Alex is a gentleman and loves to share his knowledge of safari with others
Hi there, I had an excellent tour with Alex and Kilimanjaro safari club. They were on time with pick ups and their communication thru what’s app was great and answering all my groups questions. They also made sure our luggage was safe and returned in one piece. Alex our safari guide was a great time and really spend time with our group to see all the different animals. He was responsive to all of our needs and everyone in our tour felt safe. Alex thanks for sharing your passion with our tour! The safari was an incredible experience and I will remember for ever.

Truly amazing, I enjoyed every minute of every day
Pre-tour information and responses to queries were immediate and relevant, warm and personal. On arrival staff were friendly and helpful and the initial briefing relaxed and reassuring. Our trip covered Tarangire, two days in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and Manyara National Park. Very varied landscapes and terrain which allowed us to see a huge range of animals very close up in a variety of settings. I cannot speak too highly of our driver and guide, Justine. He struck the perfect balance between a friendly light hearted approach backed by tremendous knowledge and experience. He was always prepared to stop or divert if something caught our attention but equally delivered close up encounters with all the animals we’d hoped to see. He also arranged for us to spend an hour in a Masai village which was especially memorable.
We used three separate sites for accommodation which were great for us and just as promised. Again facilities at all three were excellent and staff friendly and helpful. All in all it was a fantastic trip - one I shall never forget.

Friendly, relaxed - great service and a great experience
We had a five day safari experience with our guide Justine. Can't thank him enough for making it an unforgettable experience, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were all happy and relaxed with him. Accommodation was all fantastic as well. Completely recommend.

Holiday of a lifetime
From the initial enquiry Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari was fabulous… Response times were excellent and all questions fully answered. Our driver, Justine met us at the airport and was warm and friendly from the start. Throughout the safari, he was considerate and extremely knowledgeable, giving us geographical information alongside wildlife facts. We saw pretty much everything we wanted to see….
Accommodation was superb and food was good at all locations.
We were a group of four and we all felt that the trip was excellent value for money and an experience we will never forget. We will highly recommend the company to other.
Thank you

Incredible experience
We had the best time on the 6 day safari with our amazing guide Justin. He pulled out all the stops to ensure we saw all of the big 5 and so so much more. He was very knowledgeable about the animals as well as the local masai culture. The accommodation was all perfect, we felt very well looked after.
Thanks so much Justin and KASC!

An Unforgettable Trip!
I want to start off by saying KASC is not offering any incentive to post positive reviews, this is our unbiased opinion.
For our honeymoon, my Wife and I did a 5 day/4 night safari through Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. We arrived in Arusha and visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. Every step of the process, from the logistics and communication, to the actual safari itself, our Guide, Gasper, the lodging, the professionalism, was all above and beyond what we were expecting. I’ll break down the highlights below by category but overall, I would not hesitate to recommend KASC to anyone looking to take on a Tanzanian safari.
Booking and Communication:
We took our time when deciding which company to go with but ultimately decided on KASC, mostly because of our budget and what they could offer at our price point. They were very helpful through the booking process and it was very easy to make all the payments online. They were very quick to respond to all of our questions, especially considering the time difference. We actually asked our guide about this during the safari and he said they have people in the office that stay up to answer emails during the US workday. My Wife is pescatarian and we were slightly worried that her food options would be limited while we were staying at lodges or camps. KASC assured us this wouldn’t be an issue at all and they were right. I think we would have been fine even if we didn’t say anything about her diet, as all lodges had ample vegetarian options. Either way, it was clear that KASC had notified every lodge in advance because they all had a record of it and made sure she had plenty of options. KASC also moved us to a newer and nicer tented lodge in the Serengeti just a few weeks before our safari at no additional cost.
Guide:
Your safari guide is a huge part of your experience. You’re spending 12+ hours a day with someone in a car and are completely dependent on them for just about everything during the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Gasper. He was, of course, very knowledgeable of the parks, animals, plants, and landscapes. He was also happy to teach us more about Tanzanian/Swahili culture. He was very adept at figuring out what we were most interested in seeing, even if we didn’t specifically tell him. As other reviews have mentioned, he does a great job at tailoring the experience to what you are wanting to get from it.
Besides being great at his job, Gasper was great to hang out with for the 5 days we were with him. He kept us surprised and entertained throughout the whole trip and by the end we were thinking of him more as a friend than a guide.
Accommodations:
Another highlight for us was the lodges/camps throughout the trip. Each stop was wonderful, from the staff, to the food, to the rooms. All of the lodges had buffet style breakfast and dinners and none of the food disappointed. We came well prepared with medicine in case we had any stomach issues but never even had to break them out. We were pretty careful about the water at all the locations as they all advised us to not drink the tap water. All the lodges were good about providing bottled water for consumption so it was never a big issue. The lodges also provided great picnic style lunches for us each day that we could have in the park. Most of our lunches were curries with rice or pasta, kept warm in an insulated picnic box.
This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and KASC and Gasper were a huge part of that. We can’t thank them enough and highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania.

LIFE CHANGING!
We recently celebrated our honeymoon in Tanzania and booked with Kilimanjaro adventure safari club! The best decision ever!! When we booked, the director immediately communicated with us via email and WhatsApp to provide us with all the information needed to prepare us for our trip. Once we arrived to Tanzania, we were greeted at the airport by our amazing tour guide, Sifuni! He drove us to our hotel and promptly greeted us the next morning for our 4 day safari tour! We began our tour on the Tarangire, then the Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Manyara national parks where we face to face with the almost the BIG 5 ( we didn’t get to see a rhino) and other amazing animals. We also were able to experience the Maasai tribe, which was absolutely life changing. Brought tears to my eyes. Sifuni was very knowledgeable during each of our tour days. He knew specific details about every animal we encountered and ensured we got the best photos possible. I would 100% book this tour company and guide again in the near future. The value of the tour was worth It especially for everything you got to see and how much was included: private tour guide, lodging, meals, an amazing experience. We stayed at Eileens trees inn and Into wild Africa luxury tents for our lodging. Comfortable and great service! We will definitely keep in touch with Sifuni for our next journey to Tanzania!

An amazing and one of a kind experience
From the moment we landed in Arusha we immediately felt the welcoming vibe of the country. This feeling was even more enhanced when we met our tour guide, Sifuni. He was kind, accommodating and knowledgeable.
He took us quickly from the airport to the hotel and showed us all of the landmarks and areas along the way. The next morning he picked us up bright and early to begin our journey. We started at Tarangire National Park, then proceeded to Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara, where we were able to see many different animals including elephants and giraffes. Sifuni detailed amazing facts about each animal and other interesting facts along the way.
Aside from the national parks , the lodging accommodations were also extremely fantastic. Each lodge and camp was unique with an amazing staff and amenities. With the visit to these national parks being a lifelong dream of mine I am more than happy and satisfied with how the tour and trip went. I would go back in an instant.
Thank you Sifuni!

Professional, responsible, attentive and great communication. A choice that won’t regret.
Amazing Safari experience with KASC! They’ve shown professionalism and hospitality since the beginning of my quotes inquiry. They were particularly attentive to my personalized safari preferences with prompt response. The communication was smooth and highly-efficient.
The Safari was beyond words. Our experienced and professional guide Yao knew exactly where to go and what to see. We encountered countless lions and of course all Big Five. We even saw a rare wild dog and more than one black rhinos!
He also shared a lot of Tanzania culture with us during the trip.
I have to say that accommodations elevated our trip to an unexpected great level. Not only did KASC went to great length to secure rooms of Kubu Kubu Tented lodge , one that I expected the most, their solution to an accommodation issue was well- managed and quite impressive. One of the lodges made a mistake and didn’t reserve rooms for us( they did make up for it and showed us great gesture during our later stay). However ,KASC was thoughtful enough and swiftly moved us to an even better lodge. Moreover, they brought us wine over dinner and kindly upgraded our lodge for the next day. We got to enjoy one more day of breathtaking panoramic Serengeti view and infinity pool. We cannot be more grateful for their kind gestures.
Tanzania Safari was a long-time dream come true. Thanks very much for making it an unforgettable experience. We would totally return. Highly recommend Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club to everyone.
