Great guide, lots of animals
We had a great time with Peter, our guide through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. He was very knowledgeable about the mammals, and eager to discuss birds and learn more about them. He made sure we were always comfortable, happy and having a great time. Jalala (owner) was good to deal with, and we would recommend this tour group.

Great experience
We spent a 7-day safari with Mufasa including Maasaï Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo West. The safari itself was great and we could see many species of animals, as well as a wide variety of landscapes as expected. The communication with Mufasa before arrival was okay and our contact Lewis gave all the needed information and answers.
Our guide Joe has shown very good driving skills and a valuable knowledge about wild life. We could benefit a lot from his experience during the whole journey.
We recommend Mufasa which is a Professional and reliable company to organize a safari in Kenya.
Unfortunately we had booked a 8-day safari and were forced by the ambassy to come back home one day earlier due to COVID-19 . As a consequence, we had to spend one night in Nairobi instead of Tsavo East. We really want to thank Joe who kindly provided assistance to book a room near the airport and to find maks and gloves before our departure. 4-star overall rating since we would have appreciated this night to be supported by Mufasa as we had booked for 8 days and that anyway the last day would be lost...
Despite this unfortunate timing, we were glad to do this safari and would like to point out here the quality of the service at a very competitive price.

A few misunderstandings but overall satisfactory. Great tour guide and magnificent nature.
My companions and I went on a 5-day 'Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara'.
Despite of the few misunderstandings surrounding our accommodation, having to shower cold on several occasions and the constantly messed up lunch boxes I still give this tour 4 stars because of our great tour guide- Brian, who was very knowledgeable and competent at his job and of course, the magnificent nature/wildlife of Tanzania.

A little adventure never killed somebody :))
Our safari trip took place in Selous NP and it was awesome. Our guide was super great and I think we saw every animal we could at this time of the year. The small lions were incredible. Although we had some problems on the way back (because of the rain and stucked trucks in the middle of the road - 5 hours of waiting on the sun for another car) we experienced one of the best moments in our lives.

Trip of a Lifetime
Would recommend using Traveljoy for a safari booking. Easy to deal with. We had one problem on our safari which was promptly sorted the following morning. No issues at all with our bookings though would have liked an option to upgrade our accomodation in some places. Our transfers were all smooth and went without any problems. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw some amazing sites and will certainly go back.

Incredible animals, skilled guides. Many extraordinary conversations about life in South Africa.
Kathi organized every detail. While we were still at home, she found ways to communicate to ensure she understood what we were looking for and very flexibly modified suggestions accordingly. Continued to communicate while we were on the trip, reassuring us that someone was always tracking our whereabouts. Able to troubleshoot a couple of times when adjustments were required leading to totally smooth service.
We had 3 different safari experiences. They were all different and all excellent. Each guide was very skilled. The subtle way they located animals and knew where to position our vehicles to get the best views were my favourite parts.
Kathi encouraged us to go to Tanzania for a true "African" experience. It was a real highlight of the trip.
We had asked for some hiking to be part of out trip. When she included a hiking guide, we had excellent experiences.

Update
I wrote a review of Born Free Safaris in May 2018 titled, "Use another company". I would like to revise that review and update to a 4 star review. I have taken many, many safaris - some with Born Free and some with other companies. Just because one trip with Born Free was not up to their usual excellent standards, I decided to update my review. In addition, I received an email from the {resident of Born Free offering to make it up to me, and I do appreciate that.
Previous trips with Born Free were excellent and I would rate them the best of most of my Africa trips.

Excellent organization, good guide everyday with us, the best experience I did.
Everything was good. Before the start, we communicated with Safari Avventura staff for any questions. When we arrived in Tanzania, the staff picked up from airport and explained everything. Then the guide lived with us for all the Safari and was excellent. I suggest absolutely this company!
