a marvelous safari
We did a classic safari with Kilele (tanager, serengeti, ngrongoro and lake Manyara). and still it felt as special as of day one. The difference is made by the contact with Frank, listening carefully to all our requirements and acting upon it, same for our guide David, the good material throughout (landrover, tents), the excellent cooking... Simply one word, flawless. David is really knowledgeable of where to go and what to see, so we ended up seeing all the beasts in the book, plus the wildebeest trek over the mara river. Communication was open, and on top the price for all this was correct.

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!!!

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!

reliable and flexible
Very happy with our safari with Kilele Savane! Communication (via e-mail) went very smoothly, the information we got was clear and correct. Although they didn't have a lot of time to prepare our trip as we were very late in booking and confirming the safari, everything was organized very well, and we didn't encounter any problems.
On the safari itself everything went smoothly as well, the driver was very knowledgeable about the animals and their behavior, the cook made delicious food, we camped on different campings who were all comfortable and in very good locations, the equipment was good, the jeep was comfortable and reliable, ... and of course the hundreds of animals we saw - some from very close by! - made the safari something to never forget. I would definitely recommend Kilele Savane to people thinking of going on a safari in Tanzania.

Wonderful experience
We booked the trip by email in front, and we were not disappointed. We did kilimanjaro climbing, machame route. Frank was very helpful planning our trip, also picked us up at the airport and suggested hotel to stay in moshi and arusha. We had a perfect guide, Richard. Also the cook and porters were OK. Only thing is that there was an issue between the company and the crew, and we were in between, that was not so nice. I would recommend this company!
