The Perfect Tanzania & Kenya Luxury Safari
Our 9-day private luxury safari with Wivi Agency was simply unforgettable. Combining Tanzania and Kenya in one trip allowed us to experience some of Africa's most famous wildlife destinations.
In Tanzania, our guide Gerry took us through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater. Seeing huge elephant herds in Tarangire, a leopard resting in a tree in Serengeti, and a black rhino in Ngorongoro were moments we will never forget. We also enjoyed incredible sightings of lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hyenas, and thousands of wildebeest.
The luxury accommodations were exceptional. We loved our stays at Arusha Coffee Lodge, Melia Serengeti Lodge, and Ngorongoro Lion's Paw Camp. Every property offered excellent service, beautiful views, and outstanding comfort.
Our adventure continued in Kenya with our guide Tema, who introduced us to the magic of the Maasai Mara. We witnessed lion prides, cheetahs hunting on the plains, massive elephant herds, and unforgettable river wildlife. Tema's knowledge and passion made every game drive exciting.
A special thank you to Elias from Wivi Agency for organizing everything so perfectly. Every transfer, accommodation, and safari activity was seamless. We felt cared for from the moment we arrived until the day we departed.
What made this safari special was not only the incredible wildlife but also the people. Gerry, Tema, and Elias genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience.
If you're looking for a luxury East Africa safari, Wivi Agency is the company to trust. This trip gave us memories that will last a lifetime.

Down to business
Our tour guide picked us up in Arusha for our 5 day safari in Tanzania. Innocent was a great driver. We put in some serious miles about ~850mi. Food and accomodations were also great.

Safari in Uganda was magnificent, but there were some organizational shortcomings
Overall, the safari went very well and the country was magnificent, but unfortunately there were a few minor issues on the organizational side.
I will start with the positives. During the booking process and afterward, communication with the manager was excellent. The company provided all the necessary information, reminded me to apply for a visa, informed me about the introduction of the health declaration due to Ebola that had to be completed before the flight, clarified the details of my flight, and so on. The airport pickup went according to plan, and I set off on the safari right away. Uganda’s parks are magnificent - the gorillas, chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Murchison Falls.
Nevertheless, there were several shortcomings that I unfortunately have to mention.
First, the lodge in Murchison Falls was changed from Pakuba Safari Lodge to Bamboo Safari Lodge. Bamboo Safari Lodge is a good lodge, but unlike Pakuba, it is located outside the park. Although it is formally situated right next to the park entrance, in reality it takes about 20 minutes to get to the area where the main game drive begins. Even if that road is inside the park, it is mostly an asphalt road with almost no animals around, while the main game drives take place in the Pakuba area.
Second, I missed out on the game drive in Lake Mburo National Park. The original plan was that I would arrive, spend the night in Entebbe, and the next day go to Lake Mburo, where I would have an evening game drive. When I provided my flight details and said that I would arrive at 11:15 AM, the company said that “since you arrive early on the first day, we can start the safari immediately” and suggested slightly changing the plan so that I would go straight from the airport to Lake Mburo on the first day for an evening game drive. I agreed, but it turned out that this plan was not feasible. The drive to Lake Mburo, taking traffic and congestion into account, took so long that I arrived at Lake Mburo only around sunset, and the evening game drive in this park did not take place.
The third issue was on the first day in Queen Elizabeth National Park. According to the plan, I was supposed to have two activities that day: Afternoon - game drive in Ishasha, and Evening - game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park. In my view, this should have meant that the first activity would start around 12:00–13:00, but the guide had a different understanding of this. I spent half the day at the lodge, and only at 15:00 did the afternoon activity begin, which consisted of a very short game drive in one area. Then at 16:30 the evening game drive in Queen Elizabeth already started. At the same time, the guide claimed that evening game drives in Queen Elizabeth begin at 16:00, but I asked the staff at the park entrance and they said that an evening game drive usually starts at 15:00.
I cannot say that these shortcomings seriously spoiled my overall impression of the safari, but I prefer to describe my impressions honestly, and perhaps this feedback will help the company take these points into account and avoid such issues in the future.

Six Days of Pure Safari Magic with Makaro Travel
After returning home, friends and family kept asking what the highlight of our Tanzania trip was. The truth is, there wasn't just one. Every single day of our 6-day safari with Makaro Travel brought something unforgettable.
From the moment we were greeted by our guide, Penta, we knew we were in good hands. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. What made him special was his ability to make every game drive feel like a unique adventure. He wasn't simply driving us through the parks; he was helping us understand the stories unfolding around us.
Over six incredible days, we explored some of Tanzania's most spectacular wildlife destinations. We watched elephants wandering among ancient baobab trees in Tarangire, experienced the breathtaking landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, and spent unforgettable days in the Serengeti surrounded by wildlife.
One of my favorite memories was an early morning game drive when the sun was just rising over the Serengeti. The golden light stretched across the plains while lions prepared for the day and herds of zebras grazed peacefully nearby. It was one of those rare moments where you simply stop taking photos and appreciate what you're witnessing.
Penta's wildlife knowledge was extraordinary. He could identify animals from incredible distances and always seemed to know where the best sightings would be. Thanks to him, we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, hyenas, and countless other species. His enthusiasm made every sighting even more exciting.
The accommodations arranged by Makaro Travel were excellent throughout the journey. Each lodge was comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly located, allowing us to maximize our time in the parks while enjoying wonderful hospitality every evening.
What impressed us most was how smooth everything felt. There were no logistical worries, no unnecessary stress, and no wasted time. Makaro Travel handled every detail professionally, allowing us to focus entirely on enjoying the experience.
Six days passed far too quickly, but the memories will stay with us forever. Tanzania exceeded every expectation, and Makaro Travel played a huge role in making that happen.
A heartfelt thank you to Penta and the entire Makaro Travel team for an unforgettable adventure. If you're looking for an authentic, well-organized safari filled with incredible wildlife encounters and exceptional guiding, look no further.
This was truly a journey we will never forget

Great experience
The safari was an incredible experience, a lifelong dream finally come true. I spent countless hours in a comfortable jeep, but it was fantastic. The landscapes are incredible, better than a TV documentary. Elius was the perfect driver for my trip, so experienced and safe; I always felt safe, even on rainy days and muddy roads.
Furthermore, he has in-depth knowledge of animal behavior and explained so much about their characteristics. Finally, he was so kind and thoughtful, making us feel at home among friends. Thank you, Elius, for everything you did. Don't hesitate to contact him!
