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!

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.

Very friendly and helpfull and she responded very quickly
5/5

We did a 6 day safari tour. We were together with 5 other tourists and we had a really really good experience. Our tour guide was Peter, a very friendly guide with a lot of knowledge. He could answer all our questions and is very social. He had a lot of funny and informative stories about the country and animals and gave us enough time to watch the animals. Our chef for the week was Richard. A very nice and funny guy, with a great taste of food. We ate delicious that week, even better than in the Netherlands haha. Nancy, our tour operator was very friendly and responded very quickly. I had an unforgettable week, and really appreciate all the people that made it possible. I would recommend this company to everyone. Gr

Very accommodating and serious company with fantastic guide
5/5

We took the 4 day fly in tour. We could start the safari directly after landing in central Serengeti and could enjoy 7h excellent safari.
Very good suggestion to stay the two first night at the same camp. We stayed at Land of Nature, an incredible experience with animals passing through the camp all night.
Totally more than 25h animal searching and watching. Our guide Kelvin did more than expected and gave us a fantastic adventure

The best safari tour!
5/5

Makini was an incredible discovery! Without a doubt, it’s the best safari experience in Tanzania. We spent 5 days staying in beautiful, ultra-luxury lodges, and they fulfilled every single request we had—truly beyond words! Our guide, King David, was fantastic: funny, attentive, and it felt like traveling with a friend. And let’s be honest, if he’s called “King,” there’s a reason for it! I recommend it to absolutely anyone—you won’t regret it!

Awesome Safari Experience
5/5

Makini provided a great budget friendly safari experience that was fantastic! All of the staff involved in our trip were excellent and worked to make sure that we had the best experience possible. The meals were cooked fresh every day with more than enough for everybody. The guide who was also our driver was very experienced and well informed to find the best animals and provide knowledge on them all. It was a very fun experience that was made better by all the staff involved!

David the King was truly an invaluable guide, always ready to give advice, attentive to every situat
5/5

David the King was truly an invaluable guide, always ready to give advice, attentive to every situation and detail, and very friendly and kind. The overnight stays were wonderful, the lodges where we stayed were beautiful and clean, and the food was excellent. We were five Italian friends and all five of us were truly impressed and satisfied with the quality of the service. One celiac guest and one vegetarian never had any problems at all with the food. Every day we always found the jeep clean and stocked with water, wine, and lunch boxes for the day. A big thank you also to Naomi, the tour organizer, whose kindness and organization were impeccable. Everything is highly recommended.

Perfect
5/5

The safari was truly unique and wonderful. It was perfectly organized in every detail. The lodges where we stayed were beautiful, clean, and the staff was very helpful. Our guide, King David, was absolutely fantastic – kind, polite, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Noemi was also always available for any of our requests. We couldn’t have chosen a better safari. I highly recommend it. If we were to go on another safari, we would 100% choose them again.

Professional, reliable, accommodating and awesome.
5/5

It was our first African safari. Makini Tanzania Expedition prepared a quote accommodating all our requests. The quote was the best we got compared to that from other companies. Naomi was professional and very quick to respond. We were lucky to have Dickson as our guide throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best safari experience we could have ever imagined. Hotels we stayed in were great and food was delicious. All the people we met were nice and welcoming. Tanzania is a beautiful country. This trip was the closest we felt connected to nature in quite some time. Asante to everyone involved in our trip. We hope we can come back again.

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We did a 3-day safari with Go Makini from Zanzibar to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and it was absolutely incredible. Naomi was fantastic in helping organize everything smoothly, and our guide/driver, Prayer, truly made the experience unforgettable.

Prayer was extremely knowledgeable, well-prepared, and passionate, not just about guiding us but also about protecting the environment and wildlife. Unlike other drivers we saw rushing past, he took the time to respect the animals and their space, and it made our experience feel so much more meaningful. He even went out of his way to help other drivers when they had trouble, which really showed his character and professionalism.

We had an amazing and authentic safari experience.
