Perfect company for safari
If you think about going on Safari in Tanzania, for sure you can choose Kiliholidays!
Advantages of this choice:
-Very experienced driver Thomas makes difference. He is able to spot animals fast and knows how to find them. He is very good at answering any questions. Super nice guy!
-Talented cook Daniel is taking good care of the food. Local Tanzanian food is amazing!
-The main man Mack is very helpful, always answers the questions and organizes the trip perfectly.
If I could go again for a safari, I would choose this company again!

Excellent Service
The tour guides and drivers were very professional and informative. My trip to Queen Elizabeth was more than what i expected. All that was quoted in the itinerary was provided and in full .I have no difficulty in recommending the Company.

Extremely impressed by their attention to details
My wife and I just finished a private 11day tour of Uganda with Kent Safari Tours. We have travelled through Africa before, but didn’t know what to expect of Uganda and this local tour company. We were extremely impressed with both.
Uganda is such a beautiful place, and Kent Safari Tours designed the perfect tour to appreciate this wonderful country.
This company selected several outstanding hotels for our tour. Our guides were the best. We felt extremely well taken care of.
Thank you do much, Kent Safari for an unforgettable experience.

Amazingly well organized, prepared and knowledgeable.
Our tour was great, the tour guide Ed was incredibly knowledgeable. His excitement and passion for the tour shined at all times. The food provided was absolutely incredible and more that we could have ever asked for. We were concerned because the cost was significantly lower than many others of the same length but there was no need for this. The lodges were nice, not luxurious but that's not what we ere there for anyways.

Excellent Organistaion to Masaai Mara and Lake Nakuru
We have organized a safari through Bigmac Africa safaris which was an excellent choice. Magdalene helped us in all aspects. She was very kind and helpful and arranged a well organized safari for us. Anthony our guide has an enormous knowledge and was a very good driver, and an excellent guide. He was friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout the trip. He is knowledgeable about the park, the animals, and their habits and his ability lead us to find a lion in the park. With his ability we had the chance to see big 5 closely in 3 days of game drive.
Also the 4x4 Jeep is the best, it was quite comfortable. I would recommend bigmac africa safaris anytime.

Fantastic experience!
A friend had recommended Meektrails safari to us and we were super happy about how everything went. They were able to accommodate all our requests (timings, destinations and budget) in a very short notice and yet all went wonderfully. We also couldn’t be happier with our driver, who was very kind and taught us a lot about Kenya’s wild life. Totally recommend!!

Discover Africa, and Megan W specifically, paved the path for an amazing experience for us!
Megan W (Discover Africa) actively and proactively kept communications flowing with us during the pre-trip planning and leading up to the start of the trip itself. She even reached out during our trip to make sure we received communications from the airlines about changes to our domestic flights. We were very pleased with her attention to customer service and satisfaction. We spent a few days in Cape Town, and we were pleased with our accommodations and our day tours while there, all arranged by Megan and with very good value for the money. Additionally, Megan facilitated our flights to/from and our stay at Rattrays Camp on Mala Mala Game Reserve. What an incredible experience! Mala Mala exceeded our expectations in terms of accommodations, food and drink, staff, customer service, and the overall experience. Very high value for the money. Thank you, Megan and Discover Africa, for an amazing experience! We will definitely recommend you to others, and we will be returning customers when we are ready for our next adventure.

Disorganized and felt unsafe
I would warn against booking with this company. I felt unsafe on this trip, particularly once the safari moved from the portion in Kenya to the portion in Tanzania- to the extent that I ended my trip four days early I was frequently handed off between different guides and drivers without a secure way of confirming who was affiliated with the company and who wasn't, and was sometimes left without a guide or driver at all. At the Namanga border crossing I was left by my driver/guide and a local was paid to see me through the process and onto the shuttle to Arusha, Tanzania. I didn't have service in the area, and if anything had gone wrong had no way to contact anyone. I did not know who I would be meeting in Tanzania or have a way to reach them or know when they would be picking me up. Once I was in Tanzania, my itinerary was changed so that I could be shuffled to join other drivers and tour groups. While I was still slated to visit the same places in the end, changing the order meant that my family and friends at home would not know where I was on a given day, which made me uncomfortable as a young, solo female traveler. Because I was being passed between groups, I also didn't know who my driver would be, where I would be going on a given day, or who might contact me with this information and when. When I contacted the company with concerns they didn't see these issues as valid.
Part of the reason I booked this specific tour was because it is advertised as vegan-friendly. Despite letting the company know in advance that I was vegan I was frequently unable to eat anything besides fruit and juice, and had to re-explain what my diet was over and over again. Two days into the trip I contacted the company about this and never received a response. I think it's dishonest to advertise this tour as vegan-friendly.
The guides and drivers were all friendly and honestly trying to help solve my problems, admitting that the way things were being handled was far from ideal, and I saw many beautiful animals, but I don't feel like this was enough to overcome the company's mismanagement.
Other travelers I was with were in similar situations, with their itineraries being changed last minute and sometimes prices being increased beyond expected while they were already on the tour, or having their lodgings changed to cheaper options after they had already paid.
*I found this tour through TourRadar, and though they asked for my review the review I submitted never appeared on the site.
