Highly recommended!!
I did two days of private safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro and I was very satisfied. I saw all the big five but the leopard. Mike who is my guide was quick in getting in finding the animals and a good spot for viewing. Trust me, it gets so crowded and because most of us are doing this probaly once in our lifetime, you wanna have the best vantage view point- Mike is good in finding those spots. Another thing that I want to mention is how they had treated me as a member of their family. I had issues with my Kilimanjaro climb operator and they went above and beyond to help me. They drove me from Arusha to Moshi (about 2.5 hours) and helped me find a hotel. They also stayed with me until the Kili operator whom I booked my climb came. To me, that is a good value you should be looking when choosing for a tour guide- one that really takes care of it's client. I highly recommend them!!!

I AM SURE I MADE AN EXCELLENT DECISION WHEN I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS SAFARI WITH KILI SERENGETI
IT HAS BEEN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL TO MANY PLACES, BUT THIS KIND OF TRIP IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS "OUT OF THIS WORLD", IT IS AMAZING. EVERYDAY WE WERE SURPRISED FOR SOMETHING NEW, A NEW EXPERIENCE, A NICE VIEW OF LANDSCAPE, SOMETHING DIFFERENT OF THE ANIMALS, DELIGHTFUL SUNRISES AND AMAZING SUNSETS, AND I INSIST, MAKING THIS TRIP WITH KILI SERENGETI WAS FOR SURE A VERY GOOD DECISION

Outstanding Operator
Communication was excellent throughout, suggesting and adapting itinerary to suit our requirements, helpful suggestions given prior to travel. The fact that apart from tips and beer the quoted price was for all took away stress of budgeting and was excellent value for money for a well organised, stress free trip.
Service throughout was outstanding from Eman (CEO), Shafi (Driver) and John (Cook).
Safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Manyara were beyond expectations, accommodation was great for budget camping option, vehicle was comfortable, and the guides purchased blankets for us as our luggage failed to arrive via Abu Dhabi which had all the warm clothing (it is needed for Ngorongoro). Food produced by John was outstanding, was not expecting to put on weight on safari but somehow managed to. Quality was excellent and quantity sometimes too much! Saw the big 5 plus more on safari. Responsible driver who had the knack of finding things and followed the rules unlike some other company vehicles who were witnessed going off road and haranguing animals.
Highly recommended safari company, 7 nights and 8 days that were truly unforgettable. Eman knows what he is doing and creates a travel option to suit budgets and interests. Thankyou to Eman, Shafi and John for creating an unforgettable experience. Do not hesitate to use this company.

Amazing experience !! We are very happy we chose Kili Serengeti Guides.
We decided to book only a few days before the safari and Emman offered us options that suited our needs and our student budget! The communication with the staff is very good and easy, the always reply within an hour. They picked us up at JRO airport on our arrival and were very welcoming and helpful! From day one until the end, they adapted to our needs!
Our guide, Mike, was truly professional and fun. We enjoyed being with him a lot because he knew the place very well, gave us interesting information about geological, geographical and biological aspects of the parks we visited.
Thanks to John, the food was amazing and made us feel at home and the drinks very good, thanks to Gordon's.
We would definitely recommend this company for a great and authentic safari experience, they had our needs at heart the entire time and we really appreciated that !
We keep very great memories from this 4 days experience.

wonderful Tanzania safari days
During the booking phase for our holidays we were really curious about booking a safari experience. In search of a "taste" we choose a two-day tour through the Tarangire & Lake Manyara national parks. Just a few minutes after our enquiry we received an answer from Emman, the managing director of Kili Serengeti guides. His suggestions of accomodations were perfect and all in all there was no need to thange anything of his offer.
Really excited we landed at Arusha airport on the first of June. Emman collected us himself and brought us to the hostel. Everytime talking to him was easy and a pleasure. After meeting our guide Mike (by far the coolest guide we ever met during any tours) in the hostel, Emman gave us a ride for a restaurant because we knew nothing in Arusha.
The next day Mike collected us early in the morning and the 2 day adventure started. He gave us so much information about the country and the people during the ride to Tarangire. He showed us some really nice souvenir shops aswell but the highlight was the game drive during the day. With all his patience he explained everything, giving so many insights especially about the birds. We were really lucky sawing every animal in Tarangire.
The evening we spend in a really nice panorama tent camp at Lake Manyara. Meeting the cook John there was a pleasure aswell. The food was so damn delicious and we had a wonderful stay there (especially seeing the milky way during the night there).
The next day we started after a great breakfast from John to the Lake Manyara Game drive. Like a little jungle it was so nice to see the elephants, hippos, buffalos, zebras, giraffes etc.
In the afternoon, Mike drove us back to Arusha were we met Emman and he gave us a second ride for dinner again. Thank you so much for this.
The next day he showed us his little office and drove us back to the airport.
All in all; this experience was amazing. From the beginning to the end, everything was so well organized and it was great to see, that Emman, Mike and John took so much care of us.
So please; if you want to book a safari in Tanzania: choose Kili Serengeti Guides; you won't regret it! (especially for this price)
With much love from Hamburg

Professionaly guidance and services offered by heart, passion and respect for nature,
We spent our honeymoon in Tanzania and decided to start with safari then Zanzibar.
Unfortunately we spent only two beautiful days in safari with this professional and devoted people.
We were picked up from the airport in the evening before safari by Emman, the business owner, who explained us the next two day’s itinerary.
The next morning our guide Mike came to pick up us from the hotel to start the amazing journey.
In the first day he drove and guided us through all Tarangire National Park, spotting many animals. He stopped to see every animal and every important tree, plant or other thing, also explaining them in details.
We spent the night at the Panorama Safari Camp near lake Manyara where we enjoyed a great dinner made by Chef John (samosa dish was my favourite) watched the sunrise next morning and headed for Ngorongoro crater.
There we had another amazing day, spotting all the animals with their offsprings.
The next day we had some situations with our flights and Emman helped us all through, even if this wasn’t his business.
We had such an wonderful experience in safari and this thanks to this great people and team.
I recommend Kili Serengeti Guides with all my heart if you are looking for the best from safari.

Fantastic and flexible day trip
We were in Arusha on business and had an extra day to ourselves before we left that night. Emman was extremely helpful and quick to reply, setting us up with a day trip itinerary for Arusha National Park which left early and got us back in time to make our flight. We were able to arrange all of this within 24hrs of the excursion. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided great service. Highly recommend this if you are just two people because you get the jeep to yourself as compared to being put in with another group.

Our guide was nice, pedagogue, eager to explain us tanzanian culture, tradition, nature...
We'll certainly come back !

Excelent service and personalized experience!
I am very happy with the service provided by Kili Serengeti Guides! I would definitely recommend their services! The service provided was very good from the begining. Communications were fluid and prompt and the owner of the Company was always responsive and helpful. The Team meet with us on the previous day to Safari to provide some explanation and they even gave us a lift to a local Museum and took us back to the Hotel afterwards (no extra charge). Safari was amazing and Mike (the driver and guide) surely knew what he was doing, his experience could show. He was very kind and did a very good job! We had a wonderful time and it was an amazing life experience. Thank you for everything!

What a wonderful experience! Kilimanjaro and Safari were amazing!
Kili Serengeti Guides is a small but growing company. I was referred by a friend to Emmanuel. Communication from the start was easy. I did both the safari and the kili climb. On the safari side, Mike and John were amazing people! They made me feel like i was their family. Mike tried his best to show me all the big 5 african animals and i was able to see all of them. Rhino and Leopard were the hardest to spot but Mike did his best to show me these two hardest animals. I basically saw a couple hundred lions, 2 rhinos and 4 or 5 leopards and many many more amazing animals! John was an amazing cook! He made sure i liked the food and he's a really funny guy. Mike and John definitely made my stay in Africa amazing. Not only was the safari memorable, i've missed Mike and John! They were amazing.
Kilimanjaro Hike was just insane! It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Wouldn't be able to do it without Dave, Ali, and the incredible team. Dive himself climbed kili more than 75 times. He constantly motivated me at times when i was too exhausted to even talk. He would encourage and guide me constantly. Ali was just amazing! such a nice person. He was my personal butler basically. He took care of me, spoilt me. Can't ask for a better team! I was a little bit sick on the last day of descend and they brought me to the hospital after my climb, and made sure i was progressing well.
Look no further if you want a fantastic african experience. Imma, Mike, Dave and the team cannot be missed! Enjoy!
