Superb driver, amazing lodgings and safari!
From the minute I asked for a quote for a 2night, 3 day safari, Mustafa tours gave me all the information I needed and excellent options.
The safari didn’t disappoint and Caroline’s communication was excellent and quick. She assigned us a superb driver (Collin) and he made sure every part of our tour was incredible. He did everything to help us see the big 5 and we saw some other magical things.
We stayed at Zebra Plaines and the staff and food were fantastic too. Much more luxurious than I imagined.
Highly recommend!

Thanks a lot, for the incredible experience.
After extensive research I reached out to Mufasa. Their replies were kind, prompt and thorough - overall, very professional and highly informative (Thanks very much Caroline).
I was keen to get a reasonably priced yet high quality safari, and Mufasa delivered - everything was customised according to my wishes. My driver/guide, Mr. Nelson, an excellent human being with keen eyes for game, made my trip perfect. He went above and beyond to ensure I always felt safe and comfortable. In addition to wildlife (The Big Five and many more), I have seen the snowy crown of Mt Kilimanjaro; swamps that stretch across the countryside as far as the eye could see; huge expanses of grassy plains and thorn bushlands; lush oases, the spectacular ‘Shetani Lava’ flows; forests of gorgeous beauty; and of course, the mighty ‘Mara River’.
Accommodations were clean, comfortable and perfectly ready for me. And the food was great. Overall, I had an excellent time, and I would strongly recommend Mufasa to anyone who wants to experience Africa.
Asante Sana

A brilliant experience
It was a pleasure to travel with Mufasa Tours for our Amboseli Safari. There was an ease of quick and smooth communication at every point of the process from discussing tour options to booking and arranging specific plans with Polly. The tour itself was organised and we felt informed and consulted throughout the experience. Nelson our game driver was a pleasure to work with, a great conversationalist and knowledgeable whist always ensuring we felt safe at every stage of our journey. Our accommodation at Kibo Camp was clean, comfortable and well organised. Overall a fantastic Safari experience and we look forward to many more tours with Mufasa.

Safari Kenya December 2022
We were travelling with mufasa from the 5th to the 14th of December 2022.
We took a private tour with them in a van including a night in Nairobi for relaxing and a safari in tsavo west and east, amboseli, lake navasha and lake nakuru and the last stop was the masai mara.
How were the game drives by their Professional and skilled guide Odhis?
Odhis was a very good driver. We felt very safe with him on the roads and during the game drives he was always finding the best spot for taking pictures of the animals while being also very respectful with them, giving them space and leaving them alone after some time.
He was able to explain also some things about the life and habitat of the animals and he explain also some things about culture and politics in Kenya.
We were also always agreeing three day before the schedule of the next day. We would recommend Odhis to any of you!
How were the camps we provided during the trip?
We took the middle range category and all the camps were great. Service and food were amazing in all of them and the facilities were really beautiful, being able to enjoy wildlife from the window or from the swimming pool.
How did you love our services in general from start to end and communication-wise?
Since we contact Joshep for information about the safari, communication was very smooth. He was answering our questions and providing us with the requested information. He came im person to the hotel, the night before the tour started for breafing us about the tour and get paod. Everything what was written in the email was done during the tour. However we had to modify the planning of the last day and divide it into the las two days since it would have been impossible to complete everything in just one day taking into account the long distances between one park and another. This is maybe the only negative point about this part.
Did we meet your expectations?
Our expectations were met by far! Everything worked as agreed since the moment we arrived into Nairobi Airport. We were able to see all big fives several times, from many perspectives and in a lot of different situations so we loved it.
The only thing we would maybe modify is to plan some relaxing afternoons in the hotel instead of so many game drives since at the end it is a lot ot time in the car which make the trip a little bit exhausting.
All in all we really enjoyed the service, quality and honesty of Mufasa Tours. If we would make a Safari in Kenya again we would repeat with them for sure.
Thanks a lot to Odhis and Joseph!!
Hakuna matata!!

Wonderful Tailored Experience
It was a joy to travel with Mufasa Tours for our Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari. Everything was easily organised through Polly and we always felt well informed of the process. The tour itself was tailored to our specific interests and we felt consulted throughout the experience. Moses our game driver was a pleasure to tour with, he is highly knowledgeable, informed and always ensured we felt safe throughout our journey. Our accommodation at Sopa Lake Nakuru was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Overall a wonderful safari experience. We highly recommend tours with Mufasa.

It were without a doubt the best holidays of our lives.
We booked a 7 day safari for the whole family (2+2). It were without a doubt the best holidays of our lives. At first I was a bit afraid if it wouldn’t be too much for our daughters (11, 16) but the safari is so well organized that there is nothing to be afraid of and it is perfect for children, even younger.
All conditions were really great. The accommodation and safety certainly exceeded our expectations. As well as all the experiences that are hard even to describe. What we saw we did not even dreamed about. The animals and nature in all 4 places completely knocked us out: Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha, Masai Mara.
It is hard to say where it was the most beautiful, because each of these places is different and they all complement each other perfectly. But the best in all this was our guide Kevin. He was so fantastic, he had so much knowledge and we can only recommend him.
When it comes to accommodation, we stayed in Sopa. All 4 places we stayed in were fantastic, with delicious food and great service.
In fact, in the whole trip, there is not even a small thing that we could complain about. Even the mosquitoes didn't bite us

Very well organised and great communication
We had a fantastic time on our safari trip with Mufasa tours. The communication from Polly was excellent throughout - from our initial enquiry, during our trip and she made sure we made it safely to our next destination. Our driver and guide Peter was also great - really friendly and made sure we saw lots of wildlife. We went for the luxury option which we thought was good value for money. The accommodation was stunning, great service and the food was good. Overall we would highly recommend Mufasa tours.

Excellent tour guide Kefa provided a perfect experience for our 7 day safari.
We have just come to the end of our 7 day safari in Kenya. The communication from Joseph when planning our trip was helpful and timely. Our guide Kefa was just amazing. He was courteous at all times and all communication was accompanied by a happy smile. His knowledge of the animals was impressive and imparted in a way that was ideal for us. Kefa always ensured we had the best view of the wildlife, expertly manoeuvring around other vehicles and he ensured we saw everything there was to see in the many parks we visited. We even got to see a leopard on the ground which is apparently a rare siting. The van was kept spotless. The accommodation was perfect for our needs, we chose mid range one. We would happily recommend Mustafa to our friends and suggest they ask for Kefa as their guide.

Wonderful experience
We did a 3 night/2 day private safari with Mufasa Tours and Travels. It was a unique experience, we can only recommend it.
Peter, our driver, was great! We have always felt safe with him, he has been doing this job for more than 10 years, it was felt! Thanks to him for everything!
Polly, with whom we exchanged e-mails, was always very available and attentive to any questions. She sent us all the necessary information beforehand.
Our accommodation was the Zebra Plain, a beautiful wilderness lodge. The staff was very nice and welcoming.
We saw a lot of animals (except the rhinoceros which was shy).
It is an unforgettable experience!
THANK YOU for this game drive

MOST PERFECT SAFARI EVER
What an absolute pleasure to deal with Mufasa Tours. We could not have been happier. Starting from the beginning the booking process was easy and they were super responsive to all of my questions. When we arrived in Nairobi the owner personally greeted us at the hotel and introduced us to our drive Collin (which I thought was a good personal touch) The next 5 days were truly MAGICAL! I cannot say enough good things about our accommodations and the kindness of the staff at Entim and The Cliffs. Oh and the meals were amazing. I really was not expecting such fine dining.
Within 10 minutes of getting to Masai Mara we saw our first leopard and then the fun really began. We saw all of the Big Five on our first day and could not wait for our next game drive. I had no idea we would be so close to so many lions. They were literally right next to our jeep on several occasions. Our guide Collin knew all the Safari secrets and made sure we had time to just watch and enjoy the whole experience. We felt very safe and in good hands with him and I was literally in tears when we had to say goodbye. I had sent some photos to a good friend along the way and she was so impressed that she was actually booked and under deposit before we returned and is going in June. One last point, I checked several other companies and the pricing was by far the best. I can't wait to go back!
