Makasa Tanzania Safaris Example itinerary Tanzania and Zanzibar

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 lifetime! Everything went like clockwork, from the pickup at Kilimanjaro Airport to catching the catamaran from Zanzibar. The accommodations, especially in the Serengeti, were all interesting and comfortable. Strongly recommend.

How about a sneak preview to get in the mood?

On Safari in Tanzania with a jeep through the Serengeti

Safari in Tanzania. Crossing the Serengeti in a private 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.

The most beautiful National Parks

In addition to the famous Serengeti National Park, Tanzania is home to several other amazing national parks. If you're going on safari, we recommend visiting a variety of these parks. With vast savannahs, the Big Five, and countless animals outside of the Big Five, there's so much to explore. Visit Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, or the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. This massive crater is the largest volcanic crater in the world, attracting many lions. During the annual migration, you'll also spot lions, cheetahs and leopards. Ready for a game drive?

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.

Kimbilio Serengeti Camp Accommodation Double tent

Sleeping among the lions

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 floors are made of wood and the interior design and particularly the beds are incredibly comfortable and romantic. 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. Two smaller islands are worth mentioning as well: Pemba and Mafia, each with their own, unique character.

We organize your entire trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar, completely tailored to your personal preferences.

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.

An amazing experience

We traveled to Tanzania this July with our family (2 adults and 2 teenage daughters) and had the trip of a life time. We saw so many animals - it was unbelievable!! Our time in Zanzibar was relaxing and beautiful.
