Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Safari
This was a great economical safari. Customer service was excellent at both Sopa lodges and our driver Jeremy was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and gave us great insight into the local culture.

Mariam has been prompt and effective
The agency has been very prompt and proactive with the service write from booking the service till the end of the trip. It is very very very important to have a good know-it-all and safe game driver as Steven who helped in sighting of the big five in the very start of our day one in the Masai Mara Reserve. I can vouch for him 100 percent. Including Policarp who has been going around Nairobi City taking us to some lovely Curio.

Very organised, accommodating, and attentive to detail
The hotel choice was super good and everything I longed for. The safari land cruiser was well maintained and very comfortable. Rahim is a friendly driver who accommodates everyone's opinion. Check ins and park entry was super fast.

The guide was enthusiastic and knew how to make the experience enjoyable. The activities were grea!
I met an another group at the safari lodge and they mentioned that they booked the safari by parts meaning they didn’t purchase a package. It turns out the safari total package that I purchased vs buying individually (driver, hotel, and park fees) was cheaper. My guide picked me up from my hotel in Nairobi and brought me to the lodge, was my tour guide and brought us back to Nairobi. I went to Masai Mara Sopa Lodge and lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge. They both had their pros and cons. I recommend you try multiple camps to receive the best experience. Masai Mara had a lot of cats and the Masai people. A group member lost his passport right before the safari and I was able to call the tour operator on the way to the first lodge and she mentioned it is okay and told me not to worry. Basically the tour operator was reachable during the safari and the cell and data service throughout the safari is good.

Mamu Travels have planned all my trips since 2021 and I’ll stick beside them
The whole experience was smooth with the bookings and communication. I did my bookings in mid January and everything was well planned out. Highly recommend Mamu Travels

Perfect trip
The trip was very well organized from the beginning til the end.
We booked with Mamu Travels few months ago and travel beg of Dec.
Guides came to pick up us in Nairobi, on time (very punctual), we traveled in the agreed car to Masai Mara. We planned stops for coffee breaks and Rift Valley.
The Lodge was very welcoming and the hippo bar was amazing.
The game drive was excellent, guides very professional, we saw the big 4 from very close.
Then, we visited Masai Village and discovered their culture.
Amazing trip !
I recommend to anyone, Mamu travels are professional!

Very Convenient , excellent services and great customer care.
I will always use Mamu travels, this is my 3rd travel with them.
I have always dealt with Maria who really understands what she does. Just give her what your preferences are for your holiday and she will always give you the best destination to choose from.
My last holiday being in Mara sopa with my son, Maria gave me like 3 best hotels to choose from. I loved the hotel I chose and the whole experience of seeing different wild animals at Maasai Mara. Being my first experience, I really had fun.
Ben, the tour guide , ensured he took us through every detail and driving us through to Mara and ensuring we are picked and dropped in time. Wow!!!
About the budget, Mamu has budget for each and everyone. Hotels have different rate. And the best thing is, you can pay in bits after choosing your destination and date for as long as by the time you are travelling you are done. Personally, I have been doing 3 installments.
Very convenient and reliable. I don’t always need to struggle to plan. Maria plans for me everything

Responsive and flexible
I just want to thank Mamu for arranging my four day safari to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, everything went very smooth and they were very flexible with my requests. The initial lodge booked in the Masai Mara reserve was booked on my desired days, but Mariam worked with me to find a different lodge that was inside the reserve rather than right outside. This is important because if you stay IN the reserve you can start morning game drives at 0600 otherwise they dont let you in until 0630 and the morning game drives are the best because animals are still moving around from overnight, once it gets hot they become less active and more difficult to find. The price was very fair considering everything that is included (pickup and dropoff in Nairobi, driver/guide for four days, lodging, entrance to both parks, as well as 1 hour boat tour on Lake Naivasha) the only thing that had to be paid separate was alcohol at the lodges, water during lodge meals, and souvenirs.
I also would like to highlight my driver, Joseph. He picked me up promptly at 0800 in Nairobi at my hotel in a very well maintained and clean vehicle, but that was just the beginning. He was knowledgeable of all areas and a pleasure to spend four days with. Joseph was very energetic and truly sincere about his profession, as well as flexible with our schedule during our game drives! He was willing depart for a drive at the earliest time allowed and stay out as long as we were allowed if that is what i desired. His love for his profession was clear in his attitude and actions. I could go on and on, but you get the point, he is a true professional and i would highly recommend him for future safaris!
