Kilidove Tours and Safari was 5+ stars!
I used safari bookings to research and help select my safari operator and was thankful for the site. Kilidove Tours and Safari was on my shortlist and after numerous emails back and forth to George at Kilidove I knew that they were the Operator for me. He was prompt, professional, detailed in his correspondence and arranged the most memorable safari and cultural tour for me. I was looking for a mid-price safari and George arranged exactly what I was looking for. Very satisfied with the chosen accommodations of Mawe Tented Camp and Rhino Lodge, and the cultural tour George suggested and arranged after my safari was a day I'll never forget. It was the best!
As a solo female traveler it was important to me to feel comfortable and secure with the Operator I choose. I had a wonderful driver/guide in Joshua who was knowledgeable, pleasant and had an eye like a hawk. Couldn't ask for anything more and I highly recommend them and when I go back, which I will, I be contacting George at Kilidove!

Look Nowhere Else for a fantastic, full service safari experience!!
George was absolutely wonderful. Replied to all my queries and emails very quickly. He was very patient to work with us on the exact, customized safari vacation that we wanted and within our budget. He arranged absolutely everything: hotels, in country flights, game drives, everything. We stayed at his Mawe Tented Camp in the Serengeti. Superb facilities and customer service. Full on luxury camping and right in the middle of all the action. He has the best guides who are experienced, knowledgeable and customer service oriented. The best one: Boney! Request him. He picked us up at the airport and stayed with us the entire time until he dropped us off to fly to Zanzibar. He could spot a cheetah in waist high grass hundreds of yards away. He has been doing it for so long, he just knows what to look for in the habitat. We saw the big five thanks to him. He was super reliable and safe. We haven't stopped talking about this trip and George. Highly recommend!

George, Kilidove Tours and Mawe Camp in Serengeti
we booked our family safari tour through Tanzania with Kilidove Tours guided by Michael on a land cruiser it was one of our best holiday ever
The guide's eye is more than that of eagle he showed us everything rhinos, lions,hippos, elephants and he was very knowledgeable and very friendly we felt more than home
our tour included several parks of north Tanzania and a visit to Zanzibar
George put all plans together for us and we were honored to be welcomed and spend some nights at his luxury Mawe Tent Camp in the Serengeti. Make camp was the best place we stayed over all accommodation we stayed, the staffs are amazing, the location is fantastic its just one of the few places on earth where everyone wants to be.
Look no elsewhere Kilidove knows how to make your dream holiday come true

Perfect safari, perfect team, perfect guide -> unforgetable impressions
We did a 7 days safari in Tansania with Kilidove Tours end of August 2016 at nothern circuit with Arusha NP, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and of course the Serengeti. George aranged everything perfect, all Lodges, all gamedrives and visit to Oldupai-gorge were well organized. No problems at all. Incredible Impressions and Joshua (best guide south of the sahara) made this trip unforgetable. We will come back and do our next safari with Kilidove.

Wonderful Honeymoon with Kilidove
Kilidove organized our two week trip to Tanzania for our honeymoon in mid-August 2016, including a one week safari in the Serengeti / Ngorongoro and one week at the Z Hotel in Zanzibar. Everything went smoothly from our initial email conversations with George through our activities the entire trip. They were very responsive and flexible when we were looking into different areas of Zanzibar for our stay. All of the accommodations they arranged were excellent, including Mawe Tented Camp in the Sergeneti. Our Serengeti guide, Joshua, was incredible - he was very personable, flexible, and was an expert on everything related to our safari, including the habits of different animals from the big 5 to the many birds we saw, the environment and trees / plants along the way. He was amazing at being able to spot animals we would have missed, and we had multiple sightings of difficult to find animals including cheetahs and leopards (with their cubs no less). He even spotted two rare rhinos in Ngorongoro. We saw all the big 5 multiple times, and literally saw something new every day.
Our connections throughout the trip were all efficiently arranged, drivers were waiting for us even after we experienced a few delays with our airlines.
We couldn't have asked for a better trip, and the rate was very reasonable for everything that was included. Highly recommend!

Outstanding Experience
We booked our 3 night/4day safari with Kilidove. George provided excellent service in planning our trip from home. He answered all our questions and he was prompt with replies. When budget became an issue he was able to provide alternatives which we accepted to bring the cost down. Our driver/guide, Nixon, is an amazing person, very friendly and helpful . He stayed with us throughout the trip, from picking us at the airport to dropping us off at the end of the trip. The Serena Lodges in the park were all excellent. We had an amazing time and highly recommend Kilidove.

Highly Recommend Kilidove Tours, Paul(kilimanjaro) and Joshua(safari)
Highly recommend Kilidove Tours!
During our search for a guide company for climbing Kilimanjaro, George, the company owner explained every detail imaginable in great detail leaving us with no doubt that Kilidove Tours was the guide company for us. Every question and concern, and there was many, was quickly and professionally addressed. we exchanged more than 60 emails
Our guide, Paul, Max and crew, were no different. It was obvious that it as much their goal for us to summit as ours. The entire staff were knowledgeable and very attentive to the needs. It was very obvious early on that our crew was watching us closely, monitoring our wellbeing to ensure we had an amazing and successful experience. Our meals were great. Every meal was excellently prepared, with a variety of fresh, nutritious, and tasty meals. I can't say enough about our head guide, Paul. Excellent communication skills, vast knowledge of the mountain and his attention to detail made our journey more than just a trek through the countryside of Tanzania. The communication between our expedition coordinator and guide was amazing. By chance, we summited a day ahead of schedule and KT and crew were kind enough, on short notice, to extend our safari that followed our hike by an extra day, all of which took place from the side of the mountain.
The safari itself was magical; we saw tons of animals; excellent choices of accommodation we stayed at Sopa Lodge in Ngorongoro, Serena in Serengeti and Maramboi in Tarengire on our 7days safari our guide Joshua, was excellent professional and we felt totally safe with him,
Before committing to a guide company for safari and Kilimanjaro do yourself a favor and contact George at Kilidove Tours. I'm confident you won't regret it!

Special Safari holiday on Christmas eve
My wife and I decided to do something else during our christmas holiday after a long research we decided to go on safari to Tanzania, we did a lot of reseach about tour operators based out of Arusha, and oversees we ended up going with Kilidove Tours mainly due to;-
1. Prompt responses, George the owner of the company was very responsive prompt and answered all our questions very quick we had exchanged emails more than 180
2. Value for money, I can say they offered us a very good price based on our requests, we had balloon ride over Serengeti, and 9days safari to see the great migration
3. Reputation. We did our own research read all good and bad reviews and noticed that the company put forward its reputation beyond anything else even when there are unfoseen events
Our safari itinerary included parks of Arusha where we saw lots of flamingos, TArangire we saw plenty of elephants, baobao trees, and gazelles, we went to Ndutu south Serengeti the great migration was there we saw cheetahs and lion cubs
We were guided by a middle aged man named Bony very experienced safari guide and very professional he totally made our safari dream come true
We are now finishing our holiday at a resort in Zanzibar La Gemma Del' est its magical, we dont wanna ho home
