They responded to each mail quickly and descriptively. David, the owner does his job excellent. Driver, Zigi is very professional. The cook does his job great. I will recommend all the people about this tour. I would choose them again if I had another chance.

The best safari experience
5/5

I went with a frind in April. We don't start with high expectations but the fact that from the beginning was quite a great experience. Personally, I enjoyed it and had had any expectation that I think has been overcome.
About the driver and cooker, are a great professionals. Sigi, the driver, is a has a great knowledge of his profession and this made we could see the big five, be privileged to be the first to arrive and to have the best position to take pictures, these images will never leave my retina, thank Sigi.
Buga, the cooker, he looked after us with their cuisine and that is delicious, thank Buga
Both looked after us and made this one of the best safari experiences.
If you are also thinking about doing a safari, don't doubt to choose this tour operator, you won't regret.
Thanks Sigi and Buga

Great safari experience
5/5

On July 2015 my family and I had an amazing 5-days safari with Kilislope. We camped around Lake Natron - where we could see thousands of flamingos – the beautiful landscapes of Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. The cooker prepared perfect meals, while thanks to the abilities of the driver we could enjoy the view of the massive migration, many lions - included some hunting scenes - hyenas, buffalos, elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and finally a leopard and 3 cheetahs. We were really lucky, it has been an amazing experience. Thanks Kili Slope!

An incredible safari experience!
5/5

My husband and I had an incredible trip with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We did a 5 day/4 night safari in Manyara NP, the Serengeti and Ngoro Goro. We honestly couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience!
During the booking process, David was always very prompt in responding to my emails and answering any questions that I had. During our time in Arusha, both before and after the safari, David went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we were having a good trip and to help us get acquainted with the area in which we were staying. David is a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable man.
On the safari itself, we had an excellent driver (Nova). Nova was full of interesting facts and information about the animals and the National Parks. He answered all of our questions and was really friendly. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5 aswell as a lioness and her cubs with a wildabeest which the lioness had killed. This was definitely the highlight of our trip! The food served on the safari was very varied and delicious.
I would definitely recommend David and Kili Slopes to my friends and family and I will be booking with them again on my next trip to Tanzania!

Fun and flexible and best value out there.
5/5

Great communication, even when we had an issue on exchange rates, the operator David was super professional and did me a solid. They were very flexible as we changed itinerary twice and they were great with all our requests. I'd give advice to be more proactive with what you want and bring cash as we thought th eery took credit cards and they did not.

Competent, Skilled and Knowledgable!
5/5

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.

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!
