Amazing first safari!! Exceeded my expectations by far
I booked my safari with Kilipath African Safari but was joining a group from Go Serengeti African Tours. I was picked up perfect on time by our driver Rasheed. He was really kind and enthousiastic. We picked up the others from our group before we started the safari. The jeep was really well equipped, with chargers and a refrigorator. Cold drinks were supplied. We started from Arusha to Tarangire. Rasheed is really knowledgeable and knows everything about the parks and the animals. And he has an amazing eye for spotting the animals! He worked really hard to fulfill all our dreams and to accommodate the needs and desires from all clients in our group. He went above and beyond and due to him, we were able to spot all the Big Five! On the second day, we had a big 5 hour delay due to traffic jams on the Ngorongoro crater rim. But Rasheed did everything he could to make up for it, although not his fault. He is a good driver as well, not taking any unnecessary risk and make sure everyone is comfortable. I really enjoyed the tour and had a lot of fun with Rasheed and the others in our group. Definitely recommend!

Amazing tour company!
I contacted Kilipath after searching for tours in the Serengeti via Safaribookings. I requested an inquiry and got a perfect e-mail from Lydia. The amount of information was quite extensive and clear. I replied to ask for some different options and all replies were really quick and clear. The responses were superfriendly and they try to accommodate everything needed to have a great safari. I received multiple messages with pictures and videos about the tour and what to expect. Although it felt a little 'in my face', communications were friendly and not pushy.
After arrival at the airport, I got picked up by Lydia and the driver. They brought me to my hotel and I got a briefing about the tour. I would join a group from another company (Go Serengeti African Tours) and all was perfect! Great driver, good meals, accommodation (budget camping) was good. Couldn't wish for more. After the tour, Lydia and the driver brought me back to the airport. All was really convenient! There was a problem with the payment, but this was fixed quickly as well.

Could do better
4 Day Masi Mara & Lake Nakuru
Communication in booking was ok, payed deposit and balance on arrival, some questions asked wasn’t answered or content missing.
The first half of our trip was great the second part not so great, the pick up was ok as we meet at the organised place, we had Joseph as our driver who drove for 4 hours had a lunch stop then another 3 hrs to our camp, this was as expected, apart from no running cold water was ok, our game drives from here went well with Joseph giving information during these.
When it was time to leave for our next destination (lake Nakuru) this was roughly 100km but the route taken was far more taking almost 8hrs with a lunch stop and pick up passengers that were also from our same camp.
We changed drivers during the lunch stop, our new driver Edu was extremely erratic almost crashing on numerous occasions, we finally arrived at our hotel where the driver gave no information about what times to meet or any details to help out.
After dinner the driver finally gave us info at 10pm for a meet up at 6:30 to check out and take our game drive at lake Nakuru.
When we arrived at the gate the driver informs us that he forgot to purchase the tickets for entry and they wouldn’t accept cash, so we had to pay for ourselves and the other passengers or we wouldn’t be going, the driver gave us the cash for this but not all as he never had enough change!
During the drive he never gave any information and was speeding around not stopping long when needed, and kept moving the vehicle when we were trying to take photos.
When we left we thought we was heading back to Nairobi as this was our agreed place for drop off, except we went in the opposite direction to pick up more passengers even though there wasn’t enough seats, so one had to sit on a cool box.
After this on our way to Nairobi we crashed into the back of another jeep as he was going to fast in the wet! After this the driving never changed almost crashing another couple of times. When we finally arrived in Nairobi after driving round for 45mins, we kept trying to get info as we had a flight to catch and others had their destinations to get to.
Our agreement was drop off at the collection point and given a time to arrange flights, if I’d had followed these we would of missed our flight due to the extra time spent travelling around rather than going direct to our locations.
I had to call the head office about this while still being driven round Nairobi as the driver was laughing about the situation.
I wouldn’t recommend these as I’m sure some of the journeys could have been a lot shorter giving more time to relax before taking drives and allowing a less stressful time for all.
This wasn’t the experience we was expecting after all that had been payed out

Just a perfect adventure ✨️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I can wholeheartedly recommend Gifted African Adventures! From the very first contact to the last day, everything was perfectly organized.
I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with them and went on a safari afterwards – it was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life!
The entire team was incredibly professional, caring, and motivating – I would never have reached the summit without them. The service was outstanding in every way: we were supported, encouraged, and looked after like family.
A special shout-out to our chef – an absolute Superman! 🦸♂️ The food was honestly the best I’ve ever had on any tour. Even at 4,600 m altitude, he managed to serve us fresh vegetables and delicious, perfectly cooked meals – simply unbelievable! 🍲✨
The safari afterwards was equally wonderful: beautiful lodges, breathtaking wildlife, and seamless organization.
You can truly feel that the whole team works with passion, love, and real teamwork – without them, this incredible level of service wouldn’t have been possible.
Thank you, Gifted African Adventures, for an unforgettable adventure! 🌍💛
I’d book with you again in a heartbeat!

good experience is inseparable from the responsible guide and travel agency
We saw many animals we wanted to see during the trip. The daily schedule was fulfilling but not too tiring. We had a perfect holiday and felt relaxed. The travel agency was very helpful in planning the itinerary, and the guide was also very responsible.

Our expectations were exceeded
From day one Fauziah was the best planner imaginable, very patient and very fast in answering. Our guide, Shem, was on time, very friendly, had a lot of knowledge about the animails, so that we had seen the „big 5“ after just two days of safari. He gifted us many unforgettable moments with the wild beauty, especially the cats, and even lion cubs. We would recommend monkey safari, as we felt safe, the safari was organized according to our wishes and with helpful information! Thank you for the great time, hope to be booking soon with you again!
