10/10 recommend
My partner and I booked the 5 day safari with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club at the beginning of June. We had an amazing experience with the company from the moment of booking to the very end of our trip. Makonide, the director, made us feel at home straight away and was very friendly and helpful when were deciding when to travel to Tanzania. Our guide, Denis, was incredible and knew exactly where to drive us in the natural reserves so that we would have the best shot at seeing the animals. We even managed to see the very rare rhino thanks to Denis and his tricks. What was really nice is that we didn't have to plan or book anything ourselves.
We were very happy with the accommodations they booked for us, including a night of glamping in the Serengeti. In all the places we stayed at the hospitality was great and the rooms were very comfortable.
We had lunch and (cold) water provided each day. We had more than enough food to fill us, and while the food varied, it mostly consisted of: fruit, fruit juice, some chocolate/biscuits, nuts (if the monkeys don't steal them), roast chicken and sandwiches.
In addition to the safari, Denis proposed visiting a Maasai tribe, a nomadic farming people, and proposed visiting a coffee plantation. We walked through the coffee farms with the local guide, Clemens, who taught us about the process of making coffee. We ended the visit by making our own coffee from the dry bean and took it back to the UK with us.
On our final day, Denis drove us to the airport where we found our flight had been delayed and moved to a different airport! Without asking for any additional fees, Denis stayed with us that afternoon and showed us around the local markets until our later flight time - we would have been completely stuffed without him and his colleague Mary.
Why should you chose this company over others? Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club is a well organised company and you can tell that Makonide really values the experience of his clients because he will pair you up with someone like our incredible guide Denis, who was accommodating for any other requests we had (buying a SIM card for internet, withdrawing currency etc), and who really went above and beyond when our flight was cancelled.

Professional and friendly.
Gasper was exactly the guide we wanted. We have 12 and 15 year old boys. The older is very quiet and younger is very talkative. A 6 day safari is a lot of togetherness and Gasper managed us well. There are many competent, professional guides, but the special ones feel more like a friend by the end. Gasper is that kind of guide. Patient answering all the questions a 12 year old can think of, even the repeat ones. Funny, informative, and a clear passion for the work. He loves it and it’s very obvious. Thanks, again Gasper for an incredible experience.

Amazing Safari experience! Excellent guide
We had an amazing 6 day Safari trip with Kilimanjaro adventure tours. They were very responsive during the whole booking process and I felt confident trusting them before we arrived. Our guide, Gasper, picked us up from the airport and we liked him right away. He was super fun and knowledgeable and was great with my kids (who asked a lot of questions). It was the trip of a lifetime! Thank you, Gasper and Kilimanjaro!

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.

Amazing experience!!
What a special experience and impeccable service!! We decided to travel to Tanzania just a few days before departure. Rajab was able to organise for us the trip of a lifetime in just one day, providing us the best possible offer without compromising on the service and quality of the trip. We were incredibly well welcomed to Tanzania and promised to come home with unforgettable memories. And so we did! Gasper, our driver, guided us around for a week, we’ve seen every possible animal we could see, beautiful landscapes, breathtaking views, delicious food, comfortable and elegant accommodations, everything surpassed any expectations! Thank you Gasper for making this trip so special, it wouldn’t have been the same without you. And thank you Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club for organising what turned out to be the best safari holiday we could have ever wished for!

Incredible, perfect Trip of a lifetime which exceeded our expectations in every way.
KILIMANJARO ADVENTURE SAFARI CLUB
We had an amazing trip which exceeded our expectations in every way thanks to Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. The entire trip was seamless with our every need taken care of with personalized attention.
On our 8-day Safari our guide Kelly, He was able to spot so much wildlife we never would have never noticed without him. He was even able to smell an animal, then find it . He taught us about animal behavior , identifying vegetation and local culture. I am certain he is has as much, if not more than knowledge than a National Geographic guide. All of our accommodations were comfortable and the food was great. We always felt safe and throughout the trip rarely saw a mosquito. Kilimanjaro Adventure and Safari Club is owned and staffed with honest and friendly residents of Arusha, Tanzania. Our guide spoke excellent English and other staff speak Spanish, French, English, German, Italian and Chinese.
Our Safari was a trip of a lifetime , thanks to Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. We will never forget the absolute beauty of the Tanzania , especially the Sergenti.

Fantastic Safari With Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club
We did a week long Safari with Kilimanjaro trek. They are simply fabulous. Aenea was very understanding and cooperative in planning our Safari. Everything was arranged very well right from the airport pickup to dropping us back at our final destination. There was so much attention to detail. Our guide Dennis was fantastic. He was extremely experienced, passionate and was able to spot animals from long distances. We saw all the big 5 as part of our Safari. Can't wait to come back to Tanzania to do a Safari with Aenea's group again.

Unforgettable Safari and experience at its best
My friend and I did a 6 day Safari, starting in Tarangire NP, Serengeti central and South (Ndutu) with big Migration, Ngogoro crater and Lake Tanganika. All planing including our wishes and suggestions from Safari Club what is best for the time we were travalling were done with WhatsApp. The communication was very easy with very quick respond
So we had an excellent Safari with Kilimandscharo Safari Tours with nice, safe and quite large accommodations and tented camps, including good food.
I think our guide Adam will be the best guide you can find. He has a very good knowledge about animals and their behavior, wildlife and Tansanian culture. Besides he is helpful, friendly and a very good and save driver.
We have seen all Big 5 and a great number of other animals living there.
He even could find animals hidden under bushes or in trees in a great distance and getting closer we could watch them very, very nearby.
My brother with family did the Safari before us with Guide Kelly.and we all together have the same opinion that this Safari couldn't be topped.
It was my best Safari I've done until now and I couldn't imagine getting something better. So much wildlife!!!!
I would it recommend to 100%.
