The Best African Safari Ever
As a solo traveler my 7 days safari was exceptional. Firstly, I was looking for a joining safari, but nay agency had a joining option of the tour that I was looking for.
I finally found David that was willing to work slightly higher with my budget to make my African Safari dream possible, he proposed few cheap but good safari camps. henry was my guide, he was an experienced guide that seemed to have lots of history on the towns, nature and wildlife. Henry made me feel comfortable as a solo traveler. I visited Samburu because I wanted to see where they filmed born free. It was amazing to see all of the wildlife in this semi-arid area especially elephants bathing at the river.
My next destination was Lake Naivasa, and I also visited Elsamere which is the former house of the Adermson's later had a boat ride at the lake, here I stayed for 2 nights to be able to visit Hell's gate cycling amongst the wild animals, it was really an amazing experience.
my last destination in Masai Mara was the highlight of the tour, I only imagined such expansive landscapes. we got stuck since it had rained a lot the previous night, but Henry got along very well with the other guides, it took very short time for more than 5 jeeps to arrive and got pulled out, we continued for a whole day safari getting back to the camp in the evening.
On our way back to Nairobi we stopped at a local restaurant to sample the local food before I was driven to the airport for my flight back home.
Thank you, the whole team, at Native Afrika and especially Henry for a special and successful Safari.
Highly recommended.

Magic Safaris
I did 2 magnificent Safaris in 2 different parks with Max, Mikumi for the day and 3 days in Ruaha Park. Max is passionate about safaris and all the animals that can be encountered there, a lot of knowledge and explanations about them. He never tires of admiring them and knows very well where to find them. And the magic of the show at the end of the evening, contemplating the stars to the sound of very close nocturnal animals. A pure happiness.
I highly recommend Max, always listening to make us happy. In addition, he is a very good driver in parks and especially on roads overloaded with trucks and buses, especially during transfers, which is not negligible.
His vehicles are equipped with very good tires compared to other agencies, he takes good care of them.
Thank you Max for all these beautiful memories.

Excellent, beyond expectations!
Our Safari with Best Memory Safaris was great and beyond expectations!
We had to postpone our trip 1 year ago because of the pandemic situation in France and Isaac kept in touch with me during the whole time.
Our guide Bidan was really patient, nice, flexible and funny. Our lodge at Osero camp was amazing, it was like Heaven on Earth! The service was extraordinaire, the food was excellent, staff was so nice! Our stay there was so relaxing and the staff really spoiled us up until our last day.
The safari was really great, Bidan took small roads and we were able to see a lot of animals in only 3 days.
I recommend this safari trip with Best Memory Safaris, you will definitely not be disappointed!

Excellent service worth every cent
We were looking for a reasonably priced safari and we found Mufasa offer. From the very first contact with Caroline from Mufasa we knew the choice was just what we needed. Sharp, clear, to the point, very efficient, provided the offer that met our needs and requirements. We went on the safari tour with Joseph as our driver-guide, and I must say there could not be a better choice. Driving in Kenya is not easy and Joseph was an excellent driver, safe and careful. He offered vast knowledge of the country, parks, animals, plants. During game drives he showed us much more than we expected. He became not just a driver-guide but a dear friend of my wife and I. Thanks to him we were able to see and learn much more than we expected and we were sorry to say goodbye to him at the end of out tour. When you book your tour ask for Joseph and you will get the top service and experience.
The accommodations were all at Sentrim lodges and they also exceeded our expectations. Better quality then expected. Fine meals and lunch packages. Friendly service. All that we needed.
Also additional services as train tickets and transfers were very well organized and met our expectations.
We highly recommend using Mufasa as your service provider for a trip in Kenya. Thank you Caroline, Yoseph, Naomi and John. You made it the trip of our lifetime.

Very nice experience !
We took a private 3 days safari with lodge (boat, jeep, walk).
The general organization of the tour was pretty good. Our driver picked up us in DAR and dropped us in DAR too, he was really arranging !
First day, 4 hours max of driving to Selous and then lunch at the camp. After that we went to boat safari for 3~4 hours, really great experience with a lot of animals (birds, crocodile, hippopotamus) and with a beautiful sunset on the river !
Back to the camp for dinner, by the way food was very good during all the stay, and then we sleep in the lodge, it was clean and corresponding well to pictures on safari booking. Be careful the electricity is not available during all the day, but it's clearly not a problem.
Second day, approximately 7 hours of game drive in the Nyerere national park, which start at 7am. Amazing experience, we saw a lot of different animals (lion, elephant, giraffe, birds, pumba, hippo, impala...) with perfect explanations from our guide HENRY.
Third day, the one where we were the most disappointed for the walking safari. We thought that we were going to walk during 2~3 hours, but in fact we start at 6:30 am, and we almost didn't walk (15 min). Our "guide" talked to us about a nest and a cactus during 1 hour, and after that he showed us how to make a fire like Bear Grills. It's interesting, but not what we expected.
The lunch wasn't included for the last day, therefore we don't understand why the company didn't recommend us to take a plane at DAR in the evening. If you're making the walking tour, it ends at 8:30am, so it's ok to take a plane at the end of the day. So we preferred to stay for lunch and enjoy the swimming pool and camp. Thank again to our driver, who wait for us !
Special thanks to Henri, who was really kind and with excellent knowledge for our game drive !

Personable, accommodating and willing to go the extra mile
If you want a trip that leaves you wanting more, full of stories and adventure look no further. The communication was faultless, superb service and real value for money. The team were great from our guide Custard who was a great character and connected with each of us in his own way, Dandy the chef who managed to cook the most delicious meals on a camp fire, including bread and chocolate muffins. And Joe the camp assistant who just wanted to provide us the best service - and he succeeded! Our trip started with a night in Maun before we left for the wilderness and camped for 6 nights in the bush. 2 nights in South Moremi, 2 nights in North Moremi and 2 nights in Savuti, Chobe. From here we had 3 nights in lodges, (1 lodge that was disappointing which Kemy was quick to resolve) and travelled across the border into Zimbabwe to view the breath-taking Victoria Falls and do some of the activities it has to offer. After we travelled back into Botswana to the Nxai Pans for 2 nights camping in the bush and our last night camping on an Island in the Delta. Holiday highlights - the wildlife, remote camping in the bush (perfect), different landscapes and ecosystems and Custard and Joe. We thank Kemy for a well organised trip even down to moving a few things round when we got there so we could do a full day white water rafting. We thank you Mosu for a holiday that we will remember for ever.

Went the extra mile to look after us
We had the most wonderful camping safari in Naxi Pan. Saw all the animals we wanted to, but it was the care and attention of Julius and his team that shone through. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Knowledgeable, thoughtful and looked after our every need.
Loved our experience! The guides: Martin, Tony and Walter went out of their way to ensure that we had the absolute best experience. Whether it was looking for wildlife or botanical species, they were knowledgeable and generous with their time.
Always ensuring that the vehicles were clean and well stocked with water and lady finger bananas! Awesome trip, job well done

Amazing 5days in Keyna.
We visited Kenya for 5 days. Our tour guide was Castro and did a 5day midrange safari.
We spent 2 amazing days in Masai Mara, 1 day in Lake Nakuru and 1 day in Lake Navasha. We also visited Hells Gate National park by bike.
The hotels were amazing, provided food was very good. We had a lot of fun observing nature. We had the most fun in Masai Mara, but other parks were good as well. Castro is a very friendly tour guide, he speaks very good english, and is an excellent driver. And the end of each day he made sure we are good, and we know plan for the next day.
The only thing which could be improved is organization of the trip after Masai Mara. We felt like there were holes in the plan(a lot of free time) which could have been filled better, or fitted in 2 days.
