Amazing Birthday Experience
I did a solo 3 days safari in the Masaai Mara and Lake Nakuru with ThinknScene Safaris. Honestly, this Safari stood out for me. From the start, Philip was easy to talk to and provided me with helpful tips regarding the trip. I’m glad Philip ensured that all my expectations were met. The driver he gave me was quite experienced and knowledgeable. I was able to see most animals in the expansive Mara, the guy has wonderful personality and I felt comfortable talking to him throughout. This was my birthday trip and ThinkScene Safaris organized a special surprise for me in the evening when I retired to my lodge. This was a gesture of a lifetime and I will always thank this operator for the excellent service.

Amazing trip!
We did a private one-week safaritour in Tanzania with personal driver/guide. We started in Arusha and visited Tengeru cultural tourism programme. Afterwards we headed for Serengeti national park, Ngorongoro national park and Tarangire national park. Before we left Arusha we had a meeting with Rose from Classic Journeys who had put together our trip. Everything was organised perfectly. In the national parks we stayed in different lodges which all were excellent. The staff was always very friendly, the lodges and rooms were beautiful and very luxure, we had full meal and for daytime we got lunch boxes. Drinks for the whole week were available in a cooling box in the jeep. Our personal driver/guide was very friendly, he had a lot of knowledge and experience with this tour and we had a lot of fun, too :) We made loads of beautiful memories. We are very happy with all of the organisation and thankful to all the people who made this happen. Totally recommend!

Kiliclimb Africa Safaris provided the best experience ever.
As a couple, we dreamed of exploring the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater in 2024 but we
did not really know how to make the dream a doable reality. After an exhaustive Internet
search and numerous calls to different companies, we found Kiliclimb African Safaris, a
company with genuinely personal service and local knowledge.
From the first conversation with the owners, Esther and Moses, we knew we had found people
who are expertly familiar with Tanzania and who understood our needs. They created a
customized itinerary that met our wishes, timeframe, and budget. They coordinated every trip
detail, both in planning and during the actual trip.
The lodges that we stayed at while we journeyed were top notch. We are both vegetarians and
all our delicious meals were provided accordingly. Kiliclimb even arranged a surprise birthday
celebration for Tim at one of the Serengeti lodges.
Our driver and guide, Bakari, had an encyclopedic knowledge of all the animals, birds, trees,
and plants that we encountered on our game drives. His trekking skill allowed us to have truly
exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime interactions and sightings of animals. His training and
experience was superior to any other guide we have had on other drives and safaris.
Suffice to say that we are very pleased with our Tanzanian experience and are deeply grateful
to Kiliclimb African Safaris for creating a stress free, relaxing, and enriching experience for us.
We strongly recommend their services, their kindness, and their integrity.

Very good! The itinerary, hotel and guide are all perfect💯
It was so great, a life experience! I saw so many animals, very close! The guide was Helman, who had an 8x telescope. He was the first to spot the cheetah, and then other cars came one after another. He explained along the way and he knew all the animals. It was great! I give it full marks!

Amazing honeymoon!!
We decided to spend our honeymoon in Tanzania on safari. Searching a bit on the internet, we were captivated by Magilani's website.. After an initial phone chat with Marlis, we had no doubt that it was the right choice..and so it was! Our adventure began at Kilimanjaro airport where we were met by our SUPER guide Balo who accompanied us throughout the safari. We travelled for four days between Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire, discovering unforgettable places and seeing every kind of animal up close.
We slept two nights in a tented camp (an experience you absolutely must do!), one morning when we woke up a giraffe was waiting for us just a few metres from our tent!
Renato's impeccable organisation and the bond that was immediately created with Balo allowed us to enjoy our trip 1000% (he is a competent, flexible, polite, sunny and very sociable guide)
The park that has remained in our hearts is the Serengeti!

Excellent team offers excellent experience
My Kenya and Tanzania tour with Beast spoor was definitely a life-time memorable experience. The responses of emails by Kelvin were always fast and clear at the begining which helped me a lot in making a decision to go with Beast Spoor. After joining the tour, the following up from Linda really made me feel warm and grateful. It particularly meant a lot to a solo traveler. In general, everything was very well organized and I saw many animals and really enjoyed it, my African dream fulfilled.

The best Trip with ThinkScene!
I went for 2 weeks in Tanzania just following the adventurous itinerary that Brenda, the manager compiled for me. This is was the longest I had done in Africa, I started off in Arusha and then I did 2 nights in another wonderful wildlife park called Tarangire. I later split the remaining 4 days between Northern and Southern Serengeti. This is the mother of all parks if you ask me, I came across lots animals some of which I had never had of. I later proceeded to Zanzibar to just unwind after a busy schedule in the jungle. Brenda ensured we got booked in best hotels, she stayed there throughout to make sure we got the best experience. Overall, this was an experience of a lifetime. A big thank you to ThinkScene Safaris

Well-paced and Catered Tour of Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Our tour guide and driver Nelson was very punctual, knowledgeable and respectful. He took care of the route, the passes into the national parks, the lunches and the car.
The accommodations we stayed at were all beautiful and comfortable. In retrospect the lodges were very high-end, which is nice, but also need to consider that by the end of the day following the safari experience there is not much time left to enjoy the facilities. Next time we might opt for simpler accommodations, but it was good to experience the fancier lodges and camp sites at least once.

What a Fantastic Experience!
We had an amazing time! Thank you so much for everything.
Moses was a brilliant guide and ensured that we had a very positive experience taking home with us memories of a huge array of animals, previously only seen in books and zoos!
Simon and the team looked after us really well despite the challenges they faced with punctures and supply trucks. We loved our tents and found the camp beds really comfortable and the al fresco showers and loo surprisingly easy. Having animals so close to our camp made this especially magical.
The river safari in Chobe was a great end to the trip, allowing us to see many of the animals a lot closer up and from a different perspective, and the transfer from Chobe to Victoria Falls went very smoothly.
If we were doing this again, we would add in one or two extra days so that we could build in more 2-night stays during the holiday. This would make it more relaxing allowing for an occasional afternoon siesta instead of 3 consecutive days of long drives. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed what we did despite being very tired at the end!
A wonderful holiday and one that we will definitely recommend to others.
On the communication side, everything was great, but an indication of the potential travel times each day (in addition to the morning and evening jeep safaris) would have helped with our planning and to manage our expectations of time on the "road".
