They bring you to meet people & culture.
I live in Uganda with my colleagues doing internship for 6 months and here we had an opportunity booking a tour to sipi falls with Cul Tours and we really enjoyed our trip. The guide was knowledgeable and supportive in everything we wanted. Meeting people and culture was my experience and thanks to Stephen for making our tour wonderful. I recommend this company to everyone!

Fantastic staff and a great value for your money.
I had an excellent experience overall. The tour director
(Mike), our driver/guide (Elias), and chef (Musa) were all amazing and accommodating. Musa, hands down was the best chef and he cooked the tastiest food I've had in Tanzania. Elias was a great driver and guide. He would always be on the lookout for animals unlike what we heard from some of the other tourists. Mike, by far, provided the best customer service during my whole Africa vacation. When our flight got cancelled out of JRO, he went to the Precision Air office and rescheduled our flighs. He didn't have to do this as it was the day after the tour had ended. Kudos to Mike for helping us out.
The areas we visited were all typical locations that all tours go to. We were disappointed that we couldn't go off-road or go on night tours. Turns out that another permit is required to do that. If you would like to go off road then I suggest inquiring about it before the safari.
I had an amazing 4-days with NCA and I would recommend it to my friends.

It was real fun fare equalled by none in my past experience.
Faustintours to me is a well co-ordinated tour guide. The staff in particular are not only welcoming and charming but willing to go extra mile to ensure your safaris achieve aburndancy in site seeing and wild life experuence.
They choose what is top of chart in transport facilities, four wheel drive vehicles that offer top class comfort for the long adventure ahead. My wife was left in awe after we completed the tour of Mikumi, Selou and Udzungwa. She could not believe that Tanzania is home to gret wonders in wildlife and amazing virgin landscape almost equallling paradise.
In not distant future, I look forward to resample my safari experience with them.

Great trip in the Serengeti!
We took a four day trip which covered Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Arusha. It was the experience of a lifetime. The guide and the cook in the trip were really great. We were a little disappointed that the guide wasn't a little more strict about getting up early in order to see the actual hunting. We weren't aware until the last day that the hunting takes place very early in the morning and it was too late by then.
The food was excellent; we were very surprised at how good the food was considering we camped in the middle of the forest for three nights. I was very impressed with the trip overall.

An incredible safari experience!
My husband and I had an incredible trip with Kili Slope Tours and Safaris. We did a 5 day/4 night safari in Manyara NP, the Serengeti and Ngoro Goro. We honestly couldn't have asked for a more amazing experience!
During the booking process, David was always very prompt in responding to my emails and answering any questions that I had. During our time in Arusha, both before and after the safari, David went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we were having a good trip and to help us get acquainted with the area in which we were staying. David is a wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable man.
On the safari itself, we had an excellent driver (Nova). Nova was full of interesting facts and information about the animals and the National Parks. He answered all of our questions and was really friendly. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5 aswell as a lioness and her cubs with a wildabeest which the lioness had killed. This was definitely the highlight of our trip! The food served on the safari was very varied and delicious.
I would definitely recommend David and Kili Slopes to my friends and family and I will be booking with them again on my next trip to Tanzania!

The perfect safari!
We had an amazing safari with Kili Slope! It was one of the best things I've ever done in my life and will definitely be something I do again.
Right from the off, David looked after us, collected us from the airport (in Kilimanjaro) and dropping us to our hotel even though our safari did not start for 2 days. On the safari, we had Nova as our driver. He had had a very pleasant and calm mannerism (which helps when there's wild animals all around you!) was a safe driver and was extremely knowledgable about the Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Ibrahim was our cook and each meal was delicious and healthy!
We managed to see the big 5 (+hippo and cheetah) on our safari along with a lioness dragging a dead wildebeest back to the shade for her cubs to eat!! It was truly incredible and not something I will ever forget! We did a camping safari and we had zebras, an elephant and hyenas in our camp - it was surreal.
I can strongly recommend Kili Slope and if I'm ever to do a safari in Tanzania again (which is very likely!) I will definately be doing it with Kili Slope Tours!

Review about Camdeboo National Park by lollipop_lass
Small park but lots of animals to see - antelope and monkeys in particular on my visit. Across the road is the spectacular Valley of Desolation ... Breathtaking views of Graaff-Reinet from the top. Have been to this park twice ... Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Great camping facilities too.

A true African panorama - bush, sky and amazing animals, combined with options to suit every budget
I am a regular visitor to Addo National Elephant Park. Every time I go, I see something different. Elephant, antelope, meerkats, birds, tortoises, zebra etc. Highly enjoyable, and driving through yourself gives you an opportunity to stop and appreciate the things that you choose. Guided tours on a safari vehicle can be purchased, guaranteeing sighting of elephants. Chalets and camping facilities are available, and the shop/restaurant cater for all needs from tourist gifts to clothing, food and drink. There is an on-site petrol station too, so fill up your tank before driving through and enjoying the spectacular wide open spaces, the natural bush habitat and the magnificent animals that live there.
Great park, just feels a little bit like an open zoo.
Superb views and wildlife. It did feel a little bit like an open zoo as there were certain pathways to follow and not allowed offroad, even some well defined tracks were off limits. It made getting close to the animals to get a good pic difficult. However, there were a lot of animals and we were even lucky to see two lionesses on the road! We paid the tour operator so not sure how much it costs for entry. Worth it if you have limited time in Dar Es Salam as it can be done as a day tour opposed to 2-3 day tours for other parks.
