10/10 — The Experience of a Lifetime!
10/10 — The Experience of a Lifetime! 🦁🐘
We honestly cannot recommend Lukiano and Dorit highly enough. From the very beginning, they were caring, knowledgeable, reliable and incredibly well organised. We emailed them about what we hoped to see, and they thoughtfully tailored the entire safari around us. They also coordinated all our transfers, taxis, flights and drivers, making the whole experience completely seamless.
Having a private jeep just for the two of us made everything feel incredibly intimate and special. The whole safari felt completely unreal — we saw the Big Five, the Ugly Five and so much more: spectacular lion pride, lions feeding, two lionesses in different locationa with their cubs, playful cubs, elephants and their babies, hyenas, hippos, rhinos,giraffs, zebras, Pumbas, so many more and even an antelope hanging in a tree with a lion resting nearby after its meal. And, of course, witnessing the Great Migration river crossing was absolutely spectacular.
Lukiano is a formidable guide. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and respectful of the animals and the environment. He always seemed to know where to go and when, and taught us so much about the Serengeti, its wildlife and the Ngorongoro Crater. At one point, when many vehicles had gathered around the migration, he explained how the animals experience human pressure. We really appreciated that he respected the rules and the environment, unlike some other guides we witnessed.
Everything was beautifully organised, including our accommodation, which was amazing, sleeping in the luxury tents was unforgetable at night we heard lions, and hienas and even had visitora by the tent. During the game drives we had fresh food, water, juices, fruit, treats and coffee, and the jeep was extremely well equipped with blankets and binoculars, minibar with cold drinks, fresh fruit. They stopped on route to the airport and we got lot of fresh fruit and tried local delicious fruit including sugar cane.
Honestly, this was the best travel experience we have ever had anywhere in the world — and we travel a lot. Dorit and Lukiano are a fantastic couple who clearly work together with genuine care and passion to create unforgettable experiences for their clients.
10/10 for the experience, organisation, coordination, calmness, proactivity and friendship. We were genuinely sad when our safari ended, and we already miss them both.
Thank you, Dorit and Lukiano, for giving us the best experience of our lives. You have enriched our lives forever. ❤️
Lots of love,

Adventurous safari with amazing impressions
The staff were very helpful during the booking process and accommodated our wishes and needs.
Jacob is a great guide and did everything he could to ensure we saw as many animals as possible.
We have gained great insights of safari life and enjoyed our trip.
The only thing we didn't find ideal was that we had to change drivers and vehicles twice during the safari.
But overall, we had a great time.

Well organised, with a guide who spots everything
Tazama organised our 6-day safari to the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, and everything ran smoothly. Denis replied quickly before the trip and even booked our train tickets. Our guide Hirum was punctual and has amazing eyes – he found us lions feeding and even serval kittens nursing. He's also very warm and friendly. Highly recommended!

Super fantastic
An unforgettable experience in the heart of Tanzania! 🐘🦁🦒
We spent four incredible days on safari in some of the most spectacular parks in Tanzania, and a huge part of the success of our experience is thanks to our fantastic ranger and safari driver ELIAS.
He was so much more than just a driver: an experienced, knowledgeable and passionate guide, always looking for the perfect spot to give us the best possible view of every animal and every unforgettable moment.
Thanks to his experience, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃, as well as so many other incredible animals. We experienced moments that we will carry with us forever. Every day was a new adventure, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, spectacular sunsets and wildlife encounters that felt like something straight out of a documentary.
We especially appreciated his kindness, patience, friendliness and professionalism. He was always attentive to our needs and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey.
It is clear how much he loves his job and how deeply he knows the area and the animals. Many times, he spotted animals long before we even managed to see them! 😄
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our safari such a special and unforgettable experience. If we return to Tanzania, there is absolutely no doubt that we would choose him as our guide again!
Highly recommended! 🇹🇿❤️

Perfect Perfect Perfect
We are incredibly grateful for the most unforgettable four days with Kilipath Safaris. From the very beginning, the entire experience was absolutely exceptional.
A very special thank you goes to Lydia, who organized and planned our entire safari and accompanied us throughout the whole process. She was incredibly helpful, attentive and always made us feel like we were in the best hands. She constantly checked in to see how we were doing and made everything possible to ensure that everything was exactly the way we wanted it. And her response time is simply incredible - whenever we had a question or needed anything, she replied unbelievably quickly. You can really tell how much she cares about her guests and about making their experience perfect.
The organization from start to finish was flawless. Everything was perfectly planned and coordinated, and every member of the Kilipath team we met was incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful. We always felt completely taken care of.
But what truly made our safari so incredibly special was our guide and driver, Assad.
We honestly could not have wished for a better person to experience Tanzania with. Assad was not only incredibly kind, warm-hearted and funny, but also exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. His knowledge about the animals, nature and the different national parks was absolutely unbelievable. He always took the time to explain everything to us and answered every question with so much passion and enthusiasm.
And most importantly: Assad gave absolutely EVERYTHING to make our safari unforgettable. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals, even when they were almost impossible for us to see. He always knew where to go and patiently searched for the best possible encounters. You could truly feel how much he cared about giving us the experience of a lifetime.
Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five, but that was only a small part of what we experienced. We saw an incredible variety of animals and so many unforgettable moments that we will probably talk about for the rest of our lives. Every single game drive felt like a new adventure. Assad made us feel safe, comfortable and completely relaxed throughout the entire trip. By the end of the safari, he felt much more like a friend than just our guide.
We are on our honeymoon, and this safari was without a doubt one of the absolute highlights of our trip. We will be forever grateful to Kilimpath Safaris - and especially to Lydia and Assad - for making these four days so incredibly special.
If you are considering booking a safari in Tanzania, we could not recommend Kilipath Safaris more highly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for an experience we will never forget! ❤️🇹🇿

Samburu Special Five and Masai Mara Big Five
With WECAM SAFARIS, we completed the eight-day Samburu and Masai Mara Safari Tour, and it was truly an amazing experience! From the view of Nanyuki to the Samburu National Reserve to the Samburu Special Five - everything is amazing. I was fascinated by the Big Five and the big cats in the game drive in Masai Mara. The guide was very experienced and friendly, the camps were also comfortable. MERCY arranged the whole package well. If you want to see the wildlife of Kenya, this tour is a great option!

Unbelievably Great Safari!
Our safari was amazing and so wonderful, we could hardly believe it. Every day was better than the day before and our expectations were met in every way. Matthew helped us organize a tent camping trip for my husband, myself, our 34 yo daughter and her 3 friends. We were 8 days in the bush and saw every possible creature we could hope for. Our guide Master was extraordinary. From tracking to his amazing patience while our group snapped photos, he was the best and we felt like we won the guide lottery. We had a blast. Our trip was easy to organize, the accommodations were great, the pricing very reasonable, the food delicious and the camps were just what we hoped for. We are looking at a 2nd trip to Madagascar through Indigo! Thank you to Indigo Safaris for a trip of a lifetime.

Silas is a flexible, warm, enthusiastic tour guide and owner
We had an amazing time in a large group of about 40 tourists from Taiwan. Silas had to coordinate 7 Land Cruiser drivers across over 1000 km of driving, more than 6 national parks, and a group of people all with different preferences, attitudes, and needs. He did an amazing job and my family was fortunate enough to ride in his vehicle.
Silas is incredibly knowledgeable about the parks, having over 20 years of experience, and it was amazing to see him driving around without any need for navigation. He always maintained a positive attitude throughout the trip even when some clients were, in my opinion, unreasonable in their requests.
He also showed us a couple spots, even the in the most busy Maasai Mara national park, where no one else really knew of.
Overall, I’d highly recommend Free Africa Tours. Silas will take great care of you!

Great Experience
Lynn and the team were fantastic. They arranged our trip to Victoria Falls from start to finish and everything went off without a hitch. Great accommodation and all activities were a true experience. Thoroughly recommend.
