The right city tour - I had a great time with these gentlemen. I got to see various parts of the city from a locals perspective. The lunch was a very authentic, local experience which I preferred.

Thank you for our best day! - In may 2024 me and my boyfriend spend one day with Makala Travels and had one of our best days in our life. Two very kindly persons pick up us in our hotel and we drive to Mnemba Island. All the day we had so much fun and could saw so many beautiful things on Zanzibar. Makala Travels make our day so so beautiful and unforgettable and we are very thankful for that. We are thankful to know the two of your stuff because they was so good people with a big heart and we promised.. we come back again! Thank you for everything!!! Lovely greetings from Melli & Sven

Must do in DES - I had an amazing day with Irene as a guide, learned a lot about the culture and even ended up speaking some Swahili by the end of the tour. The tour is a great option if you want to check out the city during a short stopover.

1950s to 2020s return of the Jedi (aka Jadiya) - Daressalam a wonderful city very free spirited people .The driver and the guide created a very friendly joyful environment. We were very relaxed. I was born there and can see the difference has become a very busy place. The driver and the guide were exceptionally kind to take us around to the places we had requested, temples school place to eat and it was no trouble to them driving us around in heavy traffic. Their smiling faces will always stay with us. Taking and showing us Oysterbay was a cherry on top of the cake. Could not believe it's progressed so much.The guide took extra time to walk us around. He gave us lovely experience to savour life time and we are endebted to you for giving such a good memorable service. You are really doing a great job to give such a safe comfortable tour keeping travelers in mind.My heartfelt big thank you.

The tour guides name was... - The tour guides name was Ben and if you do this tour - request him. He is very smart, professional, personable, easy going and very informative. He is very well educated and he made this tour a really fun trip. I had absolutely no problem understanding his english as I do with some other tour guides. He knew so much about all the sites and was always happy to share information and answer questions. He went out of his way to make this tour special!

Kingdoms in little islands - The hospitality was amazing and the sceneries were so gorgeous. The food were budget friendly and equally delicious as well. The rich culture can easily take one back to their roots

Historical Dar es Salaam - Lots of history at Jesus Fort, walking tour of downtown Dar es Salaam provided insight as to how people live. Haller park was great especially the crocodile feeding was so entertaining. Also nice that we were given time to shop for souvenirs.
