An Unforgettable African Safari by an incredible agency
In August, 2026, we did one 8-night/9-day African Safari adventure as a group of six with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. The trip began as a long-held dream to see the Big Five in African (not in the Zoo) turned out 9 days of natural beauty, exciting, breathtaking and heart-pounding experience one could never forget. All people of Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club are incredible and exceeded every expectation we hoped from booking the trip to helping us to obtain delayed luggage, to see all the legendary Big Five, to catch the Great Migration, to spot the hunting of Cheetah to antelope. We started a classic route through Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve (2 nights), Tanzania’s Northern Serengeti National Park (2 nights), Central Serengeti National Park (2 nights), Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park (1 night).
For Kenya’s Maasai Mara part, Mr. William Githieya was our guide and driver, and he is truly an experienced, knowledgeable, and veteran guide. Not only did he help us see four of the Big Five—lion, buffalo, elephant, and leopard (you cannot find rhinos in the Masai Mara), he also advised us to be patient and wait to see a sleeping leopard and a resting cheetah wake up and walk around. William was very nice to accommodate our every request for frequent stops, going back and forth to get a good angle for photographs. Also at the last day at Kenya and right before driving to Tanzania border William and his partner drove us to local air strip, waited for small airplane and carried the delayed luggage. We are also very grateful that Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club people in Nairobi constantly contacted the airline to track our two missing luggage.
For Tanzania’s Serengeti part, Sifuni and Gerson were our guides and drivers. I was in Sifuni’s vehicle for all trip. Sifuni has 20 years experience in Safari adventure and I believe it is true because on the last day in Serengeti North before driving to Serengeti Central, Sifuni drove on one not so popular route which we saw 2 lion moms with 4 cubs and one mom was hunting a zebra partially as view was blocking by small rock mountains. Sifuni also made an incredible fast driving to rush to the river bank for the great migration which happened on Saturday after no crossing was observed the whole week. We are very lucky to see a part of the first group and the whole crossing of the second group of both wild beasts and Zebras. The third group stayed at river bank and went back to grass plain.
We also saw a Cheetah hunt antelope at Serengeti Central and the scene only lasted about
3-4 seconds without any time to grab phone. Overall this African Safari adventure is incredible, overwhelming and unforgettable, so are all people in Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club.
While luck is playing a critical role to decide if you can see the most hard part: leopard, great migration and lion and Cheetah’s hunting, a great guide and driver with patience and Knowledge can certainly increase your chance to see. Both William and Sifuni helped us to see all. Personally I strongly recommend William and Sifuni at Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club.
A few small suggestions:
1. As visitors are not allowed to go out all the trip except toilet time at the back of the car, it is strongly suggested not book full 6 people in one vehicle, ideally 3 – 4 people. You will have more space for your luggage as well as more room to take photos of yourself. There are many vehicles only with two people.
2. Bring as many as US$1 bill for tip, you are not allowed to walk alone during dark at any camp and there is always someone accompanying you to everywhere. Also these people may carry your luggage for a long walk to your room at camps.
3. If you like photograph, try to find a patient and willing guide/driver so you can get satisfying position since you are not allowed to get out the car and walk around to select you own angle.
4. If you are crazy about the great migration at Mara River, you may schedule 3 night stay at Serengeti North to increase your chance and remove one night at Tarangire National park as we did not see anything new.

The best you can get! Took care for everything and we saw all we want and more! The best honeymoon!!
WOW, where can I begin, the best honeymoon!
We started by speaking with Lior from SerenGetit, who provided guidance and explanations about Safari, and she connected us to Kilimanjaro.
We spoke a lot with Prince from the main office of Kilimanjaro Club, and he helped us choose all the hotels.
The main and most important part, our guide Justin, the best guide you can ask for! He took care of us, made sure everything was organized, good (my wife is vegetarian and he made sure the hotels gave her a vegetarian meal) and we saw all the animals we desired to see (including hunting and the migration/Mara river crossing) - ask for him!!

An Exceptional Safari Experience from Start to Finish
Second time doing safari in Tanzania, we did a 6 day tour focusing on the central and northern part of Serengeti.
Prince was very knowledgeable and very flexible. He helped us customise our own itinerary and was always responsive in addressing all our questions and worry. All the lodges selection and transport arrangement are customised to our liking.
Denis, our guide, has more than 20 years of experience and is extremely knowledgeable not just in terms of the terrains of the park but also the animal’s habitat. It is very obvious that he is passionate towards the job and the amount of respect he has towards the nature is impeccable. He is very attentive and reliable. He takes care of everything without us ever having to remind him of anything. Genuinely a great guy to be around with.
One thing that came as a nice surprise to us is that Denis himself is passionate towards wildlife photography and knows the right place to position the car to get good angles. He brought along his professional gear with him and we had good fun exchanging photos. We later found out that he also brings professional crews around for documentary shooting and is even featured on imdb.com
He is patient and would always make sure that we spend enough with the animals rather than rushing from point to point. We are also glad that we had the full experience of safari with Denis where we firsthand witnessed his ability to spot animals where no other guides have found them yet. There are a number of instances where we enjoyed our time with lions and leopards before any other cars rushed in. More importantly, we got to see multiple crossings during our trip!
Before the start of the trip, the owner of the safari company met up with us and gave us a good briefing and he also hosted a dinner after the end of the safari tour where we exchanged good conversation.
An absolutely unforgettable trip thanks to the team.

Excellent 7-day private safari — our guide Langeni made the difference
We travelled as a group of six on the 7-day mid-range private safari (Tarangire → Northern Serengeti → Central Serengeti → Ngorongoro Crater → Lake Eyasi → Lake Manyara) in September 2026. Two of the six were my parents, who are both over 65+. Everything on the itinerary was delivered as promised, but what actually made the trip was our guide, Langeni.
Langeni has been guiding for over 20 years, and it shows in ways you can't see when you're comparing itineraries online. A few moments stand out:
#The Mara River crossing. He noticed other vehicles suddenly racing off in one direction and said, "I think it's starting" — rather than waiting for radio news. We arrived and the crossing was already underway. We watched a crocodile take a wildebeest, and minutes after we finished shooting, the herd changed its mind and stopped crossing. Without that read, we would have missed it entirely.
#Finding the cats. He had told us honestly that leopard and cheetah are both hard to see. We saw a leopard once and cheetah twice in a single day, plus lions on six separate occasions, and we completed the Big Five by day five. He also has a real gift for positioning the vehicle — one lioness walked right past us, and at Ngorongoro he found a perfect angle on a lion with a fresh kill.
#The teaching. Nine hours a day in a vehicle could feel long, but his explanations were one of the best parts of the trip: why zebra and wildebeest migrate together ("zebra see, wildebeest smell"), the M on an impala's rump, why cheetahs have tear lines, how elephant herds are run by the matriarch.
#No GPS. At all. Over seven days I never once saw Langeni look at a navigation device. The tracks in Serengeti and Ngorongoro are mostly unnamed and unmarked, and he found his way — and found animals — purely from experience and by reading the landscape. That is the part of a safari you cannot buy with a better itinerary, and it's the single strongest argument for asking about your guide's years of experience before you book.
And he takes care of everything you don't think to ask about. The vehicle was spotless every single morning, drinking water was always restocked, and he checked in regularly on whether anyone needed a restroom stop before we got too far from one. My father has complicated dietary restrictions, and Langeni passed them on to every lodge and camp, every day, without ever needing a reminder.
He is genuinely fun to spend a week with — talkative, cheerful, always happy to answer another question — and at the same time completely on top of the day. He knows when to move on and when it's worth staying a little longer, and that judgment is the difference between a good sighting and a great one.
On the office side, Mary handled the pre-trip planning for six people arriving from four different countries on different flights, and stayed responsive throughout.
Ask for Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club, and if possible, Langeni. Highly recommended :)
