great service
the team went above and beyond assisting us on the ground. Communication ahead of the tour was impeccable - fast, precise and to the point. quick responses via email and whatsapp. We had an issue with our flights, which we have booked privately, and Charity and her team have solved it for us so we could enjoy the safari to the fullest. Having done safari in a few different countries in Africa I find that the parks could have been better, but nothing to reproach to the safari team. they were indeed great and very helpful with everything!

Everything went as planned, perfect and quick communication
Everything went as planned, perfect and quick communication. They picked us up at the AirPort of Kilimanjaro, took us to Arusha hotel, where they picked us up the other day when the Safari Tour started. The food provided by the chef was very delicious, all the time they were ready to help

Little structure so its better to communicate dirrectly with the boss.
we loved our 3 days safari with Kilipath. our French-speaking guide Yuvin was perfect! a magical experience! I advise you to extend with a night in a park and go on a walking safari! (possible in Arusha park)

Great tour with amazing people
We were able to see a variety of animals including the big 5! The tour guide and the chef were really kind and explained everything to us.
Also the other tour participants were absolutely cool and we became good friends.
Kilipath Afrocan Safari was always on time and responded quickly so totally recommended!!
Would like to use them again.

I would warmly recommend, it was 10/10
We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!

I do not trust this company! They cancelled an already confirmed trip a few hours before as they resell peoples paid tickets
I would never trust this company!! We had booked a safari trip directly through them well in advance, paid the deposit as advised and received a confirmation of booking together with flight tickets. The night before our trip the company emails us at 10:02pm (pickup was agreed for 6:30am) to inform that they cancel our trip. They gave us no reason for cancellation and when our hotel staff called them, they told that they had re-sold our tickets to someone else. Later on they told us that airline had canceled the flight, which we found out to be a lie and no flights were actually canceled…
So besides causing us a huge disappointment, they also decided to blindly lie to us and not take any responsibility of their actions whatsoever. Our customer service representative Charity also decided to stop responding our emails leaving us unanswered.
All in all, incredibly bad customer service and non-reliable company. I highly recommend to book through someone else!

Best experience of my life
This has to be the best thing we have ever experienced, the tour guide felix was so helpful and very attentive, the food was amazing and we got to see the big 5

Lovely/amazing/unforgettable would reccomend
Booking the tour was so simple and straight forward, we were in touch with felix and he picked us up personally from the airport and made sure we were well accommodated and looked after, we did a 3 days safari and saw every animal possible from mice to lions, the food was amazing and the hospitality of all the staff was really good, we hope to come again and would advise others to use this company, also the camp site looked amazing (we booked a lodge which was absolutely great) however when speaking to our group they also said it was an experience they will never forget. I could go on but I have a flight to catch but I hope to be back soon
