Amazing guide!
I will focus on our Tourguide, Thomas, because he made our experience better! He answered every single questions we had, no matter when, and his knowledge on animals was absolutely amazing! He always tried his best until very late to look for animals, (we were lucky to have 4 lions around our car at some point due to preseverance)! In general, our experience was just perfect, food was so tasty, and we had pleasant family moments!

Our safari was perfectly organized. One of the best experiences of my life. thank you
Thank you for this wonderful safari. Kiliholidays was perfect. Mack was professional, helpful, very very friendly, and on time.
Thomas, our guide, speaks English very well and has given us a lot of his specialist knowledge of the landscape and animals. Because of his local knowledge and his look, we saw elephants, zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, buffalos, flamingos, hyenas, hippos and and and. And even a successful two lion hunt.
The accommodations were wonderful and the food excellent.
I highly recommend kiliholidays and Thomas.
Thanks a lot. Esther and Clemens

Perfect safari!
Good and fast communication before safari. In safari was everything much more than we expected - very nice and comfort lodge, a plenty of tasteful food. Our driver-guide Thomas was super! Safe drive, he realized our thoughts and wishes, we saw so many animals and he always stopped just in the right place for a better view. And after safari we were taken to the airport just at right time! Perfect memories from safari just before the covid-19 chaos.

A truly memorable experience
Anyone considering their first safari in Tanzania must book with Kiliholidays. The high level of service, beginning with my first contacts with Mack, and culminating in a successful safari, assured me that I made the right choice. Our driver and guide, Thomas, is a young man who truly loves his profession. Aside from being a highly skilled driver (you need skill to cross rivers and deep mud), he is nature expert who will answer all of your questions. Last but not least, he went out of his way to make sure we saw The Big Five and so much more. He became our friend. I would like to thank Thomas, Mack and the Kiliholidays team for memories that will last a lifetime!

Incredible memorable experience! Couldn't have been better!
This company is amazing, the tour was very well organized and we saw way more than we expected to during the rainy season! The service was exceptional from both Mack and our driver Thomas. They are both very professional and Thomas always went out of his way to make it even more memorable for us! He truly cared about tailoring the safari to what we wanted. The service was also incredible at the camps and lodges we stayed at, and the food was so good! Saw the big five and so many unique things like a lion defending its kill. Couldn't have been better! I definitely recommend booking with kiliholidays! The price is very reasonable for the truly incredible experience you get!

It was excellent choice!
We've chosen Kiliholidays btween two other operators. One of the reasons was very quick communication with Mack, he responded to my questions quickly and on very professional manner. The offer has been tailored based on our requests and needs . It was 4 days safari with 3 nights in very nice lodges and one in tented lodge camp, which was exceptional experience as there were no other guests that time:-))
Our guide/driver Thomas was a great guy, funny with great knowledge of fauna and flora. He's been spotting for us animals, we had a chance to see some of them without other cars around what was incredible and very personal experience.
We've spent fantastic time in three national parks, saw lots of animals (no leopard though:-( ), had great fun with Thomas, the lodges were great, food was tasty, there is nothing to complain about.
I highly recommend Kiliholidays, Mack is very responsive, flexible, professional and helpful. If I ever come back to Tanzania for safari I'll do it with them again!
Thank you Mack! Thank you Thomas!

Fantastic Tanzania empowered by Kiliholidays Tours
Tanzania is a fantastic country with so much to see and to explore. So it is very important to choose a tour company that is well suited in showing you the best of Tanzania. We (2 adults and to kids 8 & 10) traveled for 7 days on a jeep operated by Kiliholidays. OF course never being to East Africa, we were excited and anxious about what to expect. The top operator Mack, was fantastic in meeting our demands ahead of time and making sure that all of questions are answered. We changed plans a few times (and even during our visit when we wanted to visit a museum) and he eagerly accommodated. Our Safari guide, Thomas was just great. He was great with us and the kids and made sure that we are comfortable at all times. If you go to this trip, and if you choose this company, you will be in good hands. Tanzania is beautiful and so are its people with greta heart and open arms to welcome you.
