Rabea S2026-03-14Noch nie so umsorgt gefühlt Die Safari war echt toll! Wir haben alle big five gesehen und generell war es ein tollen Abenteuer. Aufgrund der Regenzeit hatten wir ein bisschen mit Überflutungen zu kämpfen, dessen sollte man sich bewusst sein, trotzdem hat alles am Ende geklappt und die Tiere haben wir gerade deswegen in riesigen Herden gesehen. Die Organisation war mehr als gut, man hat uns immer direkt auf WhatsApp geantwortet und als ich danach meine AirPods vergessen hatte in einem der camps wurden die mir sogar nach Sansibar gebracht, also besser geht eigentlich nicht. Ich würde jedem empfehlen dort zu buchen! Campen in Zelten ist natürlich etwas mehr low Budget aber auch eine Erfahrung, die lodges hingegen sind top.Verified
ATownExplorer2026-03-12Happy is the BEST safari organizer - great experience. First let me start by typing that Happy, the young lady who organizes everything, is great to work with. She pays attention to detail and makes sure everything is in order. I contacted a number of safari companies, looking for the best deal I and mentioned I'd be celebrating my birthday. Happy was the only one to respond with a thoughtful message. Small details go a long way. As we negotiated the pricing, she even offered me a cake. That was really sweet of her. Emmanuel picked us up from the Arusha airport ON TIME and took us to our hotel. Happy arrived within minutes to give a briefing, take payment and give me the cake she promised :-). The following morning, Adrian picked us up in the safari jeep and after picking up a few more passengers we were on our way. The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Our cook, Richard, prepared some really delicious meals. Him and Adrian always made sure we were okay. I'd definitely recommend you use Kilipath. We'll be back with a group of friends! Asante sanaVerified
Franca L2026-03-08Abenteuerliche Safari während der Regenzeit Es war eine sehr abenteuerliche Safari mit vielen Erlebnissen und tollen Tieren. Wir haben alle Big Fives gesehen und noch viel mehr. Wenn man in der Regenzeit reist, sollte man sich allerdings darauf vorbereiten, dass einige Straßen überflutet sein können und man diese nicht passieren kann. Im Großen und Ganzen war es trotzdem eine tolle Tour.Verified
andrzej s2026-03-01Bardzo niesamowite doświadczenie Polecam Super safari zgodnie z otrzymanym opisem 5 dni w wersji budżetowej czyli 2 noclegi w namiotach w parku Serengeti a 2 w super pokojach. Bardzo miły i sympatyczny przewodnik Mathiu.warunki noclegowe i wyzywienie bez zarzutu. Widzieliśmy wszelkie możliwe zwierzęta ,dodatkowo ostatni dzień mielimy do dyspozycji odkryty samochód, super wrażenie. Lot balonem niezapomniane wrażenie. Dalibyśmy 5 gwiazdek ale z powodu iż organizator o godz 10 wieczorem zmienił godzinę odbioru na 6.40 rano ,gdzie szybciej uzgadnialiśmy wyjazd o 8-9 i jeszcze to potwierdziliśmy dzień szybciej w ich biurze (adres ich biura jest nie aktualny nie da się go nigdzie znaleźć) a musieliśmy zwrócić wypożyczone auto .Cała noc nie przespana ze stresu .Potwierdzam że rano postarali się to wszystko ogarnąć i wyszło Ok . Druga drobna sprawa w opisie jest dodatkowa opłata tip 10 dolarów dziennie ,czyli 100 za całość. Nam policzyli 140 , bo dodatkowo 40 dla kucharza ? Jeszcze jedna sprawa jeździliśmy z innym biurem podróży, czyli Kilipatch jest pośrednikiem ? Na koniec bardzo dziękujemy za zorganizowanie całości. Mamy niesamowite wrażenia firma Kilipatch bardzo dbała o całość mimo drobnych niedociągnięć. Możemy szczerze ja polecić. Ps. Polecam uaktualnić dane adresowe biura . PozdrawiamVerified
Junyi Z2026-02-22Great services The communications are wonderful, Lydia answered all my questions with rapid reply (even through email). The transfer guy also provide excellent service. I asked him to bring me to Masai market after Safari ends, and he did with no hesitation. Even more, he gave the companion with me in the market as I am a solo female traveller. Safati trip it self worth the price. Regardless that I booked for a group trip instead of private one, the pickup time was comaratively long. It usually took 2-3 hours before the safari actually start, and usually the game drive began around 9am, so if you are looking for hunting scenes, private trip may fit you better.Verified
evi b2026-02-14Unvergessliche Solo-Safari – Tolle Menschen, großartige Stimmung! Ich bin als alleinreisende Frau auf Safari gegangen und hätte mir keine bessere Erfahrung wünschen können. Von Anfang an war alles gut organisiert, entspannt und ich habe mich jederzeit sicher gefühlt. Unser Guide war einfach großartig – kompetent, humorvoll, geduldig und mit echter Leidenschaft für die Tierwelt. Man hat gemerkt, dass er seinen Job liebt. Er hat alle Fragen beantwortet, sich Zeit genommen und dafür gesorgt, dass wir die besten Momente und Ausblicke erleben konnten. Auch die Menschen im Auto waren einfach super. Obwohl wir aus verschiedenen Ländern kamen, hatten wir sofort eine richtig gute Stimmung. Viel gelacht, gemeinsam Tiere bestaunt und spannende Gespräche geführt – es hat sich überhaupt nicht wie „allein reisen“ angefühlt. Die Landschaften waren atemberaubend, die Tierbeobachtungen beeindruckend und die Erinnerungen unbezahlbar. Als Alleinreisende habe ich mich jederzeit wohl und integriert gefühlt. Ich kann diese Safari von Herzen weiterempfehlen – es war jede Sekunde wert.Verified
Culture073891845022026-02-12세렝게티의 축소판, 응고롱고르를 놓치지 마세요 세렝게티와 응고롱고르 서파리를 안내해주었어요. 나의 가이드 Assad는 매우 친절했고 점잖았어요. 영어가 서툰 제가 이해하기 쉽도록 또박또박, 인내심을 가지고 성실하게 설명해주었어요. 가이드의 능력 밖의 일이기는 하지만. 저는 야생의 삶을 고스란히 볼 수 있었어요. 버팔로를 포획하여 뜯어먹는 사자 무리를 코 앞에서 볼 수 있었고, 얼룩말과 누 수천마리가 대이동하는 환상적인 장면도 있었지요. 외에도 수많은 야생동물을 볼 수 있었는데 그 때마다 충분히 감상할 수 있도록 좋은 위치에서 여유있게 시간을 주었어요. 점심식사가 독특했는데. 다른 여행객들이 도시락을 먹는데 반해 우리팀은 일행과 큰 냄비에 담긴 떠뜻한 음식을 나눠 먹었어요. 개인적으로 따뜻한 국물 요리를 먹을 수 있고, 일회용 쓰레기를 배출하지 않는다는 점에서 너무 만족했지만. 야외에서 이런 뷔페를 경험하는 걸 누군가는 싫어할 수 있겠지요. 25일 어프리카 여행을 멋진 야생체험으로 마무리할 수 있어서 행복했어요. 고마워요. Assad!Verified
Damien B2026-02-02Very good safari road trip Great value for money. The organization by Kilipath was perfect: they were available, responsive, and everything ran on schedule. The team is extremely motivated. The jeep was spacious and comfortable, with power outlets to charge phones (although they didn’t always work). Our guide, David, was an excellent driver and did everything he could to make sure we were satisfied. He was very friendly and always in a great mood. The choice of lodges was excellent: spacious and luxurious. Lunches were very well organized, especially when eaten out in the middle of nature. However, we do not recommend the tent camp if you are looking for a minimum level of comfort (toilets, electricity). It also lacked atmosphere, even though there were many guests. Some light entertainment or welcome activity from our arrival around 4 p.m. until the evening would have been appreciated. Small bonus (or a big one in our opinion!): Kilipath gifted us a wonderful T-shirt!Verified
Joaquín B2026-01-24Great experience The 4-day safari was excellent, the guides were superb and respectful of nature. The accommodations were excellent. Prisca de Kilipath always made sure we had the best experience.Verified
Radim Slezák2026-01-20A great experience for the whole family. We booked a three-day stay with Kilipath African Safari. Lydia was very helpful and accommodating from start to finish in planning the trip and arranging all the arrangements. After arriving in Arusha, we visited Tarangire on the first day, and the next day we drove to the Ngorongoro Crater with the same driver, Mayunga. We were happy that we were able to observe wild animals such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopards, lions, hippos, flamingos, buffaloes and others in their natural environment of beautiful nature. We were also lucky and saw the big five, although the rhino was very far away, at least that's what the driver told us. :) The driver was very communicative and was able to answer our questions about not only the animals, but also the lives of the local people, interesting facts from history and some information about tribal conflicts. On the third day, together with our guides Lydia and Geofrey, we visited the Materuni waterfall with a breathtaking view of Kilimanjaro. During the ride to the waterfall, we used the time to chat with our guides and learned a lot of interesting information about the life and customs of the people of Tanzania. After swimming in the waterfall, we visited a local village for lunch with a demonstration of coffee processing, including roasting and subsequent tasting. At our request, the guides took us to a shop with truly beautiful goods, where we bought local pictures in the Tinga tinga style. :) All services provided and arranged by Kilipath African Safari were at a professional level and we recommend this trip to the mainland.
