Super great to work with and helped us when we had trouble with travel!
So great!! When our flight was canceled on us last minute the company worked with us throughout the night with our rebooking. We were scheduled to arrive during the day but didn't end up making it until the middle of the night. The tour guide still was able to pick us up at 1:00 am, they found us a hotel to sleep in for a couple of hours, picked us back up at 430 am and then still got us to our Gorilla Trekking experience that morning on time.

professional, well organized, kind
I didn't have a lot of time for a trip, so I worked with Makario to create a customized itinerary to see the chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys. Alice was excellent and very diligent at preparing an itinerary that met my criterion. Levis, my driver, was always on-time, professional, and had impeccable driving skills. Everything went off without a hitch; the food was amazing, and the service was excellent. Can't wait to come back some day and see how much conservation progress will have been made!

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari in Nyungwe & Virunga with Makario Safaris
Makario Safaris & Our Amazing Guide, Levis
A huge thanks to Makario Safaris for their flawless organization. Every detail, from permits to accommodations, was handled with professionalism. Our driver-guide, Levis, was exceptional—his knowledge of wildlife, patience, and sense of humor made the trip even more enjoyable. His safe driving and insightful commentary enriched our experience, ensuring we got the most out of every destination.

Fantastic experience - tour operator and guides were exceptional
I have only great things to say about Godfrey and his team. Not only were they extremely responsive
to any and all inquires and concerns, we were extremely well taken care of both on and off the mountain.
Seeing the gorillas was the trip of a lifetime and Makario made the trip seamless and fun.
Joe and Godfrey were wonderful and informative guides/hosts to Rwanda, introducing us to not only the
wildlife but the people. Five star tour!!

Very attentive ensuring an excellent experience
From the very first interaction with Godfrey, every detail was thoroughly covered. He graciously answered multiple questions throughout our booking and adventure experience. We arrived fully prepared and were never disappointed. Gorilla trekking and golden monkey trekking were life changing, fun and very safe. Our accommodations were top notch as was the service and food at our lodges. Highly recommend using Makario for your Rwanda adventure. You will not be disappointed!

Great Company - good communication, knowledgable and just plain fun!
I would definitely recommend Makario Safaris! Godfrey planned everything perfectly for our group. The accommodations he made for us were outstanding. We stayed at the Tiloreza Volcanoes Ecolodge which was a short drive to Volcanoes National Park. The food was fabulous too!
During our drives around Kigali and to our hotel, we were educated and entertained with so many stories about Rwanda and the people. If you are looking for a truly wonderful experience - you can't go wrong with Makario Safaris!

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!
Very personal service
A wonderful point to point experience with an amazing driver/guide
Lunch was a bit basic but it was delicious
Thank you

Godfrey worked very hard to show us as much as possible in Akagera within a very tight time frame.
I had exceptional service from the start which includes Mwaka Utanje who was very responsive and patient with a slow international wire transfer payment. Godfrey picked us up punctually at KCC at 5 am (he was there early) and was a great timekeeper the whole day, but did not have much of a chance to share his knowledge of the animals with us. We had stops for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast was delicious even if slightly slower than expected because we all wanted to enjoy a Rwandan coffee! Safari in Akagera was exceptional. We saw far more than I expected, but it felt a little rushed. We were covering so much territory in one day it was only when the pride of lions surrounded us (!) that we took time to sit and watch the animals for a good long time. Lake Ihema boat safari with Innocent was also very memorable. Car was in good condition and Godfrey drove very well on unexpectedly congested roads back into Kigali. I recommend Makario Safaris!
