Best experience ever
5/5

I can’t recommend this safari company enough! From the very beginning, everything was smooth and professional. The price is very reasonable for the exact same safari experience that many other companies charge much more for, which already gave me confidence I had chosen the right team.

Communication was excellent with Kelvin, every one of my questions was answered quickly and clearly through WhatsApp, and he was always available whenever I needed anything. Payment was easy and straightforward, and I felt supported throughout the entire booking process.

On the safari itself, our guide Eli, was absolutely outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about wildlife. He didn’t just show us the animals, he shared stories, insights, and details that made every moment special. By the end of the trip, he felt less like a guide and more like family.

One of the things that impressed me most was the care and thoughtfulness even after the safari was over. On our last day, we had a very late flight, and instead of leaving us to wait around, they made sure we were kept busy and comfortable right until it was time to head to the airport. That level of attention really shows how much they value their guests.

Overall, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience made even better by a company that truly cares about their clients. I would book with them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari.

When a dream comes true, Kili Sky is with you!
5/5

WHEN A DREAM COMES TRUE

We have spent 7 days in Tanzania parks and 4 days in Zanzibar with Kili Sky in July 2025 and if I could, I would go to Tanzania again, right now, on the spot! Our travel experience was really amazing, very rich and beyond every expectation. Not only for the undiscussed emotions that the safari experience provides. Not only because of the outstanding richness and the variety of the Arusha, Serengeti and Ngorongoro fauna, trees, lights. Not because meeting The Masai people in their land was really so enriching...Of course, every single experience was great and the lodges were clean, confortable, some of them very elegant, some others very cosy (no mosquitos or other insects. Never!). Not simply for the wonders of Jambiani tides and magic blue hues or for the great resort by the ocean accomodation. What made the difference for us was the top quality of the organization, the kindness of Doriana and Daniel, the competence and patience of Ernest, our guide, a great expert of wildlife who was able to spot animals from very far and always waited for me when I wanted to take pictures! We were only two, and we really had an amazing time 'into the wild', exploring quietly with no hurry the best of Tanzania, even off the beaten paths and with local people.
I definitely suggest to travel with Kili Sky to experience the best of Tanzania! Great value for what you spend. Last but not least? Kili Sky offers a really sustainable travel experience!

Great Tour
5/5

Me and my family came to Kenya for the first time for Safari. We met Mr Aaron/Arun as our tour guide/driver for the safari. He made the entire trip to Kenya worth it. We saw rare animals like leopard closely thanks to his effort. He was very punctual and had great knowledge about animals and safari parks. He was also incredibly helpful about making random plans or any problems we had. And lastly my mother had a knee issue so he ensured she didn’t have to walk a lot and he drove safely to make sure she was comfortable. Overall experience was amazing and the food was healthy. Hotels were amazing also. Highly recommended for first timers.

Incredible Safari Tour
5/5

We just returned from six unforgettable days on safari, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better guide than ALEX! Every single day with him was a joy. His deep knowledge of wildlife, culture, and the landscape is truly remarkable, and he always had a story or fun fact to share that made the experience even more special. On top of that, his great sense of humor and entertaining talks turned even the longest drives into lighthearted adventures.

The absolute highlight for us was spotting the Big Five – something we owe entirely to ALEX‘s dedication, sharp eye, and tireless effort. His passion for what he does is evident in every moment, and he always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience.

We would definitely recommend ALEX as a safe, experienced, and trustworthy guide. He genuinely cares about the well-being of his guests and treats everyone with such kindness. We would return in a heartbeat and choose him again without hesitation.

Thank you for everything, ALEX – we’ll miss you! 🇹🇿

Magical Gorilla Adventures crafts journeys that touch the heart—bringing travelers closer to Africa’
5/5

Our trip to Uganda and Rwanda was absolutely magical. Thanks to the agency’s perfect organization and Duncan, our wonderful guide, we were able to experience a journey that exceeded all expectations.

In Uganda, trekking to see the gorillas was one of the most moving experiences of our lives, and in Rwanda, the golden monkeys were simply unforgettable. Duncan not only guided us with knowledge and professionalism, but also shared so much about his culture, especially during our visit to a local market, which made the trip even more enriching and authentic.

This was not just a trip, but a collection of memories and experiences that will stay with us forever. We are deeply grateful to the agency and to Duncan for making this dream come true. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Perfect safari experience
5/5

The best tour company. From booking to the safari, everything was above our expectations. The communication with Beatrice for the booking was so easy and fast. She checked on us few times before the travel date, and was available if we had any questions to help us. The safari it self was just amazing and breathtaking. Our guide, Benedict, was a walking tanzania encyclopedia, all the knowledge he passed to us was so interesting. He was so passionate and so caring for the wellbeing of the animals making sure we dont disturb then and respect them. We really appreciated the way he was caring for us making sure we were ok. We were lucky enough to sight every animals during our safari and even tho it depends on nature, i’m pretty sure our guide knowledge of the animals habit helped with that. I recommend this safari tour company 1000%.

From start to end everything was awesome!
5/5

Unforgettable Safari in Tanzania

We had the chance to go on a 4-day, 3-night safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and it was simply amazing. Two nights in a tent out in nature gave the adventure an authentic and exciting touch, and every single game drive was filled with new discoveries. Thanks to our guide’s detailed explanations, we learned so much about the animals and landscapes while spotting the Big Five and many more species. The provided equipment—both the safari car and camping gear—was excellent and made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. This trip exceeded all expectations and is one we can recommend without hesitation.

Our Driver Paul
A special mention goes to our driver Paul, who truly made this safari extraordinary. He is extremely passionate and experienced, and it was fascinating to see how he managed to spot animals while driving—often long before anyone else did. Thanks to his skill and careful driving, we never had any issues with the car, even in challenging terrain where we saw many other vehicles get stuck. Paul speaks excellent English, and we really enjoyed our conversations with him—not only about African wildlife and culture but also about everyday life and personal topics. He is an open-minded, kind, and very responsible person. If you have the chance, definitely ask for Paul as your driver—you won’t regret it. He made our safari truly unforgettable.

Our Chef Ponge (Elia)
We were also lucky to have Ponge as our chef during the safari. He prepared absolutely delicious meals, which were a highlight in themselves after long days out in the bush. On top of his cooking skills, Ponge is a warm-hearted, funny person, and we loved our talks with him. His positive energy added so much to the trip. We sincerely hope every traveler gets the chance to taste Ponge’s cooking—it’s something you won’t forget!

For the best safari experience, look no further… book your safari with Mama Savana.
5/5

Honestly, I don’t have the right words to give enough credit to Mama Savana and our Safari drivers, since my safari included both Kenya and Tanzania. In Kenya, our guide for two days was Kombo, who picked us up at the hotel in Nairobi and took us through our safari in the Masai Mara National Park, giving us the chance to see the Great Migration and a small Mara River crossing. Truly, thank you Kombo for giving us the opportunity to get to know Kenya and its people, the beautiful Masai people and the adventures in the Mara Masai River and National Park.

Then we arrived at the border to enter Tanzania, where we were welcomed by our phenomenal guide, Isaya, who for the next five days left us completely enchanted with Tanzania. From the Masai Mara area in North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and even giving us a little tour of Arusha before dropping us off at Kilimanjaro Airport for our flight back home… let me tell you, Isaya went above and beyond to make sure our safari was memorable — and it truly was.

We had the chance to see the Great Migration in all its splendor, thousands and thousands of wildebeests crossing the famous Mara River — that was an UNFORGETTABLE adventure. He also made sure we saw the Big Five. If you ever get the chance to have him as your guide, I can guarantee you’ll have one of the best guides, since he even leads the other jeeps, and he is both respectful and very attentive.

So maybe my words are not enough, but I definitely recommend MAMA SAVANA not just one hundred, but a thousand percent to trust with your trip and your Safaris to Africa.

My thanks also to Alex Kenga at the Arusha office for making all the arrangements and all the changes I requested, so that our Africa Safari Tour 2025 was a complete SUCCESS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Epic! Trip of a lifetime!!!
5/5

Epic! Amazing! Exceptional! But words really can't do justice to the the experience we had with Shadows of Africa Tanzanian Safari. We felt like we were part of a National Geographic special. We saw so many animals, so close up. Herds of elephants, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, impalas, giraffes, lions, hyenas, warthogs, moneys, baboons. We counted more than 45 different species of animals and birds, and I'm sure our list is not complete. We spent eight days on safari in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, which also included a visit to a Maasai village, a sunrise balloon ride followed by three nights at a resort on Zanzibar. The accommodations were amazing. The lodges were beautiful and even the tent camps were way more luxurious than we expected, complete with giraffes walking by and lions roaring at night. Our guide was Alex Pao (or Poa?) and he was exceptional!!! We were a group of six women and he kept us all in line:) Knowledgeable, funny, professional, accommodating. And finally, I would like to give a shout out to the Shadows of Africa team -- Karen Maki, Frank and Inge! They were wonderful, responsive, accommodating. I can't say enough good things about them or our experience as a whole and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a Safari experience!
