Fantastic!
From the moment I arrived at the Airport I felt welcomed by my guide Ayelew. We explored the beautiful churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia. Ayelew, gave great descriptions of the history of the location, building of the churches, and answered all of my questions. He was great with taking my photos to capture memories. I highly recommend visiting Lalibela with Ayelew as your guide!

Stories, Wildlife, and Heart: Luxury Tented Safari in Tanzania
Tito welcomed us on the first morning with a warm smile, sharing a story about tracking elephants as a child with his father. “I learned to read the land before I could read a book,” he said. That same curiosity and patience guided every moment of our six-day safari, from Tarangire to Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
On the very first drive, elephants ambled past, brushing their trunks gently. Zebras raced in playful bursts, dust rising behind them. Tito quietly pointed out a leopard resting in a tree, flicking its tail like it was aware of our admiration, and explained how leopards taught him patience as a boy. Giraffes stretched high to feed, buffalo surveyed the horizon, and lion cubs tumbled under their mother’s watchful eyes, each animal performing its role perfectly in the rhythm of the bush.
Between drives, Tito shared personal stories. He told us about his family in a nearby village, teaching him respect for wildlife and the land, and how he now helps younger guides learn the same. Emanuel at Makaro Travel coordinated every detail, checking in before and during the trip, making planning feel effortless and reassuring.
One afternoon, while watching wildebeest herds move steadily across the Serengeti plains, Tito shared how these migrations shaped his childhood and inspired him to protect the land. At sunrise, the balloon ride lifted us above the golden horizon, and he laughed remembering his first balloon flight, terrified but amazed by the view.
During a night drive in Ngorongoro, hyenas prowled silently while bush babies leapt among the trees. Tito made sure the vehicle was stocked with cold water, snacks, and a refrigerator, telling us, “A comfortable guest is a happy guest — even under the stars.”
By the end of six days, we felt we had traveled not just across Tanzania’s wild landscapes, but into Tito’s world — his childhood, his family, and his love for the bush. Emanuel’s careful planning and Tito’s expertise made this safari immersive, personal, and unforgettable.

Luxury Safari with Thomas: Elephants, Leopards, and More
We began our safari staying at Marera Valley Lodge in Karatu, a peaceful and comfortable base after flying in from Zanzibar. From the first morning, Thomas, our guide, set the tone for an exceptional experience. He planned each day meticulously, reading the land, tracking animals, and positioning us so that every sighting felt natural and uninterrupted.
On the plains of Tarangire, elephants moved with quiet grace, gently touching one another with their trunks. Giraffes reached high into acacia trees, nibbling leaves with delicate precision. Zebras raced energetically across the open grasslands while buffalo stood strong, alert to every sound and movement around them.
In the Serengeti, wildebeest herds moved steadily across golden plains, lions prowled or stretched in the shade, cheetahs crouched low, ready to sprint, and leopards rested elegantly on rocky kopjes, observing the land from above. Thomas constantly explained what we were seeing, adding insights into behavior, territory, and interactions that made every encounter meaningful.
Night game drives in Tarangire were electrifying. With headlights and spotlights, Thomas guided us safely through the dark, revealing hyenas moving stealthily and small nocturnal animals hopping through the underbrush. The vehicle was well stocked with plenty of cold water, snacks, and a working refrigerator, making every drive comfortable and convenient.
The hot air balloon over the Serengeti at sunrise was surreal, floating silently above herds and taking in sweeping landscapes from a unique perspective. Visiting a Maasai village offered a respectful and fascinating glimpse into local culture.
We overnighted in a combination of luxury tented camps in the wilderness, Serengeti Safari Lodge, and Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge, each providing comfort, style, and easy access to wildlife. Ending the safari back at Marera Valley Lodge gave a perfect sense of closure before flying home.
Over nine days, we experienced the wildlife of Tanzania in a way that was personal, immersive, and expertly guided. Thomas’s knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail made every moment unforgettable.

very good
This safari experience was excellent. Our guide was very particular about his appearance—he dressed neatly every day and kept the car clean. Peter and the customer service team also kept following up with us in the group to ensure we were having a good experience.
