I worked on client safari with Makario Safaris
5/5

Makario Safaris is relatively new in the safari business, we found the staff are very knowledgable and helpful. Their experience, knowledge and diligence are visible from their near-perfect customer services to the advice they render to our clients. I strongly recommend Makario safari for Rwanda safaris.

Makario provided First Class Service, even surpassing my expectations!
5/5

Let me start by saying that Makario Safaris contact person, M/S Mwaka , was very helpful and provided service beyond expectations.
Any emails, calls and messages were responded to timeously, without delay, and the responses were relevant to my queries. Any time I was told that they would revert, this would happen in a timeous way.
Makario are very knowledgeable in the offerings in Rwanda, the Great Lakes region as well as East Africa.They will make you feel "at home", away from home.
Our holiday was fantastic, memorable and well coordinated and I will not hesitate to recommend anyone travelling to Rwanda and the Great Lakes region to use Makario Safaris for their bookings and travel.

Makario Safaris provided us a warm, thoughtful, safe extraordinary experience.
5/5

Makario Safaris provided us an itinerary and an experience that was thoughtful for our group of 5 and it exceeded our expectations. We were greeted from the start and ushered through our itinerary with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our driver,Peter, was very personable and a perfect host. He gave us information about the country, kindly kept us on schedule and helped us find certain unscheduled shopping places for first aid supplies etc. We all became quite attached to him. The hotels we stayed in (Serena Hotel in Kigali and Virunga Lodge) were perfect and wonderful and we had smooth and fascinating treks to the Mountain Gorillas and the Golden Monkeys. I would love to do it all over again and I would not hesitate to use Makario Safaris again.

Great and unique experience
4/5

Incredible and unforgettable experience. However, there were some moments in which our presence was too invasive. The workers cut large branches on several occasions so that we could see the gorillas that were hiding behind them, even though we told them it was not necessary.
When the tourist is put first instead of the wild animal, these types of excursions lose their essence of being something wild and natural. More and more people prefer and value tourism that respects wildlife. Despite all this, being able to observe them so closely and literally communicate with them was something I will never forget.

Overall we are happy enough to recommend Makario Safari
4/5

Mwaka from Makario Safari was in charge of our booking. She is responsive and helpful. The experience will have been a solid 5 rating hadn’t we felt pressured by time and the way the driver drove us back from the tour. It was traffic plus he sent us to collect our luggages from the airport (as they were delayed by 60 hours since we last saw our baggage), it was taking longer than expected and I can understand that he was bit agitated by the situation. To be fair, we also would like everything smooth and not wasting our time had it was a choice that we could make.

Makario Safaris does go a long way to make your safari a success
4/5

We went to Akagera National Park in Rwanda from Kigali. A one-day trip. Communication was very timely and clear. Starting at 5:00 am on a quite Sunday morning, the trip to Akagera was already an experience. Along the way we had breakfast and coffee. The Landrover was comfortable, and the driver very skilled and diligent. We drove all the way from South to North of the Park, having an excellent lunch in between. In the morning we had a boat trip and already saw a lot of animals and birds, but late afternoon arriving in the North of the Park we also saw the elephant herd and the magnificent plane with an abundance of animals. We can surely recommend the tour.
