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

Amazing team to take us up Kili!
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!
Competent, Skilled and Knowledgable!
As an outdoor guide and educator myself, I had a unique appreciation for our head guide's (Suma) leadership style, safety prioritization, risk assessment and energetic presence. He always laid out all of our options, asked us for our opinions and input, and prioritized each client's personal and medical needs throughout the expedition. He was always kind, supportive, energetic and enthusiastic. SUCH a fun, incrediblly special, and (I found) an emotionally intimate experience. Would do again in a heartbeat and would most certainly request Suma and his team again. The food was incredible and they easily catored to my gluten-free diet.

Fair to Average
I booked 8 months in advance (group join option) with stated goal to spend as much time as possible with the migration. The itinerary indicated 1 day in the Crater and 3 days in the Serengeti including one entire day with the migration (large wildebeest herd) and at the river looking for crossings.
Unfortunately this did not occur primarily due to the driver. Room/board was good and the first two days went according to schedule. I was put in a Avocet Tanzania Safaris group (the 6 passengers had each booked with several different agencies and mixed together --this is apparently common in Tanzania). We had a very good visit to Tangamire NP. One passenger left and a young boy who did not speak english joined us presumably as a cook. He and the driver were always speaking Swahili so we got minimal information. Loud ranger station static over the 2-way seemed always on and prevented music from being played.
On the 3rd day we found the large herd early in the morning , an incredible sight. But after 20 minutes, almost as if the job was completed, the driver took us across the Grumeti where we spent another hour then told us they are not crossing today so we crossed back and despite request to return, we never saw the herd again. The rest of the day was spent driving at high speed chasing ranger reports of cats which we had already seen quite a few of (but no chases/kills). At dinner I found out other vehicles had seen groups of wildebeast crossing the river. The fourth day was spent chasing more cats.
My second complaint is that each time I stood up to take a photo, the vehicle would take off fast knocking me down. It would be nice to get a warning like "leaving in 10 seconds". The fifth day was at the crater. We spent only 3 hours and I was told that the 4 other passengers were on a 5-day safari so he was taking them to the airport. I was left at campsite near Lake Manyara for 18 hours without a guide. On the sixth day I had my own guide for Lake Manyara NP and then to the airport.
Of course, I will return to see another migration but unsure if at Serengeti or Masai Mara.

Review of 9 Days Safari To See Great Migration Crossing
Pending review
I had a wonderful experience with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris, and I can say without hesitation that it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.
From the initial planning stages, David was incredibly responsive and helpful. He listened closely to my interests and preferences and crafted an itinerary that perfectly suited my needs. The accommodations, transportation, and logistical arrangements were all seamless, allowing me to simply relax and enjoy the adventure.
Shout out to my guide, Stewart! He was professional, knowledgeable (with over 20 years of experience), and had an eagle eye for spotting animals. Stewart always knew where to look and was able to position the vehicle for the best viewing and photography opportunities. I was able to see all the Big 5 and The Great Migration.
His driving abilities were also top-notch. Navigating the rugged terrain of the Serengeti with ease, he managed the Jeep effortlessly.
Thank you to the driver who picked me up from and to the airport. He was friendly and made me feel safe as a solo female traveller.
Thank you, Stewart and David (and the team), for making my trip so wonderful. Overall, I would highly recommend Kili Slope to anyone looking for a great safari experience!

He always understood our preferencies and gave us an unforgettable experience thru Tarangire, Serengeti, Mara river and Ngorongoro. Highly recommended!

4 day in Tanzania just FANTASTIC 😻
Our 4 day safari experience with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris, the tour through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara felt like the perfect escape from routine.The Serengeti, though, was the heart of the adventure. There's nothing quite like waking up to the sound of distant hyenas or stepping out of your tent to see pink dawn stretching over endless plains. We spotted lions resting in tall grass, giraffes moving like quiet shadows, and a cheetah that left us speechless. Camping under the stars added a raw, intimate touch. Ngorongoro our 2nd destination, which felt like its own world- misty, calm, and filled with wildlife at every turn. Seeing rhinos so close and watching hippos laze in the water rounded out the experience beautifully. Our perfect ending at Lake Manyara. Watching monkeys leap through branches and elephants casually crossing the road set the tone for the trip. The tour Kibo team was well-organized, comfortable, and full of moments that will stay with us forever.

It was our perfect adventure as a couple.
On our 4-day camping safari experience, we experienced a journey into the heart of Tanzania's nature and wildlife.
We started exploring the Serengeti National Park. David was superb knowledgeable, every step made easy for us. Watching the migration, even briefly, made us appreciate nature's rhythm in a whole new way. The camp was perfect for us and they arranged for us to eat fresh local food, and the taste of the food was truly extraordinary.
Ngorongoro Crater was equally impressive. The descent into the crater felt like traveling into a natural sanctuary filled with animals going about their daily lives. The Great Rift Valley gave us stunning geological scenery, and Lake Manyara offered a calm, refreshing contrast with its lush surroundings. It was our very peaceful journey, we recommended Kili Slope Tours and Safaris as well as a tour planner.

Wonderful Experience & Great Views
Our 4 days exploring with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We explored Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire & in luxury lodges turned into one of our favorite travel experiences.
Brayson was our talented and knowledgeable guide, his right direction we get a authentic safari experience. Lake Manyara offered a colorful, energetic start-with birds sweeping over the lake and elephants appearing between lush trees. The lodge afterward was a delight, giving us comfort and elegance after a long day outside. Ngorongoro Crater on day two felt extraordinary. Watching wildlife spread across the crater floor, from lions to wildebeest, gave us a deep appreciation of Tanzania's beauty. Tarangire provided a calm, warm ending to the safari. The elephant sightings were spectacular, and the landscape felt natural and unspoiled. Our final lodge stay was elegant, comfortable, and incredibly relaxing. Our 4 days combined stunning landscapes, meaningful moments, and luxurious stays.

We were very satisfied and great full with Kili Slope.
Our 9 days safari experience in Tanzania with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We luckily seen the great migration. Our guide and all members at Kili Slope helped us and made our 9 days memorable.
Right at sunrise on our first day in Tarangire, we knew this safari would be something special. The warm light filtered through baobab trees while elephants wandered across the road in gentle family groups. It was the perfect introduction to Tanzania's wild heart. Lake Manyara added a surprising burst of color and energy. The forests, waterfalls, and flamingo-covered shores created a peaceful atmosphere, and the playful wildlife made the experience feel wonderfully immersive. The Serengeti delivered the moment we had been dreaming of-the Great Migration. Seeing tens of thousands of wildebeest lining up at the riverbank was surreal. Ngorongoro Crater completed the journey with something close to magic. The views from the rim were breathtaking, and the wildlife density inside made it feel like a hidden world. Undoubtedly it was one of our best experiences.
