Zanzibar & Safari: An amazing world, very well arranged by Makasa!
We are very content with the way our trip was organised. The company responded quickly and thought with us how to shape the program. She listened to our wishes, the result was a dream-holiday.
Our guides on both Zanzibar and on Safari were knowledgeable, friendly and flexible.
Specifically we liked Tarangire Park, Maramboi Tented Camp and MCF Kilimanjaro Lodge.
Impressed by the local food, atmosphere and people on Zanzibar, and by the rangers protecting the Rhinos in the Serengeti.
We would recommend Makasa to anyone going to Tanzania.
Thanks a lot, Selma!

Amazing Trip - So Glad We Booked with Makasa!
Our recent two week holiday in Tanzania was fabulous. Makasa did an excellent job of arranging our trip, with limited advance notice. Makasa took care of all accommodations, domestic flight bookings, local transport and guide. They were attentive to detail, helpful, and organised. Two of the lodges they chose for us are closely linked to charities associated with helping local children in the area, which made us feel much better about staying there. The guide provided was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He went out of his way for us and we would not have had nearly such a good trip without him. He was especially kind to our children. All of the parks included in our trip (Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara) were wonderful. We would definitely recommend using Makasa if you're thinking of visiting Tanzania!

We had very different accomodations and the were very good. We were all day on safari, we had lunchboxes, so we could picknick and see more of the land. Our guide was very friendly and helpful.

The heart of the Serengeti
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit into the Serengeti with Makasa for several reasons:
1. We wanted to understand as much as we could about the ecosystems, more than just animals but all the flora and fauna
2. We wanted comfort and coziness but not obsequious luxury and we had great accommodation-just right for us.
3. We wanted to see and understand what we saw; the staff (Ngomi and David) did a superb job.
4. The office through whom everything was set up was clear and efficient in the process.
Overall, a great experience and we intend to go again soon with a son and grand daughter added to the experience.

I cannot speak highly enough about Makasa Tanzanian Safaris!
We contacted Makasa Tanzanian Safaris for information about where to go on Safari and also noted that we were on a budget. Selma responded straight away with detailed information on all the different National Parks and what we could see at each one. She also went above and beyond and came up with an idea of joining with another group to make it cheaper for us as she knew we were on a budget. She went to a lot of effort to join us with a group who we would get along with and joined us with two girls around our age and put together our whole Safari package which included the Serengetti, Ngorogoro Crater and Tarangire National Parks. Our accomodation was in tented camps and in a hotel for our last night. The tented camps were amazing, something out of a movie! We made made great friends with the girls we were with and had an adventure of a lifetime. Selma picked great accomodation for us and we could not be happier with the stunning parks we visited. Our Safari guide was always polite and full of information. Selma and Ngomi were just so helpful on our visit to Moshi and did not hesitate to help us with whatever we needed. We decided the service was so great fpr our safari that we booked our Kilimanjaro climb and also a trip to Zanzibar with Makasa. Selma and Ngomi arranged everything for us and again the service was flawless. Our Kilimanjaro climb was the best thing I have ever done and our guide, Genes and his team, absolutely made the climb as fantastic as it was. Zanzibar was beautiful and our accomodation was exactly what we were looking for. Climbing Kilimanjaro can be a dangerous task but we were blown away by the extent of care we received before and through out the climb.
I am so happy we found a company as honest, caring and trustworthy as Makasa Tanzanian Safaris to help us plan each of our adventures. The service we received and the tour itself completely exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Makasa to anyone planning a safari, Kilimanjaro climb or trip to Zanzibar. Our experiences in Tanzania were all made incredible, without a doubt, to the efforts of Makasa Tanzanian Safari's.

We highly recommend Makasa, they gave us our dream Safari trip in Tanzania
We found Makasa online, and began working with them because they are a local company. They were very easy to work with, they responded quickly and gave us a recommendations for a range of tented camps and lodges, and what was reserved for us was exactly what we wanted. The tour guide/driver was exceptional; his knowledge of the animals and birds and their behavior was excellent, he was friendly and enthusiastic, and he could not have done more for us. He was able to find animals we would never have seen.
We spent time in Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, and each park had its unique features.
