Excellent Safari experience!
Kiliholidays Safari got everything you needed for a once in a lifetime african safari. From the tour transportation, tour guide, accommodation and even great halal food.
We would like to give our heartfelt appreciation to Johnny our tour guide for the trip for being so accommodating. And to chef Mohammed for providing us great full board meals.
Life is good ♡
Thank you Kiliholidays and Tanzania for the unforgettable experience.

Very reliable and helpful
Mack from Kiliholidays is very helpful and responsive which was great. We were picked up at the airport by Eduard - our driver and guide. I have read some positive references about Eduard before we booked the tour and they were correct. Eduard is a nice guy, very helpful, very well oriented and he did all he could to get us best views and experiences. He also seems to know a lot about the parks and life in Tanzania. Do not be shy and ask questions, he will be happy to talk, otherwise he will let you enjoy the tour in silence – whatever you wish :) I can definitely recommend Kiliholidays!

Amazing 4-day safari tour with Edward and Dani!!
We had the most amazing days with Kiliholidays Tours & Safaris. I would 100% recommend going with this tour operator. We booked at the office in Arusha and our safari tour could start the next day already. We were with 6 people and we went to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The first night we slept in a lodge and the other two nights we slept in tents. We only had to bring our clothes and toiletries, the rest was taken care of. Edward (our driver) was very kind and taught us a lot about all the animals. He really put effort in showing us as many animals as possible. We saw the big 5, the ugly 5, giraffes, zebras, and many more other animals. Especially the Ngorongoro crater was breathtaking. The food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared by our cook Dani was also very good and always more than enough. The car was comfortable despite the bumpy roads. Everything about this trip was great!

Professional
The whole safaritrip has been an adventure for me and my son, and Kiliholidays is a very serious company that has added to the positive experience. Their service is very good and they take care of their customers. Serengeti was a fantastic experience and Ngorongoro, or the garden of Eden, was breathtaking by its beauty and peacefulness. Thanks a lot, Killiholidays.

Family friendly tour operator
We had a very nice time with Kiliholidays Tours & Safari in Tanzania. Our two guides have fulfilled all our wishes. Already after the second day we had seen "The big five" and this not in the Serengeti. This shows the class of our guides Edward and Abraham who accompanied us to the right places in the parks and gave very interesting background information about the animals, plants and trees. The two were really great and I/we can only recommend them. Thank you again Edward and Abraham for the wonderful time between Christmas and New Year.

Excellent service, professional guides
We really lived safari to Mikumi National Park with Kiliholidays Tours & Safaris. Everything was smooth, guides were excellent and they were always thinking in a way that we as a group of 12 people, would feel us comfortable and happy. Everything prior the safari trip was smooth, answers came fast and my trust was gained from the beginning.
So we really liked their service and will recommend Kiliholidays Tours and Safaris to others!

Great Experience with Kiliholidays
We had an amazing safari experience in Tanzania with Kiliholidays! We did a 4-day safari that included the Serengeti, Tarangire, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide, Edward, was exceptional. He was an excellent driver who navigated the rough terrain with ease and always made sure we were safe. He also had a great eye for spotting animals and knew the best places to find them, which made our safari experience even more exciting. He was always friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying our trip.
We ended up having some flights change, which resulted in us needing to move around which days we were in which national parks. Edward and team were very reasonable in working with us and suggesting a revised plan, even though we were already mid-way through the trip.
Overall, we had an unforgettable trip, and I would highly recommend Kiliholidays Tours and Edward as a guide to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in Tanzania.

Professional and reliable.
Everything about this holiday was absolutely amazing. We were well looked after from the moment we stepped out of Kilimanjaro Airport. We had a four-day safari with our excellent driver and guide, Abraham. His knowledge of the animals and their habitats was impressive! We saw all the big five plus many more! Every day was packed with new impressions and we felt quite exhausted at the end of each day. All the lodges we stayed in were of high standard. I would highly recommend Kiliholidaystour for an unforgettable experience!

Kiliholidays is the real hidden gem of Tanzania. We chose it because it was an affordable option that provided a wonderful onboarding process. When we booked our safari we got a professional personalized itinerary with a shareable link for friends and family. Mack was wonderful in helping us book flights while in Tanzania and made us feel comfortable with the payment and logistics process.
Edward was everything you could hope for in a Safari guide. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made the trip more than what it would have been without him. The camaraderie we shared was not something you can find online or pay a premium price for. When I recommend safari in Tanzania to friends and family I specifically mention Kiliholidays by name. When we ran out of local currency, Edward was happy to front a couple shillings given that we were able to pay him back when we found an ATM. He also served as a liaison to the local environment and helped us navigate communicating with the local community and living in a novel environment. We really enjoyed spending time with him.
Mr. Mood was our private chef and was a delight. His food was not only delicious, but he was quick to take note of any dietary restricitons and had meals prepared for each of us that catered to our needs. Another pleasant personality, he made the trip that much richer. We were cracking jokes the whole time!
If you are considering Kiliholidays, you are considering a very good option.
