unforgettable safari experience
For some years it was high on my list to go with my daughter (13 years old) travelling, let her see elephants in tarangire . This year was the year, we went to Tarangire, serengeti, ngorongoro crater with Kilimanjaro budget safaris in Tanzania and it was an unforgettable experience. For me to see how my daughter is experiencing her great adventure, I will never forget it and I am very grateful for having these memories now. I booked a private safari of 5 days 4 nights, wiliam was our guide and driver, we were fortunate to be in his company, we not only enjoyed his professionality but also we had a very good time together and I thank him so much for giving us this experience! We visited 4 parks and masai culture,
Tarangire National Park, were we saw elephants for the first time! Ngorongoro Conservation Area (which is inside an unactive volcano) and Serengeti National Park, here my daughter also celebrated her 13th birthday at The Sound of Silence, at diner the entire Sound of Silence team came singing and dancing for her, you should see her face! Unforgettable!!! Thank you, william (owner) and your entire team, for such a hart warming birthday celebration!!
After the Serengeti back on the East African Highway for an African massage hahaha, it is the worst highway in Tanzania, it is a very long dirt road), were we spent our last night at planet lodge. The next day we continued our journey to Zanzibar for more amazing experiences.
Thank you very much kilimanjaro budget safaris , william, for giving us such a wonderful, everlasting experience.
Amazing experience, amazaing organisation and amazing guides.
The company did everything perfect. From the transport from airport to hotel then to summit of Kili. They provided us with everything we need and supported us the whole way of the journey. And what is the most important value for money was great.
Definetly woud reccomend to everyone.

Very organized tour operator, easily accessible
I booked the 8 days Lemosho route for Kilimanjaro. I really enjoyed the tour and feel very safe because of our guide Rashid. He was very concerned about our safety. Only at night it got very cold, but a second sleeping bag was immediately brought to us. Wiliam and his team make a very good job. I reached the peak in 6 hours and would recommend the tour to anyone.

Exceeded my expectations
I was a bit nervous going with a local operator for my first safari in Tanzania - particularly with respect to their ability to manage the logistics of adding me to a group since I was traveling solo and of handling ferrying me from and to my home base in Moshi (rather than Arusha). KBSC however exceeded my expectations overall. My trip consisted of a private walking safari in Arusha National Park followed by a 4-day conventional group game drive through the "northern circuit" parks. Both parts were well run, with notably an excellent guide for the game drive, one who had the knowledge and experience to not "follow the herd" - i.e. other safari vehicles - when looking for game viewing opportunities, and we were treated to all that we could want, including black rhinos, leopard and myriad others. He also had great answers to all our questions about local flora, culture, etc. The tents and lodges were we stayed were very basic but adequate, and the food a bit bland and monotonous (lots of chicken and rice...), but maybe that was to be expected for a "budget" safari. Transportation logistics were flawless. Overall, I feel comfortable recommending this company for your safari needs.

What a trip !! Awsome organisation
We did 9 days safari with Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris. That was awsome. Everything was as expectected. We wer picked up at the airport by a wonderful guide. He drive us all around kenya and explained us all about kenya usages, wild animals etc.. This was a great expérience. With him we discovered a wonderfull country with beautifull people.
I fully recommand kili budget safari for people who want to do a safari in kenya. It is a great expérience for a great price.

Day Trip to Lake Natron
We went for a day trip with to Lake Natron via Ketumbeine with Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris and it was amazing. We had an early start as the driver picked us from our hotel at 6.30 am and drove us towards Longido and then we branched into Ketumbeine where we visited a Maasai Boma - Elder Jacob homestead and we had a fun expreience as we watched them releasing herds of cattle and goats.
After the visit we dove to Lake Natron via Oldonyo Lengai and it was just great. Watching the flamingos wading in the lake, picnic lunch under accaccia trees in Engaresero and having the place just to ourselves
We had so much fun on this short trip.
Highly recommended!

Amazing Climb
We had a such a great time treking up Kilimanjaro using the Rongai route which approaches the mountain from the Kenyan side but gave us outstanding views of the landscape in Amboseli.
We were a group of 4 university students from Scotland and on a tight budget, however William was very reasonable and gave us a great price.
The guides/porters/cook were outstanding. They ensured that we were safe and well looked after including great meals and comfy sleeping quarters always during our climb. We all reached the summit successfully and are grateful to the efforts of the Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris team.

Raw Bush Adventure
Tanzania is beautiful and Kilimanjaro Budget Safaris hosted our safari very smoothly. The last 7 days of our camping safari have been filled with wild safari adventure. It has been wonderful from the moment we landed in Tz and started our safari the following day in the morning.
Major favourite points of the safari are black rhino in Ngorongoro, dancing with Hadzabe bushmen, picnic lunch in the bush, waking up to natural African sounds, enjoying the African sunset after game drives........ infact it has been great. We chose camping option rather than sleeping in lodges to experience the raw bush experience and there are no regrets as it has been quite comfortable and the delicious food complements to the our private camping cook Jackson.
Sleeping in a tent in the parks is very exciting as the night is filled with sounds of wild animals passing near the campsite. The game drives in Serengeti are very special as you follow the wildebeest in the open expansive plains for miles.
Wonderful experience at the right price. This has been a very different experience from seeing animals in the zoo and will come back sometime for more.
