Quick in responding and tailored the trip according to our wishes.nice accomodations suggested
We had an amazing holiday. Everything was well planned and we spent the night in wonderful locations, especially the ones in the parks or just out of them. Just the day hike at Kilimanjaro was a bit in a rush, but still worth it. Our guide Gasper was a great companion: he was always helpful and knowledgeable about the animals and where to find them. The last three days with a night at Maramboi(if you go there do the walk with the Masai guide), Kilimanjaro and amani cultural turism were great since they allowed us to walk in the lush Tanzania nature, close to animals. Indeed the only drawback of the safaris is that in the parks you have to stay in the car the whole time so we recommend planning also some additional activities if you want to be more in contact with the nature.
The tour company itself was very quick in responding at all time, and they tailored the trip according to our wishes. This was the reason we chose them since we organized the trip only 15 days ahead. Honestly we were a bit worried by all the 5 star review, but everything turned out to be as good as expected.
Amazing, sincere team.
The team at Kilamanjaro adventure safari club were wonderful to work with in making me and my friends safari dream come true. Booking was straight forward and although we booked 5 months in advance they remained in contact up until we arrived.The owner Mr Makoninde came to meet us the day we arrived to give us a break down of the itinerary and expectations. The accommodations they booked for us were superb, especially Eileens inn and the ilbouri lodges. These places were beautiful places to stay in and the staff were so kind and welcoming.
Our driver Mwapunda was excellent from the time he picked us up from the airport until we left. He was attentative and went above and beyond to make us comfortable, safe and ensure we enjoyed our safari experience to see the big five. We were about to head out of Tarangire park when he turned us back to make sure we did not miss a pride of 7 lions that had just made a kill.
This experience was worth every penny. So much wonderful memories made and would definitely book another tour with Kilamanjaro adventure safari team again. Highly recommended!
I would like to thank Mr. Makoninde, Rajab and our wonderful driver and friend Mwapunda for blessing us with an amazing life changing experience. We hope to do this again with your team soon.
Asante Sana!

An unforgettable trip of a lifetime thanks to the staff of Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club.
Truly, the safari was an amazing experience. Our guide, Emｍanuel, was charming with a big smile, and he had an incredible eye for finding animals and knowledge of them. The big 5 completed in the first 2 days(very lucky! and Happy!).
One day we had a vehicle problem, of course that was not the fault of the operator or the guide and was resolved on the same day, the team of guides on site were supportive and enabled us to continue the trip and enjoy it. It was even an opportunity to meet another guide, Denis, for an afternoon, he was also very nice.
Office staff, Prince, was also very professional, quick to respond and accurate about inquiries and booking process.
In total, I assure that the operator and the guides are trustworthy, friendly, and able to handle even in case of an unexpected happening, they have a lot of experience to make the guests enjoy.
Big thanks to all Kilimanjaro crew, and hope to come back there soon.

Our tour guide Vincent was amazing knowledgeable and friendly we enjoyed a lot with him on our safari
The trip was amazing because we got to see almost all animals that were there. Elephant sighting was highlight as we were able to see a whole family up close. Lunch and water are provided so it makes the trip easier. We stopped at some places for pictures when it was possible and our guide took many nice photos for us and was very helpful. The accommodation was amazing and incredible location. Food was great at the Eileens lodge and the other camp in the Serengeti. Definitely recommend to take the comfort package with Vincent as your guide. They are very good people and experienced also.you will get alot of knowledge about the places, people , customs and animals that u see.

Just wow!!
'Karibu Rafiki' which means 'Welcome my friend' is not only said, but lived by the guys from Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. From the first minute we got along great with our guides Alex and Gasper, who picked us up from the airport. After an overnight stay in the lodge in Arusha, we set off with 2 land cruisers to the Tarangeri National Park. After long planning and lots of friends, the time had finally come. We saw zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, ostriches, gazelles, pumbas and of course elephants, bulls, jaguars and lions. We loved it! We always felt safe with Alex, we received a lot of information about animals, the country and culture, and of course we couldn't miss one or the other Swahili lesson. In the following days we visited the Serengeti National Park for 2 days, slept in luxury lodges in the middle of the park and were allowed to hear the sound of the Serengeti. On the 4th day of the safari we were allowed to visit the picturesque Ngorogoro Crater, which can only be described with one word 'WOW'. The next day we visited a local coffee farmer, who introduced us to his way of making coffee and invited us to a traditional lunch. Saying goodbye at the airport was very difficult. It was an incredibly intense time that we will always remember. I would like to thank Alex and Gasper from the bottom of my heart and I hope that many more people will be able to experience Tanzania like we did!

Helpful, friendly and accommodating
We found Kilimanjaro adventure Safari club on Safari bookings with good reviews. We contacted them and they answered all our questions. They were very accommodating and even helped organise a cake for my nephew’s birthday. Very good value safari package for money and it was perfect for our budget.
The accommodations chosen were outstanding.
Alex our guide was great and patient with my niece and nephew (6&8) they had loads of questions which he kindly answered. Looked for the lions and hippos so they can see all the animals they wanted to.

Wonderful experience from first contact until the end
My family and I wanted to experience a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Tanzania. Being eight people of different age, we naturally had various opinions and needs regarding the itinerary of our 6-day safari. All the more we appreciated the uncomplicated and friendly communication with KASC from the first contact.
The initial offer was worked out quickly and clearly and could be adapted several times based on our ideas. Aenea, the owner of the company, was always helpful and even available by phone for preliminary questions. We also found KASC to be very fair in terms of the price for the entire (high-standard) program compared to other organizers.
Due to the size of our group, we were divided into two jeeps of four people each and thus accompanied by two guides. The last-mentioned guys, Alex and Gaesper, were simply outstanding! They gave us a safe feeling at all times, answered all our questions (and there were surely many) with great friendliness, managed to introduce us to all the Big-5, and never refused a wish despite sometimes long and tiring driving distances. Their knowledge about Tanzania, culture, people, flora and fauna is impressive. They even taught us some words and phrases in Swahili (Asante sana marafiki!) and ended up being a major factor in the success of our wonderful time.
Our tour consisted of airport transfers, a day in Tarangiri National Park, two days in the Serengeti, a few-hour stop in the Ngorongoro Crater, and a cultural tour at the end. The respective accommodations were Ilboru Lodge in Arusha, Farm of Dreams in Karatu and Serengeti Heritage. Especially the stays at the Farm of Dreams and the Serengeti Heritage exceeded our expectations and were very special and unique. Only for the nights in Arusha we would rather choose another hotel in the future due to substandard food, lack of wifi and rather rudimentary room facilities.
Regarding the parks, we liked the days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater the best. Tarangire Park was nice as a start, but is the one I would most likely skip if we were short on time.
As for the cultural social program, we visited a Maasai village on the way to the Serengeti and a coffee farm at the Meru tribe the day before we continued our journey to Zanzibar. Both experiences were very special and absolutely recommendable. The owner and guide during the coffee tour Clemens was extremely nice and showed us from the bean to the hot cup how coffee is made - just great! Only for the optional subsequent walk to the nearby waterfall visitors should pay attention to a good physical condition, suitable footwear and dry weather. We were unfortunately not optimally prepared here, haha.
All in all, Alex, Gaesper and the team of Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club managed to give us a unique and unforgettable experience in the Northern Circuit of Tanzania. I would unconditionally recommend the guys and the organization to anyone and can only say THANK YOU.
Breathtaking experience to remember
Summary: It was truely an amazing experience. I can only recommend it!
Our tour guides Alex and Gaesper showed us amazing parts of their country, explaining culture, wildlife and nature to us.
We travelled as a German family of 8 people, dividing into two Landcruisers in December 2022.
We went to see the Tarangire national park (1 day), the Ngorongoro crater (1 day) and the Serengeti (2 days). On our last day, we also visited a waterfall and visited a coffee producer which was super interesting.
The national parks are full of the most spectacular animals (including the big 5) and our tour guides did everything to make us see the animals so close and natural as possible. We ended uo seeing so many different species, such as the famous ones known from the Lion King but also animals I have never heard of before.
I will never forget this experience. If you want to see different national parks you only need to know that you will drive a lot (also over bumpy roads) but this is part of the Safari experience!
We stayed in three different hotels, especially the "Serengeti Heritage luxury tented Camp" directly located inside of the national park was a breathtaking experience. You could see (and hear) all the wild animals directly from your tent.
The cook from there made amazing food and you were really inside of the wild (with Wifi of course).
The other venues we stayed at were the "Ilboru Safari Lodge" which was a bit spartanic so we would choose another hotel the next time and the "Farm of Dream Lodge" where we also spent Christmas. The staff from there were super friendly, cooked a Christmas dinner for us and the whole hotel was so beautiful.
The food was always good and the cooks at the venues also tried to adapt to different diets such as vegetarian food.
Our guides were at first a bit more quit but from time to time they became very open to us, made jokes, tought us a bit of Suaheli and answered all of our 1000 questions. I can really recommend them :)! I am very thankful that they shared all of their knowledge to us.
Also the price that we paid was very good and a real value for money. The company was really considering our wishes and adapted the itenerary to our needs.
I can only recommend the Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club to everyone. Except for the one hotel, we would not have changed anything if we would need to rebook the Safari.
Thank you again Alex and Gaesper! You made our Christmas the most special experience.
