Great customer service!
5/5

We had 4 days Safari mid range lodge plus a day hike to Kilimangiaro.
Great service and accomodation on the Safari. Tented camps & lodge were beautiful and we found always great welcome and service.
Just the last night hotel in Arusha wasn't at same level, but that wasn't during the Safari.
Naomi was always caring, asking us everyday by msg how everything was.
They also agreed to postpone our last day tour,due to a food poison that we got the night before.
I rarely found this level òf attention by travel agency.
Thank you Naomi and the all staff, drivers and guides.
You made our time in Tanzania very special!
All the best

A perfect choice for a fantastic adventure and magical experience.
5/5

An amazing journey and experience from start to finish. We did a three-day safari and a fourth day with a hike to the first base of Kilimanjaro. We reached out to Makini and a few other operators as early as August and quickly decided on Makini. Naomi, who was our contact person, was very professional and answered all our odd questions within hours. She was extremely helpful with arranging accommodations, airport pickups, and more.

We highly recommend Makini, who also ensured we spotted the Big Five. Our driver was fantastic at locating all the animals, and the chef was magical at creating amazing meals out of nothing. We can’t recommend Makini enough

Great experience!
5/5

I did a 5 day group tour with lodge and tented lodge. Everything was organized very well, communication was quick and easy. I was in contact always with one person to arrange everything. Our guide Kelvin did a great job and I saw all big five and amazing places at the national park. I highly recommend doing the tour with makini!

Fantastic experience
5/5

This is a safari that you should experience at least once in your life. The food was excellent and the beds were also excellent. I highly recommend Makini.

If you are Korean and looking for a safari company, the prices here are not bad and the food is good. They don't serve lunch as a packed lunch, but as a nice Korean meal. Honestly, 3 nights and 4 days seems too long and 2 nights and 3 days seems enough.

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
