Highly experienced and extremely accommodating!
I started researching this trip properly 3 years ago, & emailed a LOT of companies. Kili Slope Tours & Safaris stood out by far; the tour package they offered was perfect (mid range, 9 day safari inc Arusha National Park, 3 nights in the Serengeti, Taragire National Park, & the Ngorogoro crater), very small group (no more than 4), & the cost was extremely reasonable.
David, the owner, was so very helpful & fully answered all my many MANY questions at all hours on WhatsApp. I’d decided on Kili Slope Tours just as covid hit, but he kept in touch throughout & did not hassle, and was completely accommodating with the constant changes occurring due to the pandemic.
Kili Slope Tours offer small group safaris which really appealed to me. Pretty much all the companies use the same type of car, (4x4 Land Cruiser, who’s roof can be pushed up, with 7 seats + guide). Having witnessed a lot of the big tour companies packing the people into their cars, where every seat was taken, I was hugely grateful that David promised no more than 4. To be able to move about within the car & get to see everything when it mattered was so important. As it turned out, there was just me & one other guest in the car, as the other couple of guests had passport difficulties at the last minute (sad for them but a result for me).
My guide was Stuart, who’s company I very much enjoyed & who’s great experience & knowledge of nearly 20 years was obvious when we were out on safari. I’m sure everyone says that about their guide, but he took decisions that others did not, and as a result we witnessed some truly fabulous scenes, and we would quite often be the only car.
The accommodation & food at every location was v good, especially the luxury tented camp in the Serengeti which is an experience not to be missed.
I’d definitely recommend Kili Slope Tours & Safaris- they can offer a more unique experience with a personal touch, and offer a flexibility that other companies do not. I’d also add that travelling as a solo woman, I always felt particularly safe & well looked after.
Thank you, David (Senior & Junior) & Stuart, for making my Tanzanian safari trip a truly unforgettable experience.

Good support
We would like to say thank you to David and his team for all the organisations of our safary, because firstly we booked safari with differet company and it was fraud, person whom we made a preepayment stoped to answer our messages. So David helped us to make a report for police and search this person, he covered from his budget part of the fraud and organized us a new safari. He kept in touch us during all the trip and answered all our cuestions, very good support! Hotels and lodges were amazing, we felt african ambience during at all time of our safari!

Wonderful safari days with the perfect tour operator!
We only had 2 days for the safari and a very limited budget. Thanks to David and his team, we got a lot of positive emotions, saw a lot of animals in Tarangire and Arusha National Parks (including 4 of the big 5) and just had a great time.
Many thanks to Sia who turned out to be a very professional good guide, good driver and just a good guy.
I recommend Kili Slope to everyone.

Excellent
We had a very good time with our guide RAMADHAN CHAMBUSO. He picked us up at the hotel the first day and took excellent care of us until the end. His eye for animals is unique. We have seen them all. Since we were traveling alone with him as a family, he was able to perfectly adapt the five safari days to our wishes and his ideas.

Awesome 4day safari experience
Through a friend I got in touch with Kilislopes and David organized a wonderful safari tour for me and my girlfriend.
The communication was fast and uncomplicated, due to Corona we could only confirm our trip the day before we arrived but everything worked out perfectly. We were picked up at the airport and started from there with guide and cook on an incredible 4-day camping safari (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ncorongoro Crater). We saw the BIG 5 and the overnight stay in a tent in the Serengeti was a unique experience. The safari exceeded my expectations - thanks a lot for these amazing days! Asante sana!

Well organized, fantastic trip!!!
We did a Kilimanjaro hike (Lemosho route 7 days) and a 5 day Safari (Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoto Crater) with Kili Slope Tours and Safari in October 2021. The communication in advance was easy and uncomplicated and the organization of the trip and team was great.
We successfully climbed the Kili, had an awesome guide and team where we always felt comfortable and safe. Also at the safari we had a great guide and cook and had a fantastic time. The tour was organized on our preferences so we really got what we wanted to do and see. I can highly recommend the tour operator. Thank you very much for this great holiday!
An amazing experience
It was the best experience so far.
We met David and he helped us with a lot of informations.
Kili Slope and tours is the best agency, Jackson ,the driver, is very kind and professional.I sent my request to at least 10 agencies but I chose Kili Slope.
We changed several times the dates, the schedule because of the pandemic but everything went well.
I would highly recommend it.

Incredible week of Safari
Tanzania is an amazing and beautiful country and I would highly encourage everybody to choose the place for Safari. The people are all very nice, Hospitable and all really take the effort to try to conserve the natural environment in the country which leads to a vast concentration of animals. Kili slopes is the perfect company to take you on safari in Tanzania. David is very accommodative and made a personalized itinerary for us for an 8 night Safari. He is easy to reach and his pricing is very reasonable. He promised us we would see all the Big 5 animals during our trip and the Safari lived up to its billing. The diversity of animals far exceeded my previous Safari in South Africa, as we got a great look at the wildebeest migration/calving season in the Ndutu area right before the long rain season. We saw all the big 5 during our safari, several cheetahs and hyenas and even some rare finds such as a serval cat, albino baboon, and a hippo out of water! Overall our Safari was made because of our incredible guide Simon. He is very charismatic, speaks great English, communicates well and truly makes the extra effort to make sure that we get the best chance to see animals. In the Ndutu area off road driving is allowed and he made sure that we could get close enough to see lions in trees, leopards and cheetahs. He is very experienced and we always felt safe in his Jeep. He is very knowledgeable about all of the animals, has an eagle eye in spotting animals we otherwise wouldn’t have seen on our own and is easily one of the best drivers who goes into Serengeti. Additionally, chef Salim made us delicious vegetarian food during every night we camped (even Pizza!). Tanzania has very low rates of covid transmission and is safer than most western countries. Nonetheless, nearly all businesses (including David’s) take the proper precautions including having hand washing/sanitizer readily available. Overall Tanzania is a must see and Kili slope will make sure you have the best experience possible! If Simon is your guide you will certainly not be disappointed.

Alle Erwartungen übertroffen
Meine Erwartungen wurden in jeder Beziehung übertroffen:
- Auf die Anfrage im Internet hatte ich innerhalb eines Tages ein ausgezeichnetes Angebot erhalten.
- Die Anzahlung war unkompliziert (Crefit-Karte oder Banküberweisung).
- Ich wurde zuverlässig am Flughafen abgeholt und nach Arusha ins Hotel gebracht, wo mich David (Manager und Inhaber) schon erwartet hatte und ich auf meinen Safaripartner traf.
- Aufgrund der Gelöndebedingungen wegen des Wetters hat uns David uns eine kleine Änderung des Programms vorgeschlagen. Wir haben ihr zugestimmt und sie ist perfekt gewesen.
- Tags darauf wurden wir von Jackson (Driver und Guide) abgeholt und mir wurde geholfen eine lokale SIM-Karte zu einem fairen Preis zu organisieren.
- Jackson ist ein hat sich als ein ausgezeichneter "Tier-Jäger" erwiesen, konnte uns die Big 5 und noch viele anderen zeigen. Dank seiner guten Vroahnung, was die Tiere als nächstes machen, konnte er uns stets in eine gute Position bringen, um die Tiere ganz nahe zu sehen.
- Stets konnte er unsere Fragen mit grosser Kompetenz beantworten.
- Die Lodges und Camps waren ausgezeichnet. Die Zelte waren eingerichtet wie die Suiten von First-Class-Hotels. Das Essen war immer sehr gut.
- Am Schluss der Safari wurden wir wieder von David erwartet, der sich nach unserer Zufriedenheit erkundigt hat.
Nachmals ganz Grossen Dank an Jackson und David! Diese schönen Erinnerung werde ich niemals vergessen!

My safari experience with Kili Slope was very enjoyable and safe!
I did a 9 days safari with Kili Slope in December. I visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Ndutu, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Arusha National park. I did the luxury accommodation because I’ve never done camping before. Hotels were good with beautiful views of the mountains and crater. Also, I spent three days in Serengeti and I stayed at a tented lodge, which is basically fancy camping. It’s a hotel room inside a tent. You have a nice bed, a nice bathroom with hot running water in the shower, plus a bathtub. It was exciting because there was no fence outside of tent so it was technically “camping” and securities had to escort us from our room to the dining area at night because a Lion could just be sitting next to your tent at night.
Safari included unlimited water, three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) as long as accommodation. David, the owner, was very helpful with getting everything booked and planned before my vacation. He sent the daily itinerary of the safari, including the park and accommodation for the day. In order to make sure he answered all my questions before my arrival, he added me in WhatsApp to make sure he was available and reachable at any time. This gave me confidence specially since I was traveling alone. Once I was in Tanzania m, everything went according to plan, I was picked up in Moshi by one of David’s driver and taken to Arusha to start my safari. Before my arrival, I had paid a 26% deposit and once I met David in person, I paid the rest.
The safari itself exceeded my expectations, specially thanks to my driver Simon. Simon is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. I learned a real great deal from him. He knows almost all the bird species and why their names were given to the them. He told me very detail information about the nature and behavior of each animals. He also told me about most of the trees and plants we saw and what were their functions in nature. After my safari, I could name all the antelopes we saw, I could also tell difference between a male and a female giraffe, and could tell you many fun facts about lions, elephants, buffalos, leopard, baboons, zebras, wildbeest, etc. He really made sure that we took the time for me to appreciate each animal
In its natural habitat, and at the same time learned about them. Simon is very professional, very well spoken, very fluent in English, and very energized! His charisma and patience makes the experience even more pleasant.
Furthermore, chances of seeing action in Safari depends on two things: luck and a good driver. Driver not only needs to know the best spots of where to find the animals, but also has to know how to read the animals body language and understand their next move; as well as being patient to give time and space to the animals to do what they need to do. Simon was definitely the best! Most of the good stuff I watched, we were the only cars there because the other drivers did have the same knowledge as Simon. Thanks to him, I witnessed a group of Lions eating a zebra, witnessed a Cheetah hunting a gazelle right in front of my face from beginning to end, also and most exciting witnessed a Leopard hunt and killed a baboon right in front of us, and watched the baboon family fight him off.
Overall, I am very happy with my safari. It was magical and a remarkable experience! It was very mind opening and fascinating to learn so much about these amazing animals and nature in general.
