A good day out - Irene messaged me before we got off the ship to say her and our driver were waiting for us at the port gate. We were around 45 mins late disembarking and then had to take the ships shuttle to gate 2 where they were waiting for us as promised. The vehicle was comfortable and well air conditioned and water was provided. Irene's English was very good so we had no problem in understanding her. The highlight of the day was the fish market - buzzing with people. We walked along the beach and spent time watching the colourful locals making their purchases from the boats that kept arriving. We were taken to the Lutheran church where we climbed the clock tower for lovely views. Then we went for a drive through the chaotic but fascinating city - although sadly we could not stop as it would not have been safe to do so and windows had to be kept up to keep our cameras/phones safe. After a visit to the Mwenge carvers market (which was seriously expensive - they started off at 50 dollars for 2 magnets!!), we drove to a beachside bar to have a drink. Finally we visited a very pretty local cove. Thanks for a great day to you both and Irene, Nakupenda - I remembered it at last!!!

Plus was an awesome tour... - Plus was an awesome tour guide. Showed us everything on the itinerary we picked. One helpful hint for future travelers is to get in touch with them early to help customize what you want to see. It’s hard to decide on the first time what to see but Pius made it enjoyable nonetheless. He even helped with buying ferry tickets for the day after. Showed they really cared about having a comfortable journey/stay in Dar

An amazing day tour in Dar Es salaam. - We had a wonderful day tour in Dar es Salaam and we couldn’t have asked for a better team! Our guides, Gabriel and Jacquline, were absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable, friendly, and full of positive energy. They made the city come alive with their stories, history, and local insights, and were always happy to answer questions and make sure we had the best experience. Our driver, Eli, was excellent as well, safe, reliable, and patient throughout the day. The whole team worked seamlessly together, and we felt very well taken care of from start to finish. The tour was well-organized, fun, and gave us a true taste of Dar es Salaam’s culture and charm. We highly recommend this tour company, especially if you get the chance to be guided by Gabriel and Jacquline with Eli behind the wheel. They turned our day into an unforgettable experience!

The Trip Excursion with Makala Travels Exceeded my Expectations! - Salute to Gabriel and his wonderful tour team! I escorted a sizable group to visit both the mainland of Tanzania and Zanzibar Island. Our experience there in East Africa could not be more better than coordinating a customed itinerary that he worked on with me. He demonstrated the ability to make sure no one was disappointed at every turn; often asking me if he suited everyone's need each day. Team work makes the dream works with Gabriel. Please consider his exemplary tour services.
