The best
I had an amazing safari experience thanks to this incredible team. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
Our guide Julius was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we had the best possible sightings. He taught us so much about the animals and nature, and his passion for his work really made the experience unforgettable.
Moses, was also wonderful, very professional, kind, and always ready to help with anything we needed. You can really tell that the whole team cares about giving guests an authentic and smooth safari experience.
I couldn’t recommend them enough! It was truly a trip of a lifetime, and I’m so grateful to the whole team for making it so special.

A fantastic experience, in an iconic place on the planet, with a 5-star agency
THE TRIP
Our journey began in Zanzibar. The airline arranged a flight for us that took us directly to the Serengeti. At Seronera Airport, which hosts small domestic flights, we met our guide: Julias, who took us to the most iconic natural park in the world.
THE GUIDE
Julias told us everything about the animals we encountered, from the yak to the lion, from the rhino to the elephant—I won't even mention them all. He has incredible knowledge of the park and the animals' habits, allowing us to see every animal in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro area. He explained their behaviors: why they migrate, why different species stay together, how they help each other, and so on. I'd heard some of this in various documentaries, but his knowledge was truly worth it.
He was also attentive to all our needs and even helped us contact our post-safari accommodation.
THE CAR
Ours was a private tour, so we enjoyed the convenience of having a car all to ourselves, but it was truly large and comfortable even for six people.
THE ACCOMMODATIONS
The first lodge we slept in was in the Serengeti, inside the park. It was a gorgeous tented camp. The tent felt like an extra-luxury room, complete with a shower and hot water, but we're in the park, and it's fair to those who live there not to overuse the water, which is always scarce. However, there's also a bathtub if you want :D
The second was just outside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, in the town of Karatu. It's simply stunning, with a pool and everything you could wish for.
ASSISTANCE
Kiliclimb was truly attentive to every detail. From before booking, they answered all our questions with professionalism and kindness. They explained in detail what to bring and what to wear, how the trip would be, and where we would be staying.
Everything they told us turned out to be correct down to the last detail, so we had no surprises. After the safari, we stayed in touch and were concerned about how our stay in Arusha was going until we returned home to Italy.
THE MASAI VILLAGE
Between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, there are several Maasai villages. We had the pleasure of visiting one. They are obviously used to welcoming tourists, with their welcoming dance (which they even had us do!) and with small handicrafts that can be purchased to help support the village. It's clear that this is a welcome aimed at tourists, but they are very proud of their way of life and told us about their daily routine and their lives in general. The younger ones speak English as well as Swahili and answered all our questions about their lifestyle. Then, since I was Italian, they asked me about the Pope :D
THE SAFARI
I had the pleasure of visiting an iconic place. It's a place I've heard about all my life, ever since the first nature documentaries I saw as a child. Seeing it in person was moving. The spaces are so vast that a tiny dot down there is a herd of elephants! I was worried I'd feel like I was disturbing the animals, but they're absolutely calm and respected by both the park management and the drivers themselves. On this note, I'd like to emphasize that no park allows off-road driving, so as not to disturb the animals, who often spontaneously cross your path! In short, it's an experience that anyone who loves animals should have at least once in their life. The only real problem is that once you've done it, you want to do it again.
THE PHOTOS
A tip for those who love photography but aren't a professional like me. I used a Nikon 70-300 lens for the attached photos. The sky was almost always cloudy, so even at dawn and dusk the colors weren't exceptional, but even during the day, the shadows weren't too harsh.
If you're a novice like me, consider that if even just one person inside the jeep moves, even with the engine off, the photos can become blurry at this distance. Always ask your guide to turn off the engine, otherwise you won't be able to capture anything.
Furthermore, as mentioned before, the distances are immense, and you might only have one chance to see two young cheetahs, especially on such a short safari! If you can, invest in a larger zoom lens with a good stabilizer.
Even with mine, you'll still have the chance to take home a beautiful memory, but it can be frustrating to have traveled all that way and then just miss it.
The photos below are exactly as I took them.

Hassle free trip
Had a wonderful trip to Olduvai gorge, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and visited the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes with Logan as our guide. The booking and trip was hassle free with all boxes ticked well.
