Unforgettable dream trip

The safari in Tanzania 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 and very enthusiastic. Thanks Makasa for an unforgettable dream trip.

Review Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar holiday

Max Wright

Amazing Tanzania holiday

I’ve tried to rack my brain for any cons in this trip and by no fault of Makasa, the only one I can come up with is that we couldn’t stay longer. I without a doubt recommend Makasa and would book again with them in a heartbeat. Thank you for such an amazing Tanzania adventure!

Jessie Rian

Everything we hoped for

This safari was the trip of our lifetimes! Everything went like clockwork, from the pickup at Kilimanjaro Airport to catching the catamaran ferry from Zanzibar. The accommodations, especially in the Serengeti, were all interesting and comfortable. Strongly recommend.

A distant travel into the Great Unknown

If you are planning to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar, you know that it is nothing like a weekend in the country. It requires a lot more preparation and there are a few matters that require your attention. If you are not familiar with the country, you may have some questions or concerns.

How about a sneak preview to get in the mood?

Travel in a private 4x4 jeep

On safari in Tanzania. Depending on the composition of your group, you will travel in a Land Cruiser seating 5 to 7 people, driven by one of our experienced guides – heading for the world’s most famous wildlife parks such as Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and, of course, the Serengeti. You will feel as if you were stepping into the world of National Geographic. Your car is provided with a special interior with a roof that pops up, allowing you to stand up straight to film or take pictures. You will be amazed at the wildlife you will get to see here.

A visit to the Maasai tribe

In the Maasai Lodge, you will meet members of one of the most colourful and impressive tribes of Africa, the famous Maasai. You will stay the night in a boma (village) with a breathtaking view of the vast plains of the Maasai land. Take a nature walk with your children – or put them on a donkey for a thrilling ride. At night, you will dine on roasted goat by the fire – or enjoy another great dish, as you prefer. Once you are settled between the sheets in a comfortable Maasai hut, you can let your thoughts wander and dream about the amazing new world that is yours to share for a while.

Amazing wildlife

See the big five in their natural habitat with no boundaries or fences. On your safari you can follow the wildlife as they move between national parks and protected areas. See the animals exercise the freedom they deserve and experience authentic Africa – wild and vast.

Hot air balloon Serengeti

Imagine just hovering slowly over the Serengeti, seeing the sun come up and watching the wilderness come to life. With a small group, you will take a one-hour ride. After landing, you will be served a sumptuous, luxury breakfast at elegantly set tables in the middle of the scenic fields. Champagne has never tasted this good before.

Sleeping between the Great Migration

Safari nights tend to be a very special experience. Visitors usually spend at least a few of these nights in so-called tented camps. Other than that they have the heavy-duty canvas canopy in common, ordinary tents pale in comparison with these luxury glamping tents. The tents all have excellent private bathroom facilities. The biggest attraction, however, is the incomparable safari atmosphere. In the mornings, at breakfast, you can have great fun trying to imitate the animal sounds that you heard during the night. Guides are often very good at this. Now, was that a lion’s or a hyena’s cry?

Sun-soaked Zanzibar

Beautiful Zanzibar, with its unparalleled pearly white beaches leading to the azure Indian Ocean, can best be described as a small paradise on earth. It is without a doubt the most delightful place to relax after an exciting safari. Take a refreshing dive to wash off the desert dust! You can go skin-diving, swim with dolphins or take a boat tour in an authentic dhow. A visit to the capital is definitely worth your while. The picturesque Stone Town is the epitome of the romantic beauty of the island.

Tailor-made safari

Family-like treatment by the Makasa-staff. Enjoyed the special accommodations and had a very professional driver/guide. Many animals and great views. Also had a nice time before and after the safari in Moshi and on Zanzibar.
