Amazing safari in Tanzania with Edward!
My husband and I honeymooned in Tanzania and went on the most amazing 5-day safari with Kiliholidays. Edward was our guide and he was so great—helpful, accommodating, punctual, easy to communicate with, and a great person to spend a week with. He took us to all the most beautiful spots throughout the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Tarangire and had a great eye for spotting animals. We had the most unbelievable week and can’t thank Edward and Kiliholidays enough!

Supercool
I did the 7-day Machame route (in the end it was 6) to climb Kilimanjaro and a 7-day safari with them, both private tours. Kilimanjaro has been the best experience of my life, everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, great. the guides, porters and cook are cracks. the incredible safari accommodations, and the best, the price and the direct treatment with the owner and the guides. a family member is going this year and of course we will book everything with them.

Amazing
It was our first Safari and was wonderfull.
Special thanks to our driver/guide Edward and Daniel the cook.
We made 3 nights 4 days, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
I wish we had more days of holidays.
Edward was amazing, in discovering the animals, we saw cheetah hunting a gazela.
It was very good driver and safe driver.
Our tents were big enough for us.
Food was good and we gain extra kilo.
We saw so many animais and have so much fun.
Kiliholidays pick us in Arusha and drop in Kilimanjaro airport.
Everything according to plan.
We where 2 familys, 4 adults and 2 children.

Amazing trip, highly recommended!
We absolutely loved our trip with Eduard from Kiliholidays. Everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Eduard was always on time, is a very experienced driver and has a lot of knowledge about the environment and animals. We loved the accommodation, this was one of the reasons we chose Kili in the first place. It looked better than most accommodation in the same price-range. The safari itself was amazing, we saw everything we wanted in 4 days and loved the combination of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Kili and Eduard are highly recommended!!

Efficient and professional
We did a four-day trek on Mount Meru, our guide Frank was nice and helpful and the cook Cassian was really good, we ate better than we could ever expect on a mountain. The whole team (with porters) was very nice and overall the experience was great.
Side note: We booked four days but then managed to do the trek in three and we could not have a refund from Kiliholidays (which however paid all staff for the four days, as we hoped, so we are fine with it), nor for the government taxes like park fees (as we would expect). If we knew we could have booked for three days and extended (in case of necessity) we would have done it. If you think you cannot make it in three days, try it!

Wonderful!
Amazing safari experience! 5/5 on the Big Five! :D we couldn't have asked for more!
Everything went smoothly with our safari booking. Mack adapted the tour according to our requests and provided all the necessary! Plus, he even threw in a little extra "attention"/gift to our trip!
As to the experience per se - Great safari and great game drive from Edward, our safari guide! Many Thanks to Mack for assigning him to us ! Amazing safari guide, who really knew a lot of information on everything we asked. Very knowledgeable! Answered all of our questions, and again - such great game drives!!! He is really good!

Excellent safari
When we were planning a trip to Tanzania we decided that we can’t lose the opportunity to visit worldwide known safaris. So after reviewing a dozen of options we decided to choose Kiliholidays tour ‘3-Day Taste of Wildlife Lodge Safari in Tanzania’. The main reasons for such a choice were: private tour, reasonable price, and attractive lodges.
On our arrival, we got a hospitable service and on the safari itself, we were accompanied by a skilful guide - Tom. He was an expert on local flora and fauna, easily answered all our questions, and told interesting stories about the everyday life and traditions of the locals.
Thanks to Tom’s knowledge and a little to our luck we saw a lot of animals including small simbas, crowds of zebras and buffalos, hippos, giraffes, elephants and way more others.
We definitely enjoyed the tour and we would surely recommend Kiliholidays!

The best of the best.
If you want to enjoy the real Tanzania then travel with Kiliholidays Tours&Safaris.We spent six unique days with a professional guide and driver Eduard and the excellent Tanzanian chef Denny.

The perfect for a perfect safari.
Initially our Safari would be 4 days 3 nights but due to a delay in the arrival flight to Tanzania we can only do 3 days 2 nights. However, the experience was amazing, thanks largely to our guide, Edward. He was very considerate, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. Whenever we had any questions, we responded promptly, and even gave us some “extra” and very interesting information. It was very interactive and very safe to drive. The way he led our Safari, heading to some “key points”, allowed us to observe most of the animals up close. Every day spent was a very special enriching adventure. Without a doubt, we recommend Kiliholidays, especially our guide Edward. Thanks for the experience, it was a pleasure!

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had an incredible experience with Kiliholidays. Mack the manager made sure to tailor our itinerary according to our flight, and that he booked us in for the best medium range accomodation, which was in fact luxury. Our guide Godson was absolutely amazing, so professional and knowledgeable. His driving is perfect, calm and composed. With him, we saw literally all the animals we could possibly see in our 3 days, including the difficult to see big cats. We learned so much from him about the animal kingdom, nature, and about Tanzania as a whole. Would highly recommend Kiliholidays to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience!
