Reviews of Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club

Breathtaking experience to remember

Summary: It was truely an amazing experience. I can only recommend it! Our tour guides Alex and Gaesper showed us amazing parts of their country, explaining culture, wildlife and nature to us. We travelled as a German family of 8 people, dividing into two Landcruisers in December 2022. We went to see the Tarangire national park (1 day), the Ngorongoro crater (1 day) and the Serengeti (2 days). On our last day, we also visited a waterfall and visited a coffee producer which was super interesting. The national parks are full of the most spectacular animals (including the big 5) and our tour guides did everything to make us see the animals so close and natural as possible. We ended uo seeing so many different species, such as the famous ones known from the Lion King but also animals I have never heard of before. I will never forget this experience. If you want to see different national parks you only need to know that you will drive a lot (also over bumpy roads) but this is part of the Safari experience! We stayed in three different hotels, especially the "Serengeti Heritage luxury tented Camp" directly located inside of the national park was a breathtaking experience. You could see (and hear) all the wild animals directly from your tent. The cook from there made amazing food and you were really inside of the wild (with Wifi of course). The other venues we stayed at were the "Ilboru Safari Lodge" which was a bit spartanic so we would choose another hotel the next time and the "Farm of Dream Lodge" where we also spent Christmas. The staff from there were super friendly, cooked a Christmas dinner for us and the whole hotel was so beautiful. The food was always good and the cooks at the venues also tried to adapt to different diets such as vegetarian food. Our guides were at first a bit more quit but from time to time they became very open to us, made jokes, tought us a bit of Suaheli and answered all of our 1000 questions. I can really recommend them :)! I am very thankful that they shared all of their knowledge to us. Also the price that we paid was very good and a real value for money. The company was really considering our wishes and adapted the itenerary to our needs. I can only recommend the Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club to everyone. Except for the one hotel, we would not have changed anything if we would need to rebook the Safari. Thank you again Alex and Gaesper! You made our Christmas the most special experience.

This group is absolutely amazing!

This company is absolutely amazing! From the initial booking to my flight home, each and every member did a phenomenal job to make sure that I had the trip of a lifetime! All of my questions/emails were promptly answered every day before the trip and I was met at the airport when I arrived in Tanzania late at night. Each of the guides did a fantastic job of teaching me about the country and keeping me on track during my tour. I developed altitude sickness during my trek up Mt Kilimanjaro, and my guide did not hesitate to have me sit down, he gave me water, coke and even carried my heavy day pack the rest of the way so that I did not have to. My safari guide Justin was also terrific and the best I could have asked for! I had only mentioned that I liked coke zero and then the next day I had a whole cooler full of coke zero to take on my safari to enjoy! He taught me so much about the country, animals, and community. He got great pictures when a cheetah hopped onto the top of our safari jeep and did a great job in keeping me calm during the process :). He is the BEST! He also kept in touch on my flight home to make sure I got home safely. They all truly care and I could not have asked for a better group I hope to plan another trip to Tanzania soon and will definitely use this company again for my trip! Highly recommend!

Incredible experience

Embarking on a Tanzanian African safari was a breathtaking adventure. The vast landscapes, teeming with diverse wildlife, created an unforgettable experience. Our knowledgeable guides Dennis,Rafa and Elias enhanced the journey, providing fascinating insights. Witnessing the majestic Serengeti and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater was awe-inspiring. Accommodations were comfortable, and the warm hospitality of the Tanzanian people added a delightful touch. This safari exceeded expectations, offering a perfect blend of nature, culture, and wildlife, making it an absolute must for any avid traveler.

A Safari that will leave you in awe

The 7 day Safari organized by Aenea and his team was beyond fantastic. Our guide, Kelly contributed greatly to making this an unforgettable experience! His eyes are sharper then that of an eagle’s, capable of identifying animals from miles away. His patience, persistence and passion for his work is admirable and his knowledge about all things is remarkable. If you only do one safari in your life, I highly recommend this one!

Best Safari Tour + Gorilla Trekking - a dream came true for us thanks to this agency

First of all, I would like to thank Adam and Makoninde for this wonderful trip. Makoninde planned everything with us (father, daughters 13 and 21) via email and tailored the accommodation and tours exactly to our needs and wishes. He also provided an all-round service with his team. Adam picked us up directly at the airport on the first day and we were ready to go on the second day. We always had super food with us and also the jeep was very comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Adam took us to the most beautiful and fascinating places with his knowledge. We had the opportunity to observe the animals up close, to accompany them and to experience them in their natural environment. Adam always listened to our wishes and spontaneously changed the tours to suit our needs. We always had the opportunity to be in contact with Makoninde and he helped and answered all our questions immediately. In addition, he even helped us with the hotel search and booking in Zanzibar and took over the communication for us. He always inquired whether we were doing well, which meant that we were always well looked after. Thanks to this agency we had by far the most beautiful trip to Africa you can imagine. Some key data about our tour: First 7 days we spent on safari with Adam after that we went to Rwanda for gorilla trekking which was also fully organised by Makoninde. After that we went to Zanzibar for another 6 days. The Payment was super safe and the price was more that just appropriate for everything we were able to do and see. In this sense, we would like to thank you again. Best regards from Germany

Reliable

We enjooyed a private 2 people safari in the 4 main Tanzanian National Parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara). Our guide Vincent was the best, well-prepared in explaining the behaviour of all animals we met and great driver. The accomodations are high level, all well equipped and with great quality food. The company is very smooth following your nececcities, honest and serious. Highly recommended.

We were happy with the organization and communication from Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club.

We had a great time on safari with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club. From the start, they were super communicative and worked with us to adjust our itinerary to something that fit our schedule and desire. We decided to find our own accommodations before safari and they picked us up from them. We did a 5 day, 4 night true safari (not including time in Arusha). We went to Tarangire, 2-nights in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and then Lake Manyara. We were glad we changed the itinerary to have 2-nights in the Serengeti because it was great to be able to go deeper into the park where there was less people. We wish we would have spent a night in the Ngorongoro Crater but it seems like you need to book that well in advance. We could have skipped Lake Manyara but it was the only park we say blue monkeys in so that was cool. Depending on the itinerary and safari you are looking for Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club can make it happen! All the meals were good too. We had hot lunches every day. These are prepared by your accommodations so could vary based on where you stay. But all the places we stayed were happy to hear if we had suggestions or desires for lunch. Sifuni was our guide and we had a lot of fun with him over the week! He was knowledgeable at answering any animal, bird, plant and park question he had. He taught us a lot of Swahili and about Tanzania. In total we saw 32 cats (25 lions, 3 cheetahs, 2 leopards, 2 serval cats)! Asante sana Sifuni and Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club for a memorable week!

A company that goes above and beyond to make your dream holiday; exceptional your operator

What a Christmas to remember from start to finish our trip delivered a holiday of a lifetime. Our guide Justine was just amazing. He had all the answers to all our questions and questions we didn’t even think to ask. His knowledge of Tanzania was incredible then throw in his knowledge on all the animals from the smallest birds to the largest mammals, we always knew what we were looking at. We were incredibly lucky with the glorious weather, despite it being the rainy season, and did see the big 5. Justine did everything possible to make sure we got to the best possible places for every animal, always in touch with other guides making sure we saw every animal hence we got the big 5 and so much more at such close range. My daughter was unwell on one day and Justine was constantly in touch with the hotel making sure they checked in on her every hour and she was ok. This meant so much to me and I was able to still enjoy a safari ride with my other girls and I have Justine to thank for that. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone looking for a memorable safari holiday, customer service is second to none and value for money is a definite. I cannot thank Justine and Kilimanjarotrekk enough for making this a holiday if a lifetime for myself and my 3 girls.

Victoria

Amazing experience with the best company and guide!

We had an incredible four-day safari guided by Jasper, and from the very first moment, we felt a great connection with him. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the trip. Jasper shared fascinating information about the wildlife, the landscape, and the local culture, and his passion for nature made the experience even more special. We were lucky to see all the animals we dreamed of — lions, elephants, giraffes, leopards, rhinos, and so many more — and Jasper always knew the best spots to find them. Every day was perfectly organized, and he made sure we had enough time to enjoy the views and take pictures without feeling rushed. The entire experience was unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Jasper truly made our safari adventure something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. Highly recommended!

Tanzania safari a must do!!

I had the opportunity of visiting Tanzania for the first time and I will definitely want to plan my return trip in the near future. Aenea has a wealth of knowledge about the area and his passion for his country is evident in the safaris he and his team conducted. Tarangire was a different experience for me and the favourite place from the three parks I visited. Its remoteness appeals to me as its not crowded and the sightings were amazing. Great way to end off your safari!

Genevieve

Professional safari company with good staff and equipment.

We, family of four, went on safari with KASC. The responses through email were quick and to the point. The price was also good. The safari was a fantastic experience thanks to our guide Gasper. He knows a lot about the animals and always had a fun story to tell. Our teenage kids loved him. We saw the big five and much, much more. We are very happy with our choice for KASC and with Gasper as our guide.

The best experience in our lifes

The safari was the best experience ever!!! In addition to seeing beautiful parks full of animals, we felt safe and comfortable at all times. The Kilimanjiaro team takes care of everything from the moment you land in Arusha; They pick you up at the airport and from there they take care of your accommodations (in incredible hotels), the transportation and the food, which is delicious! Our guide, Garson, was always friendly, made sure we were always comfortable, and was extremely knowledgeable about the country, the parks, and the animals. He was also a great driver. We did the safari for our honeymoon and it was very romantic and entertaining, they surprised us in each accommodation 💘 Sleeping in a campsite in the middle of the Serengeti was something we will never forget. It was an incredible experience that we definitely recommend and will repeat. We arrived as clients, and left as friends; Thank you for all your love, we will have you forever in our hearts 🤍 (automatic translation from Spanish)

Well arranged and chinese friendly with great guild

Kilimanjaro adventure is a great club as our host in tanzania. We have meet Alex(our guild) in the airport and he shares a lots of info during our way back to help us understand the country. We start our fantastic journey from Arusha to Serengeti. Alex knows how to track animals to get us close and get a clean shot. We are so luck to see the wildbeast cross the river, the big five and all other precious scene. During the roads, Alex drives carefully since there were three girls in the car. Most importantly, He loves china and we talk a lot about different cultures. The trip is totally mind blowing. Everyday is a blessing that you will not regrat！

Booking with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club is a 10/10 experience!!!

We had the adventure of a lifetime with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and organized. We were transported to the airport and met the manager of the company at our hotel, making for a great introduction. My husband and I spent a day doing a brief hike over Mt Kilimanjaro and then spent 6 days on a safari with Godlistn. He was, without a doubt, the best guide we could have asked for. We saw every animal you could’ve dreamed of and his knowledge and passion made all the difference. One evening, even after a long day, he went the extra mile (literally) to help us spot a group of lions before we headed back to our tent. When we return to Tanzania (because we absolutely will!), we’re requesting Godlistn again and booking through this company. You will not regret it!

Really Great Company and Team

Reached out to 4-5 operators and KASC was by far the most engaged in working out an itinerary that fit our budget and timing. Mary was super responsive in answering questions and solidifying the logistics. Owner met us upon arrival in Arusha and our guide Langeni was so nice, attentive and knowledgeable. Had great game drives and things were paced well. I think we would have been hard pressed to find a better value safari operator.

DSL

ANA SIMBA

We were in capable, knowledgeable hands, they provided the best possible experience.

From the beginning, our communications were personal and extremely helpful. When our travel arrangements went slightly awry, Kilimanjaro was responsive and understanding. They accommodated our revised plans which was a huge relief. Upon arrival at Arusha, our guide, Gasper, whisked us straight to our lodgings where we got much needed rest. The days of safari were wonderful beyond our dreams. Gasper easily explained what we were witnessing and always positioned the Jeep for the best possible viewing. His knowledge of the animals and their behaviors made for an exceptional experience. The first day he asked what animals we were hoping to see. We responded with cheetahs, zebras, lions, rhinos. We saw them all. It turns out zebra are plentiful and lions were easily spotted. But he also got us to the elusive rhino and cheetah. It was thrilling. Kilimanjaro Safari Adventure Club is an excellent customer oriented tour company and we highly recommend them.
