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!

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.

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.

Everything well Organized and Executed
Booking a trip to Africa is a daunting task with 100's of tour providers offering all sorts of tours and expeditions. George and his team ensured that all the details of our trip were planned perfectly, from the time we landed, we had a smiling face to welcome us and bring us to the hotel.
The vehicle was an African Limousine (Land Cruiser Safari Stretch), brand new with all the right modifications to ensure our safaris were perfect.
Ken, was extremely nice, great personality, very knowledgeable and insightful. No animal or small gesture was missed on his part. Around the craziness of drivers in Africa, Bob drove very respectfully, and NEVER spoke/texted on his phone while driving. I would ask for Ken the next time I come to Kenya.
In Tanzania we had the best 4x4 driver, Salim, he also noticed every animal and sight to see. We crossed rivers, mud bogs, and unbelievable terrains with calm and ease. Very much appreciated as we saw several trucks on their side during river crossings.
We arrived very early for our flight to Zanzibar, flight was good. In Zanzibar, I recommend upgrading to the Ocean Front Villa (nothing wrong with the villa given) . but for very little $$ you get a great view with a great room. All meals were included, very nice spread with something for anyone. If you don't like buffets, you choose the a la carte restaurant which is very inexpensive. We extended our trip for two days and went to Stone Town. Very much worth the time and small upgrade. Stone Town is filled with history that is so very important to learn, and we were only 10 minutes to the airport the next day.
Great Experience! Thank you George, Ken and Salim.
