Best tour guide ever!!!
David was really lovely and professional. He communicated with us when he would arrive to come pick us up. We went as a group and were really excited, he gave us a brief overview of how the day will be including what to expect with the elephant sanctuary and the giraffe centre. He answered all our questions and was very patient with us. You can ask him any questions about any animal and he has an answer for you. We managed to see 4 out of the big 5 due to his sheer determination to spot the animals. We had the best time, he even dropped us off at Lavington Mall at the end of the experience. Thank you David for your professionalism and expertise! If we ever get the opportunity to go on another safari, we will book here again.

Major Treks & Safaris delivered an absolutely amazing experience.
My first safari experience, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better one!
I went to Tarangire National Park with Major Treks and Safaris, and it was such an unforgettable experience.
I had never been on safari before, so I didn’t really know what to expect, but from the moment we started the game drive, I was completely amazed.
Seeing the animals in their natural habitat was something I had only seen in pictures and documentaries before. We were lucky enough to see so many animals, including four of the Big Five.
Every time we spotted something new, I felt like a little kid again.
My guide Luis and driver Silva were a huge part of what made the experience so special. They were knowledgeable, patient, and made sure i didn’t miss the animals that were sometimes difficult to spot. I learned so much throughout the day while still having so much fun.
A big thank you to Major Treks and Safaris for making my very first safari such a beautiful and memorable experience. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone looking to experience a safari in Tanzania! ❤️

Benson was full of knowledge, very welcoming and kind, and really great at his job!
We had a fantastic safari with Ndutu Green Explorers. We did 3 nights and 4 days, covering the Serengeti Nat. park, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Benson, was not only super kind but he was very knowledgeable and told us so much about the animals and the areas we were covering. He was such a pleasure to spend these 4 days with! The accommodations we stayed at were all very comfortable with great food and hospitality. We saw the big 5 and many more, thanks to Benson. It was such a great price for the amount that we got to do/ see. We are so happy we booked our honeymoon with Ndutu Green explorers and would recommend to anyone !

Amazing
Amazing! It was very easy to talk to Axis to explain my doubts before the tour, via email and WhatsApp. The day the tour started, at the office everyone was very nice, they gave us T-shirt’s with the company logo for us to use at the safari.
We did 6 days Safari. (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) and choose the mid range/mid luxury, the hotels were amazing with good facilities and food.
Our tour driver,Tom, he was amazing! Our trip was 100% better because of him. He is a very knowledgeable man, very wise and very careful while driving. We felt very safe. He has a lot of knowledge about every single animal and he knows the parks very very well. He did everything in his power for us to have the best experience and he didn’t rest until we saw the Big Five!
I totally recomend Axis, specially Tom!

For the second time with Makasa and fantastic again!!!
For the second time with Makasa and fantastic again!!!
In 2024, together with my three teenagers, I took a wonderful two-week trip through Tanzania with Makasa. For my boys and me, that was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I have since been to Tanzania five times: that first special trip with my boys and the other four trips together with my partner.
During our most recent trip, my partner and I decided just two weeks before departure that we would actually like to go on a short safari. Because of my amazing experience in 2024, I immediately contacted Makasa again. Despite the high season and the short preparation time, they put together a fantastic 6-day, 5-night safari for us.
From Arusha, we first drove to Ol Doinyo Lengai and Lake Natron. The vast landscapes, Maasai villages, flamingos, and Lake Natron made a huge impression. The hike to the waterfalls with a Maasai guide was also absolutely worthwhile.
Afterwards, we drove via a beautiful northern route to the north of the Serengeti. We stayed two nights at Kimbilio Bologonja, a nice and small-scale camp, and then one night at Lobo, which was a bit more luxurious and in a beautiful location. Both accommodations were very welcoming, with incredibly friendly staff, delicious food, and comfortable safari tents. And after a long day on safari, a hot shower in the middle of the Serengeti was wonderful!
Our guide, Humphrey, made a very important contribution to this trip. A fantastic guide: professional, with immense knowledge of animals and nature, a great sense of humor, and above all, a wonderful positive energy. With him, we went in search of the famous Great Migration – and what an experience!
Despite the high season, Humphrey consistently managed to find routes where we hardly encountered any other jeeps. We regularly drove through the endless Serengeti with the feeling that we were completely alone. That true "Out of Africa" feeling was one of the most beautiful parts of this safari for us.
Organizationally, everything was also perfectly arranged from A to Z. When we were unable to arrange our flight from the Serengeti ourselves, Selma from Makasa acted incredibly fast and ensured it was arranged after all.
By now, we have visited many different national parks in Tanzania and gained experience with multiple organizations. That is precisely why I can say with conviction that Makasa was the best choice for us: personal, reliable, professional, and flexible.
After my fantastic experience in 2024, my expectations were high. The fact that Makasa has given us such a special trip again—and with just two weeks of preparation time during the high season—says it all.
Highly recommended. I can't wait to plan something wonderful in Tanzania with Makasa again in the future!!!

An unforgettable safari made even more special by Jonathan
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris, exploring Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide and driver, Jonathan.
Jonathan was genuinely one of the nicest people we could have hoped to have with us. He was incredibly sound, fun, friendly, helpful and patient throughout the whole trip. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he always went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable, happy and getting the most out of every day.
His knowledge of the wildlife and the parks was fantastic, and he was brilliant at spotting animals and knowing where to go. Whether we were exploring the incredible Ngorongoro Crater, looking for wildlife in Tarangire or enjoying the beautiful scenery around Lake Manyara, Jonathan made every day exciting and memorable.
What really stood out was how patient and relaxed he was. He never rushed us and was always happy to spend extra time watching animals, taking photos or simply enjoying the moment. He was also great company and kept us laughing throughout the trip, which made the long days in the vehicle so much more enjoyable.
Jonathan was not just a great guide and driver — he genuinely made us feel looked after and helped make the whole safari experience unforgettable.
We would 100% recommend Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris, and if you’re lucky enough to have Jonathan as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic trip!
Thank you, Jonathan, for an incredible experience and memories we’ll never forget! 🐘🦁🦒🌅
