Fantastic 5 Day / 4 Night Adventure!
We decided to go on a safari in Kenya in late November and inquired from the multitude of agencies online. Many wrote back, but Extra Miles was one of the only ones to give us a quote with an itinerary and pictures of the lodges that we would be staying at. We decided to pick the "Mid-Range" package. Ann was our point of contact and answered all our questions in a timely manner via email leading up to the safari in late December.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we stayed at a hotel the first night. James was our guide and he met us at 7 the following morning. Ann also greeted us to give us a briefing about our 5 day adventure. We received hats, blankets, and a couple of other gifts from the company before setting off to Masai Mara. The initial drive was long and bumpy towards the end, but the scenery was beautiful.
We ended up staying in Masai Mara for 2 nights, Lake Nakuru for 1 night, and Lake Naivasha for 1 night. All the lodges we stayed at were comfortable and the service was top notch. Each meal was provided buffet style with lots of different options to choose from. We enjoyed our stay at each of the lodges that we had stayed at.
James would greet us each day and take us on our game drives. He was very courteous and very helpful throughout the week. He was an expert driver at Masai Mara and we were able to see the "Big 5" and get loads of photos. At the end of the week, James dropped us off at our new hotel that we had booked.
All in all, it was a great experience and we definitely recommend Extra Miles for a safari!

Safari Kenya December 2022
We were travelling with mufasa from the 5th to the 14th of December 2022.
We took a private tour with them in a van including a night in Nairobi for relaxing and a safari in tsavo west and east, amboseli, lake navasha and lake nakuru and the last stop was the masai mara.
How were the game drives by their Professional and skilled guide Odhis?
Odhis was a very good driver. We felt very safe with him on the roads and during the game drives he was always finding the best spot for taking pictures of the animals while being also very respectful with them, giving them space and leaving them alone after some time.
He was able to explain also some things about the life and habitat of the animals and he explain also some things about culture and politics in Kenya.
We were also always agreeing three day before the schedule of the next day. We would recommend Odhis to any of you!
How were the camps we provided during the trip?
We took the middle range category and all the camps were great. Service and food were amazing in all of them and the facilities were really beautiful, being able to enjoy wildlife from the window or from the swimming pool.
How did you love our services in general from start to end and communication-wise?
Since we contact Joshep for information about the safari, communication was very smooth. He was answering our questions and providing us with the requested information. He came im person to the hotel, the night before the tour started for breafing us about the tour and get paod. Everything what was written in the email was done during the tour. However we had to modify the planning of the last day and divide it into the las two days since it would have been impossible to complete everything in just one day taking into account the long distances between one park and another. This is maybe the only negative point about this part.
Did we meet your expectations?
Our expectations were met by far! Everything worked as agreed since the moment we arrived into Nairobi Airport. We were able to see all big fives several times, from many perspectives and in a lot of different situations so we loved it.
The only thing we would maybe modify is to plan some relaxing afternoons in the hotel instead of so many game drives since at the end it is a lot ot time in the car which make the trip a little bit exhausting.
All in all we really enjoyed the service, quality and honesty of Mufasa Tours. If we would make a Safari in Kenya again we would repeat with them for sure.
Thanks a lot to Odhis and Joseph!!
Hakuna matata!!

Perfect experience! Fantastic team
I would highly recommend Erastus, driver John and the whole top cream team for your African safari! Our experience was absolutely flawless and they took every measure to make the safari special. The accomodation was great, the drives were awesome and we saw the best of all the wildlife! If you are considering a safari company, I would go with top cream. Regards, hursh from Australia.

The perfect tour for the perfect first time experience.
For my first time in Africa and on safari, I was overwhelmed by the number of tours available. I must say that I made the perfect decision. From planning to the end of the trip, everything was amazing and ideal for this once in a lifetime experience. I would specifically mention the excellent and personable safari guide, Leslie, for all he did to make it memorable and smooth.

Excellent! The organisation, accommodation, safari tours were great!
Everything was prompt and on time, from the moment we were collected in Nairobi the service was excellent. The accommodation and food was way beyond what we expected. Our guide Jack was great, the effort he put in to find all the animals was really appreciated. He knew how to get the best angles and lighting for the photos of the animals, plus we saw all the big 5 in the Masi Mara. I really enjoyed when he shared his knowledge around the plants and wildlife. Would definitely recommend!

It was a life time experience and no one should miss it. Charles was fantastic in organizing our one week trip trip and ensuring we get the best services at all times. The tour guide who was also our driver (Joseph) ensured we always experience the most oustanding moments during our trip. Though we had day only in Murchison Falls, we saw the big 5's, awesome sunset and rainbow at the falls. So many stories and a lot to learn about this amazing country and its wonderful people. Great travel around this beautiful country.
If you visit Uganda, then Charles and Exclusing Uganda Safaris is your best option. Highly highly recommended. Make suer you spend much more than one week…it is so much to see.
