Professionally, friendly and well organized
In January we went to the holiday fair in Amsterdam.
We visited several stands specialized in Africa safaris
At the Makasa stand we had a click, it felt good.
Selma explained to us what the possibilities were.
We told her what we wanted to see and do and what our budged was.
Makasa organized a 9-days safari in tented lodges and 7-days at the beach resort Dream of Zanzibar.
October 30 we left and everything was perfectly arranged.
Upon arrival in Kilimanjaro airport, a Makasa employee was waiting for us, and brought us to our hotel in Moshi.
The next morning Selma, Ngomi and our guide/driver Humphrey came to the hotel to welcome us and to give us the last details. And of we went.
The safari was great, especially thanks to Humphrey, he was not only a good driver, he was a guide with a lot of knowledge about the animals and he spoke perfect English. He was an entertainer, quiz master, butler and very enthusiastic, if he saw a cheetah or a leopard he became even crazier than we were. We have not only seen the big 5 but also so many other animals.
We wanted to see the migration of the animals, but due to the climate change the animals were still in the north. No problem for Mr. Humphrey, then we just drove to the north. We are eternally grateful to him for this, what a spectacle. Breathtakingly beautiful, not to describe with words, you have to experience this. Not only by seeing it, but by feeling it, smelling it, hearing it, tasting it.
After this beautiful experience it was time to go to Zanzibar. We stayed in the beautiful resort Dream of Zanzibar, here we enjoyed the nice weather and beautiful beach.
Thanks Makasa for an unforgettable dream trip.

Unbelievable Experience
My friend and I were looking to book a last minute safari. After looking at various trips we finally decided to do a 4 day Lake Nakuru/Maasai Mara tour. It was the best decision we could have made. We decided to use the 4x4 instead of the van - another great decision. Even though it cost more it was well worth it. It was very comfortable traveling over dirt and rock roads and it got us into areas the van would not have been able to go. Although they cannot guarantee animal sightings our guide Surat Nur was unbelievable. I think he showed us every possible animal that lives on this reserve. The highlight was driving for an hour just in time to catch a leopard coming down from a tree and walking right in front of our jeep. Not only were the tours fantastic, the accommodations were also amazing. We stayed at the Ziwa Bush Lodge and the Ilkeliani camp. Both places were beyond our expectations. The staff at both were helpful and friendly and the food was excellent. They treated us like royalty. Chris was fantastic in making the arrangements and went out of his way to make our trip the best ever. I cannot recommend this highly enough!!!

Good itinerary, affordable price, friendly guides
Communicated and booked via email. Paid for the safari and gorilla trekking by credit card. Communication from the team was good, but could be better instead of having us ping them to get greater details - they need to be more proactive (i had to remind them to send me final itinerary and all when the final payment was due for example - makes you a bit nervous when you are booking via email with an agency in a totally different country). Guides are excellent and friendly. We had Moses for the Gorilla trip (via their sister company in Uganda) and Denis for the Kenyan safaris. Both were great, knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Still giving 5 stars because they delivered the services as agreed and price is good value.

Quick and flexible organization and excellent guide
Communication with the manager Alex was quick and pleasant. He irgsnized our private safari in a very efficient and professional manner. The guide Allen had incredible sharp eyes to spot lots of animals so we could see the big five and much more then we had hoped for (as animals move freely and nothing is guaranteed). In addition, Allen gave us a lot of information, answered every question, was fun to be with and also showed his intercultural intelligence and sensitivity.
We had the best time and enjoyed it so much! Thank you!

Zambia Camping Tour (west to east)
This is really an amazing camping safari tour! Everything was perfect. We saw a lot of animals and different landscapes and we had some really nice sundowners with savanna. The campsites and lodges are beautiful and the owner and guide (Joe) has a great experience in all relates themes. And he offered the best dinner I’ve every tasted. The tour was very well equipped and the Landy is tough. If you love Africa, I can only recommend this tour.
