9 Amazing Days in Tanzania
What an amazing experience this was! Everything was perfect from start to finish. Makasa put together a perfect itinerary with a great blend of activities and lodging for our family of four. Our safari guide, Robert, was exceptional. He knew everything about the land and the animals and made sure we didn’t miss a single thing.

I must admit in the beginning I had some doubts about going on a safari tour. I imagined being among plenty of tourists and sitting in a bumping car for hours just to look for the big fives. My husband and me discussed our concerns with Selma, the operator of Makasa, Tanzanian Safaris. She was very understanding and tried to dispell our concerns. Our trip was planned individually so no reason to worry.
To make the long story short. The safari turned out to be an outstanding experience.
To start with our guide Humphrey. His driving beween rocks and potholes was unbelievable and he always found exciting spots to watch. We witnessed the love affair of a lions´couple and saw the spectacular river crossing of the wildebeest plunging into the crocodile infested river Mara. Humphrey had a great knowledge of the Serengeti and its wildlife and was always able to respond our questions. Aside from that he was a really good entertainer and we had a lot of fun with him.
Accomodation was perfect, we were quite impressed by the privacy and the qualitiy of the tents. We were spoilt by the friendly stuff who welcomed us with drinks and refreshing towels after long drives. Food was also delicious. The location at lake Natron with lots of flamingos was very special. Unforgettable the sundowner right on the lakeside. It was so unique that we almost have forgotten the long dusty drive to get there.
Overall this safari trip will remain in our memory.
Well organized by Makasa! Thank you Selma!

Unforgettable family trip - highly recommended
We had an amazing vacation and would highly recommend booking through Makasa! Everything was well-organized by Selma, and she offered great suggestions for our itinerary and accommodations. When we had to postpone our trip due to serious illness, they were incredibly flexible and rebooked everything, allowing us to enjoy our vacation later when we were in good health. We really appreciated that!
Jacob, our guide, was fantastic! He has an extensive knowledge of nature, animals, and culture, and explained everything clearly. He was patient, calm, and had a great sense of humor. He also made sure we traveled safely, navigating the bumpy roads with skill. And, thanks to him, we got to see the Big 5!
We also had a wonderful experience at Kimbilio, the camp owned by Makasa. The camp was small and located in a quieter part of the Serengeti, which made it feel intimate and peaceful. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was delicious, and we had a lot of fun playing card games and laughing together!
Overall, it was a memorable and exceptional trip, and we’re grateful to the entire Makasa team for making it all possible! Asante Makasa!
