Great and unique experience
Incredible and unforgettable experience. However, there were some moments in which our presence was too invasive. The workers cut large branches on several occasions so that we could see the gorillas that were hiding behind them, even though we told them it was not necessary.
When the tourist is put first instead of the wild animal, these types of excursions lose their essence of being something wild and natural. More and more people prefer and value tourism that respects wildlife. Despite all this, being able to observe them so closely and literally communicate with them was something I will never forget.

Overall we are happy enough to recommend Makario Safari
Mwaka from Makario Safari was in charge of our booking. She is responsive and helpful. The experience will have been a solid 5 rating hadn’t we felt pressured by time and the way the driver drove us back from the tour. It was traffic plus he sent us to collect our luggages from the airport (as they were delayed by 60 hours since we last saw our baggage), it was taking longer than expected and I can understand that he was bit agitated by the situation. To be fair, we also would like everything smooth and not wasting our time had it was a choice that we could make.

Makario Safaris does go a long way to make your safari a success
We went to Akagera National Park in Rwanda from Kigali. A one-day trip. Communication was very timely and clear. Starting at 5:00 am on a quite Sunday morning, the trip to Akagera was already an experience. Along the way we had breakfast and coffee. The Landrover was comfortable, and the driver very skilled and diligent. We drove all the way from South to North of the Park, having an excellent lunch in between. In the morning we had a boat trip and already saw a lot of animals and birds, but late afternoon arriving in the North of the Park we also saw the elephant herd and the magnificent plane with an abundance of animals. We can surely recommend the tour.
