Everything as promised. Enjoy Fig Tree Tours
Everything was as promised except of pickup time on first day. Although we were picked up after 7 we left for Safari after 10:30 am because car was waiting for people booked in different companies. In the car each one of us had safari sold by different company but it was not a problem at all.
Safari was better the expected. We have seen thousands of animals and all kinds that were possible to be seen in Serengeti/Tarangire/Ngorongoro. Tents were very basic but that's what was in the offer :)
Food was good. Car was little bit used but still ok. Driver was great and very helpful.
For sure I can recommend this company :)

Truly amazing experience, and with the best guide ever!
Twaha drove to Kigali, Rwanda to pick up a friend and I to do gorilla trekking in Uganda. He was organized and on time. Turned out, he was great company as well! We had such a fun time. Twaha is very personable and a pleasure to be around, and seems to know everybody! He had to navigate some pretty treacherous, washed out roads to get us to the Bwindi forest on time, but we always felt safe. After our 2 days of gorilla trekking, he drove us back to Kigali. Whenever we wanted to stop anywhere, he was always so accommodating (coffee shop, pictures, more pictures...) and always with a smile. Never made us feel like we were wasting his time. Also, a big shout out to Teresa, his office manager. She was always quick with the email replies, schedules, and list of what we needed. I wish we had the chance to thank her in person. Thanks Twaha and Teresa! Keep up the great work!

The best day trip!
Our guide was so professional, he was very knowledgeable about the people and area. The waterfall was beautiful and the hike was not hard at all. Thank you so much we had a great day!!!

Trip to Tanzania
My wife and I went with another couple on a 5 day safari in Tanzania with Travel Partners. We visited 3 national parks, including a 2-night stay in the Serengeti. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and spoke very good English. We all had a great time, and I've already recommended it to other friends.

Everything went very smoothly. Sander was very responsive and helpful during out trip.
The tour was great. Even when there were issues with the experience Sander was always available to help. Overall everything went very well! The driver was fantastic and always helpful, the accommodations were exactly what we had asked for, and the animals were out and having fun!

A budget tour and you get what you pay for
Definitely a budget option, and you get what you pay for. Accomodations were a little run down, but functional. Food was good East African fare. I had two drivers/guides during my trip. The first was not very social and his van was very rickety. We almost broke down and got stuck multiple times. He got us to the animals, but also tried to talk us out of a morning game drive. The second driver was much more personable and I really enjoyed riding with him.
Overall, I would consider booking with them again, but will probably pay a little more and go for a smoother experience.

Flexible, communicative and reliable organisation and a good tour
It was pretty good in all ways.
But one member of our group needed to go to the airport after the tour and not mentioning an extra fee, did the driver expect one of another KSH 1000.- after delievering her there.
Honest as i am is this a general phenomena in Kenia, which i really recommend everybody there to change immediately. It makes people just feeling tricked. And tricked people will usually not come back again. In whatever kind of case.
I told it to the driver (who otherwise made a great job) and Mr. Wilson already. I hope they will change that in the future. Being even there that communicative as they have been in any other case.
Otherwise, great job!
Well back to my experience, the safari was good, the accommodation at Lenchada was okay and for my part was everything done as promised.
I can and really will recommend Masai Mara Train.

Makario provided First Class Service, even surpassing my expectations!
Let me start by saying that Makario Safaris contact person, M/S Mwaka , was very helpful and provided service beyond expectations.
Any emails, calls and messages were responded to timeously, without delay, and the responses were relevant to my queries. Any time I was told that they would revert, this would happen in a timeous way.
Makario are very knowledgeable in the offerings in Rwanda, the Great Lakes region as well as East Africa.They will make you feel "at home", away from home.
Our holiday was fantastic, memorable and well coordinated and I will not hesitate to recommend anyone travelling to Rwanda and the Great Lakes region to use Makario Safaris for their bookings and travel.
