Amazing experience
We went private safari 4-days Serengeti and Ngorogoro. If i could do it one more time, i’d go only Serengeti, because you actually see everything you need to see there. Ngorogoro is beautiful by the nature but the animals you see are so far away.. Serengeti is huge park, so expect a long drive with no animals , but after you arrive to the right spot you realise it was worth the wait. We slept in camps that weren’t protected from the animals so during the night you stay in the tent making no noise because it’s dangerous! An amazing experience for me were the buffalos around our tents which filled me up with adrenaline. Thomas was amazing guide, he knows a lot of things but you gotta ask him and he’ll tell you everything! But you could do this 4 days program actually in 3 days.

Kiliholidays is simply the best!
You will feel that you're in great hands from the moment they pick you up through the end of your journey. Loved my safari tour with them especially my guide Laurian who I give a special call out because he did everything he could to make my safari experience unforgettable. The food was delicious! Made by our cook Pita, great cook btw.
I recommend this company without a 2nd though and ask for Laurian and Pita, you wont regret it.
Special callout to Mack also, he did everything from emails to calls and was really helpful

Everything was great!
We were immediately contacted by Whats app, it was convenient to communicate. I advise them to write a couple of days, reminding them of myself.
The tour itself was very memorable, we saw everyone except the elephants. Mloka Lodge - everything is new, good service, delicious food and 5+ for eco tourism.
Everyone speaks excellent English. Paul responded to all our wishes, stayed also in the village, found us a local guide.
We will gladly go with them again.

Great experience to see animals in wildlife
Our guide was Thomas, who showed us and gave more information about animals that we met. We catched the big African five! It was amazing. Family of 20 elephants were on watering and then were passing by our car just in one meter. Breathtaking moment.
We fought with monkeys when the tried to steal our food.
We booked safari trip a 3 weeks before, communication with Mack were clear and polite. He met us in airport, and then we started our 3 days safari journey.
Thanks our guide Thomas for everything!

Melchior is the best safari guide
We had an amazing time with Melchior in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He really loves his job and he is always taking the extra step and tries to find something interesting. For example we saw cheetah hunting a rabbit and lions hunting zebras. And we saw these actions because he was willing to take a risk and take us somewhere special. Honestly he is super amazing and very very smart guy. Definitely the best safari guide you can ask for! We were super satisfied and are definitely recommending him to all our friends. Thank you Melchior!

lovely experience
We just got back from a lovely 4 day trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
We booked the tour only 2 days in advance, but communication and coordination with Mack was very smooth and uncomplicated.
So arriving at JRO airport our guide Laurian was already waiting for us and took care of us very well until dropping us off again at the airport a couple days later. E.g. providing cold drinks, plugs or wifi in the car.
We enjoyed to explore the nature with Laurian and he has great knowledge and a great sense for spotting all different kind of animals. Also he is humble, funny and a great driver.
The scenery and diversity of animals was mind blowing and amongst many others we got to see the big 5, giraffes, crocodiles and thousands of zebras.
We had 2 nights at the Farm of Dreams Lodge and 1 night at Embalakai Camps, both being beautiful places with warm-hearted people. To our surprise we even got an additional hotel in Arusha, which we did not expect.
We would definitely recomment Kiliholidays and were very happy to have chosen them.
Asante sana Laurian and Mack, it was a pleasure meeting you :)

Always camera ready, Its Magical !!
I couldn't be so much happier with the services offered by Kiliholidays. It was very easy from the beginning, starting with communication. Mark was really good with setting all this up for us.
My guide, Joachim was amazing !! I would definitely recommend asking for him when you book your next trip. He is reliable, smart, well spoken and he will help you find all the animals in that jungle. He is funny with a good sense of humor you will have fun.
Thanks guys for making this trip a TRIP OF A LIFETIME !

Essential Safe Safari
We have really professional guide Edward, comfortable offroad Land Rover and a lot of Africa! We did big African 5 except for leopard, we have been with 2 small childs and they enjoyed all Safari.
We had some questions about food, and we saw real improvement.
Reasonable price for really safe and fascinating adventure.

Great, The guides Tumaini & Raymond were great and taught me some Swahili on my 8 day hike.
The trek exceeded my expectations. The guides were professional and punctual. The porters ensured we got good spots to sleep.
