Highly recommended What a fantastic trip! It’s hard to make sure everyone is happy in a large group (11), but Kilipeak delivered! From the moment we loaded up our guides Karume and Shibani made sure each day was the best yet and that we see it all: fighting giraffes, wildebeest kill, warthog escape, chased cheetah, grazing rhino, hidden leopard, elephant herds and lion prides. They are fun, knowledgeable and wonderful Tanzanian ambassadors! At the end of our Safari, Kilipeak organized a full day hike on Kilimanjaro for my husband. His guide James was experienced and delivered him back tired and exhilarated. Our last day was a fun hike to beautiful Materuni falls and coffee tour with Abel who shared lots of local culture and customs. Abel and Frank (owners) organized a perfect Tanzanian adventure for us. Accommodations were very comfortable and food (even with dietary restrictions) was delicious and plentiful. Thank you! Highly recommended!

Exceptional travel experience in Tanzania. 10 +1 days trip was quite fun. We started in Moshi visited Materuni water fall plus a coffee making tour. We then traveled to lake Duluti near Arusha. Then we started four days Tarangire, Serengati, Ngorongro Safari tour. That was great. We ended in Arusha shopping and concluded our trip in Masai Tribe culture exchange.

Big 5 Safari and Cultural Tour Tarangirie, Serengeti and Ngorogro safaris were incomparable experiences of a lifetime. The driver/tour guides were highly professional and extremely experienced.Thoroughly enjoyed the cultural aspects of visiting native people as well such as the Maasai and the Materu clans.

Safari Adventure! There were many aspects of this trip that made my experience wonderful and memorable. We were able to explore the coffee making process in a completely different way, which incorporated dancing and singing throughout the entire process. Second, we were able to see 3 national parks: Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Serengeti, which had some many different animals to see, including the big 5. We were fortunate to have a knowledgeable tour guide to provide insights on migration patterns, timing of hunts, and where to spot animals in the different types of terrain. Lastly, I enjoyed meeting the Maasai tribe and participating in some of the traditions (e.g., jumping, making fire, and their version of creating cement). It was amazing to see how everyone from different walks of life (Maasai tribe or other tribes) co-exist without any issues and consider each other family. I would highly recommend anyone wanted to experience an adventure of a lifetime to check out Kilipeak!

5 Stars Fantastic little (and local) company! A friend and I had the perfect opportunity to explore a variety of the services offered by Kilipeaks and cannot recommend them enough. We were on a tight timeline and had reached out to Abel (the owner), and were given a custom schedule that worked perfectly for us. From being chauffeured from a nearby hotel, to a group safari trip to Ngorongoro Crater, followed by a private tour of Tarangire the next day, and personal drop-off at Kilimanjaro International Airport that evening - the entire experience was awesome. The group tour was a great way to meet people from all over the world while also enjoying the wilderness and wildlife of Ngorongoro Crater. We met with our group of 7 in the morning for breakfast. We had the chance to introduce ourselves and chat a little before our safari. We then loaded up into the Landcruiser and headed to the Crator. Once there, our guide gave lots of tidbits of information throughout the safari, as well answered all of our (many) questions. Lunch was simple and wholesome with all of our group's dietary restrictions being observed. We were incredibly lucky with this trip as we managed to see all of the Big Five in a single day. Before our private tour the following day, at our request, Abel drove us to a nearby town to pick up some local food to try during our lunch, before meeting up with our new guide. At Tarangire, our luck continued with us being able to see a bull elephant charge a small pride of lions to scare them off. Shortly thereafter we also saw a small group of lionesses stalk and hunt some warthogs near a stream. Once again our guide for the day was great! He filled us in on all sorts of information about the animals we saw (and didn't see), provided us stunning views of the park and animals, and was very accommodating throughout. Of the two different style trips (group and private), they both had pros and cons to them. Having done both though, I would highly recommend doing the private one as it was much more immersive, personalised, and relaxed. We could spend as much, or as little time, as we wanted watching the game; and had complete freedom with moving about the vehicle to get the best viewpoints. Plus the price was extremely affordable, and not much more than a group one. Not only did we have a fantastic experience safari'ing with Kilipeaks; when Abel found out that we were looking to explore Zanzibar as well, he contacted a local Zanzibar friend of his that got us a private and extremely well priced tour of Nakupenda. Abel really went above and beyond my expectations. He was extremely personable, helpful, and easygoing with everything we threw his way. I would highly highly highly suggest going with them for your safari (or other) in Tanzania! They are worth it and more!

A wonderful way to experience Tanzania. My favorite part of the trip was when in the Serengeti national park, we saw three different leopards in three different trees within an hour’s time. Our guides were excellent and the cook was perfect for me as I am gluten free.

Amazing Experience My travel companion and I had an excellent experience in Tanzania. Our driver/guide was experienced at finding the best views of animals and handled the challenging roads with great skill. Our chef was amazing, creating delicious meals for us every day in the wilderness. We visited a Massai village and watched craftsmen carving ebony. Our local host provided us with a chance to experience home life with his family. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his daughter, son, wife and brother and even had a cooking lesson using fresh local ingredients.

If you want an amazing safari with very experienced guides and a great personal touch, book with Kilipeak! The safari experience with Kilipeak Adventure more than exceeded our expectations. Compared to other bigger tour operators, Kilipeak is relatively small which makes that there is a great personal touch and they are very flexible to exactly fit the trip to your wishes. The owners and guides have a lot of experience in the business and in the area. Emanuel our guide knew exactly where to search when looking for the most rare animals. This surely helped with eventually seeing the big 5 on our safari! Also it was very enjoyable to have him as a guide!Moreover, all the accommodations are selected with care. We stayed in beautiful lodges with the most friendly staff. The service of Kilipeak goes beyond the agreed safari package. When we needed tips in Zanzibar for different tours, we could reach out to Kilipeak and without trouble they helped us out. Kilipeak offers a really great quality for a good price, so we would definitely recommend Kilipeak to anyone who is searching for the true Africa experience!
