Amazingly perfect!!!!
Still in Tanzania but I couldn't wait to write the review as I had the most amazing experience with Kili Slope. Booking was super easy, communication with David as well and I had the best guide Stewart and the best cook ever Alidy. Steward was so generous with his knowledge of the country and of the wildlife and also very patient with the million of questions I was posing him during the 6 intensive days we had together. It was so good that we only missed flying giraffes and pink elephants, to spot all other animals looked so easy for Steward.
Will certainly repeat the experience.

5 day Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro budget safari
I went on a 5 day budget safari in June 2018 to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We were in a group of four (two couples) and it was a fantastic experience. It was my third safari experience and a first for the other three.
I researched safari companies excessively prior to any bookings and Kili Slope appeared to be the best with regards to reviews and cost. Communication was impeccable and I always received prompt responses to my messages. Payment was made really easy. They ask for a small deposit to secure a safari and the remainder is paid in cash upon arrival. They picked us up from the airport and we were put into a budget hotel for the first night in Arusha for no charge which was an added bonus. The entire package is all-inclusive with no hidden costs (tipping the guide and cook were our only extra costs).
The safari itself was an incredible life-changing experience. Our guide, Salim, was phenomenal. He was friendly, professional at all times, really enthusiastic about his job and just understands animals on a whole other level. He knew exactly where to go and we got into really close proximity to a multitude of animals - cheetahs, lions, leopards, hippos, rhinos, etc. He made it his priority to find us the big five and give us the best experience possible.
We elected for budget accommodation and we stayed in a fairly "glamping" style ensuite tent in Manyara with actual beds and the remainder were in tents pitched in campsites. The Serengeti accommodation was basic with running water for showers in the campsite. It was however made exceptional by Sam's cooking who accompanied us for the trip. We elected to have packed lunches (sandwiches, pancakes, juice, fried chicken, fruit) so we could maximise safari time. We were treated to a hot breakfast and a three-course dinner every day. The Ngorongoro campsite is lush with Wi-fi and hot water.
The service and tour greatly exceeded expectations and I would definitely recommend Kili Slope Tours and Safaris to anybody looking into booking a safari in Tanzania. I would personally request Salim, if at all possible.
Thank you Kili Slopes for a fabulous time!

Excellent 4 day private Safari with Salim
We had great 4 day private safari with this company. Preparatory communication went through David, who was swift and pleasurable in his replies.
Our driver for the safari was Salim, who is an excellent driver, and was able thanks to his knowledge of the area and wildlife behavior, to show a very extensive variety of wildlife. Not to forget his remarkable eyesight, which directed us to animals which were otherwise overlooked. We saw all animals we could think of (lions, cheetah, leopards, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, wildebeests, antilopes, gazelles, ostriches, big variety of birds)
We first stayed at the Mawe tented camp and then the Ngorogoro Serena lodge, both were high quality accommodation and gave us a unique unforgettable experience.

Once in a lifetime experience, great organisation, great guide (Salim) great everything
kili slope did the part of our safari that took place in Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngoro-Ngoro, Tarangire). The communication before the trip went via our travel agency in Kenya, Right Choice (also great). We had an excellent guide (Salim/Simon), who did wonderful game drives with us, provided a lot of information about the animals but also about his country and was a lot of fun to be with because of his sense of humor. He was also helpful in organizing my daughter's birthday surprise, very reliable, a very good driver, one couldn't possibly expexct more out of a safari trip. We saw the big five and a lot more other animnals and learned so much about the animnals but also about Tanzania. The management also was very interested in our well-being, insisted on meeting us in Arusha and even brought us a cold coke as a joke, because we requested it as a condition of being satisfied. Good humour there also. So altogehter I can recommend kili slope and especially our guide Salim/Simon.

Amazing experience! 7 days safari and Kilimanjaro
I did two activities with the Kili Slope: Ascent to Mount Kilimanjaro via Machame route and 7 days of safari. The initial email contact was very good. David Maro is very friendly, gave quick answers and made the booking process very easy. On arrival at the airport there was already a Kili Slope front desk staff and it was alright. I stayed in a simple hotel (Meru Inn), however clean and tidy. No problem. The climb to Kilimanjaro was very good. The guide, cook and porters always very friendly and helpful. The food during the climb is excellent and of good quality. Everything went very well and the service was very good.
The 7 day safari was also excellent. The car is very good, the meals are also great. We visited the parks, saw lots of animals and the campsites were very good. I make a special highlight for the guide Ziggy. He drives very well and has a lot of experience on safaris. We found several animals. He was very helpful and friendly. Anyway, I recommend the Kili Slope for safaris and Kilimanjaro. The service was great and the prices were very good too.

Unique experience and a must do!
My husband and I decided to go on our honeymoon to the 6 days Safari in Tanzania. We had an awesome experience in Tanzania thanks to Lazaros (the guide) and David/Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We travel in the second half of August and it was the dry season (they only have 2 seasons - dry and rain). Unfortunately, we missed the migration to Kenya (couple of weeks before).
We chose to do safari in the 4 parks (Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area). Each one of them have different characteristics and, in our opinion, it’s worth to do the 4 of them. Even though it was the dry season and after the migration to Kenya, we succeeded to see many many wild animals. And as they say it’s the “game driver”, because of Lazaros eagle eye and his familiarity with the wild life, we saw several wild animals very close to the car. There was a day when a leopard was surrounded by several cars and we could barely see it. Then, he saw that the leopard started to move and he moved the car and asked us to be patient. Boom! We had the best view of the leopard walking away from all those cars.
A few words about the safari guide: if you can, ask for Lazaros. We didn’t meet other guides, but we could see the difference between him and other guides when we sat together to have the lunch box. There are the professionals and the workers. And Lazaros is definitely a professional on his duty! Wise man, knows everything about the animals, their life, the differences in species, the difference in the wild life all year long, he could recognize wild animals far away, including different birds. And also he gave us some words about marriage life, since we are in the beginning of our journey…
Also talking to other people during the lunch box time, we realized that our tented camp in Serengeti was a very good one, so we should state a few words about it. The name is Serengeti Mawe Luxury Camp and we had an amazing room with toilet and shower with running hot water (not only I read, but other mentioned that they had a bucket on their heads with limited amount of water and in limited hours). One night, we had an amazing dinner under the stars, only with candles lights. Remarkable experience!
Last tip: bring your own binocular (there are several cheap ones selling in Aliexpress. We also bought Magnification Zoom Optical Monocular for the mobile phone and it was amazing). Although they say they have available in the car, they have only one. So if anything happens during the 6 days, you’ll be out of options…
As every trip, there were a couple of issues like a mismatch when they were supposed to pick us up in the airport (solved in 10 minutes), the Charity Hotel (issues regarding malfunction in some facilities and long wait for the dinner in an empty restaurant) that was also quickly solved by David (but don’t expect much from the hotels in Arusha, we stayed in the The Jevas Hotel and in the end it was worse than Charity).
Big thanks to David and Lazaros! You made this trip be very unique for both of us!
