A must do when in Arusha - Arusha Walking Tour
Booked this walking tour as we had some spare time on our last day in Arusha. I booked it while I was in Arusha as I realised it was better for someone local to show us around. Israel our guide was able to pick us up from the hotel for the start of the tour and drop us off at the end. This helps enormously in getting to the places to see, The first place of visit is the art gallery. This covers a wide range of pictures, carvings and ornate items showing the multitude of tribes and history within the region. This is an impressive place where you can spend hours admiring everything there. Israel was able to answer all the questions we had and able to provide further background information. After this we went to the large market in Arusha which has such a wide variety of fresh food to admire. This also provides a good way to smell, hear and feel what it’s like to live in Arusha as a local person. Everyone is so friendly and it feels safe to be there. Overall, having someone like Israel show us these places provides great insights and an appreciation off life in Tanzania. Highly recommend taking this tour if you are in Arusha as Israel speaks excellent English and is a young talented person who helps to make you feel comfortable and has great knowledge.

Maasai Mara Safari
Three-day safari in the Masai Mara. An incredible experience. Our guide, Steven, was knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. Sebastian was also very helpful and accompanied us throughout the safari. We stayed in a tent at the camp. The food was excellent, and in the evening, after dinner, we warmed ourselves by the bonfire, talking with the Masai about their customs.

Great Safari Experience in Tanzania
I had a wonderful safari trip in Tanzania. The tour company helped me perfect my itinerary according to my budget and chose lovely accommodations for me. They were always easy to reach and quick to answer any questions, providing all the information I needed. The safari was a shared group tour, and while there were some delays in the mornings due to picking up people from different hotels, it didn’t take away from the experience. I enjoyed meeting friendly travelers from all around the world. Overall it was a well-organized and memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Well organised satisfied 7 days 6 nights trip
I booked a 7-Day Ultimate Northern Circuit
Safari Experience with KILIPATH.
Firstly, Happy provided me a lot of information and always kindly answered all the questions I had. My suitcase didn’t arrive with me at the first time which made me extremely anxious, but Happy and Emma were there and helped me contact airport and driver who gonna send my suitcase even it’s at midnight!! Without them I couldn’t get my suitcase in time!!!
Secondly, I didn’t go with KILIPATH but with friend company as Happy already told me the situation that they need enough people to run a group. The organisation is smooth, friend company did a great job at safari, we saw all the big five and other rare animals. AND WE HAD REAL FOOD for EVERY MEAL while I saw a lot of other groups just got lunch boxes, and food was so good.
Thirdly, this is my first time camping, although the campsite at Serengeti I will say it’s under average quality, but other nights’ campsites were absolutely amazing. There is one campsite has 24hr hot water and free WiFi, Simba campsite at Ngorongoro is so beautiful. I also met a lot of people from other different countries which made this trip more enjoyable.
The only regret is i asked for stay in Serengeti for 3 days because I know now there are more animals at south, but nobody could match my plan so they offer me another day trip instead which I totally understand!
Overall, it’s a good pleasure to choose KILIPATH for my first safari trip!

Thank you Davis
Davis planned an excellent, detailed and intricate itinerary to cater for both myself, an avid birdwatcher and two generalist holiday makers (mother and sister). This was no easy task as it required detail and compromise for maximum enjoyment for the whole group. He was brilliant at communicating and accommodating all our very specific and often contrasting needs. I would highly recommend using Davis.

amazing
Choosing Sharon was the best decision we could have made for our safari.
Ben, our guide, was fantastic, knowledgeable, attentive, and above all, he taught us so many things.
Sharon managed the entire safari with extraordinary efficiency, and the choice of lodges was superb.
It was our first safari, and we couldn't have made a better choice.

Considerate and chill tour, great experience
We (three) had a customized 8-day tour with MorningStar. Communication with the staff (Winnie) is great, she was responsive and thorough in communication prior to our arrival. She accompanied the guide/driver to pick us from the airport and accommodate our need for sim cards, exchange, etc. Our guide/driver Rono is a chill young man who is very knowledgable and knows the safari well. We were lazy safari-ers who start late and end early, but we managed to see everything and more (thanks to Rono).

If you’re considering Serengeti Savanna Adventures- BOOK IT!
Ok, so it’s pretty unnerving to wire thousands of dollars through an internet booking, and we had our share of apprehensions. There was no need- this company is the real deal!!
We booked the 3 night/4 day mid-range safari: Tarangire Natl Park, 2 x Serengeti, & Ngorongoro Crater from Zanzibar (2 adults, 2 teenagers). Our first interaction was 9 months ahead of our trip, and they were happy to explore options and prices, etc. Since the pkg did not include return flights to Zanzibar, they were happy to do this as an add-on for us (and I’m so glad we did) with hotel pick-up, luggage storage in Zanzibar, and return to our hotel when we returned to ZNZ.our driver in the Zanzibar side, Sayd, was punctual, polite, and informative. He even gave us some facts and history of the country and island-perfect airport transfer!
We requested Mr. Gilbert as he speaks both French and English - he is amazing - more on that later.
The start of our East Africa trip had a few mishaps and no-shows from other providers, so I got a bit nervous and confirmed several times with Erick, who was patient, understanding, and provided all the assurance we needed. Also incredibly quick to respond over WhatsApp any time of day. Erick is a real professional with a gift for customer service, and I was so happy that he greeted us at the airport before handing us off to the very capable Gilbert.
Animal sightings on safari are, of course, a lot of luck, but the skill of the guide is super important. Gilbert worked SO HARD to ensure we saw the animals we wished for (and he was the first of all guides to find both a cheetah momma with FIVE new babies AND two lion cubs lounging in a tree- amongst many other cool things, but these were truly exceptional). He was kind, attentive, funny, and felt like a family member! It’s amazing how much goes into being a guide: it’s not just about driving and finding the animals (which must be really difficult), but interpersonal skills, basic first aid, vehicle maintenance, meal service, etc., etc. Gilbert did all of these roles exceptionally well- we couldn’t recommend him more.
The accommodations were awesome and the food was delicious.
We have no regrets booking with Serengeti Savanna Adventures and wouldn’t change a thing!
Thank you Serengeti Savanna Adventures: Erick, Gilbert, and Syad. You made this once-in-a-lifetime trip perfect and memorable!
