Westernized Service with Class
I have yet to meet a better tour operator in the USA, Africa, or elsewhere. Every detail, every need, every small logistical piece, is handled well in advance. They not only prepare for everything, but can think on their feet and adapt to inevitable travel changes. I never felt safer than when I was with this team. They have succeeded for years and their service has exceeded our expectations on three different occasions. I would recommend them over and over again for English speaking guides who genuinely care about the guest experience. They even attended to my jitters from being out of my element. Highly recommended!

Outstanding safari in all aspects
Kilele Africa was awesome in all phases. From planning the safari with attention to what we wanted to accomplish and financial considerations to execution of the actual trip, Robert was fantastic. The tour guides were knowledgeable and became part of our safari family. A great trip- thanks Robert and Kilele Afrika.
Great team who care about their Clients
Couldn’t have asked for a better team to summit Kili! They were well organised , very friendly and went out of their way to help us make it to the top of Kilimanjaro. Robert was amazing regarding organising the trip. Mousa was our guide and with his handpicked team managed to deliver our dreams on schedule. Bima the waiter was so caring and very hygienic. I salute the whole team for being there for us and much more. I would recommend them to anybody who wants to succeed all the way to the top !

A lifelong dream made real by Kilele Africa
We looked at and spoke to many many tour operators during our planning for Safari. It’s something I wanted to do my whole life, and I wanted to be sure we got it right. After talking to operators at travel shows, online, and through travel agents, we learned about Kilele Afrika from a friend of a friend. I contacted them and asked for a sample itinerary and approximate cost. They responded right away with several options and lots of questions to help me narrow the focus of my trip. After several back-and-forth email exchanges we finally settled on a itinerary that was unique and encompassed everything that we wanted to do. They were patient knowledgeable, professional, and willing to answer any and all questions I could come up with! With some trepidation, I sent off my deposit by wire transfer to Africa… (Which my bank Promptly stopped, thinking it was fraud!). The end result could not have been better. We were met at the airport by a delightful guide who scooped us up and took care of us for the entire week, making sure we were safe and comfortable and making sure we saw all the animals we expected to see. Our guide ‘John’ Was like a Wikipedia of knowledge about African culture, wildlife, flora and fauna and bird life. He enriched our experience tremendously. Big hugs and farewells at the end of our trip which could not of been more successful. I highly recommend Kilele Afrika. Straight shooters who delivered exactly what they said they would at a price that was better than their competitors.

Excellent professionalism and outstanding interpersonal skills
We used Kilele Afrika for a safari after climbing Kilimanjaro. It was the best way to relax and have an enjoyable time for our last few days in Tanzania! We did the 3 day safari, travelling to 3 different National Parks which was great to see different areas of the country. The guides were the best, letting us know all the facts about the area and wildlife while the company as a whole were really useful in catering to our own personal needs. Would highly recommend Kilele!

Very Helpful, Supportive and Good Value for Money
From start to finish the whole experience was positive. Everything was fully explained to me in advance. I am a vegetarian and the food provided was great! They ensured that I had fresh food that was tasty and nutritious.
Would certainly use again. All staff were well trained, supportive and professional.
I will be returning to Tanzania 2018 or 2019. Please send me details of prices etc via email.

Excellent tailored trip up Kilimanjaro
I arranged my trip up Kilimanjaro through Kilele as they had been recommended to me by a friend and other family members had used them in the past. I was making the trip with my parents, who are both in their sixties.
All of the facilities were amazing - I couldn't believe the standard of food that it was possible to make on the mountain, and also that it was possible to have a toilet up there! The porters and the rest of the team were fantastic and very friendly.
The knowledgeable guides checked our kit before we left to ensure we had everything we needed and I can honestly say they were instrumental in getting my parents up to the summit - the pace was chosen to ensure we all had plenty of time to adjust to the altitude and they encouraged gently without ever pushing us too hard.
Overall, Kilele gave us a fantastic trip and I would definitely recommend them.

Safari in Tarangire, Ngorogoro crater and Lake Manyara
We had a great experience with Kilele Afrika! We were a group of 6 and all of us enoyed it a lot. The driver was excellent, the service was great and the hotell was very good with nice breakfast! The safari tour in itself was awesome. We saw lions coming as close as one meter to the car, elephants, zebras, monkeys, and we even saw two rhinos in the distance and a leopard. We got to see all the big 5. This trip is highly recommended!
