Best trip that was well planned and like a private tour!
This was a well organized and comprehensive tour that covered a range of national parks and reserves. It was always fun and informative with different and varied venues each day. John Peter was always attentive and answered every question almost immediately (and I had many questions) our guide/driver (John) became a friend and will miss him as he was awesome! This went beyond my expectations and I would recommend the tour and company highly to anyone. It was like being on a private tour with all the attention we received. Thank you for making it so special!

Great experience with the most kindest people
My girlfriend and I decided to go on safari in Tanzania and selected Kili Serengeti Guides as our tour operator. We were very happy we have chosen this operator, because we had a wonderful time. We chose Kili Serengeti Guides because the price of the safari is fair and the tour takes you to several beautiful locations. We took 3-day safari to Tarangire national park, Ngorongoro crater and Manyara Lake.
Emma from Kili Serengeti Guides, who is very kind and responds to all your e-mails very quick, gives you a real trustful feeling. A few days prior to our arrival in Arusha, we contacted Emman again to ensure we he was on the airport upon arrival. When we arrived Emman and our tour guide Mike, who is one of the kindest and knowledgeable guy I've ever met, were already waiting for us. You will definitely enjoy your time with him, because he really completes your safari.
First, they take you to a hostel in Arusha, which is pretty good for African standards, where you stay for one night. This is also the place where you make the last payment of your safari tour (we wired roughly 20% as down payment, the rest we payed cash). The rooms are ok. Although the bed and pillow were both pretty hard and the mosquito net kind of dirty in one spot, we had a good time. It’s a nice quiet place and the people are very kind and the breakfast is nice.
The fist day of the safari we went straight to Tarangire national park. A very nice place were you can spot much wildlife. Mike can tell you all about it!! After spending several hours in the park, we went to our camp. This camp is located on a mountain, with a very beautiful view over a great plain and the Manyara Lake. When you return at the camp after the safari, you'll have about 1 - 1,5 hour to relax before getting your dinner. If you'll need more time, that's not a problem. Your personal cook will make your delicious dinner whenever you want. The dinner is served in the main areas of the camp, where other people who are on a safari eat as well. After dinner some locals are preforming a small show where they dance and do all kind of crazy tricks. I'll advice you to go to bed early, because the night can get loud because of the barking dogs who drive away the hyena's getting close to the camp. Also it's nice to wake up early and see the sun rise. A very beautiful view over the plain and lake. After breakfast you can relax or make yourself ready for the safari, which normally starts at around 08:00, but hey "Polle Polle" (which means "relax"), if you'll need more time that's never a problem. The second day we went to Ngorongoro crater, where we also went to a Masai Village. After getting approval of the head of the village to enter and payed $50, we got a warm welcome of several member of the community. They sing and dance for you and they'll show you their houses and where they go to school. After this trip you'll enter the Ngorongoro crater, which is really one of the most beautiful places. Here you can spot, if you're lucky, the big 5. The cycle repeats itself when you return to the camp.
In summary, we had a great time with Kili Serengeti Guides and definitely recommend this operator for your safari. Don't expect much luxury, but the experience is great, the food is good and the people are super friendly and very knowledgeable. Thanks Emman, and especially Mike, for our wonderful time with you in the wild of Tanzania. maybe our pats will cross again.

Authentic experience immersing in the land and culture of the Tanzanian people. A wonderful trip.
We were offered an unforgettable experience and this did not disappoint. The trip was a wonderful introduction to the country, wildlife and people that is Tanzania. Tende and the team made sure that we had the opportunity to get up close to the wildlife, taste the local cuisine, escape to the remoteness of the countryside and embrace the culture. How we fell in love with Tanzania which will always have a place in our hearts. The organisation, communication and the tour was geared to ensure we had a stress free experience where everything was provided to make our trip memorable.
The warmth of the staff,their intimate knowledge of the flora and fauna and love of their country enhanced our experience. I would never have imagined that we would live so closely to the wildlife in their natural environment. The sunsets and sunrises were magical - up close and personal to nature. What more could you ask for?
I would highly recommend this tour , this is something everyone should do in their lifetime.

The best experience!!! Gorillas - AMAZING!
We had a group of 4 do the 4 day safari in moderate accommodation, this covered QE Park, Chimp Trekking and Gorilla Trekking.
We had such an incredible time! Our driver Jack was excellent, so knowledgeable and really friendly.
The Gorilla and Chimp trekking experinces were insane - so incredible to be close to these animals. All guides were super friendly and their knowledge was incredible.
The accommodation was excellent, we picked the moderate/budget option and the places we stayed were beyond. Particularly the Park View Lodge and Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort - both exceptional, clean and very good staff.
Prime Uganda Safaris provided a great service, everything ran perfectly, was on time and exceeded our expectations and the staff were amazing. Thanks so much for a very memorable experience, sad to leave Uganda!! :)

Most authentic safari experience ever!
I have been on many safaris throughout Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, Namibia and South-Africa. In October we did a safari in Zambia and Botswana and I can honestly say that this is the most authentic safari I have ever done! We've travelled the national parks in two weeks and saw amazing sceneries and wildlife. Tendekay is an amazing guide with extensive knowledge about the wildlife. He is an excellent chef as well, it's amazing what he can prepare on a bushfire!

This was the experience of a lifetime
We went on an 8-day safari as part of a family group of eight but by the end of the trip, our 'family' had doubled as the staff from Bumhi were so friendly, hospitable, informative and caring, we felt they were part of our group, not just the guides. We learnt so much about the people, wildlife and environment of Tanzania, we laughed, danced, sang and swam, and took back home a wealth of memories to cherish forever. We would highly recommend Bumhi Safaris for your introduction to the amazing place that is Tanzania.
