excellent！
After an enjoyable 18-day journey, we successfully concluded this wonderful time. Kipe was not our initial plan, but it turned out to be our wisest choice. Here, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Kipe for making all this possible; it is an extremely sincere local agency.
All six of us are truly impressed by their service attitude. During the 18-day itinerary, we experienced three days on Zanzibar Island, seven days of Safari, seven days on Mount Kilimanjaro, a one-day tour of the Maasai Market, and airport transfer services. The arrangement of the entire journey was very thoughtful.
On Zanzibar Island, the driver we met and the local guide on the second day were both very friendly. Especially the local guide on the second day, he not only helped us find several shops to change money but also did not accept any payment, showing a high quality of kindness. This young man left a deep impression on us, and even after the journey, we still remember him vividly (regrettably, we didn't have enough US dollars at the time to give him a larger tip). During the Safari, in addition to the standard driver service, we had a Maasai guide named Laba Hati accompanying us throughout the trip, who was also a very sincere Maasai person. This kind of experience is rare with other local agencies, giving us the opportunity to deeply understand Maasai culture. I consider all his responses to be sincere.
Throughout the Safari, the driver and guide both attached great importance to our opinions and feelings. We set off at 7 a.m. every morning and returned to the hotel around 8 p.m. I noticed that other drivers usually work for eight hours, while our vehicle was equipped with a refrigerator, charging facilities, and three telescopes (usually only one is provided, which exceeded our expectations).
Kipe regularly cared for and greeted us every day, inquired about the itinerary, and conducted in-depth follow-ups after the Safari to understand which hotels were worth recommending and which were average. They also sought genuine feedback to provide better service for future clients.
As for the Mount Kilimanjaro climbing experience, all five of us successfully reached the summit. It was a nanny-style climbing experience, with someone waking us up on time every day to ensure we had enough rest and food. I am particularly grateful to my accompanying guide Suya, who gave me great encouragement during the final 100 meters of the summit climb. Although a certificate can be obtained by reaching above 5600 meters, we believe that since we came, we should persist to the end. Suya's encouragement and companionship made the whole process full of emotional value; he is a very outstanding person. If someone plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, I strongly recommend the Safi team and specifically request Suya as the guide, as he is truly deserving of everyone's love.

Honeymoon with Kipe Adventure
Kipe, Kaka, I think the best way to sum up our honeymoon trip with you is -- as we learned from the kids at Kipe Pre-School: "Well done, Well done...You are the superstar, You are the best!".
My wife had most of the pre-trip conversations with Kipe, but by all accounts everything was so smooth and Kipe was always so responsive to all of our questions, even with the 11 hour time difference!
From the moment Kipe picked us up from the airport, it felt like an old family friend showing us around his hometown. We loved spending a night at his village, meeting his family, learning about the Maasai culture, and playing with the kids that he helps support.
All of the thoughtful surprises and gifts really helped make part of our honeymoon memorable from the personalized tire covers, coffee mugs, and traditional Maasai clothes to bringing along Tony the Professional photographer/videographer (check him out on instagram: @askzuzu_) who wasn't necessarily there for us but made us feel like the center of attention as we adventured through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with our #1 safari driver guide, Jerome. There were some moments where I almost forgot we were there for a safari because we had so much fun just hanging out and talking with Kipe, Tony, and Jerome. We shared meals, we shared stories, and created memories that we will always remember.
I don't want to end this without mentioning that even after our safari tour was over, Kipe helped to organize a driver and tours for the rest of our trip in Zanzibar and reached out daily to make sure we had everything we needed and had an amazing time. This went well beyond what we expected and truly made us feel like we were family.
If you're thinking about planning a trip to Tanzania...do yourself a favor and go Kipe!

The most amazing and authentic experience
Kipe organized for us - me and my 11 years old son - a 3 days trip to his native maasai village. I knew it will be something special, but I didn't expect to be so deeply impressed ... ❤️
We slept 2 nights in a little maasai hut with nothing in it but the traditional cowhide bed, we drinked tea in the evening with Kipe's family, we learned about the maasai tribe's traditions and everyday life, we saw the maasai warriors dancing and we learned how to set a fire without any match. We visited the school set up by Kipe trough Oltukai Community Project, an NGO founded by him to help his community, especially children from vulnerable backgrounds and orphans.
We also went to a walking safari to Lake Manyara, through the savannah, where we saw several wild animals from a very short distance and we did a short boat ride with the local fishermen.
It was the most autentic african adventure we ever experienced and we will be forever grateful to Kipe Adventures for that.
Everything was very well organized, Kipe is an amazing guide: well informed, kind and flexible. I warmly recommend Kipe Adventures to everybody who wants to see the authentic side of this beautiful country.

Unforgettable Adventure with Kipe Adventure！highly recommend!
I have just concluded an amazing journey with Kipe Adventure, and I must say, it was more than just a trip; it was a soul-enriching experience. I would particularly like to highlight our driver and guide, Erick, whose service was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we met, Erick's warm smile and professional demeanor captured our hearts. He not only had a profound knowledge of the local history and culture but also adjusted our itinerary seamlessly to cater to our interests and preferences, ensuring that every moment was filled with surprises and joy.
Erick's driving skills were equally impressive. Whether navigating through rugged mountain roads or alongside serene rivers, he drove with a steadiness that allowed us to enjoy the scenery without a hint of worry.
In conclusion, my experience with Kipe Adventure was truly exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who loves adventure and appreciates quality service. I am confident that whenever the opportunity arises, I will choose Kipe Adventure again, and embark on new adventures with Erick by my side.

A great person who educates customers while giving a once in a lifetime experience
We went with Kipe for a week long once in a lifetime experience. We quickly became family because he is a very genuine and caring person. He wants to provide his customers with an experience they will never forget and he does everything possible to make that happen. One of the important things he does is ask about what YOU want to see and the experience YOU want. So the whole experience is custom and he will give his recommendations from there. He works with your budget as well. It’s hard to find a safari company to go with because there are so many but it’s rare to find one with someone who actually goes with the customer themself. Kipe does that, he will set it all up and be with you each step of the experience. Choose Kipe and you will not regret the decision.

AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET
I've been on trips before, but this one was by far the greatest. Kipe is a fantastic guide who genuinely cares and caters to his clients. From the very beginning he asked us what we wanted and made sure we received everything we asked for.
Our trip included the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, a day hike to Kilimanjaro, and a night in the Maasai village. We were fortunate to see a variety of wildlife during our safari. Before we went on the safari, Kipe asked us what animals we wanted to see. Of course, I told him, the king of the jungle, a lion. Kipe made sure we were ready and in the right place to see the animals we wanted to see the most, even though we had no control over nature or the creatures we would encounter. Fortunately, during the first hour, we were able to spot lions. Seeing them was a wonderful experience!
We were also fortunate enough to spend a night in his village. It was an amazing experience that I will cherish and forever remember. His family is so kind and welcoming. While we were in the village, we were able to see how the Maasai women, warriors, and elders lived and what they did throughout the day. We were also able to visit the school that Kipe founded and opened for the children in his village, Oltukai Community Development Organization. While in his care he ensures that the children are provided with a meal and an education. It was so heartwarming to see the beautiful children and their eagerness to share what they have learned.
During our time with Kipe we learned so much about the animals that live on the safari, the Maasai culture, and even some Swahili words and phrases. If you are ever in Tanzania and are wanting to go on a safari, take a day hike up Kilimanjaro, or visit the Maasai tribe I recommend booking it with Kipe Adventures. Kipe is a fantastic guide who will make sure that all your needs are met and gives you a personalized experience that you will forever remember.

Perfect ! Trip of a lifetime
Kipe is a top notch human being. He provided us so much comfort before the trip when we started to book, understand the complexity of the terrain and how many days we will need to see both Kenya and Tanzania. It was one of those trips (my 40th bday and my son’s 5th bday).
He took all our Recommendations on “where do we wanted to stay and what all we wanted to see”. After a lot of planning he booked us the entire trip (11 nights and 12 days between Kenya and Tanzania.
He was promptly responsive and always honest. He would tell you value for money vs not worth things / stays and items. Our car had personalization created for both me and my son to make it a memory. His guides Ken, Samwell and Dixon are very professional. They were always available and helpful. Kipe stayed with us on our last 3 days between End of Tanzania and entry into Amboseli. His stories, his efforts to conserve his community, his knowledge of the Masai Tribe (he is a famous Masai himself) is outstanding. We felt very safe in his presence and his family is just very welcoming.
The safari itself was top notch, car loaded with waters and juices , snacks. Local help to shop goods and coffee. He also took us to a very local coffee farm in Arusha (that was one of the best memories of our life).
Thanks Kipe for everything :) highly recommended.

A very good and responsible travel agency with the most patient leader like Safi.
Everything was great, we climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and every guide was lovely. The only thing I want to say is that perhaps on the eve of reaching the summit, more light meals can be prepared, even if they are not hot. This needs improvement. Every day, the guide investigates our health status and puts in the utmost effort to ensure the smooth ascent of all of us. I want to say, if you want to climb to the top, choose Kipe. Their summit rate is absolutely true and accurate.
