A quality tour, but room for improvement
4/5

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.

Exploring and cruising: The Pearl of Africa
4/5

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
4/5

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

Efficient and Reliable Tour Operator For Transport, and Accommodation Bookings
4/5

I went for a tour to Bwindi Impenetrable forest in August. My Tour was well planned to cover my safari tour, and accommodation bookings. The tour guides and drivers were very friendly and this made my tour experience even better. I was very satisfied with the service rendered by this tour company.

The review below is the personal opinion of Raija and not that of SafariBookings.
An average operator who needs more experiences to organize tours
3/5

In our safari there were too much sitting in the car and the car was not very comfortable. We even had to take some luggages inside the car and the space there was very limited.
For vegetarian the food was very similar almost the whole trip (beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, rice and eggs for protein source) and usually same way prepared.
