Knowledgable & fun!
We did a three day safari tour in Masai Mara, and had such a fun time. Our tour guide kindly and thoroughly answered our incessant questions about everything. They were also an excellent driver, which is always a plus when you have to drive through bumpy, muddy terrains. Would recommend.

Amazing experience!
An amazing experience in Maasai Mara. I did a quick overnight between work meetings. We saw giraffes, zebras, lions and their cubs, warthogs, cheetahs, buffalos, hyenas, ostriches, gazelle, antelope and so many different birds (plus more - we saw so much). The most memorable part was when my guide, Collin, spotted a large herd of elephants in the distance. The elephants let us drive right into the middle of the herd and gently walked around us. We were close enough I could smell the grass as they are! Collin did a wonderful job of not only finding animals but also in communicating plans, setting me up for photos — whether that be a sunset or a lion eating prey, why he was taking certain routes, when he needed to speed up and slow down and why, and timekeeping to ensure we made it back in time for meals. He was easy to communicate with and wanted to ensure I had the experience I wanted.

Amazing day trip in Kenya
I spent just 12 hours in Kenya and Joel & Collin made my trip comfortable and memorable!
Joel was very responsive and willing to accommodate my many many queries and request to modify my tour.
Collin is a great guide as well as friendly and knowledgeable. Collin made sure we found the elusive rhinos that I wanted see on my safari.
I highly recommend Mufasa tours when you get to Kenya.

Amazing Accomodation.
Animal plays infront of the room. On the Safari Yard, wild animals welcome us. Even the background sky is perfectly blue.

Professional, experienced and dedicated to providing a first class experience.
From the outset Mufasa Tours provided quick and clear communication. Travelling as a solo female traveller this gave me confidence that they were a professional tour operator.
This impression continued throughout my four days with my experienced, knowledgable and fun guide Nelson. This was my first time on Safari and he made the trip unforgettable - ensuring I saw all the big 5 and more while adapting the itinerary to make the best use of time and conditions. The accommodation (Saranova Mara and Saranova Lion Hill) were excellent and I loved that they served such fresh local produce with a focus on sustainability in the camps.
All round a 5* experience. I will definitely be recommending to others and hope to return one day to see more of beautiful Kenya.

If you are reading this, don't hesitate, go on your safari with Mufasa team!!
Thanks to the comments I read on this page, I chose to do my safari to Kenya, with Mufasa. I looked at several agencies here, and consulted what I thought were the best 3 and decided on Mufasa, thanks to the fast and excellent response I got from Polly. And without a doubt it was the best decision I made. I had some previous problems, I had to move the date of my trip and then problems with my visa. And Polly from Mufasa, she helped me and solved all my problems. Even calling her outside of business hours, at very inconvenient hours. I have to highlight and say that thanks to that extra contribution from them, I was able to continue with my trip.
They organized everything for me, from my airport pick up, to my meals, hotel, safari. All the people I met (drivers, guides, etc.) super professional, friendly and with great knowledge. And a well-deserved highlight to the guide who accompanied me for the 3 days: Simon, you are a great professional and a great person. His knowledge of animals, how to look for them and on top of that, he speaks Spanish! I highly recommend Spanish speakers like me to go to Mufasa and ask for Simon!
I stayed on Polly's recommendation at Nepture Camp, incredible to be there next to the hippos and crocodiles. I modified some things while there and on Simon's recommendation, and the truth was they were very kind and flexible.
In summary, thanks to the entire Mufasa team, for making me live an incredible trip. For being so careful with me. They were so outstanding that I wanted to take the time to write this recommendation, which I never do! But you guys deserve it. If you are reading this, don't hesitate, go on your safari with Polly, Simon and the Mufasa team!!

Perfect honeymoon safari in Kenya!
There is so much I could say about our wonderful safari in Kenya for our honeymoon but will try to keep it brief. Our tour guide Nelson was the most lovely, funny, bubbly, knowledgeable man who looked after us from start to finish. He has so much experience and knows endless amount not just about the animals but the parks, lodges and Kenya itself. Our happiness was clearly paramount to him and we felt like he put us first every single day, determined to see as many different animals in different situations as possible. and boy did we see a ton of animals! We could not have imagined the wonderful close encounters we would get to have with these amazing creatures.
We opted for the luxury option as it was our honeymoon which means staying at the more premium lodges. We started off in the Amboseli lodge which had an authentic safari feel to it. We enjoyed close encounters with wild monkeys while staying here in the gardens. The next lodge we stayed at was The Cliff in Lake Nukuru, which literally took our breath away. It was the most luxurious lodge overlooking the lake and was stunning. The last lodge was Entim in Masai Mara which again was incredible. You overlook the famous Masai river where the great migration takes place each year. While I was reading in the garden a giraffe wandered over and I once again got to share a private, beautiful moment with one of these wild animals.
The food at Amboseli was buffet style and was nice enough. However the food at The Cliff and Entim is a changing menu each day and it was DIVINE. I am a very fussy eater and can't believe how much I liked the food.
We also added on the hot air balloon ride with a champagne breakfast. This was such a fun experience having never done one before. And a lovely way to see the animals from a different view while floating through the sky. The breakfast in the bush was lovely and they are very generous with the champagne!
Overall I could not recommend this tour (and especially tour guide Nelson) enough! You do not have to worry about a thing while you are with them, everything is taken care of and communicated clearly to you. It's really good value for money and highly reliable. Do not hesitate and book! It really was a once in a lifetime experience and one we will cherish forever!
THANK YOU NELSON!

Don’t think twice, go ahead and book them.
Right from the beginning, polly helped us with giving us the best options, very responsive and helpful with all the crazy questions I had, she was very patient with me. Accommodated all my requests. I totally went blind when I booked Mufasa, I read their reviews and went for it, and it was the best decision I made.
I got the best of tour guides, Colin and Kephar. They both are a gem. They are very experienced and made this whole trip memorable. They made sure we get to see the big 5’s, very kind and friendly. Full of humor. They made sure we are enjoying. We went with family, and my family won’t stop praising about the experience.
We met as strangers but left as friends.
Lovely people. Mufasa is undoubtedly the best choice I made.

Dedicated Guides
Found out about Mufasa Tours through a friend referral and the experience did not disappoint one bit! Nelson was a wonderfully dedicated and knowledgeable guide who would go above and beyond to ensure you have a comprehensive experience. He was professional, caring and accommodating with the schedule and brought me on an incredibly fun 7-day adventure exploring the vast beauty that the safaris had to offer. I would highly recommend Mufasa Tours as the guides are truly passionate about what they do and what they stand for.
