Makini makes you feel at home.
When I was selecting the tour operator, Go Makini stood out as being very responsive, cohesive, and accommodating. Their prices were very competitive and they made me feel comfortable enough to put down a deposit. Our guide, Peter jorrojick was absolutely excellent! From the moment we stepped into vehicle - he made us feel at home and we were confident in his ability to keep us comfortable. He has a REMARKABLE eye, spotting countless animals so much that we were baffled at his ability to do so. He is a native to the land and we loved the information + history that he provided for us. His driving was great and he made sure that we were well rested and ensured we took necessary breaks at our own pace. I have to say Peter made our trip by successfully helping us locate the Big 5 (getting INCREDIBLY close to a black rhino) and for finding rare animals like hyenas on several occasions. This was the trip of a lifetime. Also, the honeymoon details they did for us were so sweet getting my wife a bouquet of roses and a custom safari vehicle decal. 2 thumbs up!

Amazing all inclusive safari!
Our safari trip to the Serengeti was truly unforgettable. Traveling as a group of seven friends, we were blown away by how seamless everything was—from the perfectly coordinated logistics to the warm, attentive service. The accommodations were comfortable, well-situated, and exceeded our expectations. We felt safe, cared for, and completely free to enjoy the magic of the landscape and wildlife. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to relax and fully take in the experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent and friendly
I did the 4-Day Masai Mara Lake Nakuru tour with Papa as a guide.
Everything was surreal from accommodation to safaris.
Papa has provided me the best games drive.

Friendly, lots of contacts and always looking for the best and safest view.
I did the 4-day Safari in the Masai Maara and Lake Nakuru. I saw all of the big 5 in a not so common way.
It was really great, highly recommend!!

Pushing the boundaries of Budget Safari
Babooon Budget Safari was the first to submit its quotation to us in response to our queries on safari in Kenya. From then on, Jemimah continued to accompany us. She was excellent in providing relevant information and solving problems (such as challenges in paying advance from Bangladesh over credit card). The safari accommodations, within the budget, were very good - always close to safari sights and warm with friendly staff. My wife and I always felt safe and relaxed. The safari vehicles (Jeeps) are eight-seaters - so it's important to negotiate with fellow passengers to rotate seating positions (a middle seat at the last row has numerous challenges). The drivers were experienced and responsible in meeting our needs. However, it's important to workout a communication with the driver, so that he may stop the car to let you observe and take photos of your preferred residents of Savannah :)

Saddam, the guide, was very friendly. He did all efforts for the group to feel satisfied.
We chose two nights (three day) trip.
The guide and driver was always on time
First day was tiring but adrenaline peak showing the animals and heart felt nature fixed the mood
Second day was more charming and cozy, eating lunch under tree, getting chance to meet new people and later at the camp evening was unique experience
Only at the budget camp, were not informed before that power is not in all rooms, and it goes off at 2000
Water for shower was also challenging
Overall, if you are in group and staying one or two nights it does not affect the experience
