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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Mufasa Safari made our dream come true
We looked for safari agencies in Kenya and chose Mufasa Safari because they had very good reviews. From the start Polly the person who took care of us before the Safari put us at ease. Everything was clear before the trip, and she was accommodating as we wanted to get out early on the first day. She entrusted us to our driver and guide Tony, a very kind person who answered all the questions during the excursion. We chose a two day safari. the first day we left Nairobi to the Masai Mara, we arrived at our hotel Sarova Mara Camp which was beautiful in the middle of nature. we arrived around 11:30 am, we had our lunch and then left at 3 pm. For four hours Tony showed us around the nature reserve and he gave 100% to satisfy us and he succeeded. we managed to see lions, hippos, leopard, cheetah, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest and warthogs. we returned at 7 p.m. to the hotel to eat and sleep. tony gave us an appointment for the next day at 6am so that we could have the best Safari experience, he was right to suggest it to us because the next morning we witnessed the most beautiful sunrise in our life and especially one of the most beautiful things to see: a lion with its prey, mission accomplished because we saw a lioness having caught a zebra. at 10:30 am we left for the Masai village and we were able to discover their way of life. It was wonderful thank you for this experience that we will never forget.

This tour operator is perfect to discover Kenya and his safaris.
Mufasa Tours was a very good experience. We are very satisfied with the service provided. The reservation was very simple. everything corresponded to our expectations. communication was excellent. We were picked up from our hotel in Nairobi to discover Amboseli and Tsavo parks. The guide Tony was a perfect guide! He was very interesting and always in a good mood during these three days. they are flexible too as we requested a slight change for the return trip and they were very responsive in accepting our request and booking a train to go to Mombasa instead of Nairobi. we really recommend this tour operator.

Excellent
We love our experience with Mufasa and Nelson.
He was the perfect guide!
Super Friendly and always worried about us seeing the big 5.
We would certainly recommend Mufasa’s and Nelson’s services to our friends and family. If we consider returning we will certainly choose Nelson again. He is not only a guide, he is also a friend
