Thank you for the incredible safari experience!!
We were a group of 7 friends (young group 25-30 years old) for the first time in Africa and, for most of us, the first time seeing animals at such close range!
I contacted several tour operators looking for the best possible offer for our first safari experience and Kiliholidays by far was the best one. It is a perfect tour to do as a first timer as it's very much affordable and the quality of service you receive is outstanding!
We did 3 days tour - Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park! We saw multiple animals: elephantes, lions, zebras, hippos...and we had a veeeery especial encounter with a BLACK RHINO! It was definetly the highlight of our trip.
All of this would not have been possible without our incredible tour guide Edwardo that always waited for us with a smile, answered every question and always looked for the best spots to find animals without many cars around us :) Big big shout out to you! Congrats :)
Staying at Farm of Dreams was another highlight, besides the amazing infrastructure, the tasty breakfast and dinners, the staff was incredible! Always suuper nice and helpful with a hige smile on their faces!
Once again this was the trip of our lives and it would have not been possible without Kiliholidays :)
Best of luck to you guys and again a big congrats to Edwardo!

An Amazing Adventure
I planned this four-day safari for myself and my two children (6 and 9) with short notice after other plans had fallen through. Kiliholidays communicated very well and worked with me on a couple issues to accommodate us. Abraham, our tour operator was fantastic. He kept us safe, informed, and happy. He was extremely knowledgeable of the wildlife and had a knack for finding the animals and positioning the vehicle perfectly. Abraham interacted with the kids very well and catered to their needs. We were lucky to see every type of animal that we had hoped for and then some. The lodging was much better than expected and the food was well-planned. There is a lot of driving to and from the parks each day (except between the 2nd and 3rd day) and I feel like a different route or different lodging locations could reduce this. For parents, if I were to take the children again, I would probably do three days instead of four as the kids were pretty tired by the last day, however, we still had a great time all four days. Overall, the kids and I had a blast and I want to thank Kiliholidays for all the praises I received from my kids!

I will go again with them!
We choosed KiliHolidays because it is a local company and therefore it is a way to invest your money for tanzania people. The result: we loved the service and company of KiliHolidays. Richard was our guide for one day to the mountain, Thomas was our guide during the safari for about a week and David the chef that cooked delicious food during the whole trip. They were all very welcoming, kind and friendly and what I valued a lot, is that they have absolute respect for their country and its wildlife. I could see that KiliHolidays is an experienced and respected safari tour in Arusha and I absolutely recommend them. If we ever come back to Tanzania, we will for sure contact them again.

Fantastic experience, great guide!
We had a four day tour. Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro. The richness of the wildlife was fantastic, our guide Laurian was a really good guy, had lots of knowledge and was a good driver! We had a life experience!!
If I would do it again I would stay all nights inside the reserves to get more time for gaming and not spend so many hours in the car. That is of course a matter of how much you can spend. It gets much more expensive.
Don’t forget to bring payment in dollars. We had lots of trouble because we hadn’t. Card doesn’t work like home and we lost valuable time because of it.

Incredible journey through wildlife of Tanzania with Kiliholidays and the guide Laurian.
Organizing our safari in Tanzania I contacted over 30 operators and I was surprised by how diverse the offers were. So, I knew about the habit of bargaining in Tanzania but apart from that many tour operators started importunately and intrusively calling me on WhatsApp trying to sell their safari. Usually, they were shooting exorbitant prices and expecting me to bite. Having this as a background I really liked the communication with Mack from Kiliholidays. It was straight to the point, rational prices and no junk messaging. That made Kiliholidays stand out from the crowd from the beginning.
We contracted a three-day safari: Lake Manyara N.P., Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire N.P.. At all times everything went as agreed and expected. We were received upon our arrival to Arusha airport and transferred to the safari. The safari itself was an incredible experience that changed our view and perception of wildlife. All the documentary-style images were casted to our gaze and made alive.
All this was made possible by our guide Laurian. First, he is a great driver. At all time we felt safe. He drives very smooth and nicely, so we never felt dizzy. Second, he knows everything about the Tanzanian wildlife. We learned a lot from him. He also explained about the Maasai people and the organization of their tribes. Recognizing our interest in it he organized a visit to a real Maasai tribe which we enjoyed a lot. And as last but not least, a part of being a professional guide who showed and explained the essence and pure beauty of his country, Laurian is a person who listens. All the questions we asked were answered, all the requests we made were accomplished. With no need to remind.
Lauiran is exactly the guide you expect to have, I highly recommend requesting him.
