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.

Unforgettable safari in Tanzania
18-day friends safari and 4-day stay in Zanzibar.
The Kilidove team knew how to listen to our wishes and we made a wonderful trip, unforgettable and probably one of the most beautiful for me.
I want to thank Richard, our guide, for his kindness, his professionalism, his patience, and his continuous good humor. We have seen, thanks to him, an incalculable number of animals, and in particular leopards, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, etc ...
Many thanks also to Mathias, our smiling and kind cook chief who has been able to prepare very good food despite sometimes difficult conditions.
I also want to thank Habib, our guide in Zanzibar for his good mood. He was able to share a little of the history and traditions of his island despite our short stay.
Asante sana also to all the team Kilidove, and a special mention to Mylène, for their availability and their kindness.

Sustainable Safari Operator in East Africa
My partner and I are seasoned travelers, having explored much of Africa, particularly African safaris. This year marked my second visit to Tanzania, with my first trip being in 2016 when I toured the southern circuit, including Ruaha, Selous, and Mikumi, with Kilidove Tours and our incredible guide, Joseph. After a few years, we returned for an epic 20-day journey through East Africa. We began in northern Tanzania, visiting Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Natron, and Serengeti. From there, we crossed into Uganda for Gorilla trekking in Bwindi, ending the trip in Kenya with visits to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli.
Thanks to the exceptional planning by Lisa and George, our trip was flawless. To our delight, we were once again guided by Joseph, whose unparalleled skills in spotting wildlife and navigating the parks truly impressed us. His passion for sustainable tourism and love for his country were evident throughout the journey. In Uganda, we were accompanied by Moses, a knowledgeable and storyteller who made the experience even more memorable. We’re already planning to return to Uganda to explore the other parts. Kenya, did not disappoint, with James as our guide. His professionalism, extensive experience, and deep knowledge made for an extraordinary safari.
The safari vehicles across all three countries were in pristine condition, almost brand new. It's clear that Kilidove Tours has made thoughtful investments in ensuring a comfortable experience. All interregional transfers, via Coastal Aviation, AeroLink, and Kenya Airways, were smoothly arranged, ensuring we wasted no time during our travels. Flying in small planes allowed us to enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the landscapes we were exploring.
One of the standout aspects of Kilidove Tours is their commitment to sustainability. George shared their many initiatives aimed at leading the way in conservation and responsible tourism. We noticed these efforts in various ways—there was hardly any plastic packaging at the places we stayed, the reusable water bottles came with a meaningful backstory, and the guides were meticulous in managing waste. It was inspiring to see how developed their sustainable practices are.
The accommodations were perfectly curated; we stayed at Mawe Lodges, Bwindi Gorilla, Heritage Lodges, and Elewana in Amboseli—all top-notch choices. We wholeheartedly recommend Kilidove Tours to anyone traveling through East Africa. They provide incredible value for money, and the experience is nothing short of exceptional.
