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!!!!

Excellent safari - we will come back!
Me and my boyfriend went for a 5 day safari with Mufasa Tours and Traves in June this year (2021). We were really impressed by the dedication and service of safari - our only regret is that we did not stay for longer! :) Joseph has been amazing to communicate with, he always responds promptly and with all information requested. He has an an amazing attention to detail - everything we planned for worked out perfectly. Our safari guide Jeremiah was a pleasure to spend 5 days with - he is fun, knowledgeable, speaks great English and is well aware of all the safety measures required for a safari. Me and my boyfriend both felt like we had gotten a new friend :)
All in all - Mufasa Tours and Travel is a fantastic choice and you will not be disappointed. I have recommended them to my family and friends and next time I come for a safari I will use them again.

Professional and smooth
I went with this operator to Samburu and stayed at the Sarova Shaba lodge.
Thanks to them it has been a wonderful experience for my first safari ever.
Ibtruly appreciated the sympathy of our guide James and the possibility to run the booking through whatssap.
They allowed my to pay a bit less but considering the service and the experience I should have payed more.

Excellent safari trip with Joe as a driver
The safari experience was something extraordinary,especially the 2 days in Masai Mara . I still miss the offroad drives to catch closelly the animals and the adrenaline behind it . We loved interacting with our driver/guide Joe who knew very well all the small details about the wild life in the savana and animals living there. Thank you Mufasa for such a great experience.

The experience of a lifetime!
We can't even begin to explain how incredible this safari experience was! From the very start, communicating with Joe from Canada to organize our safari was a breeze. He was very helpful in organizing our safari exactly as we wanted it and was able to make adjustments to t he itinerary as we requested.
Everything from the booking process, communication, accommodations, and safari itself were amazing. Collin was an amazing guide and was very knowledgeable. It felt as though our tour had started from the moment we were picked up from our hotel! Collin happily told us interesting facts about Kenya's history, pointing our important landmarks along our drive. He was honest, friendly and professional throughout.
Our actually safari was an experience we will never forget. We were able to spot all of the big 5 all while feeling safe and respecting the natural habitat of the animals in the wild.
Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime. If there is one thing we would change, it would be to make our safari even longer the next time we visit!
