Unforgettable safari
It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with Juneid from start to finish. I loved the stunning nature and the warmth of the people made it truly special. The positive energy and the vibe was amazing, and we had some really great conversations. Thank you for everything!

The Great 5!
I had the chance to do a safari trip in Tanzania. I’ve researched many operators and came down to ‘Kilipath’. I booked a 7 day safari and got the chance to see the most beautiful sceneries and sleep at very beautiful places.
Guide:
I was assigned to a guide named ‘John’. John is a very pleasant person to be around with. He is fluent in English and knows his stuff! In every National Parc he gave us information about the animals, and also the plants, trees and birds! In Lake Manyara, he explained us how the termite lives. He also gave us the Latin names, which, unfortunately, I already forgot.
Car:
We drove in a 6/7 seater Toyota Land Cruiser. Apart from the great looks and the incredible V6 sound, it was very comfortable. Some drives were very long because of how big the Parcs are, but it was never tiring and didn’t feel any discomfort. It was a 4x4 and drove trough sand and mud effortlessly. The roof opens up which gives you the ability to stand, and use binoculars... Read more and/or your camera.
Itinerary:
Kilipath made us an itinerary which we accepted. They made the driving plan and booked the stays (more about those later). One of the drives was a bit long. But that was because we were ‘hunting lions’. We drove a bit far into Serengeti to find lions. John delivered. He knew the roads the other guides were talking about and were to find the lions. Drove there, stood in awe, made pictures and left for the nightly stay.
Kilipath planned the visits to the National Parcs in pleasant order. Starting at Tarangire to get used to each other and the game drive. And then proceeding to the big Serengeti. After that we went down the Ngorongoro crater and finished the safari trip with the smaller Lake Manyara. Lake Manyara was only small because of flooding. Normally it is also a bigger Parc and longer game drive.
Overnight stays:
Kilipath booked the most special and one time very secluded place to stay. One of the stays was at ‘Suricata Boma Lodge’. This place was really special and actually the best places I’ve ever stayed in. The staff was welcoming and the place was beautiful. The gym and the pool both had a great view over a lake and a nice Baobab tree.
The most secluded stay we had was at Misako Luxury Tented Lodge. This lodge gives you the feeling you really are in the midst of the wild. Our room had a normal and an outside shower. The pinnacle of this lodge was the jacuzzi outside. It gives you the view of the setting sun. We had two beautiful views this night. The sunset on the right and clouds and lightning on the left. Keep in mind, at night you are not allowed to walk alone from your room to the restaurant. You have to call a staff member through the walkie talkie provided and they will come pick you up. This is because the wildlife can walk through the lodge area. When we woke up we were greeted by some grazing gazelles. They also had interest in us and came close to check us out!
Wildlife:
John made sure we saw as much wild animals as possible. We got to see the Big 5, the Ugly 5 and two of the Small five. We went home with a lot of beautiful pictures and memories!
Overall:
Kilipath has delivered more than we expected. John was the best guide we could hope for. He made this an unforgettable experience. If we ever come back to do another safari, we will book with Kilipath and ask for John again!

Excellent, we had an amazing trip!
We had an unforgettable safari experience! The communication with Kilipath beforehand was excellent—quick, clear, and helpful. The team kept us well-informed of any changes to the itinerary, like when a lodge was swapped out due to feedback from previous guests.
The food throughout the journey was fantastic, with great attention paid to vegetarian options, which we really appreciated. Every day, we looked forward to discovering what delicious treats were packed for lunch, it was always something tasty, and we were never disappointed. Enjoying those meals in the most stunning picnic spots right in the heart of the parks made it even more special.
Our guide, John, was absolutely amazing. He asked us which animals we were hoping to see and went above and beyond to find them (the leopard and baby elephant, check!). We were lucky enough to spot the Big Five! Especially the leopard eating his/her lunch in a tree and going into another tree was truly amazing. Also the lion cubs... Read more have really stole my heart. Next to the Big Five, we also saw the Ugly Five, and even two of the Small Five ;-). John had so much knowledge about the wildlife, parks and plants and could tell us a lot of interesting facts (will never forget that a zebra is black). This made the experience even richer.
The accommodations were beautiful, especially the tented camp in the heart of the Serengeti, an experience we’ll never forget. Everywhere we stayed, we were met with warmth and incredible hospitality.
We can’t recommend this trip enough, it was truly the adventure of a lifetime!

Provider amazing experience on whole other level.
I was amazed by every minute spent while them. From the start energy of our guide Dave was on top level, he told us so many great things about animals, culture, safari, places we stayed. I wasnt execting to see all big five animals but Dave got to all of them. I liked most Serengeti because of the weather and all differents kind of animaln. Stay was also great, espeacially of our first night in Bush Camp. I would chose those guys again if I come.

Excelent service from the start to the end.
We went on a 4 day 3 nights shared safari to Tangerie, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Everything was perfect and well organized. The drivers was excelent with a lot of knowledge, the food was good and the accomodation gave us different experiences from luxury to camping in tents with a sleepingbag. We saw all of the big 5 and will highly reccomend Kilipath African Safari. Asante Sana to Heavenlight and the crew.
Great
Very communicative, Prisca was excellent in planning my trip and all of my custom transport.
