Marvelous experiences for perfect honeymoon.
This is necessary tour for the people who visit to Kilimanjaro.
It is my first time to tour in Africa, so I couldn't think about this circumstance.
Very difficult to take a taxi, find good restaurant, safety places. Many African is watching and approaching us and saying something in Swahili.
Relatively small Eastern people, like us, would be a little scared. So we didn't do anything when we arrived in Kilimanjaro hotel.
We got many helps from Mack and Guide Thomas.
Before tour, I asked them to stop by bank and telecom agency for purchasing SIMCARD and money-exchange.
And also asking to go to shopping center to buy SDCARD even go to PIZZAHUT.
We really appreciated all the things.
During tour, Guide Thomas was making an effort to find various animals and take good experiences.
Because of him, we could get so many photos and videos.
And then he dropped us to Arusha Airport, even if the tour had been finished one day before.
So we could save the Taxi fee and time. (Actually I was worried about taking taxi in Arusha, because I could find only 1~2 taxis in one day)
I will post this experiences in my blog and share with many Korean people.

An amazing climb
I had a fantastic climb with this group, they exceeded my expectations and I made it to the top of Kilimanjaro!
Because of travel restrictions I made the decision quite last minute to come to Tanzania. I had done some planning and preparation but found the company professional, helpful, and my guide is literally the reason I made it to the top of the mountain. The porters were fantastic and really fun to journey with. I ended up on a solo climb which worked out very well.
This journey is not for the faint hearted but it is incredible to stand on the roof of Africa and conquer the mountain.
Amazing, exceeded all my expectations. Really knowledgeable guide (Thomas). Perfect.
Everything went to plan regarding the logistics. Met at the airport and Started the safari next day. Blown away by the whole experience, saw some amazing things and learned so much from our guide Thomas.

Great, The guides Tumaini & Raymond were great and taught me some Swahili on my 8 day hike.
The trek exceeded my expectations. The guides were professional and punctual. The porters ensured we got good spots to sleep.

Essential Safe Safari
We have really professional guide Edward, comfortable offroad Land Rover and a lot of Africa! We did big African 5 except for leopard, we have been with 2 small childs and they enjoyed all Safari.
We had some questions about food, and we saw real improvement.
Reasonable price for really safe and fascinating adventure.

Always camera ready, Its Magical !!
I couldn't be so much happier with the services offered by Kiliholidays. It was very easy from the beginning, starting with communication. Mark was really good with setting all this up for us.
My guide, Joachim was amazing !! I would definitely recommend asking for him when you book your next trip. He is reliable, smart, well spoken and he will help you find all the animals in that jungle. He is funny with a good sense of humor you will have fun.
Thanks guys for making this trip a TRIP OF A LIFETIME !

lovely experience
We just got back from a lovely 4 day trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
We booked the tour only 2 days in advance, but communication and coordination with Mack was very smooth and uncomplicated.
So arriving at JRO airport our guide Laurian was already waiting for us and took care of us very well until dropping us off again at the airport a couple days later. E.g. providing cold drinks, plugs or wifi in the car.
We enjoyed to explore the nature with Laurian and he has great knowledge and a great sense for spotting all different kind of animals. Also he is humble, funny and a great driver.
The scenery and diversity of animals was mind blowing and amongst many others we got to see the big 5, giraffes, crocodiles and thousands of zebras.
We had 2 nights at the Farm of Dreams Lodge and 1 night at Embalakai Camps, both being beautiful places with warm-hearted people. To our surprise we even got an additional hotel in Arusha, which we did not expect.
We would definitely recomment Kiliholidays and were very happy to have chosen them.
Asante sana Laurian and Mack, it was a pleasure meeting you :)

Melchior is the best safari guide
We had an amazing time with Melchior in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. He really loves his job and he is always taking the extra step and tries to find something interesting. For example we saw cheetah hunting a rabbit and lions hunting zebras. And we saw these actions because he was willing to take a risk and take us somewhere special. Honestly he is super amazing and very very smart guy. Definitely the best safari guide you can ask for! We were super satisfied and are definitely recommending him to all our friends. Thank you Melchior!

Great experience to see animals in wildlife
Our guide was Thomas, who showed us and gave more information about animals that we met. We catched the big African five! It was amazing. Family of 20 elephants were on watering and then were passing by our car just in one meter. Breathtaking moment.
We fought with monkeys when the tried to steal our food.
We booked safari trip a 3 weeks before, communication with Mack were clear and polite. He met us in airport, and then we started our 3 days safari journey.
Thanks our guide Thomas for everything!
