It was absolutely perfect!
We had a perfect safari with the tour guide Thomas from kiliholiday.
Organisation: First of all everything was very well organised. transport from and to the Airport was even included. Mac (main contact) is a really cool guy who is very dedicated and you can ask him everything. He always answers in a few minutes.
The safari: Thomas is a very well experienced tour guide and a very good driver. He also has a very good Knowledge of the Different animals and answered every question. In total we saw six Lions and douzens of elephants, Zebras, wilder beasts and so on. But the highlight were the lions.
Food: everything was included (breakfast, lunch and Dinner). You get a really big lunch box so you will never be hungry.
Conclusion: in Our opinion the best company.

Amazing service and experience
We booked a 9 day tour including Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Great Migration and Tarangire with Kiliholidays early in April. Communications with Mack and his team were fluent by email and WhatsApp, patiently answering all our questions until we fully understood the options. Prices were very competitive compared to the other three agencies we compared with so we went for Kiliholidays.
The tour was perfect. We were a group of 8 in 2 Land Rovers. Drivers, Eduard and Thomas, were extremely professional, informed, patient, friendly and helpful. They spotted many animals for us and made sure we were at the right time and place for the incredible Wildebeest crossing of the Mara river.
We chose budget hotels and still they were great; staff was always very kind, rooms were clean and food was excellent. The tented camps in Serengetti were just amazing in comfort and service.
All in all, we had a great tour and we would recommend it to anyone wanting to have a Tanzanian experience.

Fantastic! Drivers were very nice and knowledgeable. Everything went exactly as planned
We had a fantastic trip. We found exactly what we were looking for and very often what we found was beyond our expectations.
No problems during the whole duration of the safari. The only small issue is that we forgot an ebook at the last hotel we stayed and Kiliholidays managed to collect it send it to us before our departure from Tanzania.

Not expensive, yet comfortable Kili experience
Communications were smooth and planning with this company made me no troubles. The hiking itself was also hustle-free, guides were proffesional, chef was cooking tasty, porters did their work properly. So our way to summit was easy-going (and succesful too). Reccomended

Perfect trip with a super professional agency.
Kiliholidays is a small but professional, well organized, easy to communicate with and at customizing the trip, agency. Mack, the boss, is very flexible and open to provide customized solutions for your trip, while Thomas was an amazing driver/guide,
Easily the best around, for an 8 days safari, together with a great cook as Daniel, who cooked us a great and diverse selection of vegetarian meals. Also Laurian, referring to a shorter trip, was a good driver, talkative and flexible as the good ones! Definitely super worth to experience!

Perfect 5 day Safari in Tansania
Everything was super! The communication with Mack in advance via mail was excellent and fast. First we were a little bit worried about the advance payment but everything went perfectly fine! We were picked up by our really nice guide Laurien at 5 o clock in the morning from the airport. In the evening Mack visited us and explained everything about the upcoming the safari. On the next morning Laurien picked us up again and we started our safari. With the help of our excellent guide we could spotted all big five! He knows so many things about the flora and fauna and could answer all our questions. And despite that he is a very safe driver and always made jokes and looked after us. We had a little car brake but Laurien brought us to a Lodge to wait there until everything was fixed - not really a wonder if we think about the bad African roads :-). It was one of our best holidays ever and we really could recommend Kiliholidays and Laurien! Thank you so much! We are already missing the wonderful Serengeti.

Trip of a lifetime!!
Our 8 day safari with our fantastic guide, Thomas exceeded our expectations.
This is my fourth trip to Africa. I have visited eight different countries in central Africa and Tanzania is now my favourite country. Thomas, our guide was so knowledgeable and his ability to drive and spot animals was uncanny. We travelled around 2000 klms during our 8 days and each day we were not disappointed with being up close to lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, etc. Thomas made our trip for us. Such a pleasant, easy going person to be around. Guides are such an important part of a business because you spend 8 to 10 hours a day with them.
