Perfect organization, from A to Z
We spent 8 days in Namibia. The program was very well prepared and our driver/guide was extremely competent. Nothing to add but thank you very much for this extraordinary trip !

Fantastic
It was fantastic. Ibrahim and Sam give all to let us see all the animals and feel very confortable. I did'nt spect so much. Price and quality is good. Perhaps first place where we sleep (Kimana tent in Amboseli) needs a little bit of maintenance, but was good enough. Comunication with Mr. Otieno was perfect, he explain everything and made a very good price. As soon as I can I want to do anothers safaris with Kenya Walfing Suvivors Safaris. Thanks to all theam.

A dream come true trip exceeding our expectations
All in all, I can say that our whole experience with Makasa Safaris was excellent. It started out with a brilliant service by Selma Kamm in the preparation of our trip - great and fast communication as well as fitting everything to our needs. In addition, they showed great knowledge of what they do. Not only recommending us lodges that fitted to what we needed but exceeding our expectations and on top of it we had an amazing tour guide, Humphrey. He has been able to answer every possible question we had and didn't follow the crowd of other Safari cars but instead knew the national parks and the animals behavior so well that we got to see everything within a few days - the big five, 2 cheetah hunting, the great migration, a leopard going on and off a tree, a lion hunting and bringing home the food to its babies and many more. Our guide really knew where to go and foresaw what will happen and how the animals would react while respecting them a lot. We have often also been the only ones to spot this or at least the first ones.
So, if you want to see a lot, have an excellent service with a tour guide who cares about nature and knows it's way around, Makasa will have to be your first address.
What an amazing experience!!!
Maka and Roy our tour guides were wonderful .... they showed us all the amazing animals in the Ruaha National Park, pointed out the different trees and foliage and answered all our questions. Thank you Masoko Tours for giving me an experience I will never forget!

Amazing individual trip to Uganda
I travelled for an 11 day trip to Uganda using Matoke tours. Lionel is who I worked with while planning and he was beyond helpful. Always kind and patient with my many questions and made sure all my needs were met. Always easy to deal with, payment options were very easy. I will definitely book with this tour company when I return.
- Cassia Lodge in Kampala is a great place. The food was fantastic and everything was always very clean. It is such a great location too with a great view of the city. Great choice.
- Marafiki Lodge. This was another amazing location. What an incredible view of Queen Elizabeth park from the lodge. Also amazing food, and such friendly staff. I really enjoyed my time here and could have stayed for weeks.
- Chameleon Hill. Also such an incredible place. I really loved the setup of the lodge. Amazing views of the lake at night, such friendly owners, and I like the way that had all guests eat together one night along with the guides. It made us all feel like a big family and I met many new friends. I would choose to stay here again when I return. Just one of the most gorgeous locations I have been on all my travels.
The chimpanzee tour was my favorite tour. It's amazing how close you can get to the animals. While the gorilla's were also amazing, it is so much thicker in the forest that it is hard to always see them. The chimps are so active and are in an open forest, and it made the tour so much fun. I will do this again for sure on my next trip.
My guide, David, was an incredible guide. We had great conversation and he knew so many places to stop and see that I never would have known about. Also, many times he pointed out animals and places to look for them that I would not have noticed. He was friendly, professional, and I feel like I made a friend for life as well. Could not have asked for more.
I will book with Matoke again. Could not have asked for a better experience for my first trip to Africa.

Amazing experience!!
A safari has always been top of my list to do, and this company gave me the best I could have ever imagined!! From contacting directly with Anne via email, sorting out the details etc, to spending 4 days with Joseph, our driver and guide! Everything was incredible. We seen every animal we could've hoped to see, and even seen a stand off between lions and hyenas! It was amazing! Joseph was brilliant from start to finish, he searched for all the animals and always gave us so much interesting information about the animals and the parks! Anyone thinking of doing a safari, I couldn't recommend this company anymore!!

Great time in the Victoria Falls area
We spent 5 days and 4 nights in Victoria Falls area with Hennie Becker. He was great in every way. We spent 2 nights in Zambia and 2 in Botswana and in particular saw a lot of animals in Botswana. There were no slip-ups, as Hennie had everything planned in advance and planned well. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip with Hennie.

For the Second Time in a Row, They Step up to the Plate and Provide a Great Experience
I have taken 2 larger groups (15+) on 4 day safari with Migada and they fulfill their obligation and more. The vehicles are quality, drivers are knowledgeable and the owner has taken us to lunch on the last day and shown us the Tanzanian hospitality that I have come to love in my 4 trips to Tanzania. They are reputable, trustworthy and will take care of you on your journey of a lifetime.

Awesome adventures with Ajabu
We spent ten days on safari perfectly organised by Anja and Gert who put together a fantastic itinerary for us to see the northern Tanzanian parks. Hard to pick out the highlights since each day gave us so many memorable moments. Tree-climbing lions in Manyara, migrating herds of wildebeest in the Serengeti, the awesome Ngorongoro crater, a night safari, an early morning balloon ride followed by breakfast, getting close up and personal with elephant families, watching the day-to-day fight for survival - you name it we saw it. 2500 kilometres in a great off road Land Rover (envied incidentally by many of the Land Cruiser drivers we met) driven by the inimitable Juma who could spot a leopard miles away up a tree at the same time as negotiating rough tracks and found us memorable picnic spots each day to eat our packed lunches, as well as remaining helpful, friendly and knowledgeable throughout what were often long and gruelling days of driving. Each lodge/camp we stayed overnight in brought new excitement, buffalo snuffling around in Kubukubu, elephant only yards away from our tent in Tarangire. Never a dull moment, it may well be our last safari as we are not as young as we were, but what a holiday to remember! Thank you Ajabu for making it possible.
