Local, very helpful and flexible
We, a family with 3 young adults (19, 20, 23) and 2 adults (51 & 52), traveled for 7 days/6 nights with Kili Tanzanito Caminos. Gabriel, our driver/guide, helped us customise our camping safari optimally according to time, budget and wishes. He knew the spectacular and off-the-beaten-track spots and places (Empakai crater is amazing and the crater highlands track towards the crater even more; Longido local campsite is the real local stuff, away from tourists); he knew a lot about birds, animals and the country; and made us feel safe at all times. Masawe, our cook, managed to come up with delicious and generous meals (we never eat so much!) 3 times a day, under all circumstances (nothing beats freshly baked buns in the morning, a pick nick in the bush with a nice cool salad, or a nice comforting meal after a long drive).
Our train from Arusha to Dar Es Salaam was cancelled one hour before departure and Andrew, the manager, helped us to find a night bus on the spot. This was very much appreciated.
We warmly recommend this local operator.

Private family summit Kilimanjaro Aug2025 via Machame Route
I wanted to use a local operator so I was sure I was supporting the local economy and found this company to be easy to deal with - straightforward in communication, timely in response, reliable, and efficient, and excellent value for money.
Andrew runs a family orientated business with a team of drivers, guides, chef, and porters that have worked together for a number of years and generate true warmth and empathy for each other and for their customers. At all times we felt safe, supported and prioritised which made our experience all the more enjoyable.
I cant recommend them highly enough.

What an excellent trip !
What an excellent trip ! I recommend the Kilimanjaro trek with Kili Tanzanite and Andrew. We chose the 7-day Machame route, but after consulting with guide Juma, we changed it to 6 days, and it was a good decision. A huge plus is the possibility of a partial refund from the agency if you shorten the trek by one day. Guides Juma and Edward are undoubtedly the best in the world. Very friendly and helpful. We started trekking immediately after arrival (24 hours of travel and only a few hours of sleep), which took a lot of our energy, so if you have the option of staying overnight before the trek, that would probably be a better option. Also, be aware that the trek isn't easy. I recommend Diamox tablets for altitude sickness, but consult your doctor beforehand. We suffered from severe diarrhea during the trek, which made the climb very difficult, but the support of the guides gave us the strength to reach the summit. Regardless, I definitely recommend it, it's worth it. Ask the agency about additional costs, such as luggage bags and the number of people in the group, as we had probably about 11 people, and we were expecting 7-9 staff for our two. A plus is the ability to accommodate a specific diet, for example, vegetarian, so it's worth asking. Thank you for the best trip of my life. Edward, thank you for lending me your sunglasses for the summit attempt and for supporting me every day :) Juma, thank you for lending me my trekking poles, and keep practicing climbing lianas, because we have to do it again :) See you next time on the Mount Meru trek.

Outstanding Safari Experience
Outstanding Safari Experience with Kili Tanzanite Safaris
I booked my safari through Safari Bookings and compared several operators. Eventually, I chose Kili Tanzanite Safaris, and it was absolutely the right decision.
Booking a safari from abroad always involves a certain level of uncertainty — especially when you have to send deposits to a company you don’t know personally. From the very beginning, Andrew made me feel completely confident and comfortable. His communication was clear, honest, fast, and very professional. He was always available, extremely friendly, and flexible, and he tailored the entire safari exactly to our wishes.
The price–performance ratio was excellent — honestly, the service we received was even better than expected for the price. Everything was delivered exactly as promised, from airport transfers to accommodation and daily planning.
Our guide and driver, Jerry, was simply outstanding. A very cool guy, extremely experienced, and highly professional. You could immediately tell that he knows the parks, the animals, and the people very well — everyone knew him. He is truly a role model for what a safari guide should be. Thanks to him, the safari was perfectly organized, relaxed, and unforgettable.
Our itinerary included Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Arusha, and we stayed at the Four Seasons Serengeti as well. Everything ran smoothly — pickups, drop-offs, timing, and changes along the way. The team was very flexible and always adapted to our preferences.
Overall, this safari exceeded all expectations. I can highly recommend Kili Tanzanite Safaris to anyone without hesitation. If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional, and fair safari operator in Tanzania, this is the one.
Five stars from me — absolutely deserved.
