Very efficient and organized. Lydia provides great communication.
I loved the safari. Lydia was the person I communicated with from the beginning. She was always available for any questions I had prior to safari, and checking up on me during and after safari. All tour operator there work together to fill up the seats and I think it's all well organized. Camps were better than expected and even food considering it's far so it's not easy to supply. There was hot water, but not for everyone as expected. Our guide and driver David and chef Richard were amazing as well. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience all around - booking, communication, guide, food, transportation!
I had an excellent experience with Happy of Kilipath safaris! She was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had quickly!
The safari was incredible and I highly recommend Kilipath to anyone coming to do a Tanzania safari!

Wonderful!
The tour was absolutely incredible! The first three days were with our guide Peter and chef Richard, and everyone in the group absolutely loved them. They make a fantastic duo — authentic, passionate, and truly exceptional at what they do. You can really tell they love their work, and that kind of charisma just can’t be replicated.
I’ve done many tours around the world, but I’ve never felt such genuine nostalgia for a group as I do for this one.
I also want to give a special mention to Geoffrey Samwel, who handled my airport transfers both ways. He’s a wonderful person and honestly should be leading safaris too — I found his explanations and local insights even more engaging than those of the guide on the last day (who was still very good, just not as detailed).
Points for improvement:
The Nyani Campsite really needs to be replaced with another option — it doesn’t meet basic conditions.
The tour itinerary would be better if it ended with the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I did it the other way around, and while it was still great, the last two days didn’t feel as thrilling as the first ones.
I’ll definitely be recommending your agency to all my friends and family!
Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!

Excellent follow up everyday during the tour to make sure our trip is smooth and fun
7D6N Safari + Kilimanjaro Day Hike (Coca cola route) + Materuni Waterfall
1) 5 star for the Safari - excellent follow up from Happy day to day to make sure our trip is smooth and fun. Tarangire, Serengeti, Nogrongoro and Manyara lake are all interesting and we did enjoy the safari very much. Many many many animals and birds.
2) 5 star for the Materuni waterfall hike and coffee tour. Easy hike through local villages and green plants, with view of Kilimanjaro Peaks. The coffee tour with lunch is excellent to taste the local food and how local coffee are made.
3) 2.5 star for the hike from Marangu gate to Mandara hut. The rainforest is green and pretty. However, hike all the way through thick forest, took a picture at the hut and rush back was not so fun - 16 km, from 10am to 5pm. There is no viewpoint for the peak nor for valley. It is just too rush for day trip, better to skip this and do the Materuni waterfall hike. Our mountain guide Sumali just walked and walked. There is no explanation no talking just rushing and keep pushing us to go back, mentioning we need to go out before 6pm, in reality we were back to the gate 1 hour ahead.
Accommodations:
1. Love the Misako Migration Camp in center Serengeti, luxury and comfort in the wild. There were waterbucks, zebras, gazelles, giraffes (afar) wondering around the campsite.
2. Tanzania Bush Camp Mara River in northern Serengeti is also great, just a bit less after staying in Misako. Always zebras wondering around and there are vultures and Malabu storks on the roof and trees.
3. Marera valley lodge - luxury room and fantastic dinner. I would recommend this over Farm of Dreams lodge.
4. Farm of Dreams lodge - looked amazing from outside, with show and entertainment before dinner, but the room, services and food is much better in Marera valley lodge.
5. Pre and post-safari accommodation in Arusha - Summit safari lodge. Okish hotel with all you need, clean and comfy bed, just we struggle with the hot water for shower. Recommend to upgrade to a better hotel to match the hotels during safari.
6. Pre-Kilimanjaro day hike - Whitehouse Hotel in Moshi. I love the window/balcony with Kilimanjaro view. Both rooms we had had no hot water for showering, just brave the cold. The waiters are friendly but they only cook on order, "slowly", waited 1 hour 30 mins for our dinner. Recommend to upgrade to a better hotel to match the hotels during safari.
Tips:
1. Extra3.5% if paying the tour by card, be prepared or prepare cash.
2. It was stressful for our guide to rush from northern Serengeti to get to the southern exit by noon. I would pay extra to stay another night in central Serengeti so we can be more relax and enjoy more the safari.
3. Upgrade the hotels pre/post safari.
Thank you Happy and Geoffrey from Kilipath, and our safari driver James for the wonderful experience!

Extremely friendly, helpful and proactive. Great experience!
We just returned from a 4 day, life changing safari trip. The entire experience felt like living inside a National Geographic documentary.
The Kilipath African Safari team was extremely helpful, proactive and kind. They were by our side from the moment of booking to the moment they dropped us off at the hotel after the safari (and even helped us arrange transfer to airport). Lydia was super kind, always checking in to see all our needs were met.
All in all a 10/10 experience. We would highly recommend.
