A different way to book Tanzania

Most safaris are good. A few are extraordinary. The difference is almost always the guide.

Booking with a large UK operator means paying a premium for slick brochures and central London overheads. Booking directly with a Tanzanian operator saves money but trades away protection and accountability.

Makoma sits in between. A single ground team of twenty-two years' standing on the northern circuit, and a UK-registered tour operator handling your planning, payment protection and support from first enquiry to the day you fly home.


One guide, your vehicle

A private 4x4 Land Cruiser and the same guide for the whole trip. No group to wait for and no schedule to keep, so when a sighting is worth staying for, you stay.

Planned first-hand

Every Makoma itinerary is planned by someone who has driven these roads and stayed in these camps. Twenty years of travelling Africa sits behind the plan you receive.

Guided by Serengeti Wilderness Calls

Most safaris are good. A few are extraordinary. The difference is almost always the guide.

Makoma Serengeti Guiding

Your safari is run on the ground by Serengeti Wilderness Calls, an Arusha operator with twenty-two years on the northern circuit. Their reviews on TripAdvisor and SafariBookings are five stars across the board, earned over two decades in the field.

They own the vehicles, employ the team, and lead every Makoma safari themselves. We do not hand you off to whoever is available that week.

Your booking is protected

Makoma Expeditions is a UK-registered tour operator. Your payments are held in a trust account with Protected Trust Services under the Package Travel Regulations 2018, and we are PTS member 6525.
