Unforgettable
From start to finish our experience with King Mufasa was excellent! We had a few quotes from safari bookings but the personal touch from King Mufasa set them apart. We had no clue where to start when booking a safari and they answered all (and there was a lot) of my questions and helped me create the perfect safari trip for us. We mentioned that it was our honeymoon and they went above and beyond organising a personalised tyre cover and treats at the lodge.
Pick up from the hotel was smooth and efficient all the way through to being dropped back off, everything was handled professionally and effortlessly.
The safari itself:
We chose a private safari and I’m glad we did as we had lots of space and could do things as our own speed.
We were picked up from the Serona airstrip straight into our drive. Our driver Lidnev was very knowledgeable on the park and the animals, explaining things as we drove. He gave us enough time to admire the animals and take photos whilst also making sure we had the opportunity to see more of what the park offered. We managed to see 4 out of the big 5 within the two day trip with additional bonus of seeing a cheetah on the planes. We saw so many animals we were overwhelmed. It truly was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The jeep itself was comfortable and spacious with a fridge filled with beer, soft drinks and refreshments. We were able to stand up and look out for animals out of the roof which made it even better for spotting them. We did one day Serengeti and one day ngorongoro crater and this was ideal for seeing the most amount of animals and also the different environments. Lidnev navigated them perfectly to ensure we saw everything we wanted to see.
The lodge: safari haven was perfect for what we needed, food was good (chicken curry lunch, buffet dinner/breakfast and chicken and rice for lunch on the drive the next day. Staff were very friendly and the lodge itself was stunning - right in the heart of the national park! We woke up to sounds of elephants near our lodge!
Overall I couldn’t recommend these guys enough! This was a once in a lifetime trip making memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you so much to Lidnev and the team at King Mufasa

Amazing guide, kind and super clear
We had an amazing 3-day safari experience in Tanzania (2 days in Serengeti and one in ngorongoro). Our guide was kind, always available, and very attentive to our needs. He explained everything in a super clear and engaging way, and he patiently answered all of our questions and curiosities. Thanks to him, we learned so much and truly enjoyed every moment of the trip. We felt safe, and inspired by his deep knowledge of wildlife and the environment. We highly recommend this tour operator and especially our wonderful guide Lidven!

Expert, kind and super fun!!
My girlfriend and I have decided to go with King Mufasa without too many expectations because we booked just a few days before and did not have much time for research and wow did they except our expectations!! Very very kind from the beginning with the customisation of the program, transportation from Zanzibar to Serengeti while taking care of our big luggages for the 3 days of safari. Lidven, pur guide for the safari, simply amazing: he explained us so much interesting stuff while making us feel safe and having fun. 100% recommend king Mufasa!!

Well organized Safari
Everything was well organized and we felt safe all the time (maybe except for the night time when lions roared next to our tent ;-)). The lodges were as luxurious as promised. Our driver Marco was very friendly. Food on the game drive could have been bit better (other guides brought total sets with pots with them). Overall, King Mufasa provided the best price performance ratio compared to other tour operators.

Excellent organization for a well-organized safari
Safari with precise and efficient service. Lidnev was an excellent guide, accompanying us throughout the tour, making it interesting with anecdotes about the animals and local customs.

Wonderful wildlife Adventure for adults and children
We had a 3 days safari organized by King Mufasa Expedition with the amazing guide Lidnev in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks with a 7 yo child. It was a wonderful adventure driving through wild nature with all the comforts where we had the chance to see manu species of Animals, included the big five. Our guide Lidnev was really the plus of this safari telling us history of the places, habits of the animals and being really careful of our needs, including those of our child and being always positive and warm!
We slept in very comfortable lodge and had meny hot and taste meals.
Absolutely recommended!

Reliability and great attention to detail!
We had an amazing 2-day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater operated by King Mufasa Expeditions. Everything went as planned, guides were informative and we were super happy with how easy it was to communicate with Davis! This gave us very good visibility to our trip and schedule all the time. Lunch picnics at the park were special highlights of the days and they were well organized. We’ll cherish this trip as a valuable memory for very long!

Caring and quick to respond
Davis responded to my messages immediately and made sure we were kept up to date with the journey. He was even there to meet us personally at the Arusha airport when we arrived from Zanzibar.
We were on a two-day safari (Tarangire + Ngorongoro Crater). Especially the guide/jeep driver in Tarangire was very competent and gave us a lot of details about the park and the animals. Both drivers also listened well to our wishes and ensured that our safari experience was of high quality.

Quite flexible and reliable.
We did a 4-day safari going through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and was quite a unique experience.
We flew from Zanzibar and Davis helped us with adjusting the safari to our desires.
We were guided most of the days with by Geovanni, that took care of us on every step of the way. Very experienced driver, with great knowledge of the area. Very communicative and respectful, very attentive to our needs. We got some rough patches, but he always maage to bring us safe and sound to out destinations.
We could make all the way, check all the big, medium and small animals and learn about many of them. Also, some of the local cultures and traditions, like with the Masai tribes.
Overall, really recommended and already thinking on when we should be back!
Great tour!
The tour itself is very packed, so prepare yourself to be driving a lot each day. Which we expected, so sharing for others to be aware.
Planning and organizing went well. We were explained well all the details of a tour, how things will go, what to bring.
A few things like taxi pickup being late and no way to reach the tour operator due to that or trying to make it on time to the airport on the last day. Both of these events added a bit of nervousness.
The tour itself is great, you have a chance to visit 3 national parks in 3 days! The guide was knowledgeable and experienced, shared a lot with us about the country, parks, animals and birds. Hotels we stayed in were also great, staff were very welcoming and friendly.
I would of course recommend the tour itself and King Mufasa Expeditions.
