Incredible experience
We had the best time on the 6 day safari with our amazing guide Justin. He pulled out all the stops to ensure we saw all of the big 5 and so so much more. He was very knowledgeable about the animals as well as the local masai culture. The accommodation was all perfect, we felt very well looked after.
Thanks so much Justin and KASC!

Amazing Experience
I would recommend to anyone, as they were instrumental in making the experience for myself, and my family, an amazing one.

An Unforgettable Trip!
I want to start off by saying KASC is not offering any incentive to post positive reviews, this is our unbiased opinion.
For our honeymoon, my Wife and I did a 5 day/4 night safari through Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. We arrived in Arusha and visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. Every step of the process, from the logistics and communication, to the actual safari itself, our Guide, Gasper, the lodging, the professionalism, was all above and beyond what we were expecting. I’ll break down the highlights below by category but overall, I would not hesitate to recommend KASC to anyone looking to take on a Tanzanian safari.
Booking and Communication:
We took our time when deciding which company to go with but ultimately decided on KASC, mostly because of our budget and what they could offer at our price point. They were very helpful through the booking process and it was very easy to make all the payments online. They were very quick to respond to all of our questions, especially considering the time difference. We actually asked our guide about this during the safari and he said they have people in the office that stay up to answer emails during the US workday. My Wife is pescatarian and we were slightly worried that her food options would be limited while we were staying at lodges or camps. KASC assured us this wouldn’t be an issue at all and they were right. I think we would have been fine even if we didn’t say anything about her diet, as all lodges had ample vegetarian options. Either way, it was clear that KASC had notified every lodge in advance because they all had a record of it and made sure she had plenty of options. KASC also moved us to a newer and nicer tented lodge in the Serengeti just a few weeks before our safari at no additional cost.
Guide:
Your safari guide is a huge part of your experience. You’re spending 12+ hours a day with someone in a car and are completely dependent on them for just about everything during the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Gasper. He was, of course, very knowledgeable of the parks, animals, plants, and landscapes. He was also happy to teach us more about Tanzanian/Swahili culture. He was very adept at figuring out what we were most interested in seeing, even if we didn’t specifically tell him. As other reviews have mentioned, he does a great job at tailoring the experience to what you are wanting to get from it.
Besides being great at his job, Gasper was great to hang out with for the 5 days we were with him. He kept us surprised and entertained throughout the whole trip and by the end we were thinking of him more as a friend than a guide.
Accommodations:
Another highlight for us was the lodges/camps throughout the trip. Each stop was wonderful, from the staff, to the food, to the rooms. All of the lodges had buffet style breakfast and dinners and none of the food disappointed. We came well prepared with medicine in case we had any stomach issues but never even had to break them out. We were pretty careful about the water at all the locations as they all advised us to not drink the tap water. All the lodges were good about providing bottled water for consumption so it was never a big issue. The lodges also provided great picnic style lunches for us each day that we could have in the park. Most of our lunches were curries with rice or pasta, kept warm in an insulated picnic box.
This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and KASC and Gasper were a huge part of that. We can’t thank them enough and highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania.

LIFE CHANGING!
We recently celebrated our honeymoon in Tanzania and booked with Kilimanjaro adventure safari club! The best decision ever!! When we booked, the director immediately communicated with us via email and WhatsApp to provide us with all the information needed to prepare us for our trip. Once we arrived to Tanzania, we were greeted at the airport by our amazing tour guide, Sifuni! He drove us to our hotel and promptly greeted us the next morning for our 4 day safari tour! We began our tour on the Tarangire, then the Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Manyara national parks where we face to face with the almost the BIG 5 ( we didn’t get to see a rhino) and other amazing animals. We also were able to experience the Maasai tribe, which was absolutely life changing. Brought tears to my eyes. Sifuni was very knowledgeable during each of our tour days. He knew specific details about every animal we encountered and ensured we got the best photos possible. I would 100% book this tour company and guide again in the near future. The value of the tour was worth It especially for everything you got to see and how much was included: private tour guide, lodging, meals, an amazing experience. We stayed at Eileens trees inn and Into wild Africa luxury tents for our lodging. Comfortable and great service! We will definitely keep in touch with Sifuni for our next journey to Tanzania!

An amazing and one of a kind experience
From the moment we landed in Arusha we immediately felt the welcoming vibe of the country. This feeling was even more enhanced when we met our tour guide, Sifuni. He was kind, accommodating and knowledgeable.
He took us quickly from the airport to the hotel and showed us all of the landmarks and areas along the way. The next morning he picked us up bright and early to begin our journey. We started at Tarangire National Park, then proceeded to Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara, where we were able to see many different animals including elephants and giraffes. Sifuni detailed amazing facts about each animal and other interesting facts along the way.
Aside from the national parks , the lodging accommodations were also extremely fantastic. Each lodge and camp was unique with an amazing staff and amenities. With the visit to these national parks being a lifelong dream of mine I am more than happy and satisfied with how the tour and trip went. I would go back in an instant.
Thank you Sifuni!

Professional, responsible, attentive and great communication. A choice that won’t regret.
Amazing Safari experience with KASC! They’ve shown professionalism and hospitality since the beginning of my quotes inquiry. They were particularly attentive to my personalized safari preferences with prompt response. The communication was smooth and highly-efficient.
The Safari was beyond words. Our experienced and professional guide Yao knew exactly where to go and what to see. We encountered countless lions and of course all Big Five. We even saw a rare wild dog and more than one black rhinos!
He also shared a lot of Tanzania culture with us during the trip.
I have to say that accommodations elevated our trip to an unexpected great level. Not only did KASC went to great length to secure rooms of Kubu Kubu Tented lodge , one that I expected the most, their solution to an accommodation issue was well- managed and quite impressive. One of the lodges made a mistake and didn’t reserve rooms for us( they did make up for it and showed us great gesture during our later stay). However ,KASC was thoughtful enough and swiftly moved us to an even better lodge. Moreover, they brought us wine over dinner and kindly upgraded our lodge for the next day. We got to enjoy one more day of breathtaking panoramic Serengeti view and infinity pool. We cannot be more grateful for their kind gestures.
Tanzania Safari was a long-time dream come true. Thanks very much for making it an unforgettable experience. We would totally return. Highly recommend Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club to everyone.

Amazing, better than everything we expected!
Today was our last day of our incredible 5 days safari with our amazing guide, Justin!
We really enjoyed the time - started from Tarangire Nationalpark to Manayara Lake, two days Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro. Justin showed us all the big 5 although it was very hard to find the rhinos. Justin explained so many things about the animals, culture and landscape to us and answered every question. He always went the extra mile with us. We felt very safe and the drive was great during the whole safari. Our highlights were special arrangements during our accommodations e.g., surprises like flowers on the bed, honeymoon cake and music by the locals. The lodges have been very unique and special. All the people have been very friendly the whole time and the food was delicious. We can highly recommend this safari with Justin and hope we will meet him once again!

Excellent safari with fantastic guide
We were slightly nervous booking online and sending money across but we 100% made the best choice with KASC.
The booking process was smooth and simple and we were provided full information on the itinerary.
Our guide Gasper was superb. So knowledgeable and brilliant at finding all the animals. We felt bad for falling asleep on him as we were both worn out from Kilimanjaro lol.
We went to tarangire National park, Ngorongoro crater, Serengeti and lake Manyara. I’d probably skip lake Manyara as after the other 3 it wasn’t really necessary.
Our lodgings were fabulous, staying at Eileen’s trees in and the Serengeti heritage luxury tented camp.
Would definitely use KASC again. Fantastic company from start to finish

Big 5 success
Great communication and adjustments to fit our needs. Great value for price. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the animals, very responsive to our needs, and a joy to spend 6 days with. If I could change anything, we would spend more days and add a night safari. Trip of a lifetime. It was nerve wracking planning this trip with a company we knew nothing about, but they delivered and we have no regrets.
