Amazing trip to Serengeti
We had a stunning trip to Serengeti. From the first contact with owner Mack communication was perfect. All our wishes were accommodate at any time. Our driver Thoma was not onöy having amazing wildlife knowledge and spotting skills but as well he always tried to avoid the crowds of other cars, what allowed ius to have a very private experience of Serengeti. Of course as well the stomac engineer Daniel did a fantastic job, the food was so so good... Thanks again to the whole crew for an unforgettable experience. We would definitely choose Kiliholidays Tours again.

Well-organized and itinerary exactly as described!
I am so glad we booked with Kiliholidays! Mack, the owner of the tour company, was excellent in communicating with me via email! He was quick to respond to all of my questions and concerns. We booked two tours: Mt. Kilimanjaro 6-day Marangu route and also a 3 night/4 day safari. Both were amazing and unforgettable experiences! For Mt. Kilimanjaro tour: what can I say, we LOVED our guides Paroko and Baracka!!! They were so friendly, encouraging, helpful and wonderful to talk to! Our porters and cook were also fantastic! Perhaps bring an extra blanket to keep you warm during the cold nights as the sleeping bags they provided could have been better, but other than that, we had a great time! For our safari, we went to Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Each park was beautiful and our guide, Thomas, was excellent! He was able to find so many animals for us. It was crazy how sharp his eye was! We saw the big 4 on the first day thanks to him! We stayed at Farm of Dreams Lodge and Tukaone Camp. WOW!!! Loved both!!! Loved the comfort of a wonderful hotel at Farm of Dreams Lodge and the awesome experience of “glamping” at Tukaone!!! Very glad we booked with Kiliholidays! Very transparent, trustworthy company that delievered what they promised in our discussions!

Very responsive--Kiliholidays took care of all the logistics & planning; highly recommended.
Our group of 3 HIGHLY recommends Edward as guide! He was fun, knowledgable & very responsive to our interests. (He even squeezed in an extra 1/2 trip to a coffee farm, just because we asked.) If you're lucky enough to get him, tell him we said "Jambo!"
Really like how Kiliholidays organized this 5 day tour, taking care of all logistics, including pick up from airport. Each night we stayed at a different location, & it was all very easy/well-planned. Even camp sites were more like "glamping", so no hardship on city folks or those in less-than-athletic shape. We saw a TON of animals each day! Seriously--leopards 4 days IN A ROW!

Trip of a life time
Kiliholidays tours is a great company who did an excellent job communicating and planning our trip to Tanzania. Mack and Edward were great host for the week safari. Our guide Edward is a world class person who goes out of his way to ensure that everyone is safe and comfortable during the various journey.
I would recommend kiliholidays tours to all my friends and family without a doubt. This trip was one of the greatest experiences of my life thanks to Edward.

Very good service. Picked up, drooped off and easy contact. We were looked after for our whole trip!
We had a great 4 day Safari in the Masai mara and got to see the big 5. The bus was really comfortable and our driver was top class. The company were really easy to contact, flexible and everything went smoothly! We would highly recommend them if you are thinking about a Safari tour. Thanks Kiliholidays.

exceptional on all points of view
The Kiliholidays team is very competent, always attentive to travelers, we had problems with our and plane and they came directly to our "rescue", it's really a great team totally dedicated. Regarding the safari, the guide was very attentive and gave us his experience as much as he could, the meals were excellent and the accommodation perfectly adapted, I recommend kiliholidays to all fans of adventure and thrills.

Great organization, very helpful, delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable staff
Their respond by Email and WhatsApp was really fast! They are very well organized and help you with everything. The payment by credit card worked well.
The tour was wonderful. Thomas our driver spoke perfect English and knew a lots of details about everything. Daniel our cook/stomach engineer prepared great food. He also built up oir tent so that we had more time to relax. We had booked a camping safari, but because one of the cottages at our first campsite was vacant we could use it.
They clearly exceeded our expectations.

Worth every penny!
Our 4-day camping safari was an experience my boyfriend and I will never forget! Not only did we see so many different animals on our game drives, but we also learned so much about each of them thanks to our driver and new friend, Godson! His humor and knowledge of the region made the trip extra special and we were so sad to say good-bye to him when he dropped us off at the airport. Our chef, Danny, made incredible food and kept us very well fed! Overall, this safari was amazing and surpassed our expectations - especially during the rainy/'off' season!
