6-days Exceptional private Camp Safari, competitive price
With Kiliholidays, with visited the following national parks : Taranguire, Mayanara Lake, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for 6 days private Safari (just the 2 of us).
The quality of service was really high level and the price was very competitive. We had no bad surprises, no extra fees, everything was included and compliant regarding initial offer. The manager, Mack, proposed us a solution that fitted in our initial budget.
The tent was almost new, the sleeping bags where comfortable and clean.
The driver, Abrahan, was a very wise, punctual and careful during transfer. He also demonstrated an extensive knowledge of wildlife and always got the best spot before everybody else.
The cook, Mody, was very attentive to serve you the best and provided a very good food: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We highly recommend this agency !

We had Abraham as our guide, his knowledge was amazing. He learnt our favourite animals and did his best to find them for us.
The accommodation we stayed in was luxury and the food provided was tasty.
We followed the itinerary as planned and everything went smoothly. Would recommend!

Wonderful trip！
Great trip to Africa! I would recommend my friends to come to kiliholiday to arrange their safaris. mack helped us very much with the pre-departure checklist and helped us to book great and hard to book hotels. We had a day of trekking on Kilimanjaro and our guide David took very good care of us. On the safari, our guide Edward was very attentive, not only did he take care of our itinerary, but he also carefully introduced us to the history and differences of each national park. He has a very good eye and helped us find many wonderful animals such as lions and leopards. Overall, it was a very memorable trip!

very very nice
It was a very fulfilling and perfect journey, the hotel and the guide were arranged very well, the price was right and the price was very high. Our guide Edward is very humorous and experienced. He has been doing his best to lead us to chase animals during the five-day grassland tour. Fortunately, we saw wildebeest migration, leopards and lions on the first day. Really appreciate his hard work. This is a very memorable and happy journey for me. I will recommend it to my friends when I return to China. Choosing this place is the most correct and lucky decision I have made! ! ! will come again next time! !

Very nice trip!
Many thanks to Mack, David and Edward for their dedication and giving us a really great trip. We were very lucky to see the Great Migration, the lions and leopards in the Serengeti, and flocks of zebras and birds. Mack was very responsible and helped us to confirm many details of the trip and the hotel arrangements , especially in high season when we were able to book a room at the Ngorongoro Serena Hotel. Our Kilimanjaro guide David was also very interesting, he was so tall, and was always taking care of us during the climb.Also, the lunch box was very delicious. We also thanked Edward, our safari guide, who took us very seriously to look for animals, and he was very sweet ,the car was cleaned every day, so we could enjoy a clean and tidy environment even in the grassland. Welcome friends to enjoy the beauty of Tanzania with Kiliholidays, highly recommended!

The tour group is very good, there is a very good driver brother who takes us to find animals, and i
A very pleasant five-day prairie safari trip, the tour group is very considerate. We were picked up from the moment we landed, and the all-inclusive service allowed us to spend nothing extra on the African savannah.
The driver brother and tour guide, I like it very much. Along the way, we caught many animals and saw the great migration of animals.
The environment of all the hotels I stayed in during the process was very good. Breakfast and dinner were all self-service, and I got fat from eating for a few days.
In the end, they kindly sent us to the airport, which is totally praise! When we return to China, we will push the tour group to our friends!
The price is also very suitable, I hope it will get better and better, and I recommend it to my friends!

A nice and beautifull trip with a really good guide
Firstly, the entire travel planning phase allowed us to see the seriousness of our contact who was able to adapt to our timing needs during our stay. They also helped us plan our journey from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam. However, upon our arrival on the mainland, we were unpleasantly surprised to discover that we needed to pay in Shillings instead of dollars. It is important for the tour operator to clearly inform future clients about this, as the information, if present, is not prominent enough. Consequently, we had to spend some time upon arrival exchanging our dollars into local currency. Despite this, everything went smoothly, both in terms of transportation and accommodation. We would like to highlight several positive aspects about our guide, Paul, whom we highly recommend to potential travelers! He is always there when you need him, yet he also allows you to fully enjoy your moments. He is an excellent driver and has extensive knowledge about the area. During the safari, his perseverance and desire to satisfy us led him to spend extra time in the late afternoon, ultimately allowing us to see lions and elephants! It was a magnificent moment. We would like to thank Paul once again. In summary, while there were some pieces of information we would have liked to know beforehand (such as the payment method), overall, it was a highly successful experience!

A man who takes very good care of his clients and has a lot of knowledge about the animals.
We went on safari for 4 days 3 nights and this was a lot of fun! Everything was well organised, the food was delicious and we saw all the animals we wanted to see. We want to thank our tour guide, Abraham, for taking such good care of us and sharing his knowledge about the animals. We also want to thank Daniël for preparing very good meals and making sure we ate more than sufficient. We had an amazing experience and we would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a great adventure.
