Great Company - good communication, knowledgable and just plain fun!
5/5

I would definitely recommend Makario Safaris! Godfrey planned everything perfectly for our group. The accommodations he made for us were outstanding. We stayed at the Tiloreza Volcanoes Ecolodge which was a short drive to Volcanoes National Park. The food was fabulous too!
During our drives around Kigali and to our hotel, we were educated and entertained with so many stories about Rwanda and the people. If you are looking for a truly wonderful experience - you can't go wrong with Makario Safaris!

Very attentive ensuring an excellent experience
5/5

From the very first interaction with Godfrey, every detail was thoroughly covered. He graciously answered multiple questions throughout our booking and adventure experience. We arrived fully prepared and were never disappointed. Gorilla trekking and golden monkey trekking were life changing, fun and very safe. Our accommodations were top notch as was the service and food at our lodges. Highly recommend using Makario for your Rwanda adventure. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience - tour operator and guides were exceptional
5/5

I have only great things to say about Godfrey and his team. Not only were they extremely responsive
to any and all inquires and concerns, we were extremely well taken care of both on and off the mountain.
Seeing the gorillas was the trip of a lifetime and Makario made the trip seamless and fun.
Joe and Godfrey were wonderful and informative guides/hosts to Rwanda, introducing us to not only the
wildlife but the people. Five star tour!!

Highly recommend Makario Safaris
5/5

Thank you Makario Safaris for a wonderful trip to Rwanda. Makario was timely and efficient in all interactions to pick the right trip and communicate clearly on trip details. From arrival in Kigali, our visa and luggage were handled smoothly while we relaxed in lounge. Kigali is a lovely, very clean city. Levis, our guide from beginning to end of the trip, was terrific. He provided every need and we relaxed while he did the driving. The Rwanda Genocide museum was an impactful and meaningful visit. We were incredibly impressed with the country of Rwanda and how they’ve improved their country in modern times out of this terrible tragedy.

Of course the mountain gorillas were the bucket list item and exceeded all expectations. Our guide was able to request the right level (no guarantees based on gorillas movements) for our hike. Our interactions were everything we hoped for at very close proximity. Likewise, our golden monkeys hike was enjoyable with a great guide. We appreciated the porters we hired who helped with both our hikes. If wondering whether to hire a porter we recommend definitely hiring one to help the guide clear trail, help you, carry a backpack but most of all support the local economy and support the park. The rangers watch over the animals and make locating & following the animals easier for a rich interaction and also should be tipped.

We felt safe and were very impressed with the people & beauty of Rwanda.

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari in Nyungwe & Virunga with Makario Safaris

Makario Safaris & Our Amazing Guide, Levis
A huge thanks to Makario Safaris for their flawless organization. Every detail, from permits to accommodations, was handled with professionalism. Our driver-guide, Levis, was exceptional—his knowledge of wildlife, patience, and sense of humor made the trip even more enjoyable. His safe driving and insightful commentary enriched our experience, ensuring we got the most out of every destination.
