Good service with cost effective price
Review of Tours by Locals (Kiliholidays)
I recently had the pleasure of booking a tour through Tours by Locals (also known as Kiliholidays), and I must say, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.
From the outset, the communication with our local guide was excellent. They reached out promptly after booking to discuss our preferences and tailor the tour to our interests. They were responsive to all our questions, which made us feel valued and excited about the upcoming experience.
The level of service we received during the tour was top-notch. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly personable. They went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves, providing insights and stories that enriched our understanding of the locations we visited. It felt more like exploring with a friend than a typical guided tour.
In terms of value for money, I found the pricing to be quite reasonable given the personalized nature of the tour. The small group size allowed for a more intimate experience. Additionally, the insights and local tips shared by our guide made the cost worthwhile.
The tour was well-organized and reliable. Our guide arrived on time and had all the necessary arrangements in place, which allowed us to focus on enjoying the day without worrying about logistics. This reliability is crucial, especially when traveling to new places.
Overall, I highly recommend Tours by Locals (Kiliholidays) for anyone looking to enhance their travel experience with personalized tours. The combination of excellent communication, outstanding service, great value, and reliability made for a memorable adventure. I can’t wait to book my next tour with them!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.👍
