right decision by choosing them. From the moment I contacted Joseph at Mufasa he was super responsive and he answered all my endless questions. He put together an awesome plan for us. Everything was covered and we were taken care of for our whole trip duration.
They picked us up at the airport, they took us to the best hotel in Nairobi. Our driver for the first day was the kindest and nicest person. Thank you Dan!
Then Kevin picked us up the day after for our Safari journey and let me tell you that we were truly blessed to have Kevin from Mufasa as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and despite all the long drives we never felt bored or exhausted cause our safari guide would hit us with some mind blowing scientific facts about the animals and the nature in general. Just a passion, kind and loving dude. He knew every inch of the Savanna by heart!
All the accomodations including camps and hotels and food and everything else was perfect. We had a great time.
Mufasa will take care of you. Asantisana Mufasa.

Unforgettable Honeymoon
We just returned from a 5 day Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara Safari and it was incredible. Our driver Collin was amazing. He was knowledgeable, professional, and safe the entire time. On day one we set a goal of seeing the big 5 (Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard, and Water Buffalo) and by day 3 we had already seen them all (not to mention 100+ other animals like Cheetahs, Hippos, Hyenas, Giraffes, Pythons, Servals, Jackals, and tons more). His keen eye for spotting animals and his knowledge of the routes within each park helped us tremendously. His enthusiasm was contagious and we couldn’t help getting just as excited every morning for the the adventures that laid ahead. Another great asset of Collin’s was his knowledge of photography which helped position us for the best pictures possible. He truly became a friend by the end of our trip and we will really miss him. We could not have asked for a better guide and when we come back we will most certainly request Collin again.
We chose the Luxury hotel package that included the Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, The Cliff Nakuru, and Entim Camp in Masai Mara. The lodges were all great, especially the views from the The Cliff at Lake Nakuru. Each camp greeted us with a warm welcome and the services remained top tier from check in to check out. All rooms were very well maintained and contained better amenities than what we expected while on a safari. We were probably the most surprised by the amazing food. It definitely felt like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant which just added to the already great experience. The alcohol at Entim camp was also all inclusive which was a nice touch.
We added a couple of upgrades. One being the Land Cruiser option which we would also highly recommend. The ride was smooth, windows large, and it had great off road capability. The other was the cultural experience where you get to meet a Masai Village. This was very fun with dancing and touring the village. We loved getting to see how the locals live just outside of the Masai Mara park entrance.
Mufasa’s front office services have been great. We appreciated the quick replies especially since booking a trip like this from another country in a different time zone during a pandemic can be very stressful. Their transparency while booking lodges was also much appreciated. We felt like we were in good hands and will definitely recommend them if you’re booking a Kenyan Safari. If you’re traveling during Covid, they can also assist you in getting tested for your flight home.
Our only regret is not booking an even longer safari.

Extremely well planned safari! Breathe taking, exclusive and unforgettable!
How lucky we were to get Mufasa Tours and Travels as our tour operator. We worked with Joel and told him what we were looking for and he put together an amazing toddler-friendly itinerary for us. It was extremely organized and we had no problem with any arrangements. All the accommodation he chose for us, were excellent. Thank you Joel for making our trip so memorable and specially for our son!!
Tour Guide:
We were impressed with Martin’s knowledge of not only the country, animals, birds, safari but the best transport routes, practical solutions to travel plans. Martin was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful. He made sure we saw the big 5 of Masai Mara. It was a trip of a lifetime for us.
Communications:
Joel was extremely prompt with responses to questions and most anxious to provide options for all of our requests for tours. He communicated using telephone, email and What’s App, whatever was required to assure we had answers as promptly as possible. When we had to make last minute changes to tours, he was immediately on top of it, allowing us to see everything we originally scheduled.
Service:
Went above and beyond to help adapt the itinerary to suit our needs and timings. Made excellent suggestions and ensured that all of us were happy.
Tour:
Everything was more than we expected. From a luxurious & relaxing (much-needed) start of the trip, to smooth transfers and safari experience, a unique wildlife experience that should be on everyone's bucket list and then a calm and gentle wrap up with great Diani beach and resort choices.
Thank you to Mufasa Tours and Travels for a trip of a lifetime. It will never be forgotten.
Very happy to have dealt with Mufasa Tours and Travels- above excellent, 10 stars!!!!
