Top quality safari guide, delicious meals, overall a great value.
Our guide was knowledgeable while flexible and our private chef prepared delicious meals 3 times per day. The best price we could find and overall a great value.
One day, our group of four guys walked around Crater Lake and spent the night at a nice cabin by the lake. Then, for 3 days we were driven around the Maasai Mara park in the safari van, sleeping for two nights in a nice camp with generators to provide hot water and electricity in the mornings and evenings.
Our guide was really knowledgeable about all the wildlife and went the extra mile so that we could see a cheetah up close and personal. Our chef prepared a variety of delicious Kenyan meals and hung out with us at night. Highly recommend Kenya Walking safaris, an unforgettable experience.

Beautiful experience!
Scared, excited and nervous I left my safe home in Sweden and started my trip, Kenya was my destination and my goal was some much needed experience. I meet Isaac Ouma, while staying in Kibera and decided to go on a safari trip through Masai Mara. Isaac's knowledge and passion for the wild amazed me, I learned about the animals and the environment, while seeing the most beautiful sites. Isaac became more than a tour guide, he became a loved friend. I recommend Isaac and Ecobushman to anyone wanting more than a tour.

Outstanding Tanzanian Safari with Makasa!
Our group of four (two couples) took a two-week safari followed by a few days in Zanzibar, all arranged with Makasa. It was a fantastic experience, a trip of a lifetime. Selma, co-owner of Makasa, helped us customize our itinerary to our timeframe and places we wanted to visit. The arrangements made by Makasa were all flawless, and we enjoyed all our lodgings very much. A couple of the places Selma sent us to, Ndarakwai Camp and Rhotia Valley Camp, were off the beaten track and were some of our favorites. Ndarakwai Camp was our first stop when we arrived, and we spent a couple of days there before the actual safari. Because it's not in a national park, you can take walking tours there which allows you to see the wildlife from a different perspective. Plus there's a Maasai village nearby, and we learned a lot by visiting them. On the safari our guide, David, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, planned our days to optimize our wildlife viewing, was patient when we wanted to spend long periods watching lions or herds of elephants, and had a wonderfully subtle sense of humor. Our safari vehicle was comfortable and well maintained. We're all enjoying sharing our pictures and experiences with others. We'd HIGHLY recommend Makasa!!

On time. Good services.
Service was good. Good visits.
The communication was not the best. We took 2 tours the day after our arrival, the person who greeted us told us ok and what time it was but giving us any paper ... but we only paid at the beginning of the visits, it's ok.

Perfectly tailor-made honeymoon
What an amazing time! We just got back from 14 days in Namibia for our honeymoon-- by far the best trip of our lives! Not only because Namibia is a jewel of a country, but also because Andre and his team at Impala Tours made it to be the best trip ever.
Starting from the beginning, Andre was very available online for a tailor-made itinerary. He was always making his best to accomodate our preferences for lodges and tailor it to our budget.
Once arrived, he picked us up from the airport and took care of us the entire time, while not necessarily being with us. He was there at the beginning to brief us on our itinerary, at the middle of the trip to pick up our car from Swakopmund (he drove from Windhoek for that) and put us in a plane to fly to Damaraland. He was also there to welcome us back in Windhoek on the end of the trip and insure transfer to the airport.
All the logistics we really well thought-out, he took care of everything and we just enjoyed our time in Namibia ---- a truly enchanting country.
Another very nice thing he did was also mention to every lodge that we were honeymooners. Surprises were awaiting us at each check in!
We definitely recommend this Tour op', and the price is really, really, worth it.
Enjoy Namibia!

Good organisation for safari
It started not so good. We were at a different gate at the border than our guide. There was a miscommunication between the office and the guide. It was solved quickly but Makasa Tanzanian Safaris could have called us, to apologize.
After this we could have not wish for a better guide. Tom was the best. A good driver and very good guide. We learned a lot. He knows a lot about the flora and fauna. He also knew the right spots for the animals we would like to spot. It was a great experience, because of him. He is also a funny guy.
The accomodations were also perfect. I would choose Makasa Tanzanian Safaris again if I would go to Tanzania.

Easy Going with Easy Tours
We were 7 pax from India and booked our Tanzania Safari trip for 8 Days with Easy Travel based on the TA ranking. And it all proved right. Easy travel were very professional with Owners themselves involved in day to day communications. Sayyedah, Director, responded to all our mails & helped us to plan the most amazing safari. Musaddiq, Director gave us a warm welcome & briefed about our trip & both of them made sure we were comfortable through out our safari which started in Tarangire, then Manyara, then Central Serengeti, then Northern Serengeti and finally ending in Ngorongoro. Herman was our guide and driver and he is not only good in wildlife sightings, but also respects the regulations of the park. We were lucky to see about 32 Lions, 10 Cheetah, 3 Leopards, 2 sightings of Aardwolf, Bat eared Fox, Serval cat are some thing rare to see. We also saw lot of elephants, antelopes, Wildebeest, Giraffes & Zebras & more interesting Birds. We were also lucky to see Mara crossing by a huge herd of wildebeests for which we have to Thank Herman who's patience paid off. Had some intresting moments with the Tsetse Flies. We loved the Lamai triangle for its stunning natural beauty. Earlier we have been to Kruger but Serengeti is the best place in the earth for wildlife and landscape. Now we are among the elite few who witnessed the Mara River Crossing. Thanks to Herman & Musaddiq & Sayyedah of Easy Travel, because without them it would not have been such an Easy going our group. We have also decided to go back with them again in 2016.

Well organized safari to a nice price
Every thing was taken good care of on this safari. We got picked up at our place in Nairobi, then passed by the office where the formalities were taken care of and information about the trip was given. We stayed at a nice place and our private cook made sure that the food was satisfying.

An incredible Safari, a good logistic, very nice guide and cook who fulfil our projects!!!
The overall experience with Meru Moutain treks and safari has been amazing. This is a budget Safari but you definitively get everything that you need. I went for a 4 days, 3 nights safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything has been working perfectly. The guide was friendly and very knowleadgeable. He drives safetly and took time to show us a lot of things and to listen our wishes which match with the scheduled. We had some amazing game drive in the different parks and we saw a lot of animals and we have been most of the time in a good timing to be some of the first one where the action was. The cook was very friendly and cook for us good meals, with everything needed (vegeteables, meet, starchy food) and more than enough concerning the quantity. It has been a life time trip that i will never forget. I can only recommend to you to go travel with them. Thank you again for everything!
