Excellent private safari with experienced and reliable company - highly recommend!
We are not new travelers to Tanzania or Africa. This was our 10th African safari and 4th in Tanzania. From our first email and phone conversations we knew we had selected the right company. Vimat Safaris was highly recommended to us, and they did not disappoint us in any detail. We were very specific about our interests and expectations for a guide. Not only did the owner Vincent pair us with an excellent wildlife guide, he made excellent suggestions to our itinerary and ensured that every detail was covered from our arrival at Arusha airport to our departure 21 days later. Our accommodations were choice with excellent locations. Our guide was expert in both tracking the wildlife and making us aware of unique and interesting behaviors. We enjoyed his humor and knowledge. Even though this was our 4th migration experience, we learned much from him and appreciated his excellent driving skill in rough conditions. It was by far our best safari experience ever. Thanks to Vincent and Peter for the experience of a lifetime!

Lenchada safaris - forever!!!
The safari went according to the program: masai mara-nakuru-navaysha. This is our second safari, so there is nothing to compare ... We all liked it — the organization, the program and most importantly the safari is our super driver guide Kikitu (a good guide is 100% of your success). Kikitu forever !!! He told a lot of interesting things about animals and plants of Kenya, he saw a lot of animals, he was unlucky only with a leopard, he will have to return for a big pussy. But they saw the black rhino family - mom, dad and baby (which is very rare) Thanks Kikitu!
Lenchada safaris forever! Asanta sana Kikitu. Karibu tena!

Ben was trustworthy, reliable and the best game driver. Ben was punctual in the duration of our trip
My husband and I went to South Africa and we chose Siye Phambile company. Ben, the tour operator was knowledgable, trustworthy and dependable. Ben was punctual from picking us up from the airport and drop us at the end of our trip in South Africa. Ben was the best game driver. Our safari started at 08:00 an and at 2 pm, we had a break from 2:00 pm to 4 pm and we started our game drive from 4 to 6 pm at Kruger National park. In the Kruger National park, Ben was tried to his best to go to dirt roads so we could see the Big Five. Thanks Ben for the wonderful experiences

Great safari experience with Lion King Adventures
As the leader of a group of 10 tourists, mostly first time to Tanzania, I started communication with Lion King 3 months before our journey. Pendo has been always so quick to respond, professional on the safari and patient to all my questions. With her help we designed our itinerary, which proved to be efficient. She also helped us book connection flight to Zanzibar.
Our drivers & guides are Salehe and Gilbert. Both are experienced, knowledgeable, resourceful and industrious. We saw all the animals on our wish list. Though we unexpectedly met with extended raining season that led to muddy road, Salehe avoided quite a few traps, and managed to pull us out of the rest quickly. We also saw him lend a hand to other trapped vehicles. Very good person!
We will come again in the summer and we will use Lion King again too. We highly recommend Lion King with its excellent staff and service. That's the guarantee for a prefect safari in East Africa.

It was excellent choice!
We've chosen Kiliholidays btween two other operators. One of the reasons was very quick communication with Mack, he responded to my questions quickly and on very professional manner. The offer has been tailored based on our requests and needs . It was 4 days safari with 3 nights in very nice lodges and one in tented lodge camp, which was exceptional experience as there were no other guests that time:-))
Our guide/driver Thomas was a great guy, funny with great knowledge of fauna and flora. He's been spotting for us animals, we had a chance to see some of them without other cars around what was incredible and very personal experience.
We've spent fantastic time in three national parks, saw lots of animals (no leopard though:-( ), had great fun with Thomas, the lodges were great, food was tasty, there is nothing to complain about.
I highly recommend Kiliholidays, Mack is very responsive, flexible, professional and helpful. If I ever come back to Tanzania for safari I'll do it with them again!
Thank you Mack! Thank you Thomas!

Excellent and reliable
I picked this company because of the good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. The 5 day Safari tour was diverse and interesting, the Lodge was good value and the staff attentive and on time. The communication with Simon the owner was efficient and pleasant. They were happy to accommodate any changes I requested and have a wide variety of attractions available. Their price is fair compared to others. We had a great time on our trips with them.

The company is effcient , honest and values customer relations.
My wife and me planned a 15 day trip across Namibia, Rose helped us with some extensive planning of self drive and flights across Namibia. The properties chosen were eclectic and one of the key highlights planned was a photographic heli tour. we were so prepared to make this trip to Namibia in June , but disaster struck in way of COVID -19 playing spoil sport. I called Rose and explained the situation and the person risk to us to travel in this time. She was understanding and went beyond her means to make sure there was a full cancellation refund made to us. It was seamless and extremely professionally handled. I have promised that we would take this trip as soon as possible.
To all my fellow travellers one tip , work with an agency like The Luxury Safari Company to ensure you don't have to worry about any excigencies.
Stay safe and healthy.
