Too expensive for a bad safari.
Too expensive for a bad safari.
I saw very few animals. The driver did not show or look for animals that the passengers themselves saw, that was it. The driver was talking loudly to other drivers and on the phone all the time, not paying attention to the passengers. I was promised there would be 5 more passengers, but I was the 7th. It was a mixed group, living in different places. Also, living in the middle category did not always meet the standard. Compared to my first safari in Kenya, which was perfect, this one was downright bad. I do not recommend anyone to apply for this company. So they are not SafariBookings.

Very organised and trustworthy
We have booked a 4 day safari trip with this company. They provided us with good accomodation in beautiful lodges providing us with freshly cooked lunches and heart warming dinners. The guide Francis was very helpful, he accomodated us during the 4 days when we wanted to take pics he was very patient and he was very knowledgeable of the parks, the animals, trees and birds. Serengeti african safaris provided us with the experience of a lifetime. We also booked the materuni waterfalls excursion and the hot springs and we had Kelvin as a guide who was also very profesdional. Everything was well organised. Serafina our organiser was always reachable through whatsapp. Highly recommended.

Excellent organization of the trip, no detail overlooked!!
We (family of 3) traveled to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti in February 2024. Our tour operator was Zumbe Safaris, located in Arusha. Martin and his team did an excellent job of planning our itinerary, making the necessary reservations at various camps, arranging for entry tickets, etc. They also picked out a superb driver (Amani) for us, who is a wonderful person, not to mention extremely knowledgeable naturalist.
Our itinerary took us to Tarangire (day 1), Ngorongoro rim (day 2), Serengeti (day 3, 4), back to Ngorongoro crater (day 5), Manyara (day 6). We were lucky to see plenty of wildlife - Wildebest, zebra, several antelope species, elephants, lions, giraffe, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, and a huge variety of birds. Also visited the Olduvai Gorge museum in Ngorongoro, founded by Mary Leakey. Great journey through time and human evolution.
I'd recommend Zumbe Safaris for your Tanzania wildlife excursion without any hesitation!!

Morningstar are an absolutely amazing company who can provide tailor made holidays.
Morningstar have been excellent with their communication and respond promptly to any queries.
Alice was very patient with us as the itinerary changed many times. Her recommendations were perfect for our holiday of a lifetime and we have created many special memories.
They have gone above and beyond for us and even made it possible to see where my Mum in law grew up in Nairobi and arranged school visits.
The safari experience was absolutely incredible thanks to our tour guides Alex and Rono who had amazing driving skills and a talent for spotting so many animals. We managed to see the big 5 within 3 days!!
We cannot thank them both enough and we highly recommend this company who looked after us all very well. Please do not hesitate to book with Morningstar as you will not be disappointed. Thanks a million again!! It's been a very special and memorable experience.

a personalised, reassuring and carefully considered service.
Rob was very empathetic and took time to get to know us and understand our interests and what we wanted from the trip, giving careful consideration that we would be travelling with our 7 year old daughter.
Everything on the trip went smoothly, but we were very reassured that Rob was on hand at any time if something unexpected had happened. We had an amazing trip and made magical memories that we will never forget with experienced and knowledgeable guides in a variety of locations and always with a personal and warm service, that felt completely genuine. We would highly recommend Tailormade Africa and hope to book with them again in the future.

A tour operator that crafts perfect safaris, combining expert planning with incredible local insight
Our 4-day safari was an amazing experience, thanks to Solomon, who organised everything perfectly and tailored the trip exactly to what we wanted. Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater were stunning, and our tour guide Danny was an absolute legend – he packed in so much information and made the whole experience even better. The visit to the local village was a great touch, too. My sister and I had the best time and couldn’t have asked for a better-organised trip!

Honeymoon Bliss: A Perfect Tanzanian Adventure with Kiliclimb African Safaris
For our honeymoon, we set our hearts on exploring Tanzania’s stunning landscapes, from the heights of Kilimanjaro to the wildlife-rich plains of the Serengeti, and ending with a week of relaxation in Zanzibar. However, planning such an extensive and once-in-a-lifetime trip felt daunting. We knew it was a significant investment, and finding the right company to trust with our dream seemed overwhelming. That’s when we discovered Kiliclimb African Safaris—and everything fell into place.
From the moment we first connected with the owners, Esther and Moses, we were impressed by their genuine warmth, deep local knowledge, and commitment to making our honeymoon extraordinary. They made planning our trip a breeze, offering expert advice and ensuring that our itinerary was perfectly tailored to our desires, timeframe, and budget. Their communication was seamless, and they consistently added personal touches that made us feel like we were in the best hands.
Our adventure began with... Read more a 5-day trek up Mount Kilimanjaro (Marangu route). Baraka, our guide for the trek, was not only knowledgeable and skilled but also incredibly supportive. He made sure we were well-prepared and motivated, helping us reach the summit—a truly unforgettable start to our journey.
After conquering Kilimanjaro, we flew to the Serengeti, where Kiliclimb’s exceptional service continued to shine. When we arrived, we felt like royalty and were amazed to see our names printed on the side of the Land cruiser and the vehicle’s wheel covers proudly proclaimed “Honeymooners on Board,” adding a special touch that made us feel like VIPs. Esther and Moses had carefully selected the best lodges in the Serengeti, where we enjoyed incredible comfort and luxury. Every detail was meticulously planned—they made sure that each hotel knew it was our honeymoon, and as a result, we were treated to surprises like flowers on our bed and complimentary bottles of wine.
To cap off our adventure, we spent a week in Zanzibar, where we relaxed and enjoyed the stunning beaches—a perfect end to an incredible honeymoon.
We cannot express enough how grateful we are to Kiliclimb African Safaris for making our honeymoon a stress-free, memorable, and magical experience. They went above and beyond in every way, from the personal touches to the seamless coordination of every detail. If you’re looking for a company that will make your Tanzanian adventure as perfect as ours, look no further than Kiliclimb. We wholeheartedly recommend their services, kindness, and unwavering dedication to making dreams come true.
