Perfect Safari trip
My wife and I just came back from the 7 day safari trip including Tarangire , Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and lake Natron with our guild/driver Salim and cook Halidi. It was a wonderful trip. Mr. Salim is very professional and passionate about his job, with his guidance, we were able to see all of the big 5 in the single trip and of course a lot of other precious moments. Salim was very knowledgeable about the animals, plants, and local eco-system, we do learn a lot through the trip. The accommodation was good, the tent was pretty large (I would say luxury as compared with the tent we had on Kilimanjaro trekking). The food was good also, we still miss Mr Halidi's fried chicken.
Overall, well organized trip with good service.

Amazing guide (Salim), great food & accomodation!
We did 1.5 days in northern Serengeti to see the crossings of the wild beasts migration, and were able to see them twice :-D Northern Serengeti is a perfect place to do a Safari : all the animals (& big 5) can be seen, and the landscape is incredible and very varied. We flew there from Arusha, and even the flight is an adventure by itself! Then we drove south for 3 days visiting central Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Tarangire.
Our guide Salim was excellent, he explained us everything about the life in the savannah, and also taught us how the different tribes live in Tanzania. "Every national park has its specialty" he used to say, and he was definitly right! Don't hesitate to ask him when you plan you trip, depending on what you want to see.
The accomodations and the food were very good (we were in tented lodges, very good to keep the comfort but still feel in the savanna at night ;-)
Thank you all at Kili Slope for this amazing journey!

Clone Salim the driver/tour guide for Safari in Tanzania!
Having already seen the Big 5 in Kenya, it was a hard act to follow! Salim not only rose to the challenge, he excelled. During our month travel in Africa, he would be the 2 best tour guides! He was enthusiastic & kept searching for interesting experiences, with good commentaries. Unforgettable memories: 4 lionesses with 10 cubs, 5-hr journey search for wilderbeasts migration in Serengeti

AMAZING 10 DAYS WALKING/CULTURAL TOUR/WILDLIFE JOIN CAMPING SAFARI
Just perfect safari with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. From the very first communications exchanged with David Maro, I felt a strong interest in his offer for the 10-day safari. The speed with which I got all the answers to my questions allowed me to stop quickly on the product I was looking for and offered by Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. It was easy to make my choice among several companies, recent customer testimonials also helped to make my decision and start the process of transferring the deposit for the reservation. My beautiful safari in the parks of northwestern Tanzania ended in early November. Exceptional in all aspects, from the moment the driver picked me up at the airport until the end. Meetings with David Maro at the beginning and end of the safari were also appreciated from all points of view to clarify other details. The guide is also the driver of the vehicle throughout the journey is qualified and dynamic, always alert to spot the animals in the parks, careful on the roads, involved to ensure the comfort of participants, and what to say the cook who has accompanied throughout the trip, having prepared each succulent meal and always ready at the scheduled time, he is a member of the team very attentive to the participants of the safari. I just had a great appreciation for the equipment used during the safari, the sleeping bag was clean, the tent and the vehicle lived up to my expectations. Finally, I did not notice any lack with respect to the items mentioned in the contract and everything went off in an irreproachable way. Without hesitation, I recommend Kili Slope Tours and Safaris for the trip of your life.

Professionell, friendly and high standard
Management is competent, friendly and flexible. Ziggy who drove us around was great! Very knowledgeable and new when we wanted to converse and not. Very very happy with him. Would definitely use Kili Slope again.

Great thrills on Safari and hike
We came as a family of four from Israel.
We went on the 5 day Lake Manyara-Serengeti-Ngorongoro Safari in Mid December which turned out to be a great time as there were no crowds and the weather was good.
David arranged everything and the trip went very smoothly. We especially liked our stay at the Lake Manyara Serena Lodge. Also, the tented camp in Serengeti was a unique experience and is highly recommended.
Our guide Jackson did a great job at finding the wildlife and caring for our needs. We see saw lions hunting, lions eating and even a Cheetah kill. In addition we saw many Giraffes, zebras, some elephants and all the different kinds of antelope. Our impression was that we saw more wildlife than other people we met.
One recommendation is to buy souvenirs in the Tanzanite store and not in the local bazaars on the road which have inflated prices.
We also went on a three day hike to Mount Meru with Kili Slope. Our guide Ishmael and porters were really nice. They knew how to set the pace and to manage the hike which is relatively difficult. Also, the cook made great food. We had to get to the airport right after the hike and the company made sure that the car was waiting for us so that we could make the flight.
We would highly recommend Kili Slopes for your Safari.

9-day tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Natron, Tarangire, and Arusha
Tanzania is a gorgeous country and the destinations we saw were all superb! My husband and I had a private tour. Our favorite part of working with Kili Slopes was by far our guide named Salim. Salim is a young, enthusiastic guide who is very passionate about what he does, truly loves his country and the sights, and has a genuine respect and love for the wildlife. He is also very client-centered, and could read our needs and wants before we even communicated them. We loved every place we stayed at. Kili Slopes had arranged a variety of places for us, from luxury tents and a little bungalow, to very high-end lodges. It was my second time in Tanzania and I personalized an itinerary for us, which Kili Slopes was happy to accomodate. We let them pick the accomodations for us, but I think you can also be involved in that decision making process if you want to.
Of the places we stayed at, Lake Natron is the only one that provided an opportunity to walk around, and we had a Maasai guide whom we found very friendly and helpful. All the other places were mostly Safari by car given the dangerous nature of the animals that live in those parks. My favorite place in Tanzania (and perhaps the world) is Serengeti. Nothing else compares to the vast, endless plains of the Serengeti. Having said that, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire are both Must-See places.
I highly recommend Kili Slopes for anyone who wishes to get a wide range of Safari experiences all in one trip. I also highly recommend Salim.

Look no further!
I conducted research for weeks, contacting at least 100 safari tour operators over the span of a month and through all the hard work and research - I decided upon Kili Slope led by David. I have absolutely no regrets regarding this decision. The safari went without a hitch day by day. We thank David and Ziggy for this. For more details -- read on!
The price we were provided for the duration and private safari was extremely competitive, David was also very transparent regarding costs and one of the very few who accepted credit card as a method of deposit payment! David worked with us, we wanted Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire in a short time frame. David assured us he would construct an itinerary that worked... and that he did! He made sure our itinerary was custom to our wants and desires not what would be easy for him and his team -- and for that David, I thank you!
We requested mid range and to our surprised David upgraded us to a luxurious accommodation one night in the Serengeti as he was watching the rates and noticed a drop in price for the night we would be there, he booked us an incredible 5* luxurious accommodation -- at NO extra charge for us. This is only one of many examples of the owner at Kili Slope going above and beyond for his customers. ALL the mid range accommodations were amazing, great food, comfortable beds, immediately hot showers, full breakfasts, great views, great lunches to go - amazing dinners, I could go on!
Another example I must share, due to our short safari duration, every minute of our trip counted, on our way to Tarangire, we were to make a credit card payment at the park to proceed (as is expected with anyone going through the park). To my surprise, my financial institution blocked my credit card for use while in Tanzania, my financial institution was closed at the time as Arusha is 8 hours ahead. The time they would open would be in ~3 hours, stressed and frustrated - Ziggy contacted David. David, wanting us to make the most of the time allotted, went to his personal bank and conducted a bank transfer to the national park on our behalf. He did this without being asked by us, he did this on his own. We were then able to proceed immediately. We contacted our bank once opened and our card was finally good to use in Tanzania but David did not want us to bother with paying him back until we completed our safari, he wanted us to enjoy our safari - which we did.
You will not find too many people like David. I believe we lucked out deciding on this tour operator - but this is what research and dedicated time will do for you! We didn't decide to just look at the top 10 tour operators on tripadvisor, we didn't just google search "safari tour operators Tanzania" -- we went digging and found THIS GEM!!!!
The experience was incredible --- we will do another Tanzanian Safari in the future and will LOOK NO FURTHER THAN KILI SLOPE!!!
I could go on and on about how incredible the owner David is, but I need to add that not only was David outstanding, but our guide Ziggy? Out of this world! Please when you do the safari request Ziggy as your guide -- you will be so glad you did. He is a knowledgeable, kind and because we did so much driving, it's important to note he is a SAFE driver! He is extremely professional and punctual -- always early and ready for the day! Because of Ziggy we saw 4 out of the big 5 within a few hours and finally saw the Rhino at Ngorongoro! We saw so many animals, a hunt, so many prides -- all because of Ziggy!
We truly felt at peace with Ziggy present.
Please message me if you have any questions and again if you're looking for a tour operator -- stop your search, look no further and go with Kili slope. You will have ZERO regrets.

David was instrumental in ensuring that every details of our 4 day itinerary was looked after with professionalism. Everything went as planned. Thanks to Our driver Stuart, who was knowledgeable, familiar with the landscape; we saw the big 5. The accomodations were all very good. I Strongly recommend them for your next safari. Asante Sana guys!
