Once in a lifetime experience!
Our trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and every park we visited. He kept us entertained, made us laugh, and was happy to stop anytime we wanted a closer look.
The accommodations were clean and comfortable, providing a perfect place to rest each night. Our chef, Matt, prepared delicious meals that felt like an authentic taste of Tanzania.
I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough—David and Matt went above and beyond to make it unforgettable.

Amazing, unforgettable budget safari experience!
This was a fantastic budget safari tour. We went for 3 nights, 4 days and visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Parks. From the outset, our tour operator Nancy was extremely helpful and responsive. We had several queries and she would respond promptly and informatively. When we arrived we were greeted by our wonderful tour guide David. He was an outstanding guide, with in depth knowledge of the animals, the parks and could easily answer any questions we had. He would scope out the best spots to take pictures of the animals and was so patient when we needed the jeep moving back a few meters to get the best view of the animals.

Magical tour!
We had a brilliant three days with Makini going to Napuri waterfalls, Dulati lake, Ngorongoro crater and Tangarine National Park. Nancy, Jobar and the team made everything so easy and went above and beyond to make our trip special.

Amazing first safari experience.
From the booking process with Naomi to arriving in Arusha and meeting the team, the whole process was very smooth. David was a very knowledgeable and personable tour guide with great driving skills. Richard was our chef and his food was amazing and fed us very well through out the whole safari. Would definitely recommend to others and would use them again in the future.

Great communication and very welcoming.
Makini Tanzania Expedition made our first safari experience unforgettable. The communication was great all throughout. They have gone above and beyond. They picked us up from the airport, drove us to our accomodation and also helped us get to an ATM. I highly recommend booking your Safari tour with them. We had David as our tour guide/driver, he was absolutely fantastic. So knowledgeable and caring. Really good at driving too. Richard the chef cooked delicious meals. Thanks again.

Great 5-day Safari with Agustino
Good value for money Safari. We did 3 days Serengeti, 1 day Ngorongoro and 1 day Tarangire, which turned out to be the best route in our opinion. Our guide Agustino was amazing and had an answer to every question, sharing knowledge about his country enthusiastically.
Some last minute changes in the itinerary were a bit inconvenient, but all in all an amazing experience where we got to see the big 5 and many more animals (some really up close) than we could have imagined.

Overwhelmed by how well the safari went and by how good value it was.
The safari was great, tents comfortable and tour guide far exceeded expectations.
I wanted to see predators and we saw all three major ones plenty of times (lion, cheetah and leopard) including two hunting. The guide (Godfrey) always made sure to take us somewhere new and was able to spot animals beyond the horizon somehow, like a sixth sense. Of course we saw elephants, hyenas, buffalo, wildebeest, vultures, hippos, crocs, ostriches, mongeese, zebras and loads of birds. We even saw a few rhinos from a distance.
The tents and food were all arranged without fuss, and we were never hungry, nor cold or uncomfortable besides driving the dirt roads on safari but even luxury safaris use those same roads and vehicles.
The vehicle was clean and suitable, no one ever was without a view of an animal and we changed orderly to make sure front seat was evenly used.
I was sceptical of the whole arrangement after my time elsewhere in Africa but the whole thing went off as well as expected or better. The price didn't change from the quote, everything they said was included was true and the office staff checked in daily in case anything needed extra help (it didn't).
I highly recommend Makini and will be recommending them to friends if they go to Tanzania. I don't know what other tours were like or the price they paid but I couldn't find anything cheaper for the inclusions and even as a dodgy budget backpacker was extremely happy with the whole experience.

Excellent tour
Very good safari. We saw everything we wanted and more. The food was very good and the driver was very helpful. He was really making his best to give us the best views on the animals and helped us also to buy some souvenirs.
