A quality tour, but room for improvement
Maraka Tours and Safaris gave us a great time in Uganda. However, they lacked strong communication and preparedness at times. For example, important documents were often misplaced which delayed our travels, we had multiple vehicle issues, some preventable, and we were often arriving very late to our lodges. While no African Safari is without issues, some issues we had on our trip were completely preventable and this is what left us feeling frustrated at times. It is my hope and wish that Maraka will continue to improve their service in order to better demonstrate preparedness to all future clients.
While I still recommend Maraka, I encourage all future guests to understand there will likely be hiccups and to make sure you understand the full itinerary and the very long drives. I hope Maraka can continue to improve as they grow and help make future safaris even better!
I will also say that the staff at Maraka are excellent and very kind. While we did have the issues, they were always trying to work through them. Again, as they grow I hope they will straighten out some things to help make their tours run smoother.

These guys are the best to travel with. Experience Safari on another level.
Picked me up from my house and dropped me off there as well. The whole experience was excellent, They booked us in one of the best Hotel in the Masai Mara. (Jambo Mara) Everything indicated in the package was included. The game drive in the Mara is a worthwhile adventure. I highly recommend them, they are experts in what they do. Book with them for your next trip without any kind of doubt

The most wonderful safari in Tanzania
The whole safari was perfectly organized and the communication was quite effective, fast and this company's coordination is quite commendable.
The Game Drive was amazing. We saw a lot of animals and different beautiful landscapes. Our guide was really friendly and understanding not to mention his knowledge, he really made the 5 day safari worth every shilling we spent. Above all he made us feel really comfortable,he also told us a lot of interesting facts about the animals, landscapes and Tanzania in general. Everyday was a greater experience than the previous day! We hope to return to Tanzania and work with this tour operator again.
Our nights were wonderful and we felt welcome there from the first second we arrived, the location was also amazing. It was the perfect place! On the last day our driver got us safely back to the airport. It was a perfect safari.
Along side the trip review i would like to acknowledge all the staff that made this tour a success! Thank you so much African Savannah for the amazing time.

Mohamed was absolutely amazing and made sure that we had a wonderful experience
The most amazing thing about the trip was that we got see the big four wild animals. Mohamed was very informative about the animals and the service was amazing. I won't forget about the food during the trip it was so delicious and it felt like I was in a hotel and not a campsite. If I was to do the trip again I will definitely do it with Telly safaris. I Highly recommend them. Also very professional

Knowledgeable, responsive, prepared tour company! Would choose again!
I reached out to John to discuss several itineraries for Mount Kenya. He was always extremely responsive and willing to provide more information and answer my questions. Working with him to arrange the trip was seamless, even as we added more trekkers to the group a few weeks before the hike. They were extremely accommodating to our group with people coming from Nairobi and Nanyuki.
We selected a 4 day Mount Kenya trek up the Sirimon route and down Chogoria. The inital plan was to stay in huts, but at my request, John and his team quickly set up a trip where we could camp and see Lake Ellis. The guides and porters were absolutely phenomenal! They were encouraging, supportive, and provided us with everything we needed to make it to Point Lenana! The food was amazing as well. I have zero complaints and would highly recommend Keshi Tours to anyone!

Amazing!!!
Wonderful trip to Tanzania with excellent organization and very professional Guides
We booked our trip Tanzania with Taste of Afrika Safaris the tour of 11 days. Taste of Afrika
designed a wonderful trip with private guide and porters for hiking Mount Kilimanjaro and
mid rage tour to the most famous National Parks in Tanzania. The organization of the whole
trip was excellent, airport transfers to and from the hotel, accommodation and activities. The
guides and porters were very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the countries, their
history, people, economy and much more. We did 6 days hiking Mount Kilimanjaro and 5
days safari tour, we had a chance to see the Black Rhino in Ngorongoro Crater and it was a
really amazing! We had tremendous further game drives in Tarangire park, Serengeti park,
Lake Manyara and we saw very many animals, really, we did the Big Five trip. We had much
more activities than planned and enjoyed very much.
Our request of the accommodation throughout the hiking and safari in different parks were
fully arranged and booked according to our wishes, we stayed in mid-range budgeted lodges
and tented camps. We had clean rooms, nice foods and friendly staff in all places we spent
except in one lodge in Tarangire during the dinner our chef forgot that one of us was
vegeterian but was not a big deal because we got special vegeterian meal for my Dad .
Taste of Afrika Safaris helped us to get PCR test in Serengeti National Park, Moses our Guide
drove us in the morning hours after our sunrise game drive to the PCR testing Center in
Seronera in Serengeti National Park. Seka and Charles from the office communicated the whole
time with us so we felt very safe. We strongly recommend taste of afrika to everyone planning
your trip to Tanzania.
