Really great experience
My overall rating for Kilipath is really good. Felix was reaponsive and answered all my questions. The accomodation for the 3 nights were great too. Our tour guides were nice and knowledgeable; always explaining things and answering any questions our group had.
I also opted for the hot air baloon ride and although it was expensive I thought it was worth it.
The one thing that that I thought Kilipath should have told me beforehand is that they did not operate the tour themselves but the tour was operated by another company; nevertheless I went to the places that was agreed on and stayed on the same accommodation that was shown so I wasnt bothered much. Also note that part of the group stayed in different accommodation nearby.
Overall, I had an amazing experience and would gladly book again with Kilipath; I would just ask them before who will actually be operating the tour ill be with.

Professional operator and an amazing experience
We were on a 3-day safari and slept in a tents. Everything was easy and professional from the booking of the safari to the last taxi trip to our hotel after it. Felix took great care of us, communication with him was clear, smooth and fast and service through whole safari was excellent. Our driver/guide Godfrey was simply the best and made our safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro as an amazing experience. He managed to show us the big five and many more, and was informative about the places and animals. Also the chef of the safari took great care of us with tasty foods. The safari was totally worth of the money. Overall I’ll give a big recommendation to Kilipath African Safari.

The best experience of our life
This was our first safari, and we couldn’t ask for a better company.
We went to tarangeri, lake Manara and ngoro ngoro: all of the theee were amazing.
Our guide Daniel was so kind and friendly, and we were so lucky that we saw all the animals, also the big 5.
We suggest this company 100/100 and will for sure organise another safari with them in the future. Thank you again

Good experience, excellent Safari driver/guide
Good services by kilipath african safari.
We had a 3 days safari trip flying in and out from zanzibar. They arranged our flights as well, however if flying domestically you need to be careful with timing as there are many delays.
The communication prior to booking was excellent. Felix was really helpful, quick in replying, and explaing every detail.
Our safari driver-guide was Lu, and he was excellent!! You would be lucky to have him.
We spend 1 day in Tarangire national park, 1 day in Ngorongoro and 1 day in Materuni waterfalls and village. Great experiences all of the days, we got the chance to see all of the animals that we were expecting to see.
However, we had some inconveniences. The last day it was planned to have the trip with a different driver, and he was 40 min late to pick us up from the hotel. During these 40 min we couldn't rich out to anyone from the office. This delay cost us for the remaining time of the trip, as our sceduled (domestic) flight was also changed to 1 hour earlier. To that end, we were a bit in a rush during our Materuni visit.
Another unfortune remark is that even if it is mentioned in their website that the bank charge is 3,5% and that is the amount we were charged while paying (online) the 10% of the money upfront, when we started the safari and we payed the remaining amount (by credit card) they charged us 4% extra without really explaining why. The 4% was calculated and added in the payable price, not as an automatic charge by the bank in the transaction.
As a tip, ask to start from Arusha really early in the morning if going for safari to any of the national parks. We were picked the first day at 08:00 o'clock in the morning, but it would have worked much better if we were picked an hour or 2 earlier.
All in all, we had a great experience as our safari guide was really really good!

We were very satisfied, great communication and everything well organized
We were really satisfied with our whole teip, it was well organized and everything was taken care of, after landing we got immediately picked up by our driver, Seti, who was extremely funny to ride with. We headed to Kilimanjaro foothills, hiked to the waterfall and visited a community run place that makes coffee, they show you how they make coffee from scratch, explain and actually do it at the same time while singing, in the end you get to taste the freshest coffee you ever had. Then comes the kunch in local.settlement, all is grown in the area and tastes wonderful. We were even given choice which we'd like to do first hike, lunch or coffee. We took a bit longer which wasn't problem, thwn we headed to arusha for the night. In the morning we were picked up at 5, just on time and headed for ngorongoro, transport is well organized, you get breakfast at a lodge while switching from van to jeep. The park itself is absolutely wonderful, you drive throughout the whole crater, get to see all the animals and so on, we lunched at a lake with many birds and hippos. Overall an amazing experience, we'd absolutely recommend it and do it again if possible.
Thank you!

Awesome experience
Really words cannot describe being in the Serengeti and admire the felines, elephants, and beautiful creatures. The best part is the sunrises and the stars at night.

We had the pleasure to enjoy a 7 day long safari to the hot spots of Eastern Africa‘s wildlife. The tour organizer in this case was Kilipath. They are operating with guides and chefs ( cook) as we decided to go on a shared safari. We highly recommend Peter as the best driver and his lovely chef de cuisine David. David is the world class cook. We enjoyed fantastic fresh meals three times a day along the safari. The only part I would like to mention as a consideration in case you choose the budget package as we did, the Arusha Inn Hotel is a place I would not recommend to stay.
