Makasutu have different programs, depending the hour of arrival. Usually in the morning and before departing for the river tour there is a waiting period where a coffee or tea will be served, then the river will take 30/45 mn. After there is a walk of at least 1 h in the forest. A stop at a inside village, seing how they do the palm wine, the return to base will be by car, the road is not suitable for normal taxis. The traditional buffet lunch will be served and during that time some cultural activities like dance and music will take place.
Hello Jan, I read your review and you said you got there in a Taxi, whereas most people book an excursion from their hotel.

I imagine so, but you need to spend a couple of hours at least there. Best to check before you go. Wherever you are staying will do this for you I'm sure.
