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!!

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.

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

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 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.

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.
Professional/Knowledgeable and Passionate Tour Guide!!
Took my family for a 3 Day private Safari and it did not disappoint. Mufasa was very responsive during planning, proving clear direction on all options and itinerary. Colins, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable had perfect daily plans that were greatly executed. We were able to see the big 5 plus other animals. We will definitely book with Mufasa again in the future.

Very reliable and professional touroperator/guide
Our first-ever safari trip was such a great succes and so very memorable, both for us as for our 2 young kids (6y & 8y) thanks to the good care of Mufasa Tours and Travels, with special thanks to Kephar. We did a 4-day safari at Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha, which was well prepared in advance by Joel and all done as promised. Planning and rates were very clear and detailed. Kephar, our guide, was most friendly and always in a good mood. He's a very responsible and skilled driver who shared with us lots of funny and interesting facts about the animals we saw in the Maasai Mara. He showed us as much as possible of this amazing place with its magnificent animals, so that we could make the most beautiful pictures and memories.
The accomodations where we stayed (Enkorok Mara and Country club at Lake Naivasha) were both perfect. Clean, good food and very nice staff.
Without any doubt, i'll recommend my friends, family and everyone who wants to visit Kenya to book a safari with Mufasa and to ask for Kephar! We can't wait to get back some day as well. Asante sana!

Magnificent, Perfect 11-day Mufasa Safari Adventure in Kenya and Tanzanis
Mufasa Tours and Travels 11 day safari for two friends was beyond our wildest dreams and imagination – far above the five-star review scale.
We saw all the BIG 5 many times over (lion, lionesses, cubs, White and Black Rhino, Leopards, Elephants and Cape Buffalo). The viewings up close so you could hear the animals breathe and learn their sounds . Starting with our first contact, Joseph sets a detailed travel and game drive itinerary and your five-star accommodations up for a complete success . He matched us with the most remarkable guides – Collin in Kenya who is one of a kind and an absolute expert tracker who knows habitats for the many species and varieties of animals. Horace in Tanzania who was amazing and an incredible navigator of the vast and stunning Serengeti. We visited 5 game parks in two countries: Kenya: Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Amboseli (Mt Kilimanjaro), and Tanzania: Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We saw hundreds of species of animals and birds everyday was a mind-blowing adventure. We saw at least 75 Lions, hundreds of elephants and cape buffalo, over 30 white and black Rhinos and 3 elusive leopards. Our the incredible, amazing, knowledgeable Kenya guide Collin made sure we saw cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, mongoose, jackals and so many types of Antelopes (GNU, ELAN, IMPALA, GAZELLES an so much more) Collin knew the names of all the amazing birds and made sure we saw flocks of pink flamingos and white pelicans at Lake Nakuru. And as an extra bonus he is a great photographer and set us up with many great picture opportunities with perfect lighting. We crossed over to Tanzania into the expert hands of Horace who navigated us through a Wildebeest Migration for as far as the eye could see in every direction in the Eastern Serengeti, an hour tracking of a hungry leopard, and an amazing lightning display on the savannah. I must mention the welcoming, comfortable, luxurious Mufasa accommodations with delicious food and delightful staff. I highly recommend you only consider Mufasa for any of your safari interests in Africa. We both fell in love with Joseph, his brother John, Collin and Horace. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES OF A LIFETIME

Mufasa Tours. A great choice for guided safari in Kenya!
We have just returned from an amazing trip to Kenya. From the moment we booked our visit with Mufasa tours. Polly was on hand to answer all of our questions, and to plan our trip in great detail. Our guide Colin was highly experienced and had thoroughly planned time both in the Masai, Mara and at lake Nakuru ensuring that we had a trip filled with wonderful photo opportunities of all of the animals we had hoped to see. His guidance meant that we got close to the big cats, elephants, rhinoceros and many more wonderful animals!
Our holiday started at the Neptune Mara rianta luxury camp where we stayed in an amazing location on the banks of the Mara river. We were surrounded by wildlife and woke each morning to the sound of hippopotamus chatter! The staff at the Neptune were excellent, attending to our every need, and providing great food and service (we even had our laundry done each day thanks to our wonderful butler, Albert). Our second accommodation was The Cliff. Perched high above lake Nakuru, The Cliff offers spectacular views and luxury accommodation.
We would highly recommend Mufasa tours, we hope to visit with them again soon!
