Feel the Serengeti, and Nature
The owner of this business is a one of a kind gem, young, listens well, energetic, and knows the Safari business well. I have been on Safari in Tanzania 10 or more times, as well as other countries. His drivers know your itenerary, and often stop for things not expected that you are interested in. He knows every hotel, and every room. His cars are in great condition and he will help you decided what kind of Safari, and what kind of hotels, and cars. But if you have a favorite, he knows them too. We had a KLM flight delay, followed by an unexpected trip through Istanbul. We thought the Safari in Tarangiri, Serengeti, Manyara, and Ngorongoro crater was NOT going to happen when we found ourselves 3 days late. George Joseph, the owner, had spoken and emailed often enough that he re wrote our adventure. We wanted to camp in the Serengeti and 5 star hotel some nights. We did it all. Not one bad thing to say, and in my 25 years of time spent in Africa he nailed a perfect trip. His prices are moderate, but his quality is high. KILIDOVE is the best. The camp experience was in Nakasia and Tarangeri. We had Hyenas around our tent one evening, and woke up to 4 giraffes eating near the front door. Stork, and other birds flew into the area all the time. The hotels we stayed in at Manyara and Ngorongoro were breathtaking, the rooms overlooked the lake and crater. The food was great. Box lunches were very good, often way too much food. We had night skies that you wouldnt get in any city, and saw the big 5 in one day. The drivers are knowledgable, and often offer a track off the beaten path littered with other Safari cars. We saw Cheetah, Lions, and Leopard all in one trip. The lion kill of a warthog was, well, its Africa and exciting to see nature throught the eyes of the animals. We saw birds, snakes, wild dogs, and too many other animals to name. The quality starts at the top, George took our disaster and turned it into the best vacation Ive experienced in Africa. After we met him, I knew that we would be friends for a lifetime. I still write, and he still answers. Ask him about his family and go to see them if you want to top off a trip with a memory that you will NEVER forget. I am forever greatful for his positive way in approaching his work, family, and life. The driver we had was Bonaface, and he has eagle sharp eyes. He spotted animals and birds, knows their body language and habbits. He was a pro in every sense of the word. He also made time for us to be able to do some shopping, and last minute things we wanted to see. But, we didnt stop there, we went on a 3 day Zanzibar excursion. I was in Zanzibar 5 years ago on my own with the wife. This time, we handed him the reigns, and we saw more and did more in 3 days than the week we had 5 years ago. He knows this business. Im open to questions, photos, anything you need to be sure that you get the wild or tame experience you want in East AFRICA. Not one thing to wish I saw or did. We spent 6 nights and 7 days, all park fees included. The tents were luxury tents with hot water and all, and Lions walking around your vehicle will get your adrenalin flowing. No car malfunctions or break downs, lots of bottled water for safari, just about perfect.

wonderfull experience with Kilidove Tours and Safari
Me and my girlfriend just came back from a 4 days safari, 2 days serengeti np and 1 day ngorongoro crater. Our impression was very good, our guide was very professional and expert about many things, he was ready to answer every question we asked and showed us as much as possible. Mawe tended camp was just stunning, very private, with good facilities and very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful too. I would go back tomorrow if I could.

Very good
After several emails with George we decided to rely on him for our safari. George organized a large 5 day safari Lake Manyara-Serengeti-Ngorongoro. We have to thank John our prepared and professional driver / guide and with a perfect Italian he explained everything we asked and guided us in the savannah with great skill he showed us all the Big Five. Thanks John, you're the best we could have. We advise everyone to go on safari with this company.

Fantastic experience, would go with this tour operator and guide (Jackson) again.
The company is very professional and their guide was superb. He has eagle eyes and went out of his way to find and show us the big-5. Very helpful and supportive.
