AMAZING!!
My husband booked this trip for us for our honeymoon. He said Joyce was a pleasure to deal with over email, there were alot but nothing was an issue for her. We had two days in Masai Mara and one day at Lake Nakuru. Our driver Joseph picked us up from our airport hotel and drove us to Masai Mara first. He pointed out different places to us along the drive and answered all of our questions. We had a land cruiser and I'm glad we paid the extra for it, it's definitely worth it. The car was very clean, comfortable (the seats recline) and it had chilled water for us.
Masai Mara, what can I say, unbelievable, what a place! We were extremely lucky and seen the big 5, lions eating their kill, cheetahs hunting and catching a wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, hyenas, zebras and lots more. It was so exciting every day not knowing what we were going to see. Joseph was extremely knowledgable and was amazing at finding the animals. He treated them with respect not getting too close or staying too long with them.
We stayed at Entim Private Lodge and it was fabulous. We were treated like royalty by Musa and his staff. The tents were so lovely and bed was extremely comfortable. It has the real safari feel to it being open in the park but we felt safe with the Entim Warriors on watch. We woke up both nights to lions roaring, hippos groaning and hyenas laughing, it was amazing! When we came back after dinner on our first night, the had a bottle of prosecco in our room, with hot waters in our beds and chocolates on our pillows, what a lovely surprise! The provided a huge breakfast picnic for us with a great variety of food to feed about 10 ppl!
The drive to Lake Nukuru is bumpy so the land cruiser was ideal. It was nice to drive by all the small villages and see the children running out to wave hello to us :) In Lake Nukuru we saw white and black rhinos with babies, a newborn baby giraffe. We stayed at Savora Lodge here and it was very nice. It is a busy enclosed resort with good food, friendly stay and evening entertainment of African dancing and signing.
I have not stopped talking about this trip since we came home and have recommended CATS to all of our family and friends. Joesph was an absolute gent of a man, it is very clear he loves his job (how couldn't he). He had no issue getting up early for us as we wanted to see if we could see lions. We had lovely chats on the drives and I would 100% recommend him and CATS to anyone, we will definitely book with them again for our next safari trip!

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable
Chris the booking agent was fantastic despite me making many changes to the booking. Very fast responses to questions. The hotel the voyager resort was amazing with three swimming pools , right on the beach. The food was excellent with so much choice.

Wonderful safari in Kenya for wheelchair person
The communication with Fika Safaris was easy and fast, both by mail and by phone.
Robert was always available to solve our doubts and suggest solutions to our special needs.
The services provided were the expected. We were received in the airport by our safari guide. A fast meeting with Ester and Robert to review with us all the details of the safari, and as they commented, this was our safari and any problem, complain or requirement, they are available to solve it. We didn't need it, because all was as was planed.
We visited Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. The accommodations were perfect. Completely adapted for people with high disability. All of them wonderful, with a very friendly and profesional staff.
It depends on each case, but we would suggest always the 4x4 to enjoy it at 100%. It is only for people who don't need travel in their wheelchairs and can be transferred to the car seat, because the adaptation is just 2 ramps to mount the wheelchair in the car, but the door is too small to mount the person in the wheelchair.
Macharia, our safari guide managed all perfectly. He explained us all the details of each place that we visited, the animals and plants that we found, and solved the few troubles that we found, as for example, the lunch in Naivasah's hotel where we arrived with a big delay by a traffic issue crossing Nairobi.
By his long experience, he knows the best places to find the animals, and the places to take the most beautiful photos.
In summary, a fantastic vacations that met all our expectations. We recommend Fika Safaris to all the people who want visit Kenya. We hope repeat soon and visit also Tanzania with them.

Personalised informative service
Thoroughly recommend BST (Mr Shuttle), all responses were prompt and efficient, and airport pick up and drop offs all on time and in nice vehicles with informative entertaining tour guides, we thought we were only getting a transfer but learnt a lot on South Africa, the bush and animals before arrival at game reserves.

Unforgettable Experience
Mufasa Tours really did an excellent job arranging this tour, the communication with the tour operator ( Mr. Joseph ) was prompt and professional, he answered all my questions and always was friendly, reliable and on time, starting from arriving at Nairobi and back home, all the transportation was excellent, the safari itself was an amazing experience, since im a photographer, the driver in Masai Mara ( Mr. Tony ) knew where to go and knew the locations very well, and was friendly.
I highly recommend Mufasa Tours and surely will be there again .

Excellent service
Mwajubu was very responsive and helpful with the booking process. Our driver Abedi and our safari guide Gilbert were fantastic. Comfortable and beautiful stay at Bastian Camp. We got to see all the animals except for a cheetah (which are hard to spot) and lion (saw 4 lionesses). My parents wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience.
The only thing was the safari vehicle - while it is great to view animals on a clear and sunny day, as well as stay cool, we got wet due to the rain on our first day of the safari, so it would be great to prepare the vehicle according to weather conditions.
5 star nonetheless as it was part of the experience.

Second time in Chobe, amazing
We came to Chobe three years ago, in May. Saw very little, but still enjoyed ourselves. This time, hundreds of elephants, breeding herds of buffalo, hippo, croc, sable, lechwe, puku, tsebee and more. Some lions right by the side of the road! BUT, the first animal we saw on our drive was a leopard!!! On land in the morning, by small boat after lunch. Love Chobe.

Review about Okavango Delta by Pippa
Stunning, not many people and lots of animals that aren't accustomed to people.
