The 3-day safari to Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, was incredible. The scenery was spectacular, and we got to view all of the creatures. Anthony, our guide, was wonderful. He knows everything about the Serengeti, was quite friendly, and guided us to the best sites. I am delighted to suggest this tour company for any safari in Tanzania. Tanzania is very amazing. We suggest it for everyone.

We were not disappointed and every single day was incredible, which we will remember for the rest of our lives! From out tour manager in Arusha office, who was very responsive over the course of our research on the operators to our guide and the driver - everything was impeccably organised, we wouldn’t change a thing.
The chosen lodges, selected routes, responsiveness to action or drive where needed, time estimation, food and patience as well as respect to all humans as well as animals left us speechless. I recommend them to everyone and already did to my friends. Thank you to the whole team, we will cherish this honeymoon memories forever!!! Thank you for making it special.

I would rate 5 Star for this Local Company
We had the absolute privilege of booking a safari with Kilisa Tours & Safari, and I can honestly say their service is nothing short of 5-star excellence. From the very first communication to the final day of our trip, the entire experience was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care.
Our guide was incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and shared insightful knowledge about the animals, landscapes, and cultures. Every game drive was exciting and perfectly paced, and the accommodations selected by Kilisa Tours were comfortable and well-suited to the authentic safari experience.
I would recommend this service to anyone as they deliver not only on organization and expertise but also on creating memories that will last a lifetime.
