This was a trip of a lifetime saved by Shadracks' flexibility
The itinerary and hotel selections were terrific. Could have done without the train ride from Nairobi and there was a lot of driving but once we got to our destinations it was worth it.

A True Safari Experience
We took a private family tour carefully planned by our journey designer Luis G. where he's taken into account all our requests and exceptions. He's been pivotal in designing the right route, what to see, what to expect for a family of safari seekers at the "elementary" level. This is quite critical since what you see is assessed by what you expected in the first place. Moreover, if you are not part of a standard tour, be it a private or a group tour, chances are you'd be forgotten and ignored. However that was not the case for us...thanks to Luis G.
I strongly recommend for anyone who wishes a "boutique" safari experience to have a word with Luis prior to doing anything upfront.
He is the "one"...

We did a 7 day safari - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. All visited parks were different enough not to get bored. We liked our accomodation except one hotel that had some issues. Our driver was cheerful, helpful and patient. He made our safari so much better. Greetings Kikitu!

We took an Animal Day tour and enjoyed it a lot! The guide Maciej from Poland was very helpful and provided us a lot of interesting information about the animals and the life in Lapland overall. I definitely recommend the tour!

Excellent experience!
We had a 4 day safari and visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara. Horace our guide was very nice, knowledgeable, tried to answer any of our questions and was a very good driver. We were able to observe so many animals up close that we could not leave wondering. The accommodations Hhando Coffee Lodge and Serengeti Heritage Luxury Camp were very comfortable.
Many thanks to Maureen and especially to Horace for a wonderful time.

Snow Leopards in Ladakh and Tigers in Raipur India
Rose put together a wildlife trip for us seeing Snow Leopards in Ladakh and Tigers in Raipur India. The entire trip was absolutely amazing, filled with both nature and culture. We were a little afraid of how cold the Himalayas were going to be but found the the lodging was quite warm and activities were always accompanied by warm tea. During our trip we saw a snow leopard with her two cubs for a four hour period, it was really incredible and thrilling. We then went to Kanha National Park were we saw a tigress with her three cubs, another beautiful and exhilarating experience. Everywhere we went, Rose provided us with the best guides to help us learn about the environment, wildlife and culture fo the area. This is the second trip we've taken with her and have found that each trip we walk away with not just an exhilarating wildlife experience but also with a better understanding of the area we've visited. Looking forward to our next adventure!

Our time in Rwanda trekking to the mountain gorillas and golden monkeys was absolutely amazing.
Our time in Rwanda was perfect from the moment we met Jean Marie at the airport upon arrival until he left us at the airport on our departure. My daughter and I fell in love with Rwanda and its beautiful people. Jean Marie was wonderful, such a kind and caring person. He is the perfect ambassador for Rwanda. Our time with the the gorillas was breathtaking. Everything was so organized. It is an experience we will always cherish. The tour exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed seeing some of Rwanda in the afternoons after our morning treks. We also enjoyed our visit with the golden monkeys. It was a fun way to end our visit. We highly recommend Makario Safaris. You provided my daughter and I with a vacation we will remember forever. Thank you!
