We got to see all the big 5 and so much more!
We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro and The Serengeti. Our Guide Rama was an absolute pleasure to go on this journey with. He guided us with experience and skill ...and a little luck to ensure we saw everything including lion prides with playful cubs, rhino's, leopard with kill and the great migration! Tanzania has far exceeded our expectations and we wish we had booked longer !

A Truly Safe and Life-Changing Safari Experience with Kiliholidays
As two women traveling from the U.S. without the use of a travel agency, safety was our top priority—and Kiliholidays exceeded every expectation. From the moment we began coordinating directly with Mack, we knew we were in expert hands. Every detail was meticulously arranged: drivers were waiting for us at every transport stop, internal flights were seamlessly scheduled, and we never once felt uncertain or unsafe.
“Outstanding” doesn’t even begin to describe our experience. Our guide, Steve, was phenomenal—knowledgeable, fun, and passionate. He brought every moment to life, from thrilling game drives where we saw all of the Big Five, to immersive cultural visits in local villages. His energy made the entire journey exhilarating and unforgettable.
The safari itself was nothing short of epic. We weren’t just sightseeing—we were learning, connecting, and growing. It was a deeply enriching, once-in-a-lifetime adventure that left us changed for the better.
If you’re considering a safari and want a company that prioritizes safety, professionalism, and unforgettable experiences, Kiliholidays is the one. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Kudos to Dancing simba safari for their service and reliability. You can always count on their prompt response. A very good value for money. With them it's possible to live unique and exciting experiences together with competent and very helpful staff. Our guides and drivers Buldozer and Owen were wonderful. Thank you very much.

Rama is Sweet as! Wouldn’t choose another
Rama is a professional, knowledgeable and caring guide. We saw multiple different sightings/groups of the big 5, as well as many other animals! Rama was respectful of the animals, ensuring not to go to close and making sure they weren’t too disturbed. Rama was also an experienced driver, knowing how to man the bumpy roads with ease.
I was deciding whether to do a 4/5 or 5/5, as Rama is brilliant; however, i feel as though the hotel scheduling could have been better organised (Our itinerary was not planned by Mr Rama, rather Sereland Safari operators). Most of our safari was spent with one night at each hotel; once back tracking to a different hotel, before heading to the serengeti after visiting the ngorongoro crater, so we had to drive through the crater again (where the time spent driving through could’ve been spent in the serengeti). If this was better organised, i would’ve definitely rated 5/5!
This hasn’t taken away from my enjoyment of the experience however, merely an observation that is intended to be taken for improvement of future guests.
We have not completed our Tanzania experience yet, we are off to Zanzibar for scuba diving and more cultural experiences! Rama has been a great guide; I doubt our Safari would have been as great as it was with a different guide!
TLDR: Rama is a brilliant guide, wouldn’t choose another! Next time, i would request that we don’t backtrack to hotels (drive back the way we came, to then drive the track again to get through), and stay more than one night at hotels instead of hotel hopping.

A wonderful 3 weeks safari in 4 national parksparks
For the second time we went on a trip through Tanzania. Gladiola Adventures arranged this trip for the most part and thanks to our fantastic guide/driver Reginald Mdhomba we had a fantastic trip of 3 weeks through 4 national parks. He drove us safely through the country, had nice initiatives, a lot of knowledge about nature and animals and solved all problems that occurred. Every now and then there was a mistake with the reservations but this was also solved smoothly by Gladiola. And we had a lot of fun together.

Amazing Safari with very trustworthy operator
What an amazing Safari experience with Serengeti Wakanda - truly a trip of a lifetime, especially as a family and kids.
Goodluck, the manager, was so attentionate and supportive during the preparation, attending to all our wishes.
Francis, our guide and driver, was so customer focused, trustworthy and knowledgeable.
A safari is such a special and premium experience, and you want everything to be perfect. With Wakanda ,you can be sure it will be.

Lenchada is perfect when looking for a budget friendly company, giving you a great safari experience
I’ll start by saying that our guide made this experience 10/10. Richie was great right from the get go. He knew the answers to nearly all of our questions, and the few that he didn’t know, he was quick to research it and get us the answer. And he knew more than just the animals. He taught us about the culture, geography, food. Anything to do with Kenya, he knew something about it. With so many people doing safaris, sometimes it can feel crowded in the parks, but he always knew how to get us away from the crowds and helped us have such intimate experiences with the wildlife and the surroundings. He was polite and professional, and we felt more like friends than simply just patrons for his company. I can definitely say that if not for Richie, we wouldn’t have had such a great experience. Our tour could not have been any more perfect, as we saw all of the big 5, and even some other rare and uncommon animals. Communicating with Lenchada safaris was easy and straightforward, and they were accommodating with our schedule. We booked a “private” safari, meaning it was only the 4 of us in our group. I would recommend going that route, as we were able to move around the truck more easily, and weren’t restricted to anyone else’s schedule but our own. We had a 6 night/7 day safari, and the accommodations were as expected. 2 nights in a camp at Maasai Mara, 1 night each in hotels at Nakuru and Naivasha, and 2 more nights in a camp at Amboselli. The camps were very nice considering you are in a tent. They had flushing toilets and hot showers, and the food was always delicious. The hotels were as nice as any other hotel, and were a nice break from the camps. Unless you are bougie and need an air conditioned room to sleep and unlimited hot water, then I see no need to book through a luxury safari operator. Because at the end of the day, we had the same views of the animals as those luxury companies. I’ll be telling all of my friends that they should book a safari, and I’ll be extra telling them to book through Lenchada and request Richie

Completely uncomplicated, spontaneous and planned through to the end
It was a beautiful view of the Tanzanian steppe. The food was a buffet with something for everyone. Between the animals we had seen earlier, the beautiful lodge, and the thought that we still had a few hours to spare after lunch, it was a day we'll probably never forget.

10/10 Safari Experience
My husband and I chose a Safari for our honeymoon and are so happy we booked with Donwel Tours & Travel. We coordinated with Christine who was so kind and open to creating our perfect Safari tour. Lawrence was our tour guide for the 5 days and he was so knowledgeable about the animals and the land. We saw SO many animals - it was truly a once in a lifetime experience! Would highly recommend Donwel for any travel needs while in Kenya. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special. We miss Christine and Lawrence already!!

The only choice
My agent is Don, he always replies my request immediately and care about my travel experience. Our Driver Jackson is a cute and caring person, he always tries to let us see EVERYTHING, and luckily we collected big 5 within 3 days.
What a wonderful trip, thank you so much.
