Amazing experience and enjoyable adventure!
My boyfriend and I have always wanted to tour Africa and after a long search we decided to go to Uganda. I am so glad we entrusted Maraka Tours and Safaris with our vacation! The staff was amazing and the company handled all bookings to all the places we went to. We were received at the airport by kind staff, the car was very clean and comfortable with bottled water! We had the 15 day package to tour western Uganda and out tour guide was knowledgeable. We explored Murchison falls national park, had a boat cruise and were entertained with different African dances and foods. We saw how the Batwa live in the forests, beautiful scenery, fresh air and so many delicious fresh fruits. Our favorite times were the early morning game drives to see the animals. All accomodation, meals for the day and bottled water were included at pocket friendly prices considering other companies we searched under. I cannot appreciate Maraka Tours and Safaris enough for making our first ever trip to Africa memorable!

A quality tour, but room for improvement
Maraka Tours and Safaris gave us a great time in Uganda. However, they lacked strong communication and preparedness at times. For example, important documents were often misplaced which delayed our travels, we had multiple vehicle issues, some preventable, and we were often arriving very late to our lodges. While no African Safari is without issues, some issues we had on our trip were completely preventable and this is what left us feeling frustrated at times. It is my hope and wish that Maraka will continue to improve their service in order to better demonstrate preparedness to all future clients.
While I still recommend Maraka, I encourage all future guests to understand there will likely be hiccups and to make sure you understand the full itinerary and the very long drives. I hope Maraka can continue to improve as they grow and help make future safaris even better!
I will also say that the staff at Maraka are excellent and very kind. While we did have the issues, they were always trying to work through them. Again, as they grow I hope they will straighten out some things to help make their tours run smoother.

Fabulous
We had a lovely time with my family, it was my first time to see a lion. The tour guide was so lovely and very approachable. They had the knowledge of the place so we learnt quite a lot which was very good for my kids.

Exploring and cruising: The Pearl of Africa
We spent an adventurous and fabulous 2 weeks family tour adventuring Uganda with Maraka Safaris. Hotspots like Queen Elizabeth National Park were such amazing. The salt lake, bird watching within the park were such remarkable features among others. I think Uganda is endowed. Talk about the tour company, the guides were over the top amazing

Affordable Fulfilling Experience
An amazing and fulfilling arrangement by Maraka, especially the bubbly guidance to all those places we went to! Awww.. The experiences at the craters in FortPortal and in the Queen Elizabeth National Park, were really amazing, months have passed now but it all feels like yesterday. We will surely return sometime. Thanks Maraka, thanks Uganda for the great memories
