Wonderful, very well arranged safari trip!
We went for the 3 day safari to Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Our trip was nothing other than perfect from start to finish!
The evening before we were briefed and got clear instructions, and on the departure date our driver picked us up in Arusha for what would become a wonderful safari. We truly enjoyed every second of it! Not just the safari, but everything was very well organised.
Decent jeeps, the food during the trip was also delicious, and the stay at the campsite was also a magical experience.
After we returned to Arusha, the 2025 elections were still causing some troubles in the city (internet was out, evening curfew,..). But our driver made sure we got to our stay safely. They even checked on us the day after, and arranged us a transfer to the airport. Which was greatly appreciated, since we couldn't access internet to check on the details ourselves. We truly appreciated how much we were cared for as a follow-up of the safari itself!
We did 2 safari trips while in Tanzania, once with Go Makini Tanzania Expedition and another trip with another company. I'd highly recommend Go Makini Tanzania Expedition over the other one we had.

A wonderful safari with King David
We can wholeheartedly recommend Makini Tanzania Safaris. The safari was simply breathtaking. Our guide, King David, showed us his "kingdom" in all its facets, and the entire Big Five was on the itinerary. The trip was superbly planned, and the guide was simply outstanding. We had a wonderful time with an incredibly great group. Many thanks to Nancy and King David. Keep up the great work!

FANTASTICI!!!
Fantastic! A wonderful safari with Makini Tanzania Safari. I spoke with Naomi, a local who takes care of planning the safari just the way you want. She was helpful and very kind from the start.
Excellent people, they made everything easy for us and pampered us. If I had to recommend them, I definitely would! Well done guys, Simon was our ranger, we miss you and can't wait to come back. ❤️

A magical safari experience where we felt looked after and stress free from start to finish.
This was my first safari experience and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Makini put together a superb initerary for us, making tweaks and adjustments according to our preferences and budget. The accommodation in Arusha was perfect (Summit Lodge) with swimming pool for relaxing and a top floor bar and restaurant.
Day 2 was a trip to the Materuni village, driven expertly by Rama. We walked to the waterfall and ate a hot lunch prepared and served by the villagers who were all extremely welcoming.
Day 3 was the beginning of our safari at Lake Manyara where we saw elephants, giraffes and a honeymooning lion couple, all before a delicious hot lunch of chicken, rice, vegetables and salad, looking over the magnificent views of Lake Manyara. We stayed overnight at Ngere Lodges and enjoyed an hour beside the pool before supper, again cooked by our chef Pascal.
Our driver and guide was Gift and I cannot imagine a better guide. He is an exceptional driver over very challenging terrain and always stayed calm. Our comfort and safety was his primary concern. His English is impeccable as is his knowledge of the parks and wildlife. In addition, he seems to have an instinct for seeking out the animals. We spent 3 days in the Serengeti and another day in the Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw the Big 5 in abundance - 5 black rhino, 4 leopards, and dozens of lions, elephants and giraffes.
Our accommodation was in tents for 3 nights which was comfortable and allowed us to listen to the wildlife from our beds at night. Our chef, Pascal, kept us well fed with the best food we had in Tanzania. A great variety over the 5 days, a 3 course meal and always with tablecloth, napkins and proper crockery. Each meal comprised 4 or 5 main dishes of meat, vegetables, rice/pasta/fried potatoes, salad and homemade bread (at the campsite the bread rolls were baked in front of us on the fire).
We enjoyed a sunrise tour, and many happy hours in the jeep with Gift who was unfailingly generous in his knowledge and patience. The Serengeti is truly amazing.
After 5 days safari, we flew to Zanzibar for a few days on the stunning beaches. We took a boat tour which included swimming with dolphins and snorkeling over the coral.
Truly a holiday of a lifetime.
