Amazing experience!
Without doubt the most memorable 5 days we had in Tanzania. Thomas was very kind and helpful even at the start of our safari. Not to mention the extrem flexibility he provided during our safari mission - due to an early flight he completely rearranged our plan so that we can see everything we planned!
On the first day in Tarangire National Park we experienced one of our greatest moments with elephants. He is truly passionate about them and extremely proficient handling any situation with elephants (Probably one of the best among the guides). As we continued our journey thought Serengeti he also proved his punctuality and best service to complete our mission even to tight deadlines. Even if circumstances may not allow the best experience on a safari, he managed to chase our leopard at the end in Serengeti. Finally, on our last day, we also managed to see the big five in Ngorongoro where we even saw 3 rhinos separately (including a calf).
Having this short time limit and far distance between the parks, we were absolutley amazed at the end how Thomas arranged and managed the whole unforgettable safari trip we had within these 5 days.
Thank you for the great hospitality and we are looking forward to returning for another trip with Thomas in the near future.

Very well organised safari. Excellent driver and chef for our 7 days safari. A lot of fun with them too.
We saw amazing places and so many animals, including lionesses with babies, lions, cheetahs, leopards thanks to our brilliant driver.
Strongly recommended.

got the big five
It was a great experience and especially our Guide Hussein made the trip perfect running. Communication was perfect running and from the pick-up at the airport till the sadly saying "good bye" - perfect running. We could skip the tour and make/fullfill our wishes. Accomodations was brilliant and still talking about the tent nights in the Serengeti. Highly recommend Kiliholidays Tours & Safaris for the Tansania-experience. Thanks a lot and wish you all the best!!!!

perfect budget safari
Me and seven of friends had a great safari together with Kiliholidays. We went for seven days with two super drivers and one cook. We slept in tents with mastress and duvet. We visited the serengity, ngorongoro crater, tarangire, lake manyara, lake eyasi. It was wonderfull, beautiful landscapes, delicious meals, great explainations of the wildlife by the drivers. It was also very affordable. I recommand kiliholydays because they are lokking for perfection even at small price and they have succeded to make this week one of the best of our lives. Thanks Mack, Edward, Steven and Innocent.

Mnt Meru & 5 day safari
My girlfriend and I had a great experience with kiliholidays. We arranged the safari and Mnt meru trekking with touroperator Mack.
He was very clear and detailed about the costs and answered quickly all our answers. The only disadvantage was that we had to pay a great amount in cash. After a conversation with Mack we came to a solution. Futhermore both the safari guide and mount meru guide suited our expectations. Kiliholidays arranged also a two night stay at the Venice hotel, a 2 two star hotel in the middle of the center which actually exceded our exptations.

One Day Walking and Driving Safari Arusha National Park
Communication with the company was excellent. They confirmed and the guide picked us up at the hotel on time. The Walking Safari with the ranger was terrific. We walked for a couple of hours through the bush to see the giraffes, buffalo, monkeys. The ranger explained the different trees and shrubs and took us to a beautiful waterfall. When we got back to the guide we went to see the lake and have a lovely lunch on a hill overlooking the lake. Food was very good. The rest of the afternoon was a drive. unfortunately there was not a lot of wide life to see. on the way bacj to our hotel the guide took us for a tour through the town of Arusha to see the markets and the building. It was a very enjoyable day.

We had an awsome time at our Safari.
We went on a 8 day safari and had a really good time. Everything was perfectly pre- arranged. The only obstacles were with the payment because the online payment didn´´ t really work at this time so we had to bring some of the money in cash. But also this was no big deal when we arrived, it all turned out very easily. Our driver Steve was really awsome. He had a really good knowledge about the country, the animals and everything you would ask him. The lodges we stayes in were all really good. We liked the tented camp inside the Serengeti best. All in all highly recommended company!

Great experience with Kiliholydays
Great experience. We had a 7 days safari program (camping in tent) including Tarangire, Serengheti, Ngorongoro, Hazahabe tribe and Manyara lake.
The proposed program fully met our expectations. In particular, we appreciated the two nights in Serengheti which gave us the opportunity of extensive game drives during sunrise and sunset times. Our driver (Thomas) was excellent: accurate and well-prepared driver with a lot of experience. He made us see many animals (all the big five plus many others), giving us interesting information (we learnt a lot) and being a funny mate during our breaks. Our chef (Innocent) was very professional and accurate with a lot of experience too. He cooked many delicious dishes, including African cuisine (something that we really appreciated) and he always kept an eye on our preferences. The head of the company (Mack) organized everything very well.
The camping in tent requires a little bit of spirit of adaptation but it is very rewarding in terms of nature experience, especially in such a beautiful country like Tanzania.

Amazing first safari experience
4 friends and I did a 8 days tours safari around Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Natron...
Beyond the magical landscapes and wildlife,
Mack, the owner, showed real flexibility during the organization of the safari and was very helpful at the end when we had problems with our return flight to Dar Es Salaam.
Tumsifu, the driver, and Innocente, the stomach engineer, were so friendly and competent, everything was perfect.
Do not hesitate, go for Kiliholidays Tours (and ask for Tumsifu and Innocente if possible...)

Very professional driver, excellent accomodation, wonderful places
Safari has been amazing. The place where we stayed, the Farms of Dreams lodge, was stunning.
We got picked up on time at Arusha airport, first day at Tarangire park, we could spot Antilopes, Elephants, Wildebeests, Zebras, Giraffes, Velvet Monkeys and from far away also a Cheetah. There are facilities at the entrace of the park. Tumsifu, our guide, has always been very professional, friendly and ready to answer all our questions. Packed lunch food was good.
Second day, Ngorongoro crater was very nice. The place itself is gorgeous, and full of animals. A lot of wildebeests and zebras, but we could also spot lions, hippos and a rhino from far away.
Third day, lake Manyara, very nice, more rainforest environment. Close encounter with elephants and baboons.
Farms of Dreams lodge was fantastic. People are very friendly and make you feel always good. I'd really like to be back there.
Only 1 little trouble in the beginning, dealing with payments. We would have liked to pay by card or bank transfer, but system was not properly working and they told us that the safari was supposed to be paid in cash only few days before leaving. But that got fixed easily.
