Very good service for affordable price
We have been satisfied and now we can't forget Tanzania and its National Parks. The safari was amazing and we saw a lot of animals. We saw a lot of lions in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and also leopard and cheetah in Serengeti. We have also visited Arusha park (it's nice and good starting point) and Tarangire (a lot of elephants!!).
We were only 2 in the jeep, our guide David was friendly and amazing spotting animals in a distance.
Some roads are bumping and driving to Serengeti is tough, but it's a great experience.
We have really enjoyed our time in Tanzania.

Based in Tanzania, Makasa is an excellent choice to organise a trip of a lifetime
Overall, we have thoroughly enjoyed our trips with Makasa, and this is reflected in the fact that we have repeatedly used them (3 times in 2 years) and consistently recommended them to family and friends. Over the course of our trips, we have found their guides knowledgeable (both in animals and in birds) and eager to show us the beauty of the bush. They have been before the crack of dawn and enthusiastically driven us around for the full day, only getting back at dusk.
There is a real "family feel" about Makasa, where you feel that the owners personally attend to the details of your trip and make it their mission to make sure that your trip is a once in a lifetime experience. Whether it's a camping safari or more luxurious travel, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Makasa to organize it for you.

Personalised, respectful safari
Makasa has their offices in Tanzania, run by a Tanzanian/German and Dutch couple. As there we no other intermediate companies involved the communcation went smooth and well organised and we were able to organise a safari to our personal wishes. The safari jeep was excellent, as was the driver/guide. His knowledge was good, with respect for nature and people. We slowly build up our safari (total 12 days), ending for a couple of days in the Serengeti, and it was magnificent. Whenever we needed Makasa, they were there to help. We strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience with 5* service
Went for the Kilimanjaro expedition with Makasa. The best choice we could have made. Great guides who actually monitor your (health)situation carefully and do everything possible to help enhance your chances to make it to the summit. As comfortably as possible. And so we did. What a fantastic experience. Even breaking my leg after a mis step on the way back hasn't spoiled the memory. Selma en Ngomi made sure I got down safely and took great care of everything in hospital etc.
If you consider climbing the Kili, do it with Makasa and you will have the best chance of actually getting there and enjoying the trip to the full!

Efficent and effective Agent
Great resort, stayed in Mara Serena. Image Travel booked everything from Nairobi-Wilson air transfers to Full Board Accommodation.
Mwanje was a pleasure to deal with.
We had one "hickup" whilst there, but a couple of calls to Mwanje and all was resolved.
Well done. Great Job Image Travel

professional and flexible travel company
Image Travel Limited was wonderful, when we arrived we immediately felt part of the family)) The Company representatives were professional throughout and did everything possible to meet our expectations. In 9-days safari tour we visited Lake Naivasha and Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli national parks. We saw plenty of wildlife including Hippos, Buffalos, Elephants, and we were lucky enough to see a linos and cheetahs!
The hotels were very good. Staff was very friendly. The food was fine, we had the best rooms with the best views and the best locations.
Our driver, Joseph, was very professional, punctual, knowledgeable, very safe and skilled. He shared his knowledge not only about the animals but about the culture too and showed us a part of Africa.
Dear Mwanje and Caren, thank you so much for a wonderful trip. We really enjoyed the safari and would love to do it one day again. We will return to you guys in the future if we will have an opportunity to come back. As an advise to other travelers- check the hotels through TripAdvisor and other sites, it will help you to choose the best hotel that suits you ;)

Botswana is amazing!
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Africa! I would say it is the best holiday I have ever had and I still go to sleep at night thinking about all the amazing animals we saw.
All three camps in Chobe, Savute and the Okavango Delta were beautiful and so very different that they made the experience even better.
We saw so many animals both from land and water in Chobe that I thought nothing could top it. Then came Savute, where we had the most knowledgeable guide, as well as the most fun camp staff who went above and beyond to make our stay the best. Their songs at dinner, their formal 'sundowner' bar in the middle of nowhere, their great sense of humour and friendliness will never be forgotten.
Our camp in the Okavanga Delta was another gem. Being on the water, whether in the mokoro or on the motorboat trying to catch a fish, was very relaxing and gave us yet another perspective.
Christine Boecker's travel arrangements, with 8 of us coming from a variety of places and meeting up, were absolutely perfect. Everything went so smoothly.
I hope that I will be able to go again someday and wouldn't hesitate to use Christine's services.
