Organized
Kiliholidays, superbly organized custom safaris are the finest way to experience the exhilaration of being on a wildlife safari in Tanzania. I know of no finer adventure than being in the wilds of Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara or in Tarangire National Park. Our guides clearly love their jobs and the depth of their knowledge and their sense of fun will impress anyone. Our guides were consummate professionals. Their energetic dedication to finding superb wildlife-viewing adventures and to teaching about the natural beauty was legendary. Whether you are simply standing in the back of the Land Cruiser to marvel at an animal, or are working with your camera, video or binoculars, our guides were constantly attentive to our comfort, to the environment around us and to the angle of each person's view. They taught us constantly as we traveled through Tanzania and you will find them to be entertaining and skilled.
Tanzania: Great coming back
Thanks kiliholidays Tours it was a great experience we had from you guys.
An experience of a lifetime. Felt thoroughly looked after and catered to.
We saw the most amazing wildlife and were privileged with the vast bush knowledge of our guide Godson, and the love of the Tanzania for their landscape.
We made the vacation to climb Kilimanjaro and then the 7days camping in the wild.
When I was searching for the tour operator, I really wanted to stick with one company for both the climb and the safari. I also didn't want the hassle of figuring out how to get to the lodge, where to get food, do the research on which places to stay away from... the trip with Kiliholidays solved all that.
When we landed at the airport, Godson was there, waited for us for several hours when our layover flight was delayed, and drove us to our first-Arusha crown hotel. This set the pace for the entire trip: we never had to worry about our transportation and our itinerary was pretty much handled for the entire 16-days safari.
This was budget camping safari, as many of the other tours were much more expensive. But we had excellent service and great accommodations throughout. When we were climbing Kili, I noticed that some tours had portable bathrooms that would be set up at most of the stops. We did not have these and had to use the common latrines with everyone else. They weren't always pleasant.
But overall, it was an amazing experience. Our mountain guide Gabriel (Angel) was great and did everything in his power to make sure all of us safely and successfully reached the summit. Our safari guide Godson was very knowledgeable and flexible in terms of where to go and all the wildlife.
Everyone, everywhere, was so genuinely radiant and generous, and we are in love with the Tanzania people!
Thanks to Kiliholidays for good guidance and organizing a wonderful safari to us.

Excellent service
We recently arrived back to Arusha from a beautiful trip we made to Tarangire and Ngorogoro crater.
Thank you Kiliholidays Tours for all the wonderful things we had during trip.
I will tell you our whole experience was thoughtfully & professionally prepared for us, as they coordinated a very multipart tour for us.
They have different kind of safari programs: from budget till luxury, but always with the best pricing.
A lot of times we were among the first to spot beautiful wildlife in action.
The food was nice and a committed on professional handled. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime was real truly something we will never stop thinking about.
Asante sana!

Four days with Kiliholidays
Before my trip to Tanzania I mailed many tour oerators to find perfect safari for me and my friend and at the end I decided to book safari with Kiliholidays Tours & Safaris. The communication with Mack was without any problems. After I came to Arusha we met in his office and agreed all details about safari. There weren't any hidden cost and any bad surprises. Our trip went smoothly exactly like in a programme I got before. That was budget safari and we were supposed to join to other tourists but there weren't any other clients so we had private safari and the price didn't change. The service was really good - competent driver/guide and really talented cook. We spent wonderful time and discovered a beauty of Tanzania.
