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.

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.

Email Kristina | 20-35 years of age | Experience level: first safari
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!
