Everything was organised very good. Loved the team who took us to the top of the Kilimanjaro!
Our team leaded by Joseph and Andrew was amazing. Everybody was happy, singing and laughing. We got to the top together. The walk itself, Machame route 6 days, was fur us (living in Switserland and hiking experience) very doable. At one point we got a little altitude sick but Joseph was there for us and guided us through. Also the food was amazing. Still mind blown about what People can actually cook on a mountain. Soup, eggs, pancakes, toast, potatoes, chicken, beef, popcorn, rice, Spagetti. It was all there, Credits for that.
Thanks Joseph, Andrew and your crew. You did an amazing job and everybody who get to climb the Kilimanjaro with you will be as lucky as i am!

Nice trip
We had such a wonderful experience with Explorers Wild Adventures. Starting from the operator (Joseph) the tour guide David were all very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and charismatic. We had a variety of fresh food and ate happily three times a day. The game drive were great too- we went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park. We saw all the big 5 animals including cheetahs. Our guide, driver and care taker was David. Due to David we had a great time. The car was 4x4 and very comfortable and ample water was provided daily. We lodged every night (though nicer lunch were possible). David took care of us like a family and due to his interest and zeal, he always made sure that we were able to see all kinds of Wildlife during our game drive. Highly recommend this tour company!. Once again a big shout out to our David a good human being. Respect.

Honeymoon experience
We organised a trip to zanzibar and then booked a safari with adventure makers.
Everything was so easy, and communication was excellent.
The lodges were great, especially the little touches with it being our honeymoon. The driver was brilliant and his knowledge was good.nothing was too much
We decided to do a balloon ride, which again was sorted with no issues, and what an excellent experience it was.
5 star service and experience

Professional agency, good organization and Fiona was very responsive throughout the stay to meet our different needs. The safari was magical to him the density of animals is incredible and the landscapes magnificent. To do at least once in your life!

High-Value Safari Experience
After planning my itinerary, I contacted over 50 tour operators for quotes, and I ultimately chose Kili Serengeti Guides. It turned out to be a very wise decision.
During the initial communication phase, Emman replied promptly to emails, always polite and warm. Most importantly, he was extremely reliable. He addressed every one of my complex requests, which many of the other tour operators I contacted couldn't do. After paying the deposit, he proactively kept me updated on accommodation confirmations and waitlists for each day. He was always ready with answers to any questions I had.
Upon arriving in Tanzania, our guide and driver, Mike, had eagle eyes and could spot animals from a great distance. His driving skills were exceptional, navigating through a muddy patch where other vehicles would have turned back. He was experienced, composed, and expressed himself in simple and understandable English. He was easy-going, patient, and got along with us very well. He went out of his way to fulfill any of our requests, helping us to the best of his ability and answering any questions we had. He led us to witness the Big Five and we saw over thirty lions. When we wanted to have watermelon, he took us to a local fruit market and helped us negotiate prices with the locals. When we were concerned about flight changes, he took us to the airport for confirmation. He exuded a great deal of personal charm, and after spending a week with him, we were all reluctant to part ways.
KSG offered very reasonable pricing, and the guide's service was impeccable. This safari was absolutely perfect and left us with wonderful memories. I highly recommend choosing KSG!

Going above and beyond
I booked a 5 day Safari from Nairobi to Massai Mara - Nakuru - Lake Naivasha and it was fantastic. I was in contact with the office the entire time leading up to the Safari and they were great about responding promptly to any issues I had.
And our guide, Castro…wow. I can’t say enough about this guy. Our entire group agreed that he was the reason why we had such an amazing trip. He’s like an inexhaustible source of positive energy. While other guides I saw around were just going through the motions, Castro had the energy of going the extra mile to find the rare Animals to show us and he was the best drive I guess. We never got stuck or had any trouble and he even helped out other drivers in need.
He was well organized and we were every morning one of the first visitors to arrive at the entry point that was very cool.
So we were super lucky to have him on this tour. I’ll definitely do this Safari again with this operator.
At the end of the tour my partner forgot a bag of souvenirs in the bus, we just realised after our flight to Mombasa that something was missing. But when I let the Office know that we will be back in a week in Nairobi they were so kind to bring it to our hotel without extra charge. So this was an extra extra great experience so Castro and OFFICCETEAM a special thanks for that.

Excellent. A Lifetime experience. I will recommend this company to all my friends!!
Our tour was 6 Days Camping Safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park, plus an additional Nairobi city tour for 2 days at an extra cost. The communication all along was smooth and precise. The company offered us many suggestions and alternatives and helped us to customize our Itinerary perfectly to our choice.
We were a group of 8 people and arrived at the Nairobi airport at different times. Our pickup was arranged properly without any concerns.
We were received by our captain/driver and tour guide David at the airport and right from the beginning he made us feel safe and comfortable. We had opted for a 4x4 Land cruiser, which was just the right fit, but the boot space in the Jeep is limited so its better to carry soft bags instead for large suitcases.
The 2 days Nairobi city tour was good and gave us some extra time to lose the jet lag and catch some good city vibes. Recommendation from Nairobi - the Giraffe center, Nairobi National park and the carnivore restaurant.
The trip to Masai Mara National park was great. We were able to see the Lion, Cheetah and Leopord all in the first 2 days. In Lake Nakuru we saw the Rhinos. In Amboseli we saw Lions and Elephants.
The Lodges - AA Mara Lodge in Masai Mara was good. The rooms were big and clean. Limited but good options at Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner. Only issue was the shower which was very slow and we had to waste the water for 10 mins before we got some hot water.
Sentrim Elementa Lodge was awesome. The rooms were big and clean. The food was excellent. The staff was very friendly. I recommend this lodge to everyone visiting the Lake Nakuru area.
AA Amboseli Lodge was okayish. The rooms or tents make a lot of Noise during high winds. The shower was very slow. The food was bad. If possible look for a better lodge only in Amboseli.
The Masai Village visit was not worthy of our time or money. Lake Naivasha Boat safari + Nature walk is a good deal. We enjoyed it.
Thank you David for showing us Kenya in your own way. We will cherish this trip forever.

The Tour went very smoothly and excellently
Our Safari experience was really good. By the end of the trip we got to see around 20 different kinds of animals and their activities. 1. The guide we got was excellent a. He patiently explained us so many informations about animals and their day to day activities, also he made sure we see all the activities of the animals including hunting. He also made sure we're comfortable with food, places and people.
2. Apart from Safari the stay was excellent. We loved the accomodations. Receptionists, Managers were very friendly.
3. Food was good in some places, in few places or was average.
