Best TANZANIA SAFARI with Makini
I am so glad I booked with Makini Tanzania Safari! I worked with Lucas and he planned the best week for me. He kept my requests in mind of what I wanted to see and was very impressed when I was asked if I would want to switch a day around because he had heard that there was a large migration group passing through a certain area that I had wanted to see. All of the accommodations were excellent and my driver guide was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and kind and always made me feel safe and comfortable, which, as a female solo traveller, is very important. Thank you for this once in a lifetime experience! I highly recommend to anyone looking for an adventure! Coffee tour was amazing, waterfalls and hot spring was really good!!

Wonderful attention to his clients
My experience with this travel agency is very possitive, Lucas Makini is very kind and helpful. He helped us with everything from the begging of our trio until the end.
Even tho he took us to places after the safari that we didn’t expect

Amazing organised tour
We made an spontaneous booking the same week as the tour and got all the help we needed. We were very impressed by the organisation, easy contact and great services! We booked four day safari and enjoyed it a lot. Very thankful for the services, we arrived late at the airport and was picked up and driven to a hotel to sleep the first night before the Safari. Everything was very well organised! We hope to be able to came back one day

Kilimanjaro! Thanks to John. We both made it!
So my brother and i, we made the 6-day-tour trekking all the way up to Mount Kilimanjaro. It was a holiday at its best. Although somehow mentally and physical exhausting we got an unplayable support from our crew. 29 Africans made our trip a never forgettable one. All the porters, cook and guides made us feel like a family and my brother and i had nothing to worry at all. Best food, helpful people, great tents and company. I would like to say thank you to all of them, But mostly to our second guide John who motivated my brother to keep on going for four more hours (he felt already very weak and exhausted after 3 hours on our summit day). Without John help and motivation words, he might not have reached the top! How amazing it was, that i could hug my brother at the peak!
Great safari experience safari
This was my first time doing a safari and the itinerary from Makini Tanzania Safari was really wonderful. Our group of six were taken by the most excellent guide/driver, to a number of national parks. These included the Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater and serengeti
Guide provided a wealth of information. Sometimes I couldn’t keep up with all of the information he know about the parks, the area, and the animals. He knows it all! He especially delivered when we were in the crater and overheard on the radio that some rhinos were spotted. He went above and beyond to make sure we got to the spot where they were seen. And that checked off the Big 5 list.
All of the lodges we stayed at were amazing, especially the Ngorongoro Farmhouse at the end of the safari. Lodge staff were great, food was amazing and more than plentiful.
I can’t thank the organizers enough for an amazing experience. Definitely recommend this company

Incredible 5 Days Safari
We booked a safari with Makini Safari who came recommended by a friend that went on this trip, and it was the best decision we could have made! Lucas helped to arrange and customize the trip to our needs and was available to us 24/7. The itinerary was very detailed, and everything was organized seamlessly as described. Our driver, David was exceptional. His knowledge and passion for his job and the animals were incredible. He helped make our trip a memorable one.

Organised reasonably well but should have given more safari time in Serengeti and ngorongoro
The tour started with Tarangire safari which is a decent experience, with some large herds of elephants and buffaloes. We did see lions and giraffes. The stay at a resort on the way to Serengeti was ok. Serengeti was wonderful and the guide made every effort to take us wherever there were interesting sightings. The camp site at Serengeti was bearable at most and we spent just one night there. We could hear hyenas and a lion roar at night, which was quite exciting. The next half day is all we got at Serengeti though we did see a lion hunting a zebra. After a quick lunch we headed back towards ngorongoro. Considering the distance we had to cover both ways, the stay at Serengeti was far too short (you require at least 3 nights and 3 days for a relaxing Serengeti safari) . We reached ngorongoro before sunset. The tents, stay and the weather were very comfortable. The next half day is all we got (again too short) at ngorongoro. The park though small still requires a full day if you wish to relax and go around at your pace. There again it was found wanting as we just completed everything hurriedly. I feel the guide stopped at too many places on the way to the parks and we spent unnecessary time at stops. The operator (Makini) who organised the tour tried to squeeze in too many things in a short span. We could easily have skipped Tarangire and added another day to Serengeti. The food was great at times and mediocre at times. The guide and chef I would say did their best but as I said we moved too often from one place to the other leaving very little time for them to do their job properly and for us to relax. In the end we did cover a lot of distance which could have been avoided giving us more time for safari.

Good value tour. Everything went well. Had a great time out on Safari a time I will never forget. The food was good.
