A great safari with an excellent guide!
Simon Juma proved an excellent guide with his driving, wildlife-spotting, and English skills; but what really set him apart was his extensive knowledge of animal behavior and wildlife. You could tell he really has a passion for learning about animals and sharing that knowledge.
The facilities provided by Kili Slopes -- the land cruiser, tents, sleeping bags, foodstuffs -- were all in good working order. The campsites selected were particularly fun! In the Serengeti, we had buffalo and then lions on the edges of the campsite. In the Ngorongoro area, there were a dozen wildebeest upon our arrival and you could see into the crater from the campsite. (I should probably add here that even with the animal life so close to the tents, we always felt safe.)
The wildlife we saw was beyond amazing: all of the big 5, a cheetah hunting and killing a Thompson gazelle, part of the great wildebeest migration, and two families of lions. But these were just the highlights.
All in all a great experience, well-organized by Kili Slopes. I would highly recommend both the company and the guide Simon Juma.

Our guide the cat whisperer
Communications with David Maro where easy, once i figured out he was using WhatsAp. My friend and I were coming from different places and the transfers were smooth for both of us. The accommodations in Arusha were clean and pleasant with a lovely garden. Our driver/guide, Ziggy, really had an uncanny connection with animals, he not only knew where to find them but how they would behave. At one point dozens of other vehicles were watching a leopard in a tree near a small creek. Ziggy knew what the cat was looking for from his perch and drove us downstream where we waited a few minutes. Sure enough here comes the cat strolling down the stream and sits down in from of our vehicle to get a better view of the prey, a warthog across the road. We got to watch it get lunch! Pretty special. That gave us the Big Five!.
Accommodations were wonderful as was the food, especially at the Serengeti Mawe Luxury Camp where George of the Bush greeted us warmly and offered free drinks from the bar, as it was Christmas Day. Hanging around the fire at night hearing tales of animal encounters was so welcoming. And when it was time to leave we got a drumming-singing send off.
We decided to amend our program and go to Tarangeri Park instead of Lake Eyasi. I turned out to have walking pneumonia and Ziggy and David were quick to find me a doctor in Karatu, at the Lutheran hospital. My doctor has 30 years experience and was very kind. Visit and meds totaled $25! Having mobile phone connection made changing plans easy. David was so willing to be flexible for us; I felt very well taken care of. Ours wasn't a luxury tour, rather a mid-range, but the attention to detail and willingness to work around our needs was quite touching. We enjoyed it so much we added another day. David even called me after I got back home to make sure I arrived safely and was healthy. Now thats service!

Great adventure
We took part in a 5-day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
David (the owner) is a man of his word. Everything work out great and Kili Slope delivered all that was promised. Chef (Police) and driver (Jackson) were good at their jobs. We managed to see all the big five, basically almost all the animals that live in Serengeti.
If you wanna leave something out, then don't leave Manyara, usually that one is left first, I would leave out Tarangire, beacuse its really similar to Serengeti. Manyara has rainforest, which is really nice and different. Nothing wrong with the chosen campsites also. Serengeti one was really close to wildlife :)

Lifetime Experience | Not to be missed!
David and his team were honest, and overly delivered, time and time again. We (my girlfriend and I) booked a three day tour with Kili on a moments notice, to go to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. David was a fabulous communicator, and laid out the whole trip for us, with proper expectations. However, the experience was so much better than we could have imagined.
The tour ended up having six people in total. We camped at each spot, and our cook prepared fabulous meals at each location. We began each day before sunrise with a shockingly delicious breakfast, and then we were off to see the animals. Our guide was chill, knowledgable, funny, and experienced. He took us to all the great spots, and we saw a silly amount of wildlife. There is absolutely nothing I'd have changed about our three day experience with Kili Slope Tours. I hope to come back for another tour in the near future. Thanks again David, you're a legend.

Wonderful experience
We were booked through a third party, so did not have much experience dealing with the management, which I am sure are wonderful people. This review is for our guide, Lazarus, who did an amazing job hosting us for the time we were in Tanzania. We were two families traveling with 4 children, and the kids grew so fond of him that they wanted to take him back to the states with us! That is as high a review a person can get from a child!!
Amazing Safari with Kilislope
We had a fabulous 8 day safari with David and his team. David is a professional and a man of his word. He made sure everything went as per our planned itinerary. The pricing is very good and quality of the services are exceptional! We had an excellent guide and cook who took care of us very well. Big thanks to David and his team!

Very good safarie tour
We had a great time in the safari with kili slope.
David- the owner was supposed to go on the safari with us but suddenly was replaced by a differant guide- Ziggy
Ziggy is super proffesional and welcoming. He knows everything about the animals and just where to find them. We got to watch the big 5 and many others amazing animals.
If you choose kili slope ask Ziggy as your guid!!!
The places David chose for our accomodation where amazing and beautiful- the Sopa lodge is most recomanded.
Have a great trip!

Awesome Trip
Kili Slope was amazing!
Ziggy, our guide, was uncanny at finding and identifying the wildlife. He always knew where to look. He was extremely professional and was always looking to make our trip as good as it could possibly be. This meant both giving us great advice as well as acting on any request we had.
Saleem, our cook, exceeded our wildest expectations for food and service on the trip. Who would have thought you could eat so well in the back country?
The support staff at Kili Slope also did an amazing job with our safari. From the ease of booking, to being picked up/dropped off at the airport, everything went incredibly smoothly!!
Highly recommend this Kili Slope and would most definitely use them again.

Amazing team to help you with your Tanzania wildlife experience
The communication with David was great from Day 1 and he made sure he followed through with the plan established before hand. He was there to receive us and accommodate us in Arusha. The guides he chose for us Illazareus Benidict was amazing in his guidance and knowledge about the whole safari tour. Our cook Haridi Rashid was just out of the world. He made us home cooked meals in the middle of the Serengeti with love! Overall the tour experience was amazing in terms of price paid and the value we received. We definitely recommend David and his team to help you get an amazing experience in the Amazing country that is Tanzania!
