amazingly organized, professional, friendly and flexible--superb!
I worked with Frank Mella for about 18 months in preparation and production of the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl where we brought, and he handled, 194 travelers from the US and Mexico. This 17-day tour/event involved many facets which provided monumental challenges for him and his crew, and they handled them all with a casual professionalism rarely seen anywhere, in any business. They took care of every element from safaris, to Kili summit with 134 persons, American football game, training sessions, community service work, transport, meals, and on and on. Whatever I conceived, they handled, offering throughout some insightful suggestions on how to best make things work in Tanzania. It was simply amazing what they did!

the best tour guide in the world
From all the professional guides I've used from helicopter skiing in Canada to scuba diving 200 feet depth in Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, Kilele Savane Guides in Tanzania is the only professional tour guide I would recommend around the world. My time with them in a five park safari has changed my live, in a way you won't believe. If you go to Tanzania, from a professional traveler, go to Kiele Savane!!!

Awesome! My experince was better than I had expected by 10 times. It exceeded my wildest dreams.
I had heard extreme stories about these kinds of trips, both good and bad. My experience on this adventure was first class. From the minute we met, it exceeded my expectations. Awesome!

This tour changed my life!
This was my first time in Africa and although I have traveled to many countries I have no idea how beautiful and amazing my tour in Tanzania was going to be. I'm so glad I booked with Kilele Savane. The tour was very organized and professional. The price was extremely reasonable for everything that I got to see and do.
The tour started with a 6 day hike up Kilimanjaro. Our guides were terrific, the food that was prepared for us was delicious and healthy. It was magnificent to reach the roof of Africa!
After a day of rest we spent 3 days on safari and saw every possible animal sighting that you could see in this part of Africa, including 3 lions killing a couple of buffalo right before our eyes. It felt like we were on national geographic!
The owner of the company Frank, allowed us to customize the trip as much as we wanted. He was great to work with and so was everyone else who worked for him. I highly recommend using this tour company in Tanzania, don't even bother looking anywhere else!

Great experience - would recommend it to everyone!
We had a great experience with Kilele Savane. Everything went very smoothly, from the pick-up to the drop-off at the airport. Before we had our actual trip we communicated via email which was very easy. All requests were dealt with and problems during the trip (a reschedule of the flight) were also no problem. All accommodations that were booked were comfortable and service was great. The safari tours were the best part of the trip with a solid guide that knew a lot of the region and animals. He took great care of us and tried to make us feel comfortable. All-in-all we had a perfect holiday that lived up to our expectations and was of great value for the rest of our lives!

Super trip Longido/Natron Lake/Serengeti/Ngorongoro/Tarangire/Zanzibar
Group 5 people, very satisfied with our trip. Franck Mella very reactive knew to listen to us and advise us, according to our wishes and budget.
We had 2 fantastic guides speaking in French , Joseph with whom we have made we made of superb walks at the Massais, and Erasto who made us live magical moments at Natron Lake and was able to find for us, all the animals of the savanna, thank you for their competence and their good mood and thank you our cook Sril who won us back.
The program was respected, the organization was perfect, vehicles and equipment (2 nights camping at Natron Lake) in good condition. The logdes (Serengeti/Ngorongoro) et hotels in Zanzibar were perfect
Another highlight of our trip, we met very few tourists, even in the parks and to Jambiani the beach practically only for us)
We recommend this agency, go quietly with Franck and his team
