Best Safari in Tanzania
5/5

I went to Tarangire safari with my girlfriend. We decided to go on a safari when we were planning our journey. But we didn’t have enough information because there were too many tour offices in Arusha. Not only they don’t have fixed price, but also what included was all different.
At that time, we met Charles who runs this Kiwoito Africa Safari. He took me and my girlfriend as close friends, not just a client. He taught us a lot of things about the safari and Tanzania. We consulted with him about what we want to experience and how much of budget we have. Then he gave us solution, which was perfect. We saw most of animals in Tarangire during just a day. Leopards(we saw them twice!), lions(both of male and female), elephants, hyena, giraffe, waterbuck, impala, ostrich, wild boar, dik-dik, meerkat,.... I can’t even count them all. And I can guarantee that our guide, Nickson is one of the best guide in Arusha. He knows everything about animals and where they will appear. There are some things you should consider before choose safari company. Price, contents, food, transportation, etc. Among those things, priority should be the guide. This company have best guide. There was no problem communicating with him(he speaks English very well) and he never asked anythings make us uncomfortable and very gentle. He will answer whatever you ask.

Magic Kilimandjaro climbing & Amazing Safari
5/5

2 incredible weeks in Tanzania thanks to Kiwoito. We started with a 7-day ascent of Kilimanjaro via the Machame route with 2 very friendly guides: Seba & William, 7 great porters and a cooker. The team was always friendly, smiling and attentive to our needs. A special mention goes to Ammani, who kept us laughing all the way to the summit.
Then we went on to a 5-day safari with Jeff, a funny and very competent guide/driver who was always available for his clients. Many thanks to Charles and Jesca for their unfailing responsiveness and this wonderful crew, hakuna matata.

Dream holiday
5/5

We travelled to Tanzania un August 2023 . We chose Kiwoito Africa Ssfaris agency after reading many very positive reviews on the internet. Charles, the manager of the agency, was of great help in organizing this trip. He is very responsive, by email or whats app. He was also very understanding and patient, especially when I had problems transferring the deposit.
I was also aware of the fact that this agency is engaged in humanitarian actions at the local level.

We climbed Kilimanjaro over 6 days (Machame). Our team composed of a guide, 1 assistant guide, 1 cook and 7 porters was exceptional from start to finish. The meals were delicious, balanced, varied and very generous. The atmosphere at the camp was always very joyful and encouraging. Our guide Sébastien spoke French. Our assistant guide Henry spoke English. Thanks to them, their seriousness and their encouragement, we reached the summit without problem.

We continued with 6 days of safari. Our guide Festo was amazing. We saw so many animals!! Festo is truly passionate about his job and shared lots of information with us about animals. It was very enriching. We were accommodated in mid-range. The accommodations were exceptional, especially the nights spent camping in the parks. The lunch meals were also plentiful, very good.

In conclusion, if I had to go back to Tanzania, I would contact Kiwoito again. Do not hesitate, the seriousness of this agency, its commitment to humanitarian aid, the choices of their guides/other service providers, the responsiveness, and the quality of the service is impeccable.

Asante sana Kiwoito!!!!!!!!!!!

unforgettable experience
5/5

From the very beginning, Charles and Jesca responded promptly to our inquiries.
They proposed a 5-6 day safari tailored to our needs.
A detailed quote and program were sent in advance with a well-prepared presentation.
Changes were possible up to one month prior (including a magical hot air balloon ride!).
On site, we received a warm welcome at the airport.
We were part of a mixed group of 6 people. It's important to note that agencies group travelers based on departure dates, group size, etc.
We had an excellent driver, which is truly the most important thing (along with a 600mm zoom lens) to see the animals up close.
We saw many animals, and it exceeded all our expectations.
Thanks to the entire team, including Sofiane on the last day!

An unforgettable 10 days Safari in the north national parks
5/5

This was our 4th stay in Africa and probably the last, we were looking for a French-speaking receptive agency on a human scale, and we were not disappointed!
The Kiwoito team is professional, attentive, available, responsive and competent. Communication is very easy with all the speakers, their knowledge of the country is perfect and the advice relevant. The quality/price ratio is very good compared to that of larger structures.
The accommodation offered is in line with the level of comfort chosen and well distributed on the route.
We are very satisfied with the 10 days spent in the great parks of the north, a big thank you to the whole team and particularly to Charles and Jesca who prepared the stay with great care and to Abuu, our guide, who declined it on the ground with his kindness and his lynx eyes.

An Unforgettable Safari with Kiwoito - An Exceptional Experience!
5/5

We just spent 7 incredible days on safari with Kiwoito, and we can only highly recommend their services! From our arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport to our departure for Zanzibar, everything was taken care of with exemplary attention to detail. Charles, the manager, orchestrated our trip with great skill, ensuring a worry-free and perfectly organized stay.

We were fortunate to have Sadik as our guide, a man of incredible kindness who speaks fluent French. His enthusiasm and determination to show us as many animals as possible made all the difference. Thanks to him, we had the privilege of seeing the Big Five, an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was always fantastic, and Sadik made every moment special.

The lodges chosen for us were simply perfect: beautiful surroundings, impeccable service, and delicious meals. Another point worth mentioning is their responsiveness and attention to detail. We forgot a toiletry bag at one of the lodges, and after contacting Charles, he arranged for us to retrieve it in another park, hours away from where we had left it! A gesture that speaks to their great professionalism and dedication.

A big thank you to Charles and Sadik for this extraordinary trip, filled with good vibes from start to finish. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate for a second: contact Kiwoito, you won’t regret it!

Wonderful
5/5

We spent 6 days in Tanzania with Kiwoito Safari. A attentive team that allowed us to personalize our journey. Then a very considerate, friendly guide who took the time to stop at each of our requests, giving us all the necessary explanations. The lodges chosen by Kiwoito were well beyond our expectations. Luxury tents in the middle of nature, very comfortable and in the heart of the savannah and lodges overlooking exceptional landscapes
We will remember this trip for a long time
I highly recommend Kiwoito and the entire team of Charles, very friendly, who also speaks French very well.
