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.

We were in capable, knowledgeable hands, they provided the best possible experience.
From the beginning, our communications were personal and extremely helpful. When our travel arrangements went slightly awry, Kilimanjaro was responsive and understanding. They accommodated our revised plans which was a huge relief. Upon arrival at Arusha, our guide, Gasper, whisked us straight to our lodgings where we got much needed rest. The days of safari were wonderful beyond our dreams. Gasper easily explained what we were witnessing and always positioned the Jeep for the best possible viewing. His knowledge of the animals and their behaviors made for an exceptional experience. The first day he asked what animals we were hoping to see. We responded with cheetahs, zebras, lions, rhinos. We saw them all. It turns out zebra are plentiful and lions were easily spotted. But he also got us to the elusive rhino and cheetah. It was thrilling.
Kilimanjaro Safari Adventure Club is an excellent customer oriented tour company and we highly recommend them.

Amazing safari!
Everything was simply perfect and wonderful! From the first contact with Rajab, who has sent us the offer immdiately (we didn‘t even wait 24 hours). He was as well our guide for Arusha what we absolutely recommend to do. As this city has so many intersting things to discover and it simply suits perfect in a safari programm. Then Vicent, our guide. He is absolutely amazing and made all our wishes and dreams come true. He is so lovely and knows evereything about the animals and the Maasay people that we also visited, also to recommend. He was very good in finding all kind of animal and showing them to us. We really appreciate him and couldn‘t imagine a better guide than Vicent! We have to say as well that all the accomodations perfectly fitted. Our safari honeymoon trip was simply unforgettable and amazing! Thanks a lot again! We would recommend it to everyone and one of our friends even booked already!

The most amazing safari trip!
From the moment we contacted Kilimanjaro adventure safari club we have had an incredible experience! The manager makoninde was very fast at responding to any of our queries and was excellent when helping us choose what route we wanted to do etc! There was also an issue with missing bags when we arrived into Kilimanjaro airport and makoninde was just fantastic taking the stress away from us and dealing with it completely!
We did a 5 day tour starting with Tarangire national park - Ngorongoro Crater - Serengeti and then Lake Manyara. Our guide Boniface was just amazing! With 20 years experience of being a safari guide the knowledge he could share was incredible! He knew so much about all the animals, birds and their habitat and he was so patient when I would ask him thousands of questions daily haha! Boniface would drive for hours to ensure we saw lots of different animals and could spot animals from miles away ( we are still in awe!!) Boniface was the most amazing, kind, knowledgable, fun and just wonderful person and we honestly felt privileged that he was our guide! We honestly just had the most incredible time and it was better than we could have ever imagined!
All our accommodation was arranged for us nightly and we loved the different places we stayed! All our food was provided for us on the safari and at night we would enjoy the accommodation buffets which always offered a brilliant variety of delicious food! All the staff and people working in the accommodations were soo friendly and lovely! We just felt so comfortable wherever we went!
I would recommend everyone to book with Kilimanjaro safari adventure club as they are the company that goes above and beyond and you will have the most incredible time from start to finish!
Thank you Kilimanjaro safari club for everything! Our trip was so so amazing and we are so grateful for everything! Thank you Makoninde for your friendly and professional manner! The attention to detail was amazing! Thank you Boniface for the trip of a lifetime - we hopefully will meet again one day!

Great organization of safari
This company organized us a four-day tour of the national parks of Tarangira, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. Everything went very well, there were no problems during the safari. The guide was friendly and tried to find as many animals as possible for us, the hotel and camping were a high level, we were met at the airport, and after Safari we were returned to it. We were lucky to see many animals, some very close, including elephants, lions, cheetahs. I can safely recommend.
