Amazing team to take us up Kili!
5/5

The team who took us up Mt Kilimajaro were so amazing and knowledgeable. We felt safe at all times with such an experienced head guide in Suma, and a great support team of assistant guides, chefs and porters.

Would recommend to anyone, but remember to go slow - Pole Pole!

Why are you waiting- go on safari now it will be awesome!
5/5

Great group and totally recommend safariing with them!
First compliment to Kili, great on adaptability for clients!
My friend planned a five day safari- and with Kili Slope and it sounded so cool when he told me about it I asked if it was possible to join (this is about a month before the start date). And Kili got me added into the itinerary without issue- which also brought the cost down a little for my friend as now we were sharing lodging.
Also regarding adaptability- my friend really wanted our destinations to include Lake Manyara- but David altered this last minute to the nearby Tarangerie park because of flooding in Manyara that made it unfeasible. This was a great substitution, and over the course of the safari we saw plenty of lions in trees which was the major draw of Manyara anyways.

Also shout out to Eliya who does the airport transfers- great personality and like me loves to be early just in case! I once got stranded at Lima airport because the car from my lodging never showed up so I was pretty apprehensive about the airport transfers for this trip based on that experience- but there was no need for concern! Its easy to get ahold of David on whatsapp and confirm pickup times and Eliya was always there ready for me.

We saw lots of amazing animals animals, and our guide Bakari was very responsive to our interests (like highlighting any new large birds) and making sure I got to see the amazing little potato animals I adore, the Hyrax. We saw a lot of elephants and giraffes and lions, often very close. Never saw a leopard but I did see 4 mongoose so I’ll take that as a win. Also Bakari fixed a popped tire really fast and always got great strategic viewing angles even at crowded sites- 10/10 for our guide.

Overall this trip reminded me of a Viking Cruise I did with my family, the locations were amazing, and once you were with the group you didn’t have to worry about anything. Also the breakfasts and dinners were really good and mostly buffet style
which I always think is best to fully customize types and amounts of food.

Overall a trip with Kili Slope is an incredibly good value, I hope to talk friends and family into doing future
safari trips to Tanzania after this experience.

Accommodating and excellent experience seeing calving season!
4/5

We had an amazing and unforgettable experience on our safari with Baccari as our guide! The experience is one we will remember forever! Seeing these animals in their natural habitat like this is so eye opening. We went during calving season and did a 5 day safari in February. We went to Tarangeri, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro crater. Seeing the great migration near Ndutu during calving season with all the wildebeest calves was a highlight! Because Baccari was a great guide we were able to see so many amazing animals like birds and lions and dik diks and rhinos. Baccari listened to what we wanted to see, and made sure to stop by and see the animals that interested us the most! The lodging was perfect and extremely nice at each location, with exceptional food. It was initially booked as a solo trip; but the company was accommodating and was able to allow me to add a friend to the itinerary with only 1 months notice. They were also accommodating about picking us up at the airport, as our arriving flights had to be different.

Only thing preventing it from being 5 stars is that there was some mistake regarding admission to the national parks and conservation areas, resulting in us waiting for extended periods of time at the park entrances. Also; they were a bit slow to respond to emails and answer questions when planning the safari, but I have heard that is typical for Tanzania!

Professional and well organised company with family like climbing team
5/5

Kilimanjaro 6-day Lemosho climb was greatly organised! The contact with David from Kilislope went smooth and our guide Ismael, led us very professional to the summit. His team is like a well oiled family, of which all members want to provide an amazing experience and also look out for each other. It was very enjoyable to be part of this special family. Thanks!

Safari tour with Kili Slope Tours and Safari was excellent
5/5

Our January 2024 Safari tour with the Kili Slope Tours and Safari was great!
Ziggy, our guide was very knowledgeable - he shared a ton of animal facts, knew where to look for the animals, and could even speak animal language - wildebeests seemed to respond to his calls :)
He also was a pleasure to talk to - great communication skills and sense of humor.
To top this all, he is a super driver - safe and reliable - a very important skill in the wilderness with lots of rain and no paved roads.
Halid, our cook is hands down the best cook ever - his meals were always fresh and very delicious. He was also happy to share his recipes and tricks with us.

Just Amazing
5/5

When we arrive at the airport there was Ziggy, our guide, waiting for us. After a coffee stop to meet with David Maro and paid (with some difficulties due to our banks) we spend the night at the hotel. In the morning we started our tour in Tarangire, followed by Lake Manyara, three days in Serengeti and one last day in Ngorongoro. Each Lodge/Tented Camp were all up to standards, the food was great and the rooms were clean. Thanks to Ziggy we saw all the Big Five and spent a great week whit him. He was really knowled about all the wildlife and explained everything to us very well. We decided together how to proceed in the trip. Even Elia, that drove us to the airport, was amazing. We really recommend to book with this company, you will not be disappointed!

5/5

David, the owner of Kili Slopes Tours helped me put my 16 day itinerary together. The trip was everything we expected and more. Stewart our expert driver was wonderful and nothing was too much trouble. We visited 6 national parks and did 18 game drives. We saw the big 5 and I think most of the animals and birds. Our accommodation was outstanding, especially the bush camps. My husband became ill and the staff were amazing, attending to his needs at all the places we visited. Of course, the highlights were seeing leopards, cheetahs, servile and lots of lions. My daughter, Racquel really loved this trip as it was her first safari. She adores all of the game. Thank you Stewart & David for making our trip so wonderful and it will be something we will treasure for ever.

Proffesional!
5/5

Our 4 Days Tanzania Budget Joining Safari was magnificent. Organisation was really good, all transfers on time, accomodations in comfortable campsites and what is the most important, our guide Amani made this excursion as an ultimate expirience.
We have seen a lot of animals duiring our drives. He was super involved into his job and did evrything to give us as many unforgetable memories as possible.
Also we didn't need any additional snack on tour due to Tom - our cook. All meals were delicious and super well prepared.

Outstanding 7 day safari
5/5

We had an outstanding 7 day safari with Kili Slopes in August 23. Beginning our planning for 2 families (4 adults, 4 kids) in December 22 we always had a good communication with David, exchanging wishes and proposals and always felt fully understood and supported.
We chose Kili Slopes because we had very good recommendations from friends whom already travelled with Kili Slopes in the last 1,5 years.
Arriving in August, we were picked up by our drivers (2 cars), spent a night in Arusha and began our journey the next day. We visited the Tarangire NP, South and North Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
We had outstanding lodges (Octagon Lodge, Seronera Wildlife Lodge, Ngorongoro Farm House), 1 night in a permanent camp (intimate luxury tents) and 2 nights in a private camp which was built ONLY FOR US, unbelievable!
Our drivers Stewart and Ziggy were very friendly, highly professional with their cars and the surrounding and had a good sense finding the animals and explaining nature.
We were lucky finding many lions, uncountable elephants, zebras, giraffes, but also cheetahs and leopards. Our highlight was seeing a huge herd of wildebeests crossing the Mara River fully 45min, even our guides haven’t seen such a large crossing in 15 years as safari guides, it was like Easter and Christmas on the same day for all of us

Wonderful safari, amazing lodges/tented camps and very experienced tour guide Ziggy
5/5

We booked with Kili Slope Tours after comparing 2 tour operators on Safaribookings.com. Value for money seemed good and we could combine the Kili climb and safari at the same operator.

Booking was very flexible in terms of dates. We booked a group safari but in the end got a private safari which was very nice since we never had to wait and we could start and stop whenever we liked.

Communication was in general quick and clear with David. He arranged a very nice itinerary. Only small remark we had is a few hotels were different from the ones on the itinerary which resulted in some unclarity. However, I directly would like to add the resorts were equal or maybe even more beautiful compared to the ones on our initial confirmation. So don’t worry, hakuna matata.

The safari was an amazing experience. I would book the same 6 day tour including Mara river again. The resorts and tented camps were all amazing.

Last but not least many thanks to our experienced and hospitable driver and guide Ziggy. He found everyday the best spots to see the beautiful wildlife in Tanzania. He was very polite and with respect to the nature and local people.
