Breath taking experience!
5/5

Booked this tour without knowing a whole lot about safaris! We are so glad we went with Makini Tanzania Expedition and not another company! They were able to customize the accommodations and safari to fit our budget. We wanted to include a hot air balloon tour during our safari and Naomi made sure to fit it within our budget! Our tour guides Calvin and Dickson were fun and personable! They made us feel safe and always made sure we were having a good time!
Makini staff was extremely responsible at all hours of the day before and during the safari!
During the safari we told our guide the animals we hoped to see and he made sure it happened!
We highly suggest Makini to everyone!

Perfect
5/5

I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience—absolutely amazing, easily a 11/10! From the moment we arrived, everything was expertly organized. Naomi, the organizer, ensured every detail was perfect, making the whole trip smooth and stress-free.

Our guides, Dickson and Kalvin, were fantastic. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate about the wildlife and the environment. They took us on an adventure where we saw everything we hoped for—and more! We spotted a leopard, a lion, a cheetah, and even 10 rhinos! The wildlife viewing was just extraordinary, and it felt like we were in the heart of nature.

The whole trip was incredibly well-planned, and the guides made sure we got the most out of every moment. I can’t recommend Go Makini Tanzania Expedition enough. If you’re looking for an adventure filled with breathtaking wildlife sightings, great guides, and seamless logistics, this is the trip for you. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

It was amazing!!
5/5

We had a amazing experience with Makini!! We did the 4 day safari, and we saw the big 5! The tourguides where really nice and they did everything they could to give us the best experience possible. The food was good, and the communication with the guides/office of Makini was really great. The tourguides answered our questions the best they could and they had a lot of knowledge about the animals.

Amazing experience
5/5

We really loved the safari, we were paired up with other people from another company, which made it a lot of fun. Would recommend to put lake manyara before Serengeti as it is a good build up of your week. We had warm lunch all week, while we saw others with lunchboxes, so that was a great addition to the tour

3 day safari in Serengeti&Ngorongoro
5/5

My 3-day safari in Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was an absolutely unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to everyone! The entire organization was top-notch – from being picked up at my hotel in Zanzibar, the flight to Serengeti, and the return from Arusha – everything was perfectly arranged, allowing me to focus entirely on enjoying the beauty of the wildlife.

The guide was a true professional – he possessed incredible knowledge about the animals, the local ecosystem, and the culture of the region, making the experience even more interesting . He was also very helpful, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring our safety throughout the trip. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see an incredible number of animals, including majestic lions, rhinos, and a herd of elephants that passed right by our jeep. It was an experience I will never forget.

The accommodations were also excellent – comfortable, clean, and offering stunning views of the surrounding nature. The food was delicious and varied, which added even more enjoyment to the trip.

If you’re looking for the perfect safari that combines excellent organization, breathtaking sights, and unforgettable emotions, I recommend Makini! It’s worth every moment!

Amazing Unbelievable Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
5/5

I visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with Godfrey and it was amazing!!!! He is very knowledgeable and he told us many interesting facts about different species. He was able to spotted animals which were far away. We were very lucky and we saw 5 cheatahs, 5leopards,5 rhino's, more than 60 lions,hienas, pumba, hundreds of elephants, giraffes, buffalo, thousands of zebras and wild beasts. Godfrey was very kind and always made sure that we had all we needed. This trip was amazing!!!!!!!! Our chef Richard was preparing for us very good meals (breakfests, dinners and lunches which we were taking with us). I was even upgraded the last 2 nights and I got a hotel instead of camping.All was well coordinated.

5/5

Makini is the top choice for Safari Tours in Tanzania! We spent three days in Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks, everything was perfect, friendly staff, great cuisine, super skilled driver. We spotted the big five easily since our driver was also our guide. The price for a three days safari was reasonable as we stayed in public campsite which I strongly suggest! Nancy arranged everything at the best, satisfying our requests!Thanks for all! Jamboooo

Exceptional 4-Day Safari Experience with Makini Safari

My recent 4-day safari in Tanzania with Makini Safari was an unforgettable experience. The organization and planning were impeccable, ensuring a seamless adventure from start to finish.

**Accommodation and Dining:** The food throughout the safari was outstanding, with Chef Richard showcasing his culinary prowess. Each meal was a delightful blend of local flavors and gourmet excellence, making every dining experience a highlight of the trip.

**Guiding and Tour:** Our guide, David, was exceptional. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, coupled with his personable and engaging manner, enriched our safari experience immensely. David’s expertise and passion for the region’s flora and fauna made every game drive informative and thrilling.

**Customer Service:** Nancy, our primary contact at Makini Safari, was instrumental in making this trip memorable. Her excellent communication skills and attentiveness ensured that all our needs were met promptly. Nancy’s dedication and professionalism provided us with peace of mind and made the entire planning process effortless.

In summary, I highly recommend Makini Safari for anyone looking to explore Tanzania’s incredible landscapes and wildlife. The combination of Chef Richard’s exceptional cuisine, David’s superb guiding, and Nancy’s excellent customer service created an unparalleled safari experience.

Profesional
5/5

Professional team from the beginning of the trip to the very end. From the start, they provided us with all the necessary information. Once on safari, thanks to their chef, we dined like we were at a restaurant for every meal, and thanks to the guide, every hour of the day was an adventure. We even had the chance to see the Big Five! I can really recommend.
