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!

Review about Kenya by Gowri
Kenya's open landscapes are teeming with wildlife. I was so happy to see zebras and gazelle right outside the Nairobi city limits. Great experience!

Amazing Savannah and the awesome Serengeti!
A huge item on my bucket (oops! Barrel list) that got ticked off last month and it was nothing short of a dream come true. We did a 4 night trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater from 26th to 30th May and Imran of Safari Big 5 did a swell job of organizing the travel as per our requirements.
I have to give a special mention here to Nurdin - our very able and knowledgeable driver, who knows the Serengeti like the back of his palm. An expert driver whose passion is wildlife, he drove us around in Serengeti (it's a 14000 sq km national park, so obviously one can't cover it all) and we were absolutely lucky to sight ALL of the BIG 5, among other adorable birds and animals. And our timing was right, since the Wildebeest were also migrating towards the Mara, so the sight of thousands and thousands of Wildebeest on their migratory trail, which is considered the world's biggest wildlife spectacle, was the icing on the cake.
The African black rhino can be sighted only at Ngorongoro, and guess what?? We saw him there too in all his royalty!!
All thanks to Nurdin and his knowledge, his dedication, his humility and his work.
The Sopa Lodge at Ngorongoro was top class and the Serengeti Seronera Lodge at the Serengeti was also quite good (reviewed both separately).
Would recommend Safari Big 5 to anyone who wants to plan a trip to the amazing Savannah.

Review about Kenya by Mark.W.E
Kenya has a lot to explore and the nation works very hard to preserve nature and allow its own citizens and the global citizens to see and explore nature unhindered

The PERFECT safari experience with an amazing outfit and guide!
I can't say enough great things about our experience with Duma Explore and Shange, our guide. From the moment we arrived they took care of every detail for us. The Duma camp is beautiful, the vehicle is clean & comfortable and the guiding was excellent, definitely ask for Shange if he's available. He has 18 years of experience and was a wonderful person to get to know throughout our trip. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Three weeks we never will forget
Thank you so much for the three greatest adventures weeks we have had. We traveled through South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana.
We saw every animal we could ever dream of. Beautiful sceneries, places and fantastic national pearls.
The guides from Wild Planet Safari, Thale and Ryan, made the trip unforgetable. The knowlage about every animal, flora, fauna and places were explizit. Ryan could spot a animal from a great distance and Thale would make up the best dishes. Since the trip was a personal trip with the only two of us, we were able to take full advantage of our guides and were able to stop when we wanted, get the game drives we wanted and last but not least get the photos we wanted.
The food was delicious, variated and tasty. We still talk about all the different delicious sausages we had every day in addition to dinner. We had all the great camping sites with comforting tents. We espesially remembering the campsite at Mapungubwe where the bushbuck walk next to us whilst we had breakfast, and the monkeyes with some cheeky monkey business.
If you want a tailor made and personal trip, with guides that have the knowlage we would love to recommend Wild Planet Safari with Thale and Ryan!!
Thank you so much for the tour.
