Amazing!
The guide is the most important part of any safari, and we were fortunate to have an absolutely wonderful one! Juma was exceptional throughout the trip, always ready with answers to our questions. His driving skills were excellent, especially on the rugged roads of the Serengeti, and his patience and professionalism made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five and even witness the incredible river crossings!
A special thanks to Lissa as well for patiently answering all our questions before the trip and ensuring everything was clear and well organised. Communication was transparent, smooth, and reassuring from start to finish.
Highly recommend this team to anyone planning a safari! They truly made our experience unforgettable.

Amazing, everything was perfect!
I totally recommend Makini for the safari tour. They were incredibly helpful, attentive, and cooperative with everything we needed — fully focused on making sure we had the best possible experience, and they truly delivered. Thank you so much for such an amazing trip! Tanzania is a beautiful country, its people are wonderful, and the food is incredible. Being able to see all those animals so close, in their natural habitat, was indescribable. I’m beyond happy with this trip and will be recommending it to everyone!

Grayson is best guide!!
I was with a guide named Grayson, and he was the best!!! You are really kind. I was lucky on the first day, and thanks to the guide, I got to see the Big 4!!😍 The next day, I finished watching the Big 5. In the sections where we could play music, they even provided speakers. It was so much fun because you explained the animals in detail!
Especially on the first day, we focused on observing animals and taking photos. On the second day, the explanations about the animals were given in more detail, so I was able to listen better☺️ I saw them eating lion food for two days straight! You drive so well and are very considerate :)
I definitely want to come back to the Serengeti, and if I can get in touch, I’d love to be with Grayson!

Grayson, The best guide ever
We choose camping for 3D2N. Whole schedule was perfect. We saw ALL big 5 also 6 groups of lions. The best part was our guide Mr. Grayson. He was sooo kind and if we ask something, he answer everything to us. He drive smooth like butter. The only dissapointed part was car condition. Electricity does'nt work well, Also freezer too. We expect freezing beer during safari. But our beer was not cold at all. Exept that, Everything was perfect.

5 stars – Unforgettable Big Five Safari!
Huge thanks to our safari organiser Lissa. She was incredibly patient answering all my questions about the itinerary, accommodation and meals. Everything was arranged perfectly.
Our driver-guide Burton was extremely professional. He shared tons of fascinating facts about wildlife and drove very smoothly and safely throughout the trip.
The other group members on our shared tour were all lovely and friendly. We had such an amazing time together.
We were incredibly lucky to spot the entire Big Five! This has truly been an unforgettable experience.

Exceptional safari organized to perfection, with outstanding support from Ilham!
We had a fantastic safari in Tanzania with Makini! Everything was well organized, but a special thank you goes to Ilham, who helped us book the trip and took care of us. He was always available, super helpful, and made sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!

Intense 4 day safari will all the Big 5. I was very pleased.
I was very pleased with our safari. Our guide was very knowable, and could answer all our questions. He also knew his way round the parks and found the animals.
A little minus was the booking. The accommodation for the third night was not working according to plan. Lizza was however very understanding and really tried to help.
Working seatbelts must be available in the vehicle.

Reliable, professional safari operator with expert guides and truly unforgettable experiences.
My wife and I spent 7 days on safari with Makini, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From the very beginning, Ilham was incredibly helpful and flexible, always willing to accommodate our needs and make sure everything was organized perfectly.
We had two guides during our safari. Our first guide was very young, but already had an impressive knowledge of the local area, wildlife, and biology. From the second day until the end of the safari, we were accompanied by a very experienced guide whose knowledge of the animals and the territory was truly exceptional.
Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to witness the Great Migration river crossing five times and see all of the Big Five in a single day — an absolutely unforgettable experience!
Of course, wildlife sightings also depend on luck, timing, and, above all, patience. But having a knowledgeable and passionate guide makes a huge difference.
Thank you, Makini, for this incredible experience and for giving us memories that we will never forget!

Fantastic knowledgeable skillful great to be on safari with
Wow doesn't describe our trip. From Lissa the coordinator who was there to answer any questions we had before and after the booking was made to arranging extra surprises for our 25th wedding anniversary. Kelvin was amazing in making us feel comfortable and having ample toilet stops along the way. He was able to put us in the right spot to experience the animals in their natural habitat and answer any questions we had along the way the vehicle was comfortable and always clean. The accommodation was comfortable and the food was great but the people at the accommodation was what made it amazing.
