I explored Tanzania with Makisala Safaris
From mid-May to mid-June, I visited Tanzania, where I aimed to explore all the beautiful places, including a safari, hiking Kilimanjaro, city tours, and cultural exploration. I was given very good prices compared to all other companies I had talked to, and also the service and the experience were worth it and fit in my small budget. I ended up doing the safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I visited the town and explored various beautiful places, including Lake Duluti, Napuru Waterfall, and a coffee-making experience. Makisala helped me to explore more within a short time; they were able to create a package with the things that I personally wanted. I want to do a lot more, probably visit Zanzibar and other cities in Tanzania too, and I would highly recommend Makisala.

Makisala Safaris Made My Trip Special
I had such a great time with Makisala Safaris during my trip to Dar and Zanzibar this August. From the start, their communication made everything so easy. I always felt updated and taken care of. The whole experience was smooth, reliable, and honestly such good value for money.
What I loved most was how well everything was organized, which let me just enjoy the trip without stress. Zanzibar was definitely the highlight for me, and the way the team planned it made it really special.
I’d happily recommend Makisala Safaris to anyone, they made my trip both fun and memorable.

Professional
I travelled with Makisala Safaris this September and visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Serengeti. Everything was so well-organized from start to finish; our guide met us on time every day and handled every detail, so all we had to do was enjoy the parks.
Tarangire impressed me with its huge herds of elephants, Lake Manyara was full of birdlife and those famous tree-climbing lions, and then the Serengeti was simply breathtaking with endless plains and incredible wildlife sightings. The accommodations were comfortable and perfectly chosen, and our driver-guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made the whole experience fun.
I highly recommend Makisala Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania, they made my journey smooth, exciting and truly unforgettable.

Exceptional services by Makisala safaris
I was volunteering in Arusha for a few weeks and decided to take a short 3-day safari with Makisala Safaris to Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park.
Everything was arranged so smoothly that I didn’t have to worry about a thing, transfers, park fees, meals, and accommodation were all handled. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, pointing out wildlife I would never have spotted on my own. Seeing elephants up close in Tarangire and the tree-climbing lions of Manyara was just magical.
I loved how Makisala Safaris built a quick yet unforgettable trip that fit perfectly into my volunteering schedule. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a short but amazing safari while staying in Arusha.

They are amazing
I booked my trip to Rwanda’s Twin Lakes and Mount Bisoke with Makisala Safaris, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The team helped me plan everything seamlessly, from transport to permits. So I could just focus on enjoying the adventure.
The Twin Lakes were absolutely stunning, and hiking Mount Bisoke was challenging but so rewarding, especially reaching the crater lake at the top. My guide was knowledgeable, encouraging, and made the whole day feel safe and well-organized.
I left Musanze with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for Rwanda’s natural beauty. Highly recommend Makisala Safaris for anyone looking to explore this side of Rwanda!

Excellent
I recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Gombe National Park with my crew, primarily to see the renowned chimpanzees, and I can confidently say it exceeded all our expectations. The team at Makisala Safaris managed every aspect of our trip flawlessly, from organizing our flights and transfers to providing a comfortable stay at a lakeside lodge.
Trekking through the lush forest with our knowledgeable guide was a highlight, as we came face-to-face with wild chimps in their natural habitat—an experience we will cherish forever. The thrill of encountering these intelligent primates and observing their behaviors together made the adventure even more memorable. Every detail of the journey was meticulously planned, ensuring that we felt safe and well taken care of throughout.
I’m already spreading the word about Makisala Safaris to friends who are looking to embark on their own East African adventures. If you’re considering a trip, I highly recommend them!

Well Knowledgeable
We travelled as a family from Nigeria to Tanzania this August with Makisala Safaris to witness the Great Migration, and it was nothing short of magical. From smooth airport transfers and comfortable accommodations to a warm welcome from the team, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient with the kids, and always knew where to go for the best sightings; watching thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River plus spotting lions, elephants and even a cheetah with her cubs was unforgettable. The whole trip felt safe, seamless and truly special for every member of our family, and we can’t wait to come back to explore more of Tanzania with Makisala Safaris!

Tremendous
I travelled from Italy to Tanzania with Makisala Safaris for a family adventure, and it exceeded all our expectations. We spent days tracking wildlife across the Serengeti, witnessing the dramatic Great Migration and spotting lions lounging under acacia trees, while evenings were spent sharing stories around the campfire under a sky full of stars. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made every moment exciting for both adults and kids, and the personalized touches throughout the trip made it feel truly special. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we’ll treasure forever!

Amazing
I travelled with my husband from Norway to Zanzibar for a relaxing getaway with Makisala Safaris, and it was absolutely unforgettable. We explored the winding streets of Stone Town, discovered fragrant spice farms, and spent our days on pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters. Our guide shared fascinating stories about local culture and history, making every experience richer and more memorable. From sunrise walks along the shore to romantic dinners under the stars, this trip was perfectly balanced between adventure and relaxation a true dream holiday!
