exceptional on all points of view
The Kiliholidays team is very competent, always attentive to travelers, we had problems with our and plane and they came directly to our "rescue", it's really a great team totally dedicated. Regarding the safari, the guide was very attentive and gave us his experience as much as he could, the meals were excellent and the accommodation perfectly adapted, I recommend kiliholidays to all fans of adventure and thrills.

An incredible trip perfectly planned by a highly experienced agent!
Simply, 'unbelievably exceptional!'
as follows, the email I sent to our agent (Encompass Africa) on our return.
Hi Gen
We returned from our trip last night so I wanted to shoot you a note whilst things are fresh.
We are as you know pretty well travelled with this trip landing us on 51 countries visited to date. To that end we have also used a fair number of travel agents putting things together.
I can honestly say this trip way surpassed our wildest expectations for what you delivered.
Travelling for nearly three and a half weeks with a variety of places, activities and free time to schedule whilst also nailing flights, tours and availability isn’t easy, but with this trip it was absolutely spot on!
Your recommendations for where we go and where we stay were an absolute delight and it astounded us that every hotel stay was simply amazing and a wonderful surprise, way beyond our expectations.
All this before we turn our attention to the locations themselves, which in Pondoro Lodge’s case was somewhere between inspirational and life changing both from the closeness to wildlife, the unbelievable accomodation and the pampering we received by the wonderful staff.
Our entire schedule was seamless and perfectly balanced with only two small glitches; 1. The KAZA visa didn’t cover us returning back through Zimbabwe and 2. an unfortunate gentleman who had a heart attack and delayed our final flight home. Neither of these things were an issue.
All in all we thank you Gen for your exceptional work and would be delighted to repay your professionalism by being a reference for anyone you care to send our way.
Incredible as it may seem we came upon you via the net and haven’t met face to face.
Please also convey our sincere appreciation to Katie and the rest of the team and again thank you for making our trip to Africa so very special and truly memorable.
Encompass Africa really are the Africa specialists!

So well Organized and a Memorable Experience!
Firstly Thank You Nasr! I had booked tickets last minute and was so confused with all the safari options available. He was straight to the point, Detailed, mentioned all content in the itinerary in the first email sent and this is what we loved about the tours! The Safari was amazing ans we spotted the Big 5 thanks to our amazing Guide Rocky and the food was beyond delicious! 3 meals a day, Camping overnight in the outdoors and friendly companions. We couldn't ask for anything more! Thank You So Much

Unforgettable Experience
We didn't really know what to expect when we booked this safari, and what we lived has been beyond our expectactions!
The communication with Maggie has been very good, and the safari itself was magical. Our 2 guides were amazing and made their best to make us see all the wildings - we saw the Big Five!
Probably because it was not full season yet but I've been surprised to see the park was not that crowded.
The nights in the Masai camp were good experience.
If I knew I was going to see all of this and the feeling I got, I would have paid double!!
Thanks

My wife and I could not have been more pleased with all aspects of this wonderful trip of a lifetime
I had never had an interest in going to South Africa until my wife and I met Lucia and Deon with Go Touchdown Travel & Tours at the Dallas Travel Show in 2018. They described to us a trip that sounded almost too good to be true. We talked 3 other couples into considering the same trip. They joined us on the Signature Tour and we just returned on Saturday, May 4, 2019. The trip was even better than we thought it would be. My wife and I travel quite extensively and we both agreed that this might be the best trip we have ever been on. There were too many highlights to mention in this short space. We expanded our Signature Tour to include Victoria Falls for 2 days. Humala River Lodge and Victoria Falls Resort were top quality and very unique. The wine paring lunch at Grand Provence was first class all the way and our favorite meal presentation. We went on at least 5 safaris, each with a very qualified, informed, and helpful guide. I took over 600 pictures and treasure each one We will talk about our wonderful experiences on this trip probably for the rest of our lives. Thanks for exposing us to a beautiful part of the world!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Sandra K
Tarangire was also quite amazing. The Baobab trees really are cool. We saw lots of giraffe and ostrich here. As well as a momma cheetah and cubs. Lots of gazelle and impala, and many pumba (warthogs). Beautiful weather and beautiful scenery.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Sandra K
Accommodations at the tented camp were fun. The place is so vast, we often felt like we were the only people there, except for the time we were looking at a leopard. Seems like everyone in the whole park was at that place at that time. But seeing a leopard is amazing!
we were also able to see lion and cheetah and lots of herd animals... wildebeest, hartebeest, zebra, gazelle, impala, waterbuck, and eland.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Sandra K
Ngorongoro crater is a very interesting place. it is deceptively large! We saw wildabeest and zebra too many to count. We saw rhino, lion, elephant, water buffalo and hippo, in addition to the gazelle and flamingo and baboon. So many animals. Such a beautiful place! Weather was amazing. Cool, breezy and sunny. Perfect!

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Sandra K
Lake Manyara was amazing. We saw 2 lions in the trees, had an up close view of elephants and enjoyed the baboons. Birds were also very plentiful and beautiful.
