We loved our Safari with Mufasa!
We had a more than wonderful time on our safari with Mufasa. When I initially started looking to plan a safari, I reached out to multiple different safari companies. A Mufasa rep responded quickly and sent options at different price points. Mufasa let me pull a couple things from the different price points to work with my budget to create a plan that worked for me.
For the first half of the safari we were visiting the Masai Mara and had a driver named Samuel, we called him Sam. Sam was so friendly and welcoming. He took us all over the Masai Mara and was able to show us 4 of the big 5. We were able to see 11 cheetahs, 5 lions, 1 leopard, 3 rhinos, and tons of giraffes, elephants, birds, etc. The drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara and back is very long, but Sam made it very enjoyable. By the end of the trip we were singing in the car together. Sam’s English was great, he also spoke Spanish perfectly too. He was very knowledgeable on all the animals and was able to answer all our questions.
The second half of the trip we visited Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with a guide named Charles. Charles was very friendly and knowledgeable of all the animals as well. We were able to see the rhinos which completed the big 5 for us. Charles took us all over and was very patient with us and our many questions. He was very knowledgeable about all the animals and changing terrains. Charles took us out on the last day to see the sunrise in Amboseli which was amazing with Mount Kilimanjaro.
All the lodges and parks were beautiful. We used a land rover for half the trip and a safari van the other half to save money. Both were great for viewing the animals. The different parks and reserves were all so beautiful. My husband and I were more than pleased with how easy and carefree the planning was using Mufasa. We have no complaints. Everything went as planned. My husband and I have traveled a good bit, but this trip was one of the best we have ever done.
Do not miss out on the hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara if you can afford it. It was like nothing I have ever experienced. The visit to the village of the Masai Tribe was also very interesting and moving- if you can this is an amazing experience as well.

Trip of a lifetime, well organized and a top class driver/guide
It is difficult to find the words to express how much we enjoyed our custom made 9 day tour through Gosheni to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. I referred to our driver/guide, Hassan, as our walking/driving encyclopedia. He was extremely well informed and made everything even more interesting. We learned so much in the process. He went above and beyond to satisfy our needs, from my husband’s interest in photography to dealing with family issues we had and having to find WiFi. He was an extremely responsible driver too traversing the unbelievably bad roads. He was very good at finding out just where to go by communicating with the other drivers, and as a result of that and his knowledge of what to look for, we saw the most incredible sightings, from lions and leopards in trees, mating of lions, birth of wildebeest in the middle of migrations, one of the most amazing experiences, and so many colorful birds both large and small. I cannot speak highly enough of him. Gladys and Jessica in the office added to the magic of this safari by making sure our anniversary and my birthday were celebrated, not just at one of the lodges, but all of them!!! It was truly a trip of a lifetime.

Excellent service and a fantastic experience in Uganda
Matoke tours and Madeliene our travel Consultant provided us with excellent service during the entire booking process. She was proactive and proposed a better alternative than the one we initially asked for. I really recomend to fly in to Kigali and drive thru the country to Uganda and Lake Mutanda.
The gorilla trekking in Uganda was a fantastic experience and a memory for Life. The hotel and the location at lake mutandan was really great, even better than I expected. The Gorilla tracking itself was very exciting. We was also very well taken care of by our driver from Matoke Tours the entire trip. We also had time to spend a few hours in Kigali Before our flight back which I really recomend,
I have worked more than 20 years in the travel industry with both Groups and events and individual travel and this was a first class experience. Thank you!

The 4-day journey into the wildlife of Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
We went on a 4-day safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Peter from Mufasa tours and travels.
Whatever questions we had about the animals, traditions or anything else - our guide and driver Peter was able to answer! Also Peter was very helpful to his colleagues that had troubles on the road (not all of them are as good drivers as Peter :) ) and was respectful to animals.
He has huge experience in safaris and it looks like he knows everybody and also knows all animal's favorite places.
Joseph, the contact from the Mufasa, answered all our questions before the safari and helped us a lot!
It was the journey that we will never forget!
Thank you guys!

Most Amazing Tour
There was never a decline in communication, your employees are top-notch when it comes to their services and most importantly, the trip turned out exactly as i had planned. The Safari tour was the most amazing experience I've been on, been to Kenya a couple of times but never got the time to pursue it. That said, everything about my experience was truly amazing.

Exceeded all expectations for a bucket list trip
From the start, the process to book was seamless and quick. Richard was very communicative and accommodating, and laid out a suggested itinerary as well as some options for us to personalize it to our own taste. Booking, payment, and planning were all extremely professional and by the time we put our down payment down, we had no concerns whatsoever about our itinerary or anything else.
The safari itself left us speechless. We came in with high expectations but some of our lodges completely blew us out of the water (especially the "Serena" lodges). On our 8-day safari we saw at least one of every animal, and in come cases we saw tens (lions, hyenas) or hundreds (elephants, buffalo, etc). Our driver was fantastic and took us wherever we wanted to go, got us in positions for incredible photos, and got us up close and personal with many elephants and big cats. We even got to see the elusive Black Rhino!
By the end of the trip, 4 of our friends back home were bugging us for our exact itinerary and Richard's information. We happily gave it to them and we highly recommend Richard for any type of safari you're looking for.

very good trip. I would recommend it for friends
It was a very good experience. We had a wonderful time at the park. Our guide was Fanuel, he was a very good guy. He gave us many information as we on our way to the park. Also, he helped us with anything we asked or we wanted. The car was good for two people. He showed us all the animals we supposed to see.
