Excellent from start to finish
Communication was excellent. Mack was so very helpful in helping us to plan our trip. John our driver/guide was friendly and his knowledge had no limits, he did everything he could to make our trip truly amazing. The accommodation and game drives far outlived our expectations.

Magic Serengeti
We spend 5 days around Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Mack was funny, polite and very generous with us.
Thomas, our driver, was simply the best: great knowledge of area and animals, funny, always quit and very polite. He delivered every requests from us. He let us see a Leopard as close as possible!
When we turn back to Serengeti we'll ask for Thomas again!

Great service, accomodation and experience
Tanzania has a very good standard in their safaris and this was of course no exception. Mack has been an amazing host. He helped us from the very first minute we arrived in Arusha. He drove us to the hotel, explained us how the trips is going to be and helped us with the planning for the future transportations in the country. The car was good, in good conditions, comfortable. The accommodation was good, clean and we had a great entertainment in the evening in the camping place. Tarangeri was a great park, we could see big 4 in one afternoon and then Ngorongoro Crater is something that no one should miss. The lunch was ok with a little dessert.. We had Lorenzo as our guide, he maybe needs to explain a little bit more what we see in front but we were safe with him all the time. The planning was as scheduled, on time and we were lucky with the weather that we could see and experience amazing things. I do recommend Kiliholidays Tours and of course Mack as a great host!

Very good
Evrything was great! Nothing bad to say about them! Go in safari with Kiliholidays Tours!
Awesome Guide/Driver
We went on a total of 3 safaris during this trip and without a doubt, Melkior is like the best. A very safe and experienced driver, he was able to get us to our destinations safely. He was also awesome at spotting the animals and we could see his passion in his job and his love for the safari when he was explaining things to us. Totally more than what we could have imagined as his explanations and anecdotes added so much more to our trip, making the whole journey unbelievable! Kudos to him!

Amazing Experience!
My girlfriend and I did a 4 day trip to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was epic! We saw so many big cats, exactly as we wanted! Lions fighting over food with a pack of hyenas, cheetahs stalking their breakfast (gazelles), leopards sleeping in trees next to their kill, and so on. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything from the wildlife to the local tribes, and perhaps more importantly he knew every park inside and out and was always finding the best spots for us. We chose the "mid range" accommodation but for us it was total paradise, if it were us we would call it luxury! One night we had a view over Lake Manyara and ate a delicious dinner in a restaurant built around a huge Baobab Tree; on another night we were in a luxury camp right in the middle of the Serengeti and could sit around a campfire and watch "African TV" (i.e. the wildlife).
During the booking process, Mack and his team were super friendly, helpful, and professional the whole time, answering all our questions and even making special preparations for us. After we got back to Arusha they even organized an extra customised tour for us to see Kilimanjaro and some sights around Moshi the following days at a very good price! We would definitely book again with Kili Tours!
