Amazing hospitality
Booked an amazing hotel for us and even picked us up from the busstop in Arusha.
We did the camping safari through Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Barakka, the driver, took care of all our belongings, knew his way around the parks, was a great game spotter, drove perfectly, knew a lot about all the different animals, history and customs of the area. Our cook wasn't called Mr. Delicious for no reason, every meal was a feast. Plus both of them were a lot of fun, singing songs and playing games in the evening.
In short: great service and tour for a very fair price!

Amazing!
I have always wanted to go on an African safari so my sister and I went on a 4-day camping safari with Kilidove. We started at Lake Manyara National Park, went to Serengeti National Park and then the Ngorongoro Crater. Joshua, our guide, knew everything about all the animals and their whereabouts - even spotted all the big cats up close and a black rhino! Camping was super fun and our chef, Noel, cooked the best dinners. We felt very safe and comfortable the whole time. If you're looking for an unforgettable trip, look no further - Kilidove takes care of you! Thank you George!

Maurice, our guide was truly great! He knew so much and was so friendly and nice.
We started in Tanzania and went through from Arusha to Ngorngoro to Serengetti and Masai Mara to Nairobi. Maurice, our guide was so great! He knew so much about the animals, plants and birds, it was astounding! He was so friendly as well, I was grateful for my experience with him and with Kilidove. Our car was nice and clean, our accommodations were perfect and everything was done with the utmost respect to the environment, the local people and us. I would highly recommend Kilidove for your African Safari! I have been on safari twice with them, and both times they were amazing!

Great staff who will ensure you get the most out of your trip to Tanzania.
We chose Kilidove tours to for our three week honeymoon in Tanzania and had a wonderful experience.
We booked our trip just 2 months in advance but the staff at Kilidove ensured we could still climb Kilimanjaro, enjoy adventure on Safari and relax in Zanzibar. Before we arrived we kept in close contact with George who was quick to arrange an itinerary matching our needs and happy to adjust it at our request.
Our guides, chef and porters for Kilimanjaro were excellent. Peter the chef and Emmanuel the waiter ensured we ate well and encouraged us to fight on when nausea and headaches got the better of us. The guides Paul and Deo were positive, motivating and demonstrated their expertise throughout our climb which ensured we made it to the summit.
The safari trip was amazing. There are never any guarantees on what you will see on your trip, but our guide Baraka worked hard to show us all the wonders of the Serengeti and surrounding national parks. With his keen eye and good rapport with other guides we were able to see a cheetah, 3 leopards, 5 rhinos, prides of lions as well as many herds of wild animals in plain sight. It couldn't have been better.
The hotels throughout were wonderful and varied. We stayed in eco lodges, luxury hotels as well as safari camps where we were serenaded at dinner. Of course every trip has a few mishaps, but Kilidove staff were quick to respond and sort out any problems that arose.
With our final trip to Zanzibar, we arranged our own hotels due to timing, but George stayed in touch and offered advice to ensure the rest of our trip went off without a hitch. It was the perfect way to end our adventure.
The Kilidove staff are friendly, efficient and all demonstrate great expertise in their field. We'd recommend Kilidove to any traveller, honeymooner or family.

Very good experience with Kilidove : good timing - very good organization - perfect accommodation.
We had a great experience and saw many animals thanks to Boniface our guide/driver who knows everything about the wild life. Everything was perfect.
The hotel Eileen's trees is a very nice place too and we had very good meals too.

Kilidove- professional, reponsive and prompt
We booked our Kilimanjaro climb and three day safari to Serengeti and nogorongoro with Kilidove. George promptly responded over 100 emails we sent with questions, comments and changes. When we arrived we were always introduced to our guides And information clearly passed down and explained to us.
Max our guide on the mountain was fun and kept us going with his humor, Boniphus our safari guide has an amazing eye for spotting animals from great distances! And he made sure we saw the big five in just two drives.
we are glad we chose kilidove, because they ensured that we had an unforgettable experience in Africa!

Professional and pleasant safari team!
The cooperation with Kilidove Safari was a pleasure right from the first enquiry to the end after four great safari days. The team is service minded, professional and well prepared and the itinerary worked out well and met the standards and qualities, which had been advertised in this "all inclusive, full package tour". The guide was very friendly and attentive to the needs of us as travellers and took good care that all worked out fine. By comparison with other tour operators, we preferred Kilidove exactly because it was an all-inclusive full package tour and very transparent - other companies require you to pay separately and directly daily salary to both the driver, guide and cook and that could easily be an uncomfortable situation. Moreover, we enjoyed not be treated as tourist by Kilidove, but as keen travellers. The settlement of all payments directly to Kilidove went well and was well documented by finance department in Kilidove - however the international bank transfers turned out to be quite expensive especially as we had to cover the bank charges in Tanzania also and not only the bank charges in Denmark. Perhaps alternative methods of payment could be sought in the future. The Kilidove gift to my teenagers - Tanzania football shirts - matching their age - was really a nice gesture showing that Kilidowe pays attention to each customer in a nice manner.

Going to Tanzania? Go with Kilidove
After a long search on the internet we ended up choosing Kilidove Tours simply because the manager Mr George tirelessly answered all our questions ontime and put our itinerary together that matched our requests
This trip exceeded our expectations in every way! what a trip! it was part of our honeymoon, our first time in Africa and our first time on safari
First, George(the manager) organized us an amazing itinerary, our guide was Emanuel a fantastic guide not only he is genuinely a nice person but he is a very experienced guide which I think really makes a difference, we felt we were in good hands all the time
the safari jeep were spacious enough for all four of us and luggages, suprised with charging facility on board, real working fridge and comfort, our driver was the safest driver of all safari drivers we saw in Tanzania
We took thousands of photos from a Maasai village, to the school where George went during his childhood, thousands photos of animals the big five of course, cheetahs with cubs, giraffes baobab trees and just too many nice things! good memories for sure
Let the surprise come, I wont tell you anymore! We experienced it, its a must hakuna matata, asante sana Kilidove, asante George, asante Emanuel badaye
