Makasa made my dream come true!
Our experience with Makasa Safari was truly unforgettable. From the very first contact with Selma and Anne, we received extensive and personal advice for a completely tailor-made trip. Everything was perfectly aligned with our wishes, making the program a perfect fit.
What really made our safari special was our guide, Kelvin. The immense knowledge and expertise that Makasa invests in their guides is priceless. Not only did Kelvin share an incredible amount of information about nature and wildlife, but he also made sure we always felt safe. Thanks to his sharp eye, we witnessed unique animal interactions we would never have noticed ourselves. He made the journey personal, special, and unforgettable. And we had so many laughs with him, too!
From start to finish, we were completely taken care of and free of any worries. Everything went seamlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Makasa Safari far exceeded our expectations – an absolute must!

Very helpful
We had a truly wonderful time; everything went so smoothly, and it was as beautiful as we'd hoped. We've traveled a lot, but this trip is definitely in our top 3! The email communication with Selma & Anne beforehand was also flawless.

Sorry, but I had no much contact to the operater.
The trip was incredibly beautiful. We were 14 days in the mainland Tanzania and 1 week of Sansibar. If I could decide again, I would prefer to stay longer in the mainland and shorter of Sansibar. We had only 1 day in Moshi, 2 or 3 nights would be better for us.
All the drivers were absolutely reiable, drove safely and werde very kind persons, especially Benjamin.
The accommodatins were very good with very friendly staff and wonderful food. We enjoy it very much.

Amazing experience
Our experience in Tanzania was awesome!
We spent 6 days inland and 6 days in Zanzibar. I would have loved to spend one or two more days to get to know Arusha or other city inland.
Stone town was the only city we visited and it was worth those 2 days. An amazing town.
Zara from Makasa helped us to design a fitted tour based on my limitations/suggestions.
Guides, transfers, accommodations were superb.
High five for a very professionally tailored Tour arranged by Makasa

They organized a unforgettable adventure!
We had a wonderful Safari- and beachtrip in Tanzania, very well organized by Makasa Tanzanian Safaris. We were welcomed at every station of arrival on time, all the transfers took place safe and correct – just perfectly planned! Our agent Zara was very helpful and patient – as we postponed the journey for one year she had to be flexible with us, which she really was... Thanks again, Zara!
Our competent and sympathetic driver Steve, who almost became a family member during the trip, made our adventure in the Serengeti unforgettable, a big thank you to him and Makasa, who has chosen very well for us. The places in Zanzibar (Stonetown and Paje) were perfect – we really liked Maru Maru Hotel in Stonetown and appreciated the uncomplicated and colorful location at the east cost in Mahali Hotel.
Just one hint: Arriving in Zanzibar travellers need a local health insurance, which we did'nt have. It was no problem to pay it at the airport (around 22 Dollars p.p.), but you save time organizing this before.
All in all: We highly recommend this agency and would book again with them for sure!

Made our dream come true
We are an adult couple who wanted a trip of a lifetime. Makasi made all our expectations. The trip was tailored by Selma who made a fantastic day-by-day plan with tips and advice based on our budget and the number of days available. Great follow-up all the way up to the trip. The trip was posted on Travel key, an app that we were on during the entire trip. We traveled in the low season and we would recommend that. You avoid queues, you get close to the animals and see them in peace and quiet, and also the straff in lodges. We saw so many animals that we had not dreamed of in their natural element. We felt safe, were picked up at the right time, experienced no unpleasant situations, everything went according to plan. Our fantastic guide Kevin poured out his knowledge, was an expert in finding animals. He had great knowledge of the names of the different species and their way of life. We had 10 days in 4 different parks and all the parks were different with animals and nature. It is special to get so close to the animals when you spend the night in a tent and can hear all the sounds. We ended with 1 week in Zanzibar. 5 days in Paje on the east coast was incredibly beautiful. Beautiful beaches, but aggressive sellers on the beach were unpleasant. Ended with two days in Stonetown which was fantastic with snorkeling and walking in the city. We have experienced fantastic service all the way. Clean and nice at the various accommodations.
