Amazing!
We booked 4days safari tour via Kiliholidays Tour.
The manager of travel agency was trying to satisfy all we wanted and we were satisfied, too. He came to us, when we had just arrived at our hotel after finishing safari tour, to hear review from us. These kinds of efforts can be upgraded quaility of tours from Kiliholiday Tour.
We were also happy with our guide(driver) and cook because they were enthusiastic about their duty. Guide had a lot of knowledge about animals, plants, etc. and foods made by cook were really delicious.
I already miss my days in Tanzania. Hope to visit again :)

A horrible journey and attitude
I regret the day I got in touch with this company. It was my expensive and pointless sport in my life - walk to Mandara Hut. 380 dollars (for 2 persons) for bringing you to a place from where you can not see anything beautiful.
The terrible experience began when it was time to start a new day with new adventures. We got up early in the morning to have breakfast before Kili Holidays arriving to the hotel to pick-up us. They arrived instead of the time (at 7:00) with an hour's delay (at 8:00), and only when they were called. There were 3 men in the car: a driver, a guide and a person who was collecting money. Nothing was arranged. We all went out to lunch boxes. It was only then that the journey began (from Arusha for more than two hours until Mandarin trail).
When we get there, a guide was no money to pay for the entrance. I need to pay this, although it was included in the price (we get back money when we arrive, but it shows the attitude). Upon starting the route, the guide said that we could not get up to the end, because we had to be back in time (although they were the ones who delayed). We went up to Mandara Hut, because we climbed quickly (there's nothing to see). The guide does not even lead us to the magnificent waterfall 200 meters from Route (the Mandara waterfall). I only noticed this when we returned (watching a photo on the Internet).
On the way home, I heard that the guide told the driver about the company and then I understood that none of them was working at Kiliholidays. They have been taken from the edge at the last minute.
Upon returning to hotel, a man who at start of the day charged money from us, was waiting us. (To make sure about how we liked, but in reality - he did not care. He thought he would get some tip, or something).
No one spoke to us either during the trip or during the climb.
We paid a lot of money just to be able to climb the beautiful trail and see and find out exactly nothing.
This company is badly organized.

Excellent from start to finish
Communication was excellent. Mack was so very helpful in helping us to plan our trip. John our driver/guide was friendly and his knowledge had no limits, he did everything he could to make our trip truly amazing. The accommodation and game drives far outlived our expectations.

Magic Serengeti
We spend 5 days around Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Mack was funny, polite and very generous with us.
Thomas, our driver, was simply the best: great knowledge of area and animals, funny, always quit and very polite. He delivered every requests from us. He let us see a Leopard as close as possible!
When we turn back to Serengeti we'll ask for Thomas again!

Great service, accomodation and experience
Tanzania has a very good standard in their safaris and this was of course no exception. Mack has been an amazing host. He helped us from the very first minute we arrived in Arusha. He drove us to the hotel, explained us how the trips is going to be and helped us with the planning for the future transportations in the country. The car was good, in good conditions, comfortable. The accommodation was good, clean and we had a great entertainment in the evening in the camping place. Tarangeri was a great park, we could see big 4 in one afternoon and then Ngorongoro Crater is something that no one should miss. The lunch was ok with a little dessert.. We had Lorenzo as our guide, he maybe needs to explain a little bit more what we see in front but we were safe with him all the time. The planning was as scheduled, on time and we were lucky with the weather that we could see and experience amazing things. I do recommend Kiliholidays Tours and of course Mack as a great host!
