Amazing
This tour was so great.
They were very communicative from the get-go, telling us way in advance and then reminding us the night before of the pick up time the following morning.
The boat trip was very informative and we saw lots of animals.
Then when we actually got to the park, our guide, Leo, was very knowledgeable and passionate, and showed us so many cool things!
I am vegan and there was always food for me. This made me feel really welcome.

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.

Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro crater
Me and my friends were in Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro crater. It was amazing, we were really excited. Our guide Innocent was perfect, he was always happy and he told us a lot about the animals and he always tried his best to find us the best spot to see as many animals as possible. Also the food in both camps was delicious. Thank you again!

An expertly guided, professional safari experience!
What a wonderful experience! My girlfriend and I decided on the 3-day camping trip from Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and were super happy with our decision. We saw the big 5 and so much more thanks to our expert guide, Elias, who made sure we stayed on schedule during a jam packed trip. He was a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, the country, and the culture. Our dedicated chef, Salim, cooked amazing balanced meals (we kept joking that the safari meals were the best we had so far in Tanzania). The team set up and tore down camp quickly every day and the campsites were clean and had breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape (we woke up to a group of zebras chowing down 5 feet from our tent). Mr. T met with us at our hotel before and after the trip to answer all our questions and make sure we were prepared for a fun and comfortable trip. Overall, I would highly recommend this safari tour provider to anyone looking for great value, expert guides, and a safe, fun, professional experience.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
We had an absolute blast on our Safari trip with Beacon Safaris. Everything was smooth, we got picked up right on time at the location we shared ahead of the trip and from there our driver Yustas (spelling might be off) ensured everything went without a hitch!
We went to Hells Gate and did a biking Safari + hiking, ending the night with a boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The next day we went to Masai Mara where we got to see all the animals real close! Including lions, jaguars, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, etc... and came back to Nairobi 2 days later feeling more than satisfied. Cannot recommend enough! The lodging was very nice and all the meals provided were great too. But what really made the trip worth it was our driver. He was nice, fun and had sooo much knowledge about the animals that he shared with us throughout the trip. We really felt we could trust him and he did not disappoint. We will be back for more!

Book with Suricata!!
Honestly an amazing experience. If we had more time I would have done a few more days. This company took time to send John (who was lovely) to our hotel to give us a briefing of what to expect for our Safari tour, we didn't have time for the briefing until late the night before, yet they still went out of their way to send him down and he was so good and had us prepared. Our guide for the full two days Augustino was the best you could ask for, so informed on the animals and considering you pass a lot of Maasai people, he knew a lot about their culture and history. He was also just a fun guy all around.
As for the actual safari experience, it was incredible, understandably and something I very much appreciate is you cannot be guaranteed to see all the animals no matter what safari you do, if you want guarantee, you'd go to a zoo. However, Augustino knew the right places where animals may be hiding or resting and on our first day we managed to catch 3 of the Big 5, which was very lucky. Second day we managed to hit 4 of the Big 5 which we were super happy with. Water and local beer provided which was a nice little perk to chill in the back looking for animals with a beer in hand.
Absolutely 0 complaints with accommodation, we prepared for camping but were stoked to find we were staying at a lodge which was actually quite nice.
When it comes to food, I definitely think breakfast could be improved, as I just like a heartier breakfast to start my day and I found the options very not to my taste, but that's 100% personal preference. When it came lunch and dinner though, it was too good and we were having lunch in some wicked spots. Dinner was even better I was super happy with all that we got.
Great company in general to deal with would do it again and again
