like minded women

Dear adventurous sisters,

Fifteen years ago, I followed my heart to Tanzania for love. Since then, I've built my business here with my husband, creating Makasa Safaris, organizing safari holidays, while also raising our three children in this beautiful land. Our multicultural family keeps me alive, constantly inspired by the diversity and richness of Tanzanian culture.

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend a business course led by Tony Robbins. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals was invigorating. Have you ever experienced the energy buzzing with shared ambition and creativity? This experience sparked an idea that I'm thrilled to share with you.

I am introducing the Women's Safari Retreat, an extraordinary fusion of business empowerment, networking, strategic planning, and thrilling adventure, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tanzania's landscapes. Let's embark on this adventure together!

Amazing Tanzania, trip of a lifetime

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!

Kickstart and connection

Embark on a transformative journey during the first two days of our Women's Safari Retreat. Upon arrival in Tanzania, we will immerse ourselves in introductions and getting to know each other, setting the stage for meaningful connections. The days will begin with energizing network sessions, where we'll brainstorm, share insights, and introduce our businesses. Together, we'll set inspiring goals for the week ahead. As the sun begins to set, we'll enjoy a serene horse riding activity, perfect for beginners, allowing us to unwind and connect with nature in this spectacular setting.

Exploring nature & yoga with the Maasai community

Over the next two days, we will immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture of the Maasai Community. At the Maasai Lodge, you'll meet the colorful and awe-inspiring members of this famous African tribe. Spend the night in a traditional boma (village), overlooking the expansive Maasai plains. Our days will be filled with enriching experiences, from nature walks where we'll learn about the Maasai's use of natural remedies to invigorating yoga and meditation sessions. We'll also continue our journey towards our goals for the week. As night falls, enjoy a dinner of roasted goat by the crackling fire, or choose from a selection of delicious dishes. Nestled in a comfortable Maasai hut, let your mind wander and dream about the incredible new world awaiting you.

Serengeti safari adventure

In the final days of our retreat, we embark on an unforgettable safari adventure in the renowned Serengeti. No trip to Tanzania is complete without experiencing the wonders of this wildlife paradise. Journeying in a Land Cruiser, we'll head towards the world-famous Serengeti, home to the iconic Great Migration. As we traverse the vast plains, it will feel like we're stepping into the pages of National Geographic. Our Land Cruiser is equipped with a special interior, complete with a pop-up roof, allowing us to stand tall for filming and capturing breathtaking photos. Prepare to be amazed by the diversity of wildlife we encounter. For a truly unforgettable experience, we'll take to the skies in a hot air balloon, offering a bird's eye view of this magnificent landscape. As the day comes to a close, we'll enjoy sundowners in the heart of the Serengeti, savoring the beauty of the sunset. Our time together concludes with a reflective journaling session amidst the serene and natural surroundings, allowing us to capture the essence of this incredible journey.

Luxurious accommodations

Your Women's Safari Retreat experience begins in style at a luxurious hotel, setting the tone for an unforgettable adventure. After that we'll immerse ourselves in the unique concept of Amini Maasai Lodge, a cultural gem in Tanzania. Here, you'll stay in a traditional boma (village) with breathtaking views of the Maasai land. The grand finale of our retreat takes us to the heart of Serengeti Park, where we'll spend three nights in a luxurious tented camp, embracing the essence of glamping. Each accommodation offers extreme comfort with ensuite bathroom facilities, ensuring you have the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Choose your preferred sleeping arrangement: indulge in shared accommodation (two people per room) for a vibrant social experience, or opt for a private room for added privacy and tranquility at an extra cost. Whatever you choose, rest assured, your comfort is our priority.
