A week-long. Superb tour - Uganda
Beautifully crafted and taking us through the long history of the stalactites and stalactites, hot springs was a superb experience. I can not forget the walks through the natural forests, boat cruising, camp fire, sumptuous meals, extraordinary accommodation. The rides on the roads were marvelous. It was the best holiday I have ever experienced. Thanks to Marana Safaris for the meticulous care to my comfort.

Superb, efficient and amazing
I contacted maraka tours sometime last year to organize a safari to relax and unwind after a crazy COVID period. They were very fast in their responses, gave me a clear list on places that would interest me and a clear quotation. I loved their quick and articulate responses as compared to other travel agencies who were quite slow in their responses. I made deposits as required and came for my trip early this year. For lack of better words it was AMAZING. Every experience was worth every coin spent. I enjoyed my safari and I highly recommend Maraka for all your tour needs.

An average operator who needs more experiences to organize tours
In our safari there were too much sitting in the car and the car was not very comfortable. We even had to take some luggages inside the car and the space there was very limited.
For vegetarian the food was very similar almost the whole trip (beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, rice and eggs for protein source) and usually same way prepared.

Well organized and managed tour, we liked a lot.
We had 15 Day Best Birding and Classic Wildlife Safari in Uganda. It was very nice experience though not a very easy one. The gorilla ( especially this) and chimpanzee trekkings were quite challenging in physical sense. A porter was a must in gorilla trekking. We had a very professional and nice guide with us all the time and also the other guides in National Parks were very professional. They found us many birds and recognized them well.
We had nice mid-prize accommodation in the country yard in every place, not one in any town which was very good. The service and the stuff everywhere was very friendly and helpful. The food was good in most places. Only one member of our group was vegan and her food was not so good in every place.
Quite expensive but worth every euro. Thank you Maraka Safaris!

15 day best Birding & Classic windlife safari in Uganda was fine but very exhausting trip.
The trip was extremely packed of action. I would say, too packed. The lodges/hotels were very good, but they often situated too far from the birding or safari areas. For that reason, we had to wake up (2 weeks) almost every morning about six a´clock and often it was impossible to get to sleep before 23 or even midnight.
However everything was arranged properly and the fasilities were in every place exellent.
Before the trip I was quite confused about what things really included in the price of the safari, and the real surprise was, that we had to pay 390$ more when we arrived to Uganda. Explanation was: the prices had rised so much! That is not good bisnes policy. We should have known it before the trip.
In nature I got unbelieveble experiances.
