Perfect safari experience
This year it was time for my first safari. After quit a lot of research we chose Makasa for our safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire) - the communication with Selma was super easy and uncomplicated from the very beginning. It was especially nice to meet the whole family during our trip.
Our guide, Frank was absolutely great: he knows everything there is to know about nature and wildlife and made sure that every day was a highlight! He is also a great and safe driver and we just really enjoyed our time with him.
Our lodges and camps as well as the food were excellent throughout the whole safari. Nothing to complain about here
To sum up; I can highly recommend taking safaris with Makasa. They are super professional and great people!

Awesome experience
A friend of mine recommended Makasa Tanzanian Safaris to me and I am glad she did. We feel very lucky that we booked our safari with Selma and Ngomi who are very kind, friendly and knowledgeable people. Selma has always been very helpful and quick in replying to our inquires and I am very grateful for her patience.
After a warm welcome from Selma and Ngomi, a well-organized itinerary in our hand and a lot of excitement we were looking forward to some adventures in Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti Nationalpark and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our stay at each accommodation was great although I personally think that the Kenzan Tented Camp was the best. The views from the camp were just breath-taking and you are able to see animals just walking by from a short distance. Also the staff was very friendly and made you feel home.
During the safari our driver and guide Kaleby has always been very charming and made sure that we enjoy our trip to the fullest. In this regard, I would like to thank Kaleby for his professionalism and for showing and teaching us the wildlife and for giving us such a great opportunity to discover and see the beauty of Tanzania.
We just can't say enough about how first-rate everything was done by Selma and Kaleby. We know that we had the best possible safari. This was truly the trip of a lifetime and due in large part to the professionalism of Makasa Tanzanian Safari. Thank you guys for the unforgettable experience and the care and attention provided!

Amazing trip!
Our safari on the mainland and island adventure on Zanzibar were excellent. We had nothing to worry about. Everything was taken care of from A to Z so we could relax and simply enjoy our time in Tanzania. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable, and the accommodations recommended were outstanding, especially the tented camps... I highly recommend the experience! I can't say enough about Makasa and the care Selma took in making our 25th anniversary trip truly magical!

The Makasa Safari in Tanzania : an expirience I will never forget
I can say nothing else but everything was excellent : the organisation, the safari trips, the camps, the meals , the pick nicks , the jeep ....
I would like to say special thanks to our guide, David, for his excellent driving, his shared knowledge about the animals and the landscape, his endless patient while we were taking photographs and videos, his suggestions......
It was a journey that I and my friends with me will never forget !

A perfect fit safari and golftrip
I found it a fantastic travel experience, in which I have seen many beautiful animals in the untouched nature. Great to have combined that with a few nice rounds of golf. The great thing about booking a trip through MAKASA is that you can put together your program yourself. They are a small, independent tour operator, with roots in the Netherlands; they organize trips for duo's, families and small travel groups, with consultation of the travel time and the available budget.

We expirienced nature as nature should be: from sunset to moonlight we saw en heard animals.
Makasa made a program that fits us perfectly with a very good guide who spoke very well english. We learnt to appriciate nature, but had also enough time to relax in perfect places alomg the jungle and in Zanzibar. It was a lifetime expericience.

A wonderful experience in de beautiful wildlife of Tanzania
We are very satisfied and happy about our experiences with Makasa. The contacts we had in the Netherlands with Fien were very pleasant. All of our wishes were fullfilled. We stayed 16 days on the mainland and visited on our first day a coffey plantation of local farmers what was very interesting. De next day we went to the very beautiful Masaai Lodge in a beautiful envirenment and a very friendly staf. In the 2 weeks after this stay we visited Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ndutu, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Park. We saw a lot of wildlife, such as the migration of the wildebeast, the big five, cheeta's, caracals, elephants, hyena's, jackals and so on. We travelled with David, a guide with a great knowledge of the wildlife, nature and the origin of the landscapes. And with a great love and respect for nature en envirenmont. He did everything to let us have a good time.
Makasa aranged a nice variety of lodges for us. Very simple, tented camps (in Ndutu and Serengeti) and some luxery lodges. But every lodge was very good and had a very friendly and welcoming staf. After a week we stayed 2 nights in Rhotia Valley Tented Camp which is founded to support an orphanage. It was a very special experience to stay there. The last five nights we spend in the beautiful little lodge Hakune Mahije, seated on the beach of Zanzibar. The place was like a paradise. Just like in other places we experienced real hospitality of Tanzania.
