We had a magical experience with East Africa during our safari!!
Our trip to Kenya in June was an absolute dream come true, and it was entirely made possible by the incredible team at Mufasa Tours and Travels. From the moment we began planning our itinerary to the final day of our journey, the execution was flawless. A very special and heartfelt mention must go to Joel. Joel is an absolute master of operations and logistics. His immense patience, responsiveness, and dedication to customizing our itinerary made us feel incredibly safe and valued throughout the entire planning process. He handles every detail with the utmost professionalism and a calm, reassuring energy that makes a huge difference when traveling internationally. I was with DSS group. Captain being Mr Debasish Chaudhuri. I Was the from the photographer team. This was my vast experience on wildlife in Africa. Need the land raw experience more with African big 5!! Furthermore, the safari guides provided by Mufasa were top-tier. They possess deep knowledge of the wildlife, excellent driving skills, and a warm, welcoming hospitality that brought the beautiful landscapes of Kenya to life. If you are looking for a reliable, high-quality, and deeply personalized travel experience in East Africa, I recommend Mufasa Tours and Travels. Make sure to ask for Joel—he will ensure your journey is perfect!

Amazing Experience!
I would highly recommend Mufasa Tours for your travel and excursion needs. I communicated with Joe Wakaba who was very responsive and clear over email. I had a problem with my online payment due to WiFi issues, but Joseph was very reassuring that everything would work out just fine. Our hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti was magical and was very, very well organised. Thank you again for such a memorable experience

Trip of a Lifetime
We recently completed a 12 day safari in Kenya & Tanzania & was absolutely amazing! Mufasa Tours were awesome to work with, from Catherine in the office who coordinated everything for us to our guides John, Charles & Ali. They were all fantastic. I tend to do all of our travel planning myself however, since this was our first time in Africa I wanted to make sure we were well taken care of. We were escorted the entire tour, right from the airport pickup to drop off. Everything went just as planned. I was very overwhelmed when i started planning for this trip as there were so many options. I started with Mufasa because my daughter had used them a couple of years ago. They were so easy to work with I didn't try any other companies. What I really liked about them is the fact that the entire trip is 100% customizable. We started out saying how long we wanted to stay and went from there. They also work with your budget which really comes down to your accommodations. My daughter was on a tight budget which usually ment a tent, while we went for more upscale version. All of the places we stayed were awesome. Some nights you had to pinch yourself because it was so surreal. We saw all of the "Big Five" and then some, including a wildebeest crossing with crocodiles laying in waiting. It felt like we were making our own national Geographic video. The other part we really enjoyed was just seeing the people of Africa. You spend a lot of time driving around in the Land Cruiser on all sorts of roads, including some cross country sections where there are no roads. We were a little worried about this but it really turned out being another highlight. It truly was a fantastic trip, we totally enjoyed it & we would highly recommend Mufasa Tours to everyone.

A Photo Safari to Die For
I was a guest on a wonderful 2-week Kenyan trip that was organized and planned by my friend, Melissa, with the help of Maryanne Mwangi at Mufasa Tours and Travels. Everything went smoothly from the start. She was in touch with us a we bought our plane tickets and got our eTA's ( like a visa). We landed in Nairobi, were met by a Mufasa driver who took us to Four Points by Sheraton, Hurlingham, a hotel with a rooftop pool and wonderful restaurant. Rested after our long trip from the states, another Mufasa driver took us to the Wilson airport and we flew to Samburu National Reserve, a remote, 165-square-kilometer wildlife haven in northern Kenya along the banks of the Ewaso Ng'iro River.where we stayed at the Samburu Simba Lodge. Great food, beautiful birds watching us eat, an infinity pool. We were met at the air strip by our safari guide and driver Tonny Wambugu. Every morning at dawn he drove us out into the bush looking for Samburu's iconic "Special Five" animals and we saw all of them: the Grevy zebra, the blue-legged ostrich, reticulated giraffes, the gerenuk, which is an antelope with an extremely long neck, and the common beisa oryx, all adapted to the arid and semi-arid climate of northern Kenya. We'd return to Simba Lodge for lunch and a rest, then at three or four head out again until the sun set. Tonny took good care of us, knows his African birds, has a bachelor's degree in his business, plus four more years of study as a guide and bird expert. All the other guides knew him and shared information so that Melissa and I could also see a cheetah mother with five young cubs, and on our last morning photo safari on our way to the red dirt airstrip, a pride of young lions hesitating to cross the river because of the resident crocodiles. "The icing on the cake," he said, and he was right! Tonni Wambugu was knowledgeable, personable, helpful, careful and happy to answer all our questions. We had four days of photo safaris, then flew back to Nairobi where we changed planes and flew to the all-inclusive The Baobab Hotel at Diani Beach, a powdery white sand beach on the Indian Ocean. Right off I picked my favorite spot near the pool under a giant baobab tree looking out over the turquoise waters. Friend Melissa arranged a couple of outings. One was a glass-bottom boat trip out to the coral reef where she snorkeled. Another was a day trip to a fishing village on Funzi Island, where we saw a first-grade class, a woman making rice flour with stone instruments, the same woman creating coconut oil before our eyes, a 500-year-old baobab tree next to the village well, then a trip up a river lined with mangroves and crocodiles, and men fishing from dug-out canoes made from halved mango tree trunks! We were given lunch in a sand-floored restaurant on an uninhabited island. This day trip was an eye-opener and a good way to meet people who did not work at the hotels and lodges. We then had a car and driver take us to Mombasa, a bit farther north up the coast, Africa's largest port. Melissa arranged a private half-day tour in downtown Mombasa where we tried to see Fort Jesus, but their credit card machine was not working and they did not accept cash so no one could enter. Our guide Mohamed showed us old town and recited its history, then we all piled into a solar-powered tuktuk ( a three-wheeled truck similar to "ape" (the bee) in Italy) and went to the spice market amid chaotic traffic. 95% of the people in Mombasa are Muslims and I enjoyed seeing the colorful African hijabs. We also saw colorful Hindu temples, and heard the Muslim call to prayer. Our hotel was out of town, the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort and Spa, where we drank mimosas under the palms with a full moon reflecting on the waves, a wedding party on one side of us and a karaoke show on the other. From there, our driver, Paul, took us to the Mombasa train station and prolonged security checks where we boarded the ultra-luxurious Madaraka Express for the 500-kilometer 6-hour ride through the bush to Nairobi. Every seat is a window seat. It's more of a pod than a seat. The seats rotate to face the window, have phone chargers, gooseneck reading lamps, USB ports, good internet, storage spaces, and the seats recline to prone position for sleeping. A stewardess took our order for breakfast, delivered the hot meal and poured coffee into our ceramic cups. The train runs over a stretch of the Nairobi National Park before reaching the Nairobi terminus. Nairobi is the only country capital with a national park within its city limits. A Mufasa driver collected us at the train station and brought us to the Argyle Grand Hotel nearby where our room overlooked the national park. The next day we were thrilled to have Tonny Wambugu again as our photo safari driver and guide through the park. We saw black and white rhinos, zebras, ostrich, a plethora of water birds, an eagle, the backs of hippos in a lake, and a pair of battle-scarred male lions, two old mufasas (lions in Swahili) ambling down a dirt road. Kenya had removed all the elephants from the park because they had been escaping and doing damage to human property, Tonny said. After a couple of nights at the Argyle, we boarded its free hourly shuttle to the airport just ten minutes away and flew home through Frankfurt. Everything flowed smoothly. The planning was perfect. Our drivers and guides were in touch with both us and with Maryanne at Mufasa Tours throughout the trip. Our drivers always kept in touch, and showed up on time. Thanks to Maryanne, we had all the tickets for in-country flights and train rides in hand. Maryanne was always available to answer questions via e mail or whats app. I told her it was like she was our guardian angel on this trip. Highly recommended.

wonderful safari
We had a very pleasant 6-day Kenya safari with Mufasa Tours and Travels. The itinerary ran smoothly and was well organized from start to finish, and we were lucky enough to see all the classic highlights—Mount Kilimanjaro, the Big Five, and a wonderful variety of other wildlife. Every accommodation was comfortable and well chosen, but Zebra Plains Mara Camp near the Maasai Mara was truly the standout: beautiful setting, great service, and a perfect safari atmosphere. We also want to thank Annastancia, who was quick to respond and put together a sensible itinerary, and our guide Muturi, whose experience shone through—he patiently repositioned the vehicle countless times to get us the best possible angles for viewing and photography, and remained thoroughly professional throughout. Overall, a solid, enjoyable trip that delivered everything we hoped for. Recommended.

The perfect Safari operator with experienced drivers
We booked a safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Mufasa. Everything went super smooth from the moment we contacted them until the booking was made, so we could focus on looking forward to our trip only. It was our first safari, so we were a bit nervous on what to expect. However, the moment we met our guide we knew everything was going to be perfect. Philip, our guide in Kenya, was extremely professional, polite and accomodating. He gave amazing explanations of all animals and was super respectful with them, keeping safe distances to not distress them, something we value a lot and we could see other drives were not doing. He was quick at pivoting into a solution when we faced an issue (such as a big traffic jam on our way to Masai Mara that would have taken us a few extra hours). We had an amazing bush lunch with him, a quite unique moment on our safari. We told him we wanted to see elefants, and he went above and beyond to take us to the area of the park where he knew the elephants were, even though we should have been heading back to our hotel, he didn’t mind extending the game drive to see the elephants. Overall, Philip was an outstanding guide and gave us a hard-to-match first encounter with the safari experience. The bar was very high with Philip, but Ali, our guide in Tanzania, managed to go even higher! We saw a Mara river crossing just few hours in our Serengeti trip, all because of his extensive knowledge. He even guided other cars to the spot because he knew the crossing was coming soon. Only experienced guides could know this information. We saw many more animals in Northen Serengeti with him. And the day after, we saw another crossing. Two crossings in two days! In central Serengeti, we spotted cheetas, leopards and other rare animals with him. It was 4.30pm, so we started to head to our hotel when Ali took a detour and told us he had heard something on the radio, so he would drive there to give us a surprise. When we got there, there was a rhino (in Serengeti park!). He wanted us to have this experience beacuse it was unique. Other drives would have turned back because it was quite late, but Ali took us there. We saw all the big 5 in one day, even he said he had only seen all of them in one day once in his life, giving us a really unique safari experience. He also respected the animals a lot, which is quite important for us. Both enployees spoke highly of Mufasa management and thir value, which for us is important, because we can see the drivers are treated well and are happy (they do the heaviest lift!). This makes us proud to choose Mufasa as our safari operator. We knew we needed to manage our expectations when it comes to wildlife spotting, and our guides kept reminding us, because nature is unpredictable, but we saw many unique things with both of our guides thanks to their dedication and passion for what they do. We will never forget this experience Our accomodation in both Kenya and Tanzania was also fantastic, we went with a slightly luxurious package because we wanted to be comfortable during our safari, and Mufasa was extremely accomodating to our budget and rrquirements. Overall, I would choose Mufasa again and would tecommend it to everyone I know.
