Reliable, well organised and thoroughly enjoyable adventure.
Communications prior to our arrival were good, with clear instructions.Our driver was punctual, spoke good English and really looked after our needs for our 5 days around Lake Manyaro, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. He did his absolute best to make sure we saw as many of the animals and the big 5 as possible. We only missed out on the rhino, which is pretty rare, but lots of people fail to see that one. The other animals we saw were up close and plentiful, it was unbelievable. The hotels were all good and the camp on the Serengeti is something we will never forget, for all the right reasons. The jeep was a little old and had seen better days, but it was unstoppable and reliable and it's age kind of added to the adventure. I would confidently recommend Kiliholidays as well organised and very good value for money.

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.

Great safari professionals. Amazing experience. Fully recommended!
Very good service and attention. The drivers are very experienced and will be able to provide you the tupe of experience you seek for. Full flexibility on demand if needed. Our driver thomas managed to spot a rhino while many failed to even find one. The food and service was great. Good food and all obtained from local markets to contribute local economy. The guide to kilimanjaro hike was also very nice and welcoming. Overall I fully recommend this safari and kilimanjaro tour operator for all types of adventures. Just send them an email and ask. Hakuna matata.

Great safari, superb game guide
We used Kiliholidays for our trip into the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and lake Manyara. Thomas was our guide and not only was he a superb guide but great company too on our 4 day trip.
We saw more than we expected, loads of cheetah, lions, buffalo, hippos, elephants and a wonderful black rhino. And of course lots of other creatures and birds too
Mack has always been very quick to answer our questions and his company offers a very personal service so we would highly recommend

Amazing Serengeti safari
We came with my wife on a 5 days/4nights safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorngoro and lake manyare NP. There was a prepayment by bank transfer and the rest of the amount was payed cash in Tanzania to Mack, the owner of the company, who personaly met us on our first day. First and last days we slept in a luxury lodge with swimmingpool. The 2 nights in the Serengeti we slept in very comfortable and luxury tent camps.We booked this holidays with Kiliholidays because they had good reviews, and good prices. Our guide did a good job and fullfilled all our wishes, if we wanted to see some specific annimal, he tried to find it. Overall we had a wonderfull experience with Kiliholidays and we would highly recommend them for your safari.

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.
