John is an incredibly kind, intelligent, experienced, and safe tour guide.
I am SO glad we chose Kilipath for our safari tour! John was the best guide I could have asked for. He has such vast knowledge of the plants and animals in Tanzania and can discuss them in multiple languages. Though the roads can be bumpy and treacherous, I never worried about our safety because John is such a careful and good driver. He was so patient and diligent when looking for the animals we really wanted to see! We were able to see a pride of 10 lions (15 total in 4 days), 3 cheetahs resting together, 4 rhinos, and more! While we understand animals are mobile and there are no guarantees, his patience paid off! We genuinely enjoyed ourself with John so much that we plan on staying in touch!
Kilipath provided us with excellent lunches and accommodations. Myself and two others on our trip have dietary restrictions (vegan/vegetarian) and were accommodated so well at all of our dinner at lodging and lunches during safari. Everyone we encountered from Kilipath was very kind and helpful!
I absolutely recommend Kilipath to anyone who wants to go on a safari and I ESPECIALLY recommend John!!!

very cool safari
An incredible and cool safari in Nairobi National Park was organized for us by guys Peter, Jackson and Emmanuel! We had a transfer flight of 10 hours, and the guys helped to spend it usefully! They met us at the airport and took us back. In 3 hours in the park we managed to see in the wild - giraffes, a herd of zebras, a rhinoceros, ostriches, hippos, a crocodile, monkeys, antelopes. We drove around the park in search of lions, but at that moment we did not see them. We enjoyed such an active holiday to the fullest! Beautiful Kenya, positive emotions and the people who gave them!!

Reliable, safe, hardworking and fun!
We booked a 4 day safari through Tanzania through Kilipath. Communication on planning was clear and easy. John was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, doing his best and going the extra mile to see the animals we most wanted to see as well as making us feel safe at all times as well as putting up with our many requests to take lots of photos of baby animals as well as frequent requests for the toilet. He was very friendly and fun to be around too. A problem with one of our hotels was swiftly sorted. The van was great too, a real workhorse of the roads. We sit tired and happy awaiting the next leg of our trip.
Point to improve: some hotels/camps were not aware of our group’s dietary requirements when we arrived, but most were able to accommodate as best as possible.

Easy to work with, super friendly and great at communication.
We had a great safari experience with Kilipath. Our guide John was amazing! Pure gold! He did an fantastic job finding animals for us and had a lot of patience in us wanting to take photos of all of them. He's an excellent driver and on top of that a joy to be around. He's friendly, funny and he also taught us a lot about the plants and animals of the Serengeti.
Kilipath arranged with great accomodations and helped us book the one we specifically asked for. If we had any problems or questions they were really helpful in sorting that out. I can really recommend Kilipath for your safari adventure and highly recommend that you ask for John as a guide.

Well Organized & Extremely Communicative
We just got back from a wonderful trip to Tanzania organized by Serengeti Smile during calving season and would highly recommend that anyone considering a trip to Tanzania reach out to them. Baraka who handled all our communication was diligent and clear. Our driver-guide Zacharia was an exceptional spotter and we were very lucky to see the Big 5 on our first African trip thanks to him.

Trip of a lifetime.
My husband and I have just returned from a 10 day safari organised by Extra Miles to Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. It was the most wonderful adventure we have had. The service was impeccable, communication, excellent and good value for money. Wanja organised everything down to the last detail and kept us well informed at all times. We were looked after by our driver Fred whose expert driving got us where we needed to be to see the Big 5. It was the trip of a lifetime for us.

Highly professional and accommodating, went the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable experience
Our only opportunity to visit Mana Pools was in early February, during the rainy season, a.k.a. low season because game-viewing opportunities are theoretically reduced by lush vegetation and less need for animals to come to the river for water. That said, the entire experience was even better than we dared hope. We felt like we had the park to ourselves, and it didn’t rain on us while we were there. Visibility on the flood plain was unaffected, as the grass was still quite short. Our Pro Guide and his Learner Guide assistant were incredibly knowledgeable and professional and put every effort into giving us the full experience, with multiple daily game drives, walking safaris and even a brief canoe trip among the hippos and crocs. We also saw countless elephants (often at very close quarters), as well as lions (ditto), zebras, kudu, eland, water-buck, buffalo, jackals, warthogs, baboons, vervet monkeys, a very rare wildcat, a panoply of birds, and of course the usual hordes of impala. Back in camp the food was great, seamlessly accommodating our gluten-free needs, and the team was solicitous. Our low-season timing meant that the usual Camp Zambezi package was unavailable, as the minimum guest count is four, and we were a party of only three. So Natureways came to the rescue with a hybrid three-night “budget” version just for us, staying in small tents at the national park campground to reduce costs.

The Best Safari Operator
My safari with Serengeti Wakanda in Tanzania was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned, allowing us to maximize our time in the stunning Serengeti and the Tarangire, Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater parks.
Our guides Andrew and Eli were truly exceptional—fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They had a deep understanding of the wildlife, the terrain, and the best times and places to spot the animals. Thanks to their expert positioning and keen instincts, we saw the Big Five up close, were the first to witness a large lion pride eating a wildebeest breakfast, and even caught a rare glimpse of a leopard lounging in a tree and jumping from branch to branch.
Every detail was taken care of, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. The accommodations and food were fantastic, and the team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of.
If you're looking for a safari company that combines expert guiding with top-notch planning, look no further. This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and I can’t recommend Serengeti Wakanda enough! Thank you for making our dream safari a reality!

Amazing
Me and my friend were on a 3 day safari from Zanzibar. it was the most amazing trip where everything was planned to perfection.
if you had any questions, they answered immediately via whatsapp and were ready to help with anything.
we enjoyed it all a lot, but especially the beautiful wildlife on the savanna, where we were lucky enough to see The Big Five. we had a very good game driver who was very professional and did his best to ensure that you were allowed to see all the different animals. he was a very skilled chauffeur who drove very close to the wild animals.

Incredible Safari experience
We did a private group safari with 5 people and From start to finish, everything was seamless—well-organized logistics, fast communication, flexible with our multiple requests, etc
Our guide was fantastic, sharing deep insights about the animals and landscapes while ensuring we had the best views.
We had a chef too, cooking amazing local dishes for us every day.
The accommodations were meeting the expectations of the budget safari we did, comfortable with the beauty of nature.
Bonus point : we saw all the Big 5! Which could be luck but also skills of our guide taking us to the right place at the right time?!
