Unforgettable Safari!
I would book with Tanzania Safari Deluxe Tours again! This locally owned company organized a 5-day safari that exceeded my expectations. Alex went above and beyond, lending binoculars and picking me up from my hotel, while George, our guide and driver, was knowledgeable and experienced. Communication before the trip was prompt, and the safari was very reasonably priced. As a first-time safari-goer, I was amazed by the incredible wildlife we saw—even at the start of the rainy season. Huge thanks to Alex and George for making this an unforgettable adventure!

Amazing safari supported by an amazing team
This Tanzanian Safari was one of the best experiences ever, it has been on our bucket list for a while, but we never expected it to be as good as this!
The abundance of wildlife was breathtaking, the scale and expanse of the Serengeti a sight to behold, while the serene beauty and tranquility of Ngorongoro Crater was a memory that will last forever.
But best of all was the Kiliclimb team behind this once in a lifetime experience.
Sadi our guide was an absolute star, we feel blessed to have been assigned such a warm, friendly, helpful and skilled guide. Nothing was too much for him, and he really went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed the best experience we could ever have wished for.
His ability to spot some of the more unique and elusive wildlife was verging on supernatural. His punctuality was spot on, and his experience at handling some of the rougher terrain that the Serengeti occasionally throws at you was confidence inspiring.
As if this wasn’t enough, the support from the Kiliclimb office via WhatsApp was second to none. The speed of response to any queries we had was literally minutes, sometimes even seconds! Special mention to Janeth for all her support and hard work, checking in with us on a daily basis to make sure we were happy and enjoying the safari.
The final mention goes to Ruth who was our contact in Zanzibar, and not only looked after our main luggage, but also organised our transfers.
All in all, we cannot fault the wonderful service we received from Kiliclimb, and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Fabulous experience
Our guide, Esaya, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, plants, landscape, and even the insects. He freely shared his knowledge in a story telling way that made you feel like old friends catching up.
We saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, warthogs, impala, leopards, lions, eagles, cranes, ostriches, and even dung beetles rolling their dung balls. We saw too many other animals, birds, and insects to list them all.
Pickup and drop off at the airstrips was punctual and smooth. Esaya's professionalism and warm personality made our Safari especially memorable.
Highly recommend!!!!

One of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had.
Our guide Renautuas gave us a very warm welcome right at the airport and picked us up personally. From the very beginning, he took wonderful care of us and always made us feel comfortable and safe. Everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly. The accommodation was great, the food was excellent, and the tour itself was an absolutely incredible experience – truly unforgettable. I can highly recommend it and I’m very grateful for this amazing experience.

Outstanding
My family and I could not have hoped for a better Safari experience. George took care of everything. He helped us plan our trip. Then he picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and drove us to Amboseli. Along the way, he pointed out things of interest. When we arrived at our lodge, George gave us time to eat, freshen up, and get settled in our rooms, making clear when and where we would meet to go into the park. Once we entered the game reserve itself (both that first afternoon and all day the following day), he really hit his stride. He seemed to have a sense about which animals would be where; and when we happened upon an unexpected animal—like a jackal with prey in its mouth—George would pull over and let us watch patiently to see nature in action. In the case of the jackal, George pointed out that the animal felt uneasy about crossing the water. We watched him try to cross repeatedly and eventually turn around and go bury his prey, presumably to dig it up later for his family.
George heard about a lion sighting from another driver and headed that way. Again, he patiently pulled over to the side of the road and encouraged us to observe the lions quietly. Several other drivers left, since the lions seemed to be inactive. George felt confident, though, that the lions would eventually pass very near our vehicle and cross the road to the patch of trees on the other side, as he knew they’d be seeking shade. Like clockwork, his prediction proved true, and we had a breathtaking experience. When we finally drove away from there, one of the drivers who had left earlier was chiding himself for not following George’s lead.
George spotted an eagle subduing a monitor lizard for lunch and another bird eating a snake. On both occasions, he let us watch as nature unfolded before our eyes. We saw hippos, monkeys, baboons, a cheetah, a civet, wildebeests, geese, moose, elephants, and on and on and on. FIVE STARS!!!!!

Unforgettable experience with a local Ugandan company!
My husband and I just completed a 3-day Kigali to Bwindi Gorilla trek with Bamboo Ecotours, and it was truly unforgettable! Note: this tour is much shorter (5-6 hours drive vs 9+) vs from within Uganda!
From the start, Edison helped us plan the trip around our interests—adding a visit to the Ellen Center for deeper insight into gorillas and a Golden Monkey trek on the return journey. His communication was always prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful, even guiding us through visa questions.
Our guide and driver, Fred, was outstanding. A native of Kisoro, he shared rich knowledge of the region and navigated challenging rainy-season roads with skill and confidence. He was punctual, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout.
We loved working with a local Ugandan company that knows the area inside out. The trip was flexible, customized to our preferences, and everything went exactly as planned.
We chose the mid range lodge and will also highly recommend the Gorilla Leisure Lodge.
For both cost and experience, you simply can’t go wrong with Bamboo Ecotours. Highly recommended!

Overall a good experience
That’s overall a good experience, the landscapes are indeed incredibly beautiful, the company is honest and correct, the meals are very simple but I think it’s fair for such remote area where resources for something more elaborated are inpossible, the guide Yonas is an excellent professional: intelligent, helpful, always friendly and respectful, he clearly loves his job! However, sleeping open air close to the volcano is extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable, the night there is very windy and cold and me and many other tourists felt bad and barely could sleep, it should be fixed. Furthermore, the driver was the opposite of the guide: unfriendly and careless regarding our luggages, mine had a damage. Apart from the mentioned minor inconveniences, I recommend this company.

Fantastic safari experience in Tanzania with great hospitality.
Our group of seven friends just finished an incredible 7-day Big 5 safari with Migo African Safaris , and it was truly a journey we will always remember. When we arrived at Arusha the Migo team welcomed us warmly. And everything was organized smoothly, which allowed us to simply enjoy the adventure. From watching huge elephant herds in Tarangire to the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Highlands, every day felt different. Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater was a highlight with so much wildlife in one place. Our guide was friendly, professional, and made every game drive exciting and informative. Exploring a different area of the Serengeti gave us new surprises, giraffes, cheetahs in the distance, and stunning sunsets over the savannah. Our 7 day was an incredible first wildlife experience in Tanzania. We recommend Migo African Safaris for their responsibility and hospitable service.

Legendary
We loved the safari! Michael from majestic explorers was always available and quick with an answer on whatsapp. We booked flights, transfers and the safari with them and we always knew the evening before what and when things would happen the next day. They gave us the best price of all tour operators and we were mixed with people that booked at others during the safari. Rocky was the most amazing safari guide/ driver ever!! We had an amazing group of people and the breakfasts/lunches/ diners were good (mostly rice, chicken/ beef, veggies, pizza and fruit & pancakes and eggs in the morning). There was also coke and beer in the fridge in the jeep. The seats were comfy and we saw the animals up closely. The organizers made sure that we were in the right places and problems were fixed quickly. Definetly would recommend to book with these people. Shout out to Rocky!!!
