Great safari, professional driver, customized schedule - the best price!
Our guides, Tony from Kenya and Bakali from Tanzania, are professional. They do always find an animal far away while driving and get the perfect position quickly thus we can make a wonderful shoot. Under their knowledgeable instruction, we can recognize many African wildlife from it now! During the 9 days game, we spot the Big 5 and many kinds of African birds, even we were at the scene which lions hunt for buffalo! This is awesome!
Our guides are good drivers as well, they conquer the muddy roads which leave some damaged vehicles on. And our chefs are considerate, they designed the good meals that every dish we ate always better than before till the end of tour.
This is an unforgettable safari game! Makes me strong will to visit Africa again!

Really good organized kilimanjaro Tour
We (couple, 29 years old) had a great experience with our Team and the Rest of the group at the machame Route. The Team really took a lot efforts to make us happy, more than we expected at a Mountain Tour. Keep on :)

Amazing experience
Kiliholidays tour is the perfect agency if you want to discover the real Tanzanian hospitality. We meet our driver, Thomas, at the airport, at 0:00 am, so, really late, we were really tired so after 45 minutes drive, we arrived at our hotel (included in the tour price). It was comfortable, with hot shower and morning breakfast.
At 8:30 we meet Thomas again and our new friend Daniel, our "stomach engineer".
Thanks to Thomas we meet all the Big 5 and a lot of animals in the serengeti, in Ngorongoro and in all the others games reserve that we visited.
We also joined a cultural tour with the Hadzabe tribe, we went hunting with bow and arrow with our translator, Tom, that translate from Hadza to English ( Hadza is a language use in that tribe, where people use to clap theyr tongue in order to communicate).
After this last adventure we come back to Arusha and in our hotel.
All the safari was by camp site. The camps are safe and really clean, even if they are pubblic. Kiliholidays, but also the other company, respect the tourist and, above all, the enviromet and the animals.
I just want to say thank you to Thomas and Daniel, that allowed us to discover Tanzania, and furthermore we discovered 2 beautifull people really professional and funny. I hope to see them again in my life

Great Experience, flexible arrangements
Edward our driver and David our cook collected myself and my wife from our Arusha accommodation early on day one. We were the only ones on this safari. We visited three parks, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Our first night was in a fixed tent with toilet and shower whereas the other three were under canvas alongside other safari tours sharing facilities. David managed magnificent meals cooked from ingredients taken with us and made on a single gas burner in the communal kitchens. We had more than enough to eat.
The safari allowed us to see all big five animals close up from our extending roof six seat Landrover, often lions, giraffe and zebra were just a few feet away. Edward made sure that we saw everything possible. Ngorongoro crater was most impressive.
We were at our request taken to the western gate to continue our African adventure to be put on board a bus to Mwanza where we caught the train to Dar and continued our travels to Zanzibar.
An excellent trip especially with Edwards animal knowledge, good spoken English and David's cooking.

Excellent , Fantastic guide. Special thanks to Thomas for making trip a memorable experience!!!
The service lived up to expectations. KhiliHolidays ensured that we were informed about every little detail prior to the event.
The only thing I wish is that this package included Mt Kilimanjaro tour instead of Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara does not add any new perspective after visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

Worth every penny!
Our 4-day camping safari was an experience my boyfriend and I will never forget! Not only did we see so many different animals on our game drives, but we also learned so much about each of them thanks to our driver and new friend, Godson! His humor and knowledge of the region made the trip extra special and we were so sad to say good-bye to him when he dropped us off at the airport. Our chef, Danny, made incredible food and kept us very well fed! Overall, this safari was amazing and surpassed our expectations - especially during the rainy/'off' season!

Great organization, very helpful, delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable staff
Their respond by Email and WhatsApp was really fast! They are very well organized and help you with everything. The payment by credit card worked well.
The tour was wonderful. Thomas our driver spoke perfect English and knew a lots of details about everything. Daniel our cook/stomach engineer prepared great food. He also built up oir tent so that we had more time to relax. We had booked a camping safari, but because one of the cottages at our first campsite was vacant we could use it.
They clearly exceeded our expectations.

exceptional on all points of view
The Kiliholidays team is very competent, always attentive to travelers, we had problems with our and plane and they came directly to our "rescue", it's really a great team totally dedicated. Regarding the safari, the guide was very attentive and gave us his experience as much as he could, the meals were excellent and the accommodation perfectly adapted, I recommend kiliholidays to all fans of adventure and thrills.
