By far the best tour operator to do the Serengeti and surrounding national parks on a budget
I chose the 5-day safari option on a budget - it was the cheapest 5-day safari to Serengeti and surroundings I could find. The itinerary started with one day in the Tarangire NP, two days Serengeti, one day Ngroro Ngroro Crater and finally one day Lake Manyara.
It was a group-join safari, meaning that there were other people in the jeep which I did not know. We were 6 people in total, and there was a fridge in the jeep with coke, beer and water. All of us did the same game drives, but all other passengers had paid more than me. I paid USD 890 for accommodation in tents for two of the nights, the other two nights were in a pretty decent lodge (no ac, but other than that very nice). The other people in the jeep paid 1500 USD each, or more. They were then in fancier lodges for the nights where I stayed in a tent. The game drives were EXACTLY the same for the people who paid twice what I paid and me.
Ok, showers were cold in the tent camps. But hey, it is a budget option! I did not mind. Food was alright, and I did not feel that I was missing out on anything in my tents. In the tent camps you can meet cool other travellers that are also travelling at a budget, and you can enjoy the most beautiful sunrise in the serengeti.
At this point I also would like to praise my dear tour operator Kilipath, and especially their service worker Happy who helped me organise the whole thing. She picked me up, and helped me to organise a bus to Dar-Es-Salaam on the last day (she went to the booking office together with me). I am 100 % assured that if there had been any other problems, Happy would help me. She also checked in about daily to hear if everything is alright.
I am sure that Happy / Kilipath African safaris also can help you organise staying in more fancy lodges instead of tents if you prefer that. But of course it will cost more ;)

Very attentive throughout the entire process of the safari
It was a stroke of luck to find Kilipath after a long search. Happy explained everything in great detail, accommodating our pickup requests and answering all our questions. The accommodations were much better than expected compared to other operators' prices. We were also lucky to have Denis as our guide and driver; he was magnificent, constantly making sure we spotted the 'must-see' animals on every route and reacting quickly to any setbacks. I highly recommend this tour (in our case, the 4-days/3-nights one) and this company. Even though we are Spanish, we did the tour in English along with two other couples, which made it more fun, enjoyable, and educational

Amazing Experience
Everything was very well organized. Happy helped a lot, anwered all the questions, even arranged hot ballooning for me, which turned out to be a lifetime experience. The feeling of flying over savannah with giraffes and zebras wandering below was amazing! Our guide was very knowledgable and shared lots of facts about local wildlife. We were served 3 delicious hot meals every day. There was a solo traveller in the group who had a birthday during the safari. Imagine her surprise when she had got a birthday cake at the Ngoro Ngoro capmsite! I really appreciated this personal and attentive to detail attitude from all Kilipath staff.

The service was excellent, Happy looked after us from the day we arrived till the day we left.
Everything was smoothly organized and coordinated. Happy, the organizer with the company went out of her way to make sure we got the best service possible. Our guide, Dennis was helpful and made sure we saw all the animals the safaris could offer. Overall, we had the best service and hope to be back very soon
One of the best company I met in Tanzania
This was my second time to visit Tanzania and did the safari. Last year it was another company and it was kind of a disaster but these guys, Elisha, Justin and Daudi know that they are doing. They are great with spotting animals and great drivers too. It only took them few minutes to change the wheels when there is a problem, and trust me you don’t want to be stuck in the middle of the safari with mot work vehicle.
Overall, we did see all big 5, not just see but bunch of them. Everyone in the group loved the experience.

Wonderful! Amazing! Brilliant! Professional!
From start to finish this was a brilliant experience. At short notice we booked a 2 day safari. The communication from Happy was swift, informative, responsive and clear. I got 7 quotes in all from companies and checked with chat gpt and this company came out top! Everything was smooth and of a high standard.
Transfers were arranged, flights, accommodation everything!! Every person we met was kind, helpful and lovely.
The safari was amazing. We saw loads of elephants and zebras and gnus. We saw lions and hippos and rhinos. We saw a giraffe and monkeys. Lions stalking zebras, a gnu giving birth to its baby, bay elephants playing. It was everything we hoped for and more. The food was just amazing. The guides were knowledgeable and we met some interesting and like minded travellers. On day one we were lucky that no one else was sharing our Jeep on day 2 we joined others and worried it would be crowded but it just isn’t and it was a great experience. Going home we were transported in a lovely car back to the airport and saw Mount Kilimanjaro peak through the clouds. Again wow!!!!
There are loads of companies offering safaris but I would highly recommend you book with this company. We were looked after so well and had an amazing once in a life time experience. We communicated with Happy. She is super quick to respond and made everything easy and stress free.
I highly recommend this company if you want an amazing experience at a great price

Great experience. Lydia and team were hugely helpful throughout!
My 4-day tour was all I could’ve hoped for. The safari experiences in all three parks were filled with animals and amazing views. On top of the tour experience, Lydia and team handle airport and hotel pick up/drop off and any other question/concern you might have. Great experience all around!
