Great tour with thoughtful touches
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, managing to see the big five and more! Our guide, Dickson, was experienced and knowledgable - ensuring we had a safe trip and saw everything we wanted. Naomi was very prompt with communicating and arranging everything for us to make the trip seamless. We were blown away by the thoughtful little touches that made our experience feel personalised and special. We felt it was excellent value for money with the price including flying in and out of Zanzibar and a visit to 3 national parks. I would highly recommend Makini if you are considering this company for your honeymoon or otherwise.

Everything I had hoped for!
5/5

We had an amazing time on our safari that we booked with Makini! From start to finish there was great contact with Makini, they answered all our questions and gave a lot of information. The day before the safari started, an employee from Makini came to our hotel for a short briefing. We felt very prepared and informed. The safari itself was truly amazing. Our driver, Abu, really knew the parks and took us to the best places for animal sightings. He also knew so much information about the animals. The campsites were well arranged. We had a private chef who made our breakfast, lunch and dinners throughout the safari. Alltogether an amazing experience, strongly recommend!

Reliable and full service
5/5

Makini Safari is excellent. Nancy runs a great safari company and I’m sure has the best customer service in the business. Machete was our guide and he was funny and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw everything possible. He would answer questions immediately and get back with you with the answers later. The only downside was a group of Americans that were ‘partying’ at the campsites which was a shame. They were from a different safari company so nothing could be done. Hopefully the safaris should companies can pressure this company to not allow their safari patrons to act in this way by bringing it to the safari association

Great adventure
5/5

Salé, an exceptional, friendly, thoughtful driver led us in search of the animals of the savannah showing all his experience in offering us the best views.
Food and hotel were always perfect... Maybe, only in one case not at its best

First class from the initial enquiry to the ride back to the airport I was supported all the way. Every day brought something different and magical moments. Big 5 was seen and many many more.

Truly unforgettable, thank you Makini, thank you Tanzania.

All beyond expectations
5/5

I need to give a shout out to Go Makini Tanzania Expedition! We had a blast of a Safari experience. Our outstanding guide Ombeni and our amazing cook Pastor made the best out of our 6 days experience with them. I don't need to talk about the national parks, they are stunning and a must see, but Makini made the difference. Also the staff (thanks Nancy!) were always present in the organization to make sure we had the best possible experience. I highly recommend choosing Makini for an all around great experience. Thank you for this unforgettable memory!

Amazing tour operator and unforgettable experience!
5/5

The organisation from Makini prior to the safari was fantastic, the staff were responsive for any questions I had via what’s app very quickly, every detail was thought of and communicated to us.

Our guide Calvin was absolutely incredible and really the highlight of our trip, he was so knowledgeable and friendly and made our experience 10/10

The jeeps were comfortable, had everything you needed and very well designed.

The camps we stayed at were great, the food was amazing and staff couldn’t do many more for you if they tried. The lunches we had in the game drives were also great.

The hot air balloon experience was absolutely unforgettable and once in a lifetime.

Would 10/10 recommend this company and will definitely be suggesting to friends and family if they ever go to Tanzania safari

Unforgettable experience!
5/5

I did the tour with Makini. And it was my first experience to do a safari tour so i had no idea what to do actually. And the staff Naomi which was taking care of me helped me for everything about and during the tour. You can expect how perfect my tour was. I saw a lot of animals with the guide and every chef cooked such a nice meal. You won’t regret to choose them!
