Thanks a lot, for the incredible experience.
After extensive research I reached out to Mufasa. Their replies were kind, prompt and thorough - overall, very professional and highly informative (Thanks very much Caroline).
I was keen to get a reasonably priced yet high quality safari, and Mufasa delivered - everything was customised according to my wishes. My driver/guide, Mr. Nelson, an excellent human being with keen eyes for game, made my trip perfect. He went above and beyond to ensure I always felt safe and comfortable. In addition to wildlife (The Big Five and many more), I have seen the snowy crown of Mt Kilimanjaro; swamps that stretch across the countryside as far as the eye could see; huge expanses of grassy plains and thorn bushlands; lush oases, the spectacular ‘Shetani Lava’ flows; forests of gorgeous beauty; and of course, the mighty ‘Mara River’.
Accommodations were clean, comfortable and perfectly ready for me. And the food was great. Overall, I had an excellent time, and I would strongly recommend Mufasa to anyone who wants to experience Africa.

Well organised
We had a very good experience with Native Afrika Voyages arranging our Safari in December. David, our tour operator, was excellent with the communication, provided multiple itinerary to choose from, was very timely with his communication, answered all my questions prior to the tour and eased some of the concerns I had since it was my first safari. He really put my mind at ease and made sure we had the best experience. When we arrived, David and our assigned tour guide, George were present to meet us at the airport and everything went very smoothly. George was amazing, very knowledgeable and made every effort to make the tour fun and exciting. He had chats with my teenage child along the long drives and answered all our questions. George was always on time for our game drives and was always spot on with when it would rain, and working around this to make sure we get the most of it. The lodgings we chose were up to our expectations and it couldn’t have been arranged any better. The safari itself was an amazing experience, to anyone visiting the masai mara, do not miss out on the masai river, a must visit and visiting one of the masai villages. Lake Naivasha was magical And all in all a very successful and memorable experience.

Loved this safari!
I booked a one day safari in tsavo east with 5 other friends. They picked us up on time and drove us to the park. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to others! If you want to see the big five, I do recommend going multiple days! But we saw a lot of animals and had a good time.

All wishes came trough.
Excellent!!
Landed at Hoedspruit, and were met by an informative and pleasant driver, who took us to Kambaku River Sands. Met there by very pleasant hosts and staff. And our stay and bush drives were beyond our hopes and expectations. Elephants, antilopes and many other animals and birds were all around us at the Logde, and at the bush drives we had close encounters with all "the Big 5", and wild dogs, hyenas, giraffes, antilopes, sebra, hippo, crocs, turtles, eagles, owls, and other birds of pray and a lot of other animals and birds. A lifetime experience that will never be forgotten

Trip of a lifetime enhanced by a fantastic guide
We booked the yoga and gorillas tour as my friend had been to South Africa with the yoga teacher who teamed up with Chris to deliver this Ugandan adventure. It was a fantastic decision.
Chris was an outstanding host from day 1. He was always on time (or early), always smiling and his passion for his country and the wildlife really made the trip special.
He picked lovely hotels in great locations. The yoga by Marcel was also outstanding and helped us to relax after each long day's drive.
Chris had amazing wildlife spotting skills and listened to what we wanted to see and somehow made it happen. He didn't mind even when I asked him for the 10th time to stop for 'another' giraffe (I love giraffes and have never seen so many).
He also went out of his way to ensure we experienced other things - from Jackfruit to Rolex we had a chance to try different things he thought we would enjoy.
I will definitely book another trip with him when I have saved up enough money to go back!

We can't thank Right Choice Safaris enough for making this a trip of a lifetime!
Communications with George excellent! His answers were fast and reassuring for all my queries and requests
Keekarok Lodge an excellent choice of place to stay. Apart from the decor, the food , comfortable rooms, good service, super swimming pool there was a hippo pool with viewing platform only c 200 metres from the hotel ....... wow!
Ken our guide was outstanding. Reliable and knowledgeable with very good English , he went with our requests and took us on a fabulous tour every day! He made it a most memorable trip with his knowledge of the animals and the Maasi Mara . The vehicle was very comfortable and robust. One felt safe in it as well as having an excellent view all around. The complimentary water was much appreciated.

Great safari
We did a 3-days Safari in Maasai Mara with Jocky Tours. The communication was easy from the beginning. The tour was well organized and our guide James was great.

Incredible choice!
From start to finish, the African Polecat Safaris team was highly responsive, attention, and supportive for an exciting and well-rounded experience. Once I filled out an interest form online, James messaged me on WhatsApp, ready to answer my questions. I still wasn't sure of my schedule and preferences, but he accommodated my needs and customized my safari based on the number of days I wanted, time of arrival, and need for hotel stay. As opposed to other companies who only followed up to see if we would book with them, African Polecat Safaris was patient and responsive to our needs. Our guide for Tarangire National Park, Aron, was absolutely incredible--highly experienced and was able to spot lions and leopards in the most difficult to see spaces! Our guide for Ngorongoro Crater, Joseph took his time to show us as many different animals as possible, even through the cloudy rain. Both days, the experience surpassed my expectations, and Aron and Joseph shared a lot of context and history about both the animal population and the Maasai people living in the area. Each day we had homecooked meals brought into the parks, and the lodge we stayed in overnight was comfortable with a full home-cooked buffet. When I expressed interest in doing something in Kilimanjaro the day after my safari, another team member John was able to add me to his one-day Mt. Kilimanjaro hike last minute. Traveling solo can be intimidating, but African Polecat Safaris made me feel I was always in good hands and have the most exciting and beautiful safari experience. I highly highly recommend them to anyone!

Very flexible and enjoyable experience
Lots of patience displayed both in person and via mail answering all our requests to tailor the trip to our exact needs. My family of four including a 9yr old and 2yr old were able to handle trip out to ishasha. The planning was great, and small things like taking us to the East African market at the end of the safari, and quick stops by crater lakes and tea plantations really made our experience special. Special thanks and regards to Francis our guide until we meet again. Love Zepha & fam.
