The tour was perfectly planned with an engaging tour guide who made the trip truly memorable.
We're truly happy with our decision to choose Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. They were responsive while we were planning the trip. The itinerary had us staying in beautiful hotels and lodges in perfect locations with the best views. Our guide, Denis, definitely made the experience memorable. He was personable, great at spotting animals and had lots of interesting knowledge to share with us. This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime trip (unless we decide to go on safari again, which we might after this!).
Incredible safari with thoughtful touches and an expert safari guide.
We were a party of two on a private safari in mid-September, and we did the 8-day “Best Migration Mara River Crossing” tour. It included visits to Tarangire National Park, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park. The vehicle was very spacious, which we highly recommend to allow for movement and changing seating positions during the long drives between parks.
The booking process was seamless, and the company was incredibly responsive, easily adapting to our changing plans. We were particularly impressed with their ability to problem-solve when we had an unexpected issue at 2 AM upon landing at Kilimanjaro Airport.
The accommodations they booked exceeded our expectations for comfort and service, especially considering our mid-range luxury budget. While the Northern Serengeti camp was less luxurious due to its temporary nature for the Great Migration season (June-October), it still offered good Wi-Fi and hot water, which was more than sufficient.
Our guide, Gasper, truly made the experience exceptional. His attention to small details—such as cleaning the floor mats nightly, separating fruit from hot food in the cooler, timing bathroom breaks perfectly, and expertly navigating dusty roads—really added to the comfort of our journey. His expert driving ensured we always had the best angle for photos, even when competing with other safari vehicles. His ability to predict animal movements and position the vehicle accordingly was impressive, giving us prime views every time.
Gasper also knew the terrain like the back of his hand, from Arusha to Northern Serengeti, timing wildlife stops and washroom breaks flawlessly. His knowledge of the wildlife was extensive, with a keen eye for spotting animals even at a distance. Most notably, he frequently adjusted our route based on radio chatter between guides, optimizing wildlife sightings without compromising our schedule. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see the Big Five, including a rhino, which is not always guaranteed.
Overall, this was an unforgettable safari experience, made even better by Gasper’s skill, knowledge, and thoughtful attention to detail. We highly recommend this company for a well-organized and personalized safari adventure.

Reliable, exciting, just perfect!
We visited 4 parks (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Manyara) in 4 days with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. I am not particularly an animal fan and I enjoyed it thoroughly, despite the long distances that we covered with the 4wd vehicles. So we travelled as a group of 13 people (3 families with kids age 7-12) and took 2 vehicles for the safari. A huge thank you to Gasper and Denis who were our guides for the 4 days and we learned a lot from them! They are real experts on every aspect of the wildlife, geography, they speak excellent English, are super reliable, patient and have eagle eyes to spot the rarest animals while driving! They had no problem to adjust to the unexpected change in our travel plan on the last day of our trip. They served us a decent lunch every day and we had more than enough cold water in the vehicles. We really had a lot of fun with them! The booking process itself was smooth, Mary and Mary were always responsive and clear in communication. Aanea, the owner of the business came to greet us in Arusha which was a very nice gesture.
The tour was constructed smartly, always offering something extra every day, minimizing the amount of travel, and enough stops for refreshments at interesting places.
I can only recommend this company, they have done everything for us to enjoy the safari as much as possible. We were lucky to spot the big 5 and saw the incredible wildlife of Tanzania.

Tanzania safari a must do!!
I had the opportunity of visiting Tanzania for the first time and I will definitely want to plan my return trip in the near future. Aenea has a wealth of knowledge about the area and his passion for his country is evident in the safaris he and his team conducted. Tarangire was a different experience for me and the favourite place from the three parks I visited. Its remoteness appeals to me as its not crowded and the sightings were amazing. Great way to end off your safari!

Excellent, Informative & Thrilling Bucket-List Adventure
We had a party of eight people spanning three generations. Everyone was entertained and engaged the entire trip. Aenea Makoninde is a fantastic guide and driver, and funny, too. One day in Ngorgoro Crater my mother asked, "Where are the lions? I want to see lions!" Aenea picked up his phone and "made a call." He said, "Yes, hello, Mr. Lion. I hope you are doing well today. We have a request from Bibi [Swahili for Grandmother] to see you today. Oh. Ok. We will see you then. Thank you. Goodbye." After hanging up, he explained that Mr. Lion is very busy today, but he will try very hard to meet with us at around two PM. I asked Aenea, "Why do you speak English with the lion instead of Swahili?" Without missing a beat, he explained, "Of course we can speak in Swahili, but when I speak in English he understands that these visitors are not local and because they come from far away, he will do his best to be on time." We drove around for the next few hours through herds of zebra and wildebeest. We watched a pack of hyenas take down a pregnant gnu and divide up the spoils. We saw many birds and other animals like warthogs. Eventually at just about two o'clock, Aenea said to my mother, "Bibi, look over to your left. There is a pride of lions resting on that small hill. Mr. Lion has kept his appointment as you requested." Sure enough, there they were. It was magical.

An unforgettable experience!
My friends and I visited Tanzania back on August 2019. The trip was amazing and once in lifetime experience. Aenea and his team did a fantastic job communicating with us, finding out our travel style and creating a trip that was perfect for us. We got to experience the best of Tanzania main land and Island and loved every minute of it. We loved seeing all of the different animals, the parks were amazing. We did climb mountain Kilimanjaro and it was an awesome experience.
