Perfect safari adventure!
We had an absolutely amazing safari and so much fun throughout the entire trip! We were lucky enough to see pretty much every animal you could hope to see in Tanzania, including some of the rarer ones like leopards and rhinos.
The combination of two days in the Serengeti and one day in the Ngorongoro Crater was perfect and, in my opinion, one of the best safari packages you can choose.
Our guide, Michael, was fantastic. He was incredibly friendly and always went the extra mile to get us as close as possible and give us the best views of the animals, while still being very respectful of the wildlife and their natural environment.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. An easy 5 out of 5 stars from us, and I would definitely recommend this safari to anyone visiting Tanzania!

The tour operator arranged an excellent safari and is incredibly friendly and helpful.
We had an absolutely amazing Tanzania safari! Our trip lasted 3 days—two days in the Serengeti and one day in the Ngorongoro Crater. We were incredibly lucky to spot the Big Five, along with a wide variety of other wildlife across the plains.
Our guide, Assad Guga, was fantastic. He was extremely friendly, always going the extra mile to get us close-up views of the animals while patiently explaining everything about them.
On top of that, our return flight was suddenly delayed, which put us at risk of missing our connecting flight. Both Assad and the tour operator, Happy, stepped in to coordinate with the airline and made sure we made it back on time. We really appreciate their help!
All in all, this was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. A solid 5-star rating—highly recommended!

A Wonderful Safari with Warm and Thoughtful Service
We had a wonderful experience with Kilipath African Safari and were very happy with the entire trip.
Our guide, Assad Guga, was incredibly warm, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the safari. Thanks to his knowledge, patience, and dedication, we were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five—an unforgettable experience.
What impressed us even more was the care we received beyond the safari itself. When our return flight was delayed and we encountered some unexpected problems, Assad and Happy, the owner of Kilipath African Safari, went above and beyond to help us. They did everything they could to find solutions and support us during a stressful situation.
Assad is not only an excellent guide, but also a genuinely kind and warm-hearted person. We felt very well looked after from beginning to end and would wholeheartedly recommend Kilipath African Safari to anyone planning a safari.

Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience with Kilipath, and a huge part of that was thanks to Lydia! She was incredibly helpful from the very beginning and was always there for us whenever we needed anything. She was always available, patient, kind and ready to help, making sure everything was taken care of and that we felt comfortable throughout the whole trip. She really went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for all the time and effort she put into helping us. We couldn’t have asked for better support!
For our safari, Lydia arranged everything with their partner company, Serengeti African Tours, and everything went perfectly! Our experience was incredible, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.
We also want to give a special mention to Joffrey, who made our time in Arusha truly special! He was incredibly helpful, friendly and knowledgeable, and took us around the city, showing us local places away from the usual tourist spots. Thanks to him, we got to experience the real local culture and learn so much about Tanzanian history, traditions and everyday life. He even taught us some Swahili! He took us to so many beautiful places, including a coffee tour, a visit to the Maasai, and the amazing Materuni waterfalls. He shared so much knowledge with us and made every visit interesting and memorable. We really appreciated his kindness, his enthusiasm and the effort he put into showing us a different side of Tanzania.
A huge thank you to Lydia, Joffrey and the whole team for making this trip such a wonderful experience. We would definitely recommend Kilipath to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania! ❤️

The best safari experience
We booked a four day safari as our first time on a safari.
Lidia was in touch ahead of our arrival to answer any questions and give us more information about the trip. She also met us at our hotel for a pre briefing.
Our guide was Assad, who from the moment he picked us up we knew we’d struck gold with our guide.
On researching safari holidays I had read the guide can make or break the trip and that is certainly the case. We were in a shared safari and Assad did the introductions and shared the plan for the trip.
In two days we’re covered the Big 5. Assad knew each national park like the back of hand and we were the only vehicle to find a leopard, cheetah and her cub and a black rhino. Plus lots of up close sightings of other animals, Assad answered all of our questions and told us a lot about the wildlife. He was respectful to brute keeping his distance and staying on the tracks. He was accommodating to all the groups request. Navigated some unbelievable roads and looked after our every need. Stopped to help another vehicle in need, a genuinely great guy!
When my husband was unwell one day and didn’t feel up to the safari. Lidia and Assad arranged for another vehicle to take him to our planned accommodation that night. Assad had to arrange the paperwork to separate him from the group which wasn’t straight forwards. It was only my birthday whilst on safari and Kilipath arranged for a cake in the accommodation which was a lovely surprise.
I would 100% recommend Kilipath safaris & when we rebook would want to make sure it was with Assad. We’ve had the most amazing stay and cannot recommend Assad and Killipath enough.

Great organisation and really friendl and nice people
We had a great 5 day safari. Lydia did a great job organising everything and the safari itself was wonderful. We saw every animal we wanted to see. And our group and guide was also amazing. We had a really great time. Thank you Kilipath Safari!
Great Safari Experience with Top-Notch Organization and Service
I recently booked a 5-day safari plus extra with Kilipath Safari, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish!
My organizer, Happy, was wonderful. She was remarkably responsive and supportive from the moment I first expressed interest right up until the day I flew out of Tanzania. On a few occasions when things didn't go strictly as planned, Happy stepped in to help right away, whether it was early in the morning or late at night. Probably because Kilipath didn't have enough clients on that day to run a standalone group, she arranged for me to join a tour with Makini Tanzania Safari, which turned out to be a seamless and great arrangement.
Our driver/guide from Makini, Burton (or Baton), was exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable. Between occasional radio contacts with rangers and sharp observation using his binoculars, he consistently found targeted animals and positioned the vehicle in the best possible spot for optimal viewing—all while driving safely. His experience and keen eye made our game drives a highlight of the trip.
We were also accompanied by chef Pascoe (or Pascal). He did a great job preparing a variety of tasty dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It was especially nice at lunchtime: while tourists from other companies were eating much simpler (and often cold) meals, we enjoyed solid, delicious hot lunches out in the bush.
On the last day, another guide, Emanuel, came to pick me up and drove me to the Materuni waterfalls and coffee plantation. On our walk to and from the waterfalls, there were some muddy and slippery sections, and Emanuel held my hand to make sure I wouldn't slip. Beyond his thoughtful care, I truly enjoyed our conversations. He is a deeply conscientious, dedicated young man who cares deeply about supporting underprivileged children in society, and I learned so much from him about Tanzanian life.
All in all, I highly recommend both Kilipath Safari and Makini Tanzania Safari for anyone looking for a well-coordinated, personal, and rewarding tour in Tanzania!

Great experience
We had a great experience with Kilipath!
Although we did the safari with another company due to availability, Kilipath organized everything for us and made the whole process very easy.
Priscah was very kind, friendly and helpful throughout the whole experience. They picked us up from the airport, took us back to our hotel after the safari and arranged our transfer to the airport.
Everything was well organized!
Thank you, Priscah, for everything!

We really appreciated their good organization, reliability, and the support they provided throughout the process. Having everything arranged in advance gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying about the logistics.

Really nice experience
The Safari itself was great, we managed to see almost anything there is to find in all the different areas and the guide and chef were super nice and helpful all the time.
Only recommendation, avoid campsites unless you really know what your signing for. You can contact your operator per different accommodation options. (We didn't know that)
