The best tour with best driver.
I traveled to Tanzania 5 nights and 6 days with kiliholidaystours in Arusha. They planned all the schedules and all the schedules were perfect. I really liked the luxury tent and lodge. There was romance everywhere and I enjoyed the beautiful landscape. The driver is very professional. He found the animals very well and always on safety when he drove. I enjoyed the best honeymoon that time. It's the best. Thank you very much.👍

Mack (Organiser), Thomas (Driver) and Daniel (Cook) did a great job! We had a wonderful time! Thx!
Everything was organised really well.
Great communication with Mack: He answered quickly and responded to all of my messages and questions.
Thomas did a great Job with driving: He told us a lot of interesting things about the nature and animals. He stopped and gave us enough time to look at the things we wanted to and took us to lovely spots. I felt safe while he was driving.
Daniel made delicious meals. He also changed our meal plans without any problems, even though I forgot to mention, that we're Vegetarian. Thanks and sorry!
The whole safari was a once in a lifetime experience. I would recommend Kiliholidays to everyone!

Our tour operator was Mac and he was wonderful. He created and completed the tour comfortably.
The tour was nicely organized with details. We had a private chef with us for the entire duration of the tour (20th july to 24th july 2024). We have visited Tarangire, Serengeti central, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We have stayed in Fanaka camp site, Nayani camp site and Simba camp site. All camp sites were good with water facility and washrooms. We had all the safari drives which was mentioned in the itinerary. Mac was available whenever we contacted them.

Wonderful experience with Kiloholidays
It was a wonderful experience with Kiloholidays during my visit to witness the wilderness of Africa. The safari game drive, along with the accompanying guide was beyond expression.

Ecstatic tour experience in a mesmerizing country Tanzania
We are absolutely thrilled to share our experiences during our travel in the northern Tanzania. In a nutshell, we will forever cherish the fascinating and unforgettable memories while traveling to Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara national parks, with Kiliholidays. From the day one (pick up from Nairobi and transport to Arusha) to day five (Arusha to Nairobi), including all the safaris, food, stay and other logistics, we were quite satisfied with the services provided by Kiliholidays. The driver-cum-guide was very professional yet absolutely knowledgeable and understanding and helped us every possible way to experience the best of these nature and wilderness safaris. The food quality was good enough for us and the sincerity of the cook was commendable. Despite our budget tour, we had some thrilling experiences with satisfactory amenities provided during this tour.
I would certainly recommend people to book their safaris with Kiliholidays, especially if they are on budget (or luxury as well). We sincerely thank Kiliholidays for providing us once in a lifetime experience in this amazing country.

Very good we were able to appreciate the beauty of the landscapes
In terms of quality/price, very good, we spent four superb days where we were able to appreciate the landscapes and the different species
We had the pleasure of seeing a scene of the lion 🦁engusting its prey a few meters from us, we were alone. We thank Thomas for having had this privilege

Breach of trust and stole our money
We had excellent service from the guide and the supervisor on site but sadly we add a really bad experience with Mack. We add to pay 1400$ US more on site because if we did not our safari could not happen and we already paid a deposit and the plane ticket. It was suppose to be refund by the end of the trip. We did trust Mack because we already did a safari in 2019 and we as a great Experience but this time we happen to be stoled 1400$ us so we really dont recommend this company

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm genuinely sorry to hear about your experience, especially since you had a positive one with us in 2019. We strive to deliver excellent service, and it's clear we fell short this time.
Regarding the additional $1400 payment, I understand how frustrating and unexpected this must have been. Rest assured WE HAVE DEPOSITED THE MONEY DIRECT TO YOUR CARD as per the itinial agreement, please check with your bank as we talked early this week, we take these issues seriously, and I'll look into what happened on our end to resolve the situation.
Please allow me to personally follow up with Accounts and our finance team to ensure this matter is resolved promptly. Your trust is important to us, and we value your continued support.
I'll keep you updated and make sure this situation is corrected.
Best regards, Mack
