Reliable, professional safari operator with expert guides and truly unforgettable experiences.
5/5

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!

5/5

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.

Lisa was very helpful and kept in regular contact
5/5

We had the most amazing 2-day safari with Makini Safaris visiting Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We honestly couldn’t recommend them enough, especially our driver Suleiman. He was absolutely excellent and really made the trip what it was. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we wanted, knew exactly where to go and was so patient and helpful throughout. We got to see all the animals on our list and so much more!

Lisa was also fantastic from the booking side of things and made everything so easy. It was my birthday while we were there and they even arranged a cake for us on arrival, which was such a lovely surprise.

An unforgettable trip and we’re so glad we chose Makini Safaris. Suleiman was a brilliant guide and a credit to the company. 10/10! ❤️🐘🦁

Excellent Safari Experience with Makini Tanzania Safari
5/5

We had a fantastic safari experience with Makini Tanzania Safari and can highly recommend the tour.

The organisation by Lissa and Naomi was really great. Everything was easy, well organised, and offered at a very reasonable price. Communication and planning were smooth from start to finish.

Our safari guide Raymond did an outstanding job. He guided us safely through the national parks, shared a lot of interesting information about the wildlife and nature, and made sure we got to see as many different animals as possible. His knowledge and experience really made the safari special.

Our chef Saidi was also a great part of the experience. He was very kind, attentive, and highly committed to making sure we were well taken care of. The food was delicious and definitely exceeded our expectations, especially considering that we were camping in the national parks.

All in all, we had an amazing experience and would definitely recommend Makini Tanzania Safari to anyone looking for a well-organised, affordable, and memorable safari in Tanzania.

An Unforgettable Safari in Tanzania with Suleiman
5/5

Our four-day safari was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that is thanks to our incredible guide Suleiman.

From the very beginning, he gave us his absolute best. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, patient and genuinely passionate about wildlife. He did everything he could to make sure we were comfortable, happy and able to experience as much as possible. He knew exactly where to go, what to look for and, most importantly, how to make every encounter feel truly special.

Thanks to Suleiman, we saw so many incredible animals and witnessed moments that we will remember for the rest of our lives. But what impressed me most was his genuine dedication to us. It never felt like he was simply doing a job — he truly cared about making our safari extraordinary.

And the best proof of how amazing the experience was? After four full days, I still didn’t want it to end. Not for a second did I feel tired of the safari or think, “I’ve seen enough.” I could have stayed for many more days. When it was finally time to leave, I actually cried because I didn’t want it to be over.

That says everything.

Our guide Suleiman didn’t just show us the animals — he gave us an experience, memories and a love for Tanzania that we will carry with us. We feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our guide.

If you are considering a safari, I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is exceptional at what he does, and he truly made our safari unforgettable.

Thank you for everything. We will never forget these four days.

We will come back again to see the Great Migration, and we would love to have Suleiman as our guide again. ❤️

6 day mid range Safari
5/5

My sister and I booked the mid range 6 day Safari and Materuni falls trip. It was 5 days of safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and lake Manyara). Everything was absolutely perfect! We had transport to and from the airport arranged, super helpful. Our safari guide, Michael Peter, was AMAZING! He's an expert on birds and was so knowledgeable about everything on the savannah. He was always checking on us and making sure we got to see everything that we could. The accommodations that we stayed at were very clean, comfortable, and safe. We would highly recommend this company for anyone looking for an affordable and spectacular safari trip.
