We Booked a 3 Days to Uganda’s Murchison Falls National Park with Makali Safaris. We were amazed how fast the arrangements were and everything as planned were upto the dot. Our tour guide John was knowledgeable about everything. We made sure that we ask him as many questions as we can and we were answered so well. The hospitality of everyone from the Oscar in office to the people in the lodges and even the people along the way. I can not emphasize more than this how amazing the tour was. Thank you Makali Safaris
I went to Murchison Falls Safari with Makali Safaris in April and it truly was an unforgettable experience!
Our tour with Makali Safaris included several game drives inside the stunning park, which were absolutely amazing! Our guide, Franck, was incredibly friendly and made sure to show us a variety of wild animals. Despite not having the opportunity to see the lions, the experience was still incredibly enjoyable thanks to him.
During the boat cruise on the Nile, we encountered many hippos, a few crocodiles, and the breathtaking falls! I highly recommend the hike to reach the top of the falls, as it offers stunning landscapes.
A huge thank you to Fred and Oscar for organizing this incredible trip with Makali Safaris!
