We were so lucky to find Makumi holidays!

Thank you very much for this amazing experience! Very grateful to our gides Method and Shani and driver Freddy. They took such a great care of us for these 3 days. It was so comfortable, interesting and unforgettable! Everything was great: the ride, searching for animals in Makumi park, accommodation and food. Still can’t believe how lucky we were. Thank you again!
