Trip off a lifetime
Kili holidays really made the Safari, the best experience ever. Mack the owner communicated brilliantly throughout the trip, visiting our hotel day before and went through the itinerary and answering any questions we had. Mack passed on the drivers number (Thomas) just incase there was any problems in the morning. We had 3 game drives in total, each day we visited a different park. Thomas made sure we seen the big the 5 going out his way to find them. The accommodation mack had chosen for us was excellent value for money. All food and water was included in the price,The food in each hotel was top quality.The Serengeti camp site which was called balaki camp was a personal favourite due too being camped in the middle of the Serengeti and being at one with the wildlife. I can not thank Mack and Thomas enough for their professionalism and kind nature on what was a trip with 6 of my friends I'll never forget.

Fantastic holiday and company
Me and my friends done a 7 day Kilimanjaro hike and 4 day safari with this company this year after a 2 year wait due to covid. Mack and all his staff were excellent from start to finish. The Kilimanjaro trek was excellent and the 3 guides (especially Raymond) and the porters were fantastic people. We were well looked and after and nothing was too much trouble for them. The food and the guidance was excellent. Our 4 day safari in the Ngorongoro and the Serengeti was excellent as well, our guide Thomas was Brilliant and the accommodation was fantastic along with the scenery and nature. Overall I would highly recommend this company and Mack to anyone

Amazing safari in Tanzania with Edward!
My husband and I honeymooned in Tanzania and went on the most amazing 5-day safari with Kiliholidays. Edward was our guide and he was so great—helpful, accommodating, punctual, easy to communicate with, and a great person to spend a week with. He took us to all the most beautiful spots throughout the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Tarangire and had a great eye for spotting animals. We had the most unbelievable week and can’t thank Edward and Kiliholidays enough!

Supercool
I did the 7-day Machame route (in the end it was 6) to climb Kilimanjaro and a 7-day safari with them, both private tours. Kilimanjaro has been the best experience of my life, everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, great. the guides, porters and cook are cracks. the incredible safari accommodations, and the best, the price and the direct treatment with the owner and the guides. a family member is going this year and of course we will book everything with them.

Amazing
It was our first Safari and was wonderfull.
Special thanks to our driver/guide Edward and Daniel the cook.
We made 3 nights 4 days, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
I wish we had more days of holidays.
Edward was amazing, in discovering the animals, we saw cheetah hunting a gazela.
It was very good driver and safe driver.
Our tents were big enough for us.
Food was good and we gain extra kilo.
We saw so many animais and have so much fun.
Kiliholidays pick us in Arusha and drop in Kilimanjaro airport.
Everything according to plan.
We where 2 familys, 4 adults and 2 children.

Amazing trip, highly recommended!
We absolutely loved our trip with Eduard from Kiliholidays. Everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Eduard was always on time, is a very experienced driver and has a lot of knowledge about the environment and animals. We loved the accommodation, this was one of the reasons we chose Kili in the first place. It looked better than most accommodation in the same price-range. The safari itself was amazing, we saw everything we wanted in 4 days and loved the combination of Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Kili and Eduard are highly recommended!!

Efficient and professional
We did a four-day trek on Mount Meru, our guide Frank was nice and helpful and the cook Cassian was really good, we ate better than we could ever expect on a mountain. The whole team (with porters) was very nice and overall the experience was great.
Side note: We booked four days but then managed to do the trek in three and we could not have a refund from Kiliholidays (which however paid all staff for the four days, as we hoped, so we are fine with it), nor for the government taxes like park fees (as we would expect). If we knew we could have booked for three days and extended (in case of necessity) we would have done it. If you think you cannot make it in three days, try it!

Wonderful!
Amazing safari experience! 5/5 on the Big Five! :D we couldn't have asked for more!
Everything went smoothly with our safari booking. Mack adapted the tour according to our requests and provided all the necessary! Plus, he even threw in a little extra "attention"/gift to our trip!
As to the experience per se - Great safari and great game drive from Edward, our safari guide! Many Thanks to Mack for assigning him to us ! Amazing safari guide, who really knew a lot of information on everything we asked. Very knowledgeable! Answered all of our questions, and again - such great game drives!!! He is really good!
