Great experience around. Pre safari communication was prompt and seamless. They were so flexible with my strict budget and incredibly patient with my changes. The safari itself was just phenomenal. My guide Umbeni was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with.

Amazing bucket list vacation with an amazing company. We went on an 6 day safari with guide Chris. Saw every animal, stayed in great accommodations, ate wonderful food and had the time of our lives. Could not recommend Kilisa's safari more. Following our safari, we embarked upon a Kilimanjaro trek along the 7 day Lemosho route with guides Rama and Bacari and crew. Everyone was so FRIENDLY and catered to our every need (lots of needs at 15k+ feet). We successfully summited and don't think we would have without the Kilisa team looking after us. Unforgettable trip that really lifted our spirits after no traveling due to global pandemic. Everyone in Tanzania is kind, warm and welcoming. The team at Kilisa is no exception. Please consider Kilisa and guides Chris, Rama and Bacari on your safari and trek!

We booked a safari through Bujo Tours because of the good reviews. They arranged for us a transfer to Arusha, where we started our journey. Before leaving we were assigned to another group that was not run by Bujo Tours.We didn't like this because you decide to book agency based on good agency ratings.But the fear was useless as the safari was excellent. Anyway, the trip was a bit overpaid.Tourists who booked on-site paid 160USD per day and per person. We were charged 210USD per day by Bujo tours (we have booked on line in advance). I advise not to book in advance, as there are a lot of safaris providers available and you will always find someone who will suit you. One way or another, everyone goes the same route. However, thank you to the driver and everyone for a wonderful trip. We saw 4 of 5 big ones.

Before safari we did trek for 4 days with our guide Maziku the young hero, Maziku from Rupia was young man but very professional and educated he know well the mountain and many specias of birds and plants, his English was slow but well understandable, the route was bit steap and summit day was bit challenge, we started midnight and reach on the top early morning around 6am, the peak was good no cloud on our day we viewed well Arusha town from the top, we thanks Rupia Adventure for this amazing trip and Maziku with his team

Would you like to see a different side of Kilimanjaro? Would you like to visit a coffee farm and help make a pot of coffee from scratch?! If the answer is yes then this is the route for you. About two hours outside of Arusha is the village of Materuni, home of the Materuni waterfalls made up of snow run-off from Kilimanjaro. It's an easy half hour walk to see the falls. After viewing and possibly swimming in the falls, return to the village and experience how coffee is made. Members of the Chaga tribe will show you where the coffee is grown and you will help make the best cup of coffee you have ever tasted! You will help grind it, roast it, sift it, and finally drink it. As you are approaching Moshi keep your eyes open because every so often the clouds part and you can catch a glimpse of the iconic Mt. Kilimanjaro! My favorite tour ever!

Inclusions: Lunch, Bottled water, Private transportation, All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: Use of bicycle, Alcoholic Beverages

We have enjoyed a nice 3 nights experience in safari with Oltumure tours. We have stayed 2 nights in Serengeti National Park and 1 night in Ngorongoro conservation area. We have experienced 4 game drives in serengeti and 1 game drive in ngorongoro crater. For sure all the big 5 have been seen! Robert and his team (Joseph the driver and Joseph the cook) were very friendly and explained us everything! I can recommend them!

Safaris represent a very special experience and it was great to feel you can just seat back and let the experts plan the very best for you. Safari Soles were recommended to me by a friend that went on a Safari with them in January, so when I decided to also go on a Safari in April, I got in contact with them. From that first contact communication went very smooth, Bryson was very attentive to my requests and, through his experience, helped to shape the itinerary of the Safari, as to maximize the experience. I received his support when booking the accommodation in Arusha, for the beginning and end of our Safari, after having my sights set on the Rivertrees Country Inn. He helped us obtain the best rates per night, better than what was offered through booking.com and also a lot more flexible. And this flexibility really came in handy after having our arrival flight to Kilimanjaro airport delayed and couldn't leave towards Ngorongoro National Park, the same day, as planned, since our accommodation was inside the park, and we weren't able to reach it before the closign of the park gates. So, on a very short notice, Bryson saved the day :) - we went directly to the Rivertrees Country Inn and started the Safari the next day. He could arrange so that we could go first to Serengeti and then to Ngorongoro, and changed the accommodation date for Ngorongoro. I don't know what we would have done, if we were to have booked the accommodation by ourselves. Also, I need to say that Safari Soles's prices are really good compared to other Safari companies. I was in contact with other Safari companies as well, but their prices were significantly higher. Bryson even helped us do a balloon Safari in Serengeti, after deciding to go for this experience from one day to another. Our guide and driver, David Simba, was very knowledgeable and we could find out a lot of interesting infos about the wildlife; also, he's a nice guy to be around, we felt safe with him and he organized the best lunches for us in the park. So Safari Soles is a great team, you really feel you receive support from them when needed, and they go that extra mile to make sure the experience is one of a kind. Definitely recommend them!

He was extremely patient with all the questions we had about Tanzanian lifestyle, society, politics and we learnt so much during the time we spent with him. The spings are simply amazing!

10. Manyara National Park Day Tour

Livingstone Safari Tanzania

Lake Manyara National Park is the only place where lions can be found with this atypical behaviour of climbing trees. Baboons and vervet monkeys are also found amongst the forested areas and in the more open spaces, giraffes nibble at the fresh leaves while the various types of antelopes common to the region browse for tasty shoots. After a picnic lunch, there will be more time for further game and wildlife watching before it is time to return to Arusha.

I have never experienced the beauty and the speechless grandeur of a waterfall like this, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and was an excellent person to have as a guide, the lunch was superb the snacks were great and I was complemented at the end for my accomplishment. I highly recommend this tour for anybody who wants a REAL experience of Arusha and Moshi, and a day trip to Kilimanjaro falls, some tours you can take pictures and it conveys the beauty, with this one it was impossible. Thanks again it was something I will treasure.
