Kilipath African Safaris — Local services in Arusha

I had a "4-Day Majestic Tarangire - Ngorongoro Crater - Serengeti" trip. I really enjoyed the safari, thanks to the driver.

From Kilipath my manager was Prisca and organization was awful: They didn't send me information about the trip details until the night before the trip. The manager wanted to meet me, but I wasn't in Arusha that time. Then I needed to push her to say me the time of departure. And I received it only at 21:30. And it supposed to be 7:00 in the morning. It's first when I got stressed. Also that time they said that my tour company was changed to another company as they don't have place in the car (or something like this). That time I started to fell it's a scam. In reality it was the third company. Next morning I was ready at 7:00, but there wasn't a car. I asked Prisca and she didn't give me anything specific. Only "let me call the driver". And 20 mins later "He is nearly". But in reality driver came about 8:00 and I was the first in the car (so the delay wasn't on other guys in the trip). It was really stressful. The first night when we came to the camp it turned out there is no room for me. First they asked to wait until they finish cleaning. But then some other tourist came (from a different car) and I was told there is no room in the hotel. They changed my hotel and I had to drive back and forth for dinner and breakfast. And it's all after the day-trip when you are exhausted. A lot of frustration. They mixed our group. In different ways. First - they put in one car tourists with different accommodations. So the second night we were driving through 3 different camps and the same on the third morning (I was the last and the first in dropping and picking up). I saw others' cars - a lot of them were staying just in one camp. Another way they mixed groups - one guy had 3-days tour. And he didn't have that experience that we had on the first day. So he was slowing our group as he needed more time for watching zebras, etc. Also with us was a guy with a 5-days tour, but he didn't affect my experience.

So only the third night was good - all in one camp, no delays and other disappointments.

It was my real experience with the Kilipath and how things can be. Of course I complained, they sent a lot of sorryS, but it couldn't change my experience at all. And of course they have explanation to every...

Our three-day safari trip through Tanzania during our honeymoon was an absolute dream come true and exceeded all our expectations. We chose to explore the Serengeti on the first two days and Ngorongoro on the third, and each moment was filled with breathtaking sights and unforgettable experiences.

Our guide and driver, Michael, was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of the fauna and flora of both Serengeti and Ngorongoro made every game drive incredibly insightful. Beyond being a guide, Michael felt like a friend sharing in our excitement and helping us check off every animal on our to-see list. We only missed leopards, which makes us even more eager to return someday. The conversations with him were enriching, and his warmth and passion deeply enhanced our trip.

The accommodations were wonderful. On day one, we stayed in a beautiful lodge with stunning amenities such as an outdoor shower and a terrace jacuzzi, which unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy (we arrived to our lodge for a dinner and left around 7am). The second night was spent in a luxurious complex in a town outside Serengeti, which provided a restful and comfortable stay.

Travel logistics were smooth, including inbound and outbound flight transfers (with a truly memorable small plane ride for 18 passengers!) and seamless transfers to and from our hotel in Zanzibar. Although we left Serengeti around midday on day two, the drive between parks took a few hours, so planning accordingly is important. Michael took care of everything and made sure we are happy about everything during the planning process! Some of our fondest memories are the outdoor lunches with Michael in the midst of breathtaking landscapes.

To sum up, this whole journey was mind-blowing and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are incredibly grateful for every moment and would highly recommend this itinerary to anyone dreaming of an unforgettable safari adventure...

I recently returned from a 7-day safari with Kilipath African Safaris, and I can honestly say it was one of the best travel experiences of my life. From the very first day, the Kilipath team impressed me with their professionalism, warm hospitality, and deep knowledge of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes.

Our itinerary covered Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater—each park offering its own unique beauty and unforgettable wildlife encounters. We witnessed lions on the hunt, a river crossing by wildebeest, elephants up close, and even a rare leopard sighting. Our guide was phenomenal—he had a sharp eye for spotting animals and always made sure we had the best view and photo opportunities.

The lodges and tented camps selected by Kilipath were excellent—comfortable, clean, and located in beautiful settings with great food and friendly staff. Every day felt like a new adventure, yet everything was perfectly organized and stress-free.

Kilipath African Safaris truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an authentic, safe, and unforgettable safari experience. If you're planning a trip to Tanzania, I wholeheartedly recommend them. You’ll be in...
