Right from the very start of planning Makasa seemed the obvious choice for us, the communication was fast and easy. They listened and gave us amazing ideas and information.
The whole tour went seamlessly everything they arranged worked out perfectly accommodations were all wonderful ,transport arrangements around Tanzania was arranged and was excellent.
During the trip, makasa was there to help us when we needed to change the itinerary. At all points we felt well looked after and in excellent hands
Good value for money , we came home with no complaints at all only rave reviews.
Thanks Makasa for the best vacation .

Kathi was absolutely amazing! So helpful, responsive, and tailored our honeymoon perfectly!
Kathi was absolutely amazing to work with! From the beginning she was super helpful, gave us great guidance and advice since it was our first time going on safari, and was super flexible to make sure the trip was exactly what we wanted! Shortly before our trip there was a fire at one location we were scheduled to stay at and within hours Kathi had put together a backup plan, done all communication between the transportation and accommodation agencies and ensured our trip remain completely seamless. Every detail was taken care of from the minute we landed: every transport, accommodation, activities, spa treatments, etc so we truly only had to relax and enjoy once we were there! We have recommended her to all our friends and family and I cannot wait to book another vacation through Kathi!

My husband and I did a 6 day Safari to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tangire. We booked our Safari with Winnie.
The safari was well organised in advance, and despite the political unrest, we felt we were in good hands with Winnie. She took good care of us.
Our guide James took care of us and we got the possibility to see so much animals. It was a great experience! We also had a very nice chef for cooking! The food was excellent. I highly recommend this company for booking!

The whole team is amazing, Issa was so helpful by planning everything for us and then our guide Tarimo was excellent, we definitely would come back! The hotels were also amazing and the food was also really good.
Congratulations to the whole team! You are doing it great!

Wayne super flexible and responsive
My sister and her husband first went on a trip with Wayne, and she told me that her accommodations were lacking (the 1st did not have a working A/C; once moved, the 2nd had a poor draining shower, which she did not report). When I mentioned this to Wayne, he gave me a free upgrade to newer suites (I also went on a trip with his company)
When there, we decided to come back one day early (my partner needed to do stuff back in Pretoria), and Wayne was super flexible and arranged transport back without any issue
Lastly, on the way back, instead of driving all the way to the airport for the other travelers in the van, the shuttle service dropped us off in Pretoria first (saving at least 90 minutes of travel time). Thanks Wayne for your understanding!

Kenya\Tanzania - 10 day Safari with Wildbud and African Savannah
A group of 6 friends had the most wonderful adventure and experience with the above companies. It was absolutely seamless with our exchange of drivers at the Tanzania land border. Eli from African Savannah was there helping with immigration, had a boxed lunch for us and made sure our Hot Air Balloon tickets were confirmed. We were looked after from the flight landing in Nairobi to boarding our flight to Zanzibar. Leah from Wildbud and Philomena from African Savannah were absolutely fantastic. We were so well looked after. Thank you.

Highly recommend - great communication and overall service
I booked a three-day safari with Keshi Tours through this website a month in advance, as I was traveling alone. Since then, I have had great and frequent communication with the representative Eva Githaka, whom I must thank for the great service. She tried to arrange the best for me according to my wishes, within my limited budget - great and very helpful communication.
The safari itself met my expectations in every way and the guide Boniface was very nice, friendly and did everything to my complete satisfaction, to see as many animals as possible from as close as possible - especially lions. Thank you very much for the experience of a lifetime.

SEAMLESS!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Safari Experience!
My husband Adi and I have just returned from a truly fantastic safari with Safari Soles, and everything was absolutely seamless from start to finish.
We arrived into Nairobi and were picked up and driven into Tanzania to begin our 6-day safari with our wonderful guide, Dickson. The food was fantastic, the accommodation superb, and we were lucky enough to see all the amazing animals — we ticked them all off our list! Dickson was excellent at positioning us for the best views and photo opportunities.
Communication both before and during the trip was outstanding, and we felt completely taken care of throughout. We also added on the Balloon Safari, Night Drive, and Masai Village visit — all of which were well worth doing and added even more magic to an already incredible experience.
An exceptional trip from start to finish — highly recommended!

Superb safari destinations, seamless organization!
A Dream Come True
We recently returned from an amazing Safari in Kenya that was organized by Rose Hipwood and her team at the Luxury Safari Company.
This was our first safari and our first visit to Equatorial Africa.
When we were planning our trip, we searched the internet for information on Safari companies…Rose’s website stood out as being well prepared and informative. We decided to contact her whereupon she organized a video conference call with us. During that call, Rose homed in on the wildlife we hoped to see and experiences we were seeking. From there Rose curated our dream vacation.
From the moment we arrived in Nairobi we were keenly aware that having Rose’s knowledge and connections were priceless; as we had been advised, the airport in Nairobi is a bit chaotic. As promised, we were met immediately, assisted in getting our luggage, being delivered to our driver who then took us to our first destination, the beautiful Hemingways Hotel. That same driver picked us up the next morning and thankfully ensured that we were checked in at the Wilson Airport, the hub for safari destinations.
In order to accommodate our wildlife wish list, Rose had arranged for us to visit three different locations: Ol Donyo Lodge in the Chyulu Hills, Saruni Samburu (now called Saruni Basecamp) near the Rift Valley, and Rekero Camp in the Masai Mara. This combination provided us with the opportunity to see vastly different terrains, elephants, lots of beautiful elephants, two types of giraffes, two types of zebras, two types of gazelles, wildebeest, cheetahs, lions and lionesses that got so close you could pet them, hippos, crocodiles, the elusive serval cat, a leopard and birds of every feather; the list goes on!
Each of the camps was stunning in its own unique way, yet they all provided us with exceptional wildlife viewing experiences, outstanding guides, fabulous food, and incredibly caring and attentive managers and staff.
Rose suggested that we end our adventure at “Alfajiri”, a beautiful property near Diani Beach on the Indian Ocean just south of the Equator. Our villa, the host and staff were all fabulous! It was a wonderful place to relax and rejuvenate, another exceptional experience!
Rose and her team at the Luxury Safari Company organized our vacation with seamless precision. They arranged for the best accommodations and service providers in the business, thereby ensuring that we were safely delivered to every airport, camp, and villa. We were assisted with all of our needs, even an unexpected one for medication. All we had to do was wake up and wait to see what nature wanted to share with us.

Rupia Adventure was reliable, responsive, and made sure to organize a fantastic trip.
We loved our 5 night, 6 day safari with Rupia Adventure. Matt was reliable and always responded quickly. We were able to see all of the sights and animals that we wanted, and enjoyed the food too. I would book with Rupia Adventure again.
