Un unforgettable family experience & adventure organised and operated by great people!
From the first contact with Kiliholidays till the end of our family trip, it has been a wonderful und unforgettable experience. The owner, Mack, suggested the perfect trip for our family. Always quick with responding on emails, telephone calls, honest and clear with the agreements that were made. We booked the Migration 6-day trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, real value for money and guided by an amazing person, our guide and driver Julius!! He is the most caring guide and driver you can wish for. A lot of knowledge about Wildlife, the environment, the Masai and Tanzania in general. He is a real gentleman, caring about the safety for the family and very flexibel concerning special wishes during the safari. He made our trip fantastic!!
If you want to book a safari with a trustworthy and experienced company, you should go for Kiliholidays! And you also should know that Tanzania is a very safe country for travellers (also corona wise, no danger at all), the people from Tanzania are genuinely friendly and you feel very welcome.
Kiliholidays, Julius & Mack, many thanks for this unforgettable trip!
The safari I always dreamed of!
Before we arrived Mack ensured every detail was taken care of. Due to COVID there were many changes of plan along the way but Mack ensured everything was taken care of and planned out a fantastic Ininerary. 6 day Safari that took in Ngorongoro, the Serengeti and Tarangire NP.
My wife and I were greeted at the airport by Eddy who was unbelievable all trip. Eddy took us to Ngorongoro were we met our cook Danny more about him later. Throughout the trip Eddy informed us of everything that was going on the next day at Dinner. He checked all timings and plans with us everyday. From Ngorongoro to the Serenghrti to Tarangire all the way back to the airport Eddy had our back. The guy has some sort of super power for finding Big Cats. In fact on our first night when we had just arrived in the Serengeti he said he wouldn't sleep til he showed us a lion. We left Danny to sort the tent and an hour later we returned after seeking a family of Lions chilling after a big meal. Eddy was truly amazing all trip he took the roads like a pro was always in control and made sure we saw all the big 5.
Every morning afternoon and night Danny cooked up a storm for us. His cooking was amazing and he was more than happy to share his recipes with me. He even had the banter to match.
Without Eddy and Danny the trip not have been the same. They made sure we had everything we needed and made every moment special. I will never forget being that close to a cheetah or a pride of Lions and it's all down to Eddy.
If you book with kiliholidays make sure you ask for Eddy and Danny. They will make sure that trip you've been dreaming of is better than you could have ever imagined. I'll always be grateful for just how amazing kiliholidays was all trip.

Once-in-Lifetime Adventure w our guide Tomas!
Hello! My daughter and I decided to take a trip to Tanzania in April 2021. Mac with Kiliholidays made it so easy. We decided on June I contacted several companies but he was so friendly and gave so much useful information with lots of extra perks and right price that I knew they were the ones. He made it so very easy from start to finish but what really made it incredible was a most incredible guide named Tomas. Tomas was so professional and made everything so easy. He took care of everything. All we had to do was be present. We had lunch with two brother lions one day, and the next with a mama cheetah and her young one. He knew the spots to go with no other safari trucks around. We saw the scarce leopards, cheetah, giraffes, hippos, elephants, Buffalo, gazelles, zebras, wildebeast, pumba, baboons, so many Lion prides, monkeys, jackals, hyenas, a rare sighting of a Serval in a tree. We came across snakes, monitor and the most beautiful birds you can imagine including White Pelicans and Flamingos. Tomas new the history sharing wonderful stories of some of his adventures in the Savanna. He told us all about the Maasai people and their relationship with the animals and nature. We also had the opportunity to have two Maasai Warriors as our guardians when we stayed at our 4-star glamping site. They also told us fascinating stories of their lives. Tomas took care of everything. I have never had an easier vacation. I cant imagine anything going more perfect. June was perfect time of year with perfect cooler temps, (50-70 F), blue skies, few tourists, and beautiful animals everywhere. We hated to leave the day Tomas took us to the airport (matter of fact he turned around to pick us back and returned us to Arusha due to a covid and visa issue). I cannot see anyone giving us a more brilliant holiday than Kiliholiday Safaris with Guide, Tomas, and Owner, Mack. Thank you thank you Tomas for being the best guide ever!!!

Get ready for your most wonderful family trip in Tanzania!
We just came back from our family trip (mother, child and grandmother) in Tanzania, including a three day safari with Kiliholidays. We had the most wonderful time, our travel agent Mack and driver Edward were kind, polite, professional and very accommodating. They managed to make a programme with everything we wanted to see in a very short time, for which we are very grateful. Both accommodations we stayed at were absolutely wonderful: the Farm of Dreams lodge in Karatu was the ideal stop between our late flight into Kilimanjaro airport and the safari early next day surrounded by lush vegetation and very traditional banana thatched roofs in the houses. The Embalakai Camp in Seronera was out of this world; in the middle of the savanna, with wildlife all around us, comfortable tents, hot water, absolutely wonderful food and very kind people running it. We saw all the animals except rhinos (which are more rare to find), we visited Oldupai gorge and the Maasai village, Ngorongoro crater and the area around Lake Manyara. Our driver Edward was patient and very flexible, as travelling with a young child is never easy. He made our child feel very much at ease and very comfortable. Mack and Edward also arranged covid tests at Seronera on the spot, which was arguably no easy task. Asante sana! Until we meet again!

The best quality/price and great impression. One of the best trip in my life!
We had a safari: Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangiri.
We've seen a lot of animals, lions and elephants in ~2 meters distance.
Our guide was very attentive and did his best to show us the best views.
We were happy that we have:
1. the private tour (comparing with many other cars around us)
2. all 2 nights in the great hotel with cute private houses (comparing with tent, proposed by other companies)
3. delicious restaurant meal in the hotel (the lunch-boxes were prepared by this restaurant)
4. meeting in Arusha airport and finishing in Kilimanjaro hotel (very flexible)
5. very generous and one of the best price (we chose companies with ~5 rates and 100+ reviews)
6. prompt and correct answers to a lot of our questions during the preparation before safari
The car wasn’t new, but for us it wasn’t important. It worked very well.
So, as for me – I’m very happy with this trip and with Kiliholidays. I would highly recommend them!

These guys have great service and staff
The safari with Kiliholidays was amazing !!! We saw a lot of animals and a lot of interesting things.
Our guide Laurian did his job very well and we even became friends.
The lodge exceeded our expectations - a large green area, cozy bungalows and friendly staff.
This was one of the best travel experiences.
