Extraordinary safari! Very well organized. Thank you Moses, Zulfa, Stanley, Socofo. 200% recommended
Extraordinary safari! Very well organized. Great relationship and quick communication via WhatsApp with Moses and Zulfa before, during, and after the safari. They were always attentive to our needs and tried to help us even beyond the safari. The best safari driver, Stanley! He is very experienced, very respectful of the animals, and allowed us to take as many photos as we wanted. A cook, Socofo, who always prepared excellent meals and lunchboxes for us.
Above all, wonderful human encounters, which allowed us to discover the richness of African wildlife in beautiful national parks: Serengeti, N'gorongoro, Tarangire. We were delighted to share the safari with two friendly people we met during the safari, two priests, Steven and Reginald. We really enjoyed our exchanges.
Moses answered all our questions before the safari. He came to our private accommodation in Arusha the morning of departure to give us a very detailed briefing on the entire five days, with beautiful maps of the parks we would be visiting. He gave us each a Kiliclimb Safari hat and t-shirt. Then the car arrived in front of our accommodation with our driver and our two safari companions. And off we went!
Tarangire for the first day, after a 2.5-hour drive through a Maasai region and a picnic, then Serengeti after a long two-day drive, then N'Gorongoro and the last day at Lake Manyara. Magical! Baobabs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, birds, baboons, lions and cubs, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, jackals, hyenas, flamingos, leopards, and cheetahs. Stanley, our great driver, always arrived at the right time and showed us all the animals and gave us lots of explanations about their lives. We saw rare and extraordinary scenes: a lioness who had attacked and killed a wildebeest came to move it into the shade to eat it with other lionesses and cubs. Then a leopard eating its prey, a gazelle, in a tree. Then a lion and his lioness mating in the morning at sunrise. The Serengeti balloons flying over the savannah in the colors of sunrise. Then a cheetah chasing an impala, suffocating it to kill it and eat it. Thousands of zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, elephants... The Jua Manyara Lodge made us feel very welcome for our first and last nights. Camping in the Serengeti was very simple with lots of people, and the conditions were a bit tight. The Simba campsite on day 4 in N'Gorongoro was well organized, even with hot water for showers; however, the nighttime temperatures were very cool.
Moses checked on us every evening to see if everything was going well.
On our return to Arusha, he met us at our accommodation to listen to our feedback and comments. He helped us order our taxi to Arusha airport the next morning for 6:30 a.m. But unfortunately, at 8 p.m., Air Tanzania informed us at the last minute that our flight to Zanzibar had been canceled and put us on an even earlier flight from Kilimanjaro Airport, asking us to be at 4 a.m. in front of Arusha Town Hall to catch a bus. So we needed a taxi for 3:30 a.m., which we had to find after 8 p.m. the day before! We sent a message to Moses, who arranged for us to change the taxi, which was indeed there at 3:30 a.m.! And we were able to make our flight. Thanks again, Moses.
But our daughter fell ill that evening, and we had to go to the medical center upon arrival in Zanzibar, then to the hospital. Fortunately, she was well and quickly treated (bacteria). Moses and Zulfa asked us how our daughter was and offered to help us if necessary.
In addition to their kindness and skills, their prices are very reasonable for all services and we 200% recommend KILICLIMB SAFARI, Moses and Zulfa, Stanley and Socofo!!!

A once-in-a-life time experience
We had the great pleasure of being guided by Wiliam during our safari in Mikumi and the Ruaha River region, and we honestly could not have asked for a better guide. From the very beginning, he impressed us with his professionalism and reliability – he was always punctual, drove us safely and with great care, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire journey.
What truly set Wiliam apart, however, was his incredible knowledge and passion for nature. Whether it was the smallest plant, a rare bird, or one of the majestic animals we encountered, he was always able to share fascinating details and explanations in a way that was both informative and captivating. He had the rare gift of knowing when to speak and when to simply let us enjoy the silence and beauty of the surroundings, which made every moment feel special and authentic.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Wiliam was also simply a wonderful person to spend time with. Whether at breakfast or dinner, his presence was always a delight – warm, respectful, and genuinely kind. He made us feel safe, well taken care of, and allowed us to connect with Africa’s incredible nature on a very deep level.
Thanks to Wiliam, this safari was not just a trip, but a truly enriching experience. We left with so much knowledge, unforgettable impressions, and the feeling that we had really learned something meaningful. We can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering a safari – and if we ever have the chance to return, we would choose Wiliam again without hesitation.

Extremely professional tour operator with excellent value for money
We have been introduced to Red Africa Safaris by a very experienced traveller and long time friend, who travelled with them in previous years.
We are a family of 4 (with 2 teenagers) and Red Africa Safaris has arranged for us a 9-day self drive trip from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth with a 4 days extension at Kruger Park and Blyde river Canyon.
Amelia has provided an excellent organization of the tour and selection of the accomodations and has been able to meet all our requirements and indeed to exceed our expectations.
Jaco has been super kind and patient with us and extremely professional to guide us in the days we spent together visiting the Blyde river canyon and neighboring areas.
We have also very much valued the support of Red Africa Safaris to the conservation fund, which fully aligns with our approach to nature and wildlife. It has been definitively a trip of a lifetime and could not be happier.

Our Adventure in Kenya
For our safari in Kenya, we chose Beacon Safaris, and we couldn’t have made a better decision. We booked with Robert, who assisted us with great professionalism and care, arranging an itinerary that included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli.
All the accommodations selected were excellent, comfortable, and perfectly suited to our needs.
A special thanks goes to our driver Daniel, whose professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge made the journey truly unforgettable. During the game drives, he shared many explanations about the animals’ habits, enriching the experience and allowing us to fully appreciate every encounter. Thanks to him, we managed to see all of the Big 5 and enjoyed moments that will remain in our hearts forever.
We highly recommend Beacon Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized experience in Kenya

There is still room for improvement
The driver and tour guide Brandon is amazing. Follow the national parks rules and respect the nature. He is a mature and thoughtful young blood.

For the agency, I would suggest Camptrek that DO NOT arrange any AA LODGE Group accommodation in to itinerary. The shower heater is sucks really.

Responsive, easy, and thorough
The team at Phine Safaris was very responsive from the moment I asked for a quote to climb Mount Kenya and answered all of my questions beforehand. They met me easily for transport and had an experienced driver take me to the mountain and set me up with a great team. All around a wonderful experience on Mount Kenya thanks to Phine Safaris.

A great host who knows the secrets of the Serengeti
I traveled with my husband, cousin and my two young kids (5 and 7). Our Guide, Abas, paid special attention to finding a cheetah, my son's favorite animal
Abad knew right where to look to find one resting under a tree, we were able to get so close. My son will be talking about that experience for years to come. We appreciate the hospitality and thoughtful gestures along our journey. I highly recommend them for any family looking for an unforgettable safari experience.
