A safari that truly came to life, thanks to the sincerity of the team and their passion for wildlife
I booked the safari just a few days prior to my arrival in Tanzania and requested just two quotes. The first request got an immediate response from another company that used polished language and cookie-cutter text. My second request was directed at Kili Slope and David responded quickly, apologetically asking for some extra time. Why not? So when I finally received the quote I could see that the itinerary was genuinely put together for me individually, based on the information I had provided, and David’s sincerity shone through. I’m ultimately glad I chose Kili Slope. Such a great team!
Everything went superbly well from start to finish. David showed himself flexible and thought along with me the two times I considered itinerary changes. In the end I stuck to the original plan, but I knew I could have it any way I wanted. The accommodations were comfortable, and sometimes even had a ‘Wow!’ Factor. Also, David personally sees to it that any issues are fixed even if it costs him a lot of personal time!!
Special thanks to our excellent driver Salim, whom I jokingly referred to as our ‘safari manager’. The other single traveler in our small group and I were able to leave all the thinking to him and simply relax and have a great experience. He was very professional and every day he would brief us on the experiences ahead, check in with our preferences and tailor the day’s game drive itinerary accordingly. What really sets him apart however, I think, is his passion for his country, and its nature and animals. Not just a driver to show you the big five (and see them we did!) so you could snap a few pictures and move on, he was eager to share his love for each and every animal, big or small. He explained the animals’ and trees’ characteristics and we had quite a few laughs over what turned out to be some quirky theatrics of nature. The safari truly came to life. I observed other drivers from other operators along the way. They seemed bored, and I believe Salim gave us much more. He calls the Serengeti his home and made us feel welcome.
I definitely recommend Kili Slope!

5 day Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro budget safari
I went on a 5 day budget safari in June 2018 to Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We were in a group of four (two couples) and it was a fantastic experience. It was my third safari experience and a first for the other three.
I researched safari companies excessively prior to any bookings and Kili Slope appeared to be the best with regards to reviews and cost. Communication was impeccable and I always received prompt responses to my messages. Payment was made really easy. They ask for a small deposit to secure a safari and the remainder is paid in cash upon arrival. They picked us up from the airport and we were put into a budget hotel for the first night in Arusha for no charge which was an added bonus. The entire package is all-inclusive with no hidden costs (tipping the guide and cook were our only extra costs).
The safari itself was an incredible life-changing experience. Our guide, Salim, was phenomenal. He was friendly, professional at all times, really enthusiastic about his job and just understands animals on a whole other level. He knew exactly where to go and we got into really close proximity to a multitude of animals - cheetahs, lions, leopards, hippos, rhinos, etc. He made it his priority to find us the big five and give us the best experience possible.
We elected for budget accommodation and we stayed in a fairly "glamping" style ensuite tent in Manyara with actual beds and the remainder were in tents pitched in campsites. The Serengeti accommodation was basic with running water for showers in the campsite. It was however made exceptional by Sam's cooking who accompanied us for the trip. We elected to have packed lunches (sandwiches, pancakes, juice, fried chicken, fruit) so we could maximise safari time. We were treated to a hot breakfast and a three-course dinner every day. The Ngorongoro campsite is lush with Wi-fi and hot water.
The service and tour greatly exceeded expectations and I would definitely recommend Kili Slope Tours and Safaris to anybody looking into booking a safari in Tanzania. I would personally request Salim, if at all possible.
Thank you Kili Slopes for a fabulous time!

Once in a lifetime experience, great organisation, great guide (Salim) great everything
kili slope did the part of our safari that took place in Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngoro-Ngoro, Tarangire). The communication before the trip went via our travel agency in Kenya, Right Choice (also great). We had an excellent guide (Salim/Simon), who did wonderful game drives with us, provided a lot of information about the animals but also about his country and was a lot of fun to be with because of his sense of humor. He was also helpful in organizing my daughter's birthday surprise, very reliable, a very good driver, one couldn't possibly expexct more out of a safari trip. We saw the big five and a lot more other animnals and learned so much about the animnals but also about Tanzania. The management also was very interested in our well-being, insisted on meeting us in Arusha and even brought us a cold coke as a joke, because we requested it as a condition of being satisfied. Good humour there also. So altogehter I can recommend kili slope and especially our guide Salim/Simon.

Lifetime Experience | Not to be missed!
David and his team were honest, and overly delivered, time and time again. We (my girlfriend and I) booked a three day tour with Kili on a moments notice, to go to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. David was a fabulous communicator, and laid out the whole trip for us, with proper expectations. However, the experience was so much better than we could have imagined.
The tour ended up having six people in total. We camped at each spot, and our cook prepared fabulous meals at each location. We began each day before sunrise with a shockingly delicious breakfast, and then we were off to see the animals. Our guide was chill, knowledgable, funny, and experienced. He took us to all the great spots, and we saw a silly amount of wildlife. There is absolutely nothing I'd have changed about our three day experience with Kili Slope Tours. I hope to come back for another tour in the near future. Thanks again David, you're a legend.

Great adventure
We took part in a 5-day safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
David (the owner) is a man of his word. Everything work out great and Kili Slope delivered all that was promised. Chef (Police) and driver (Jackson) were good at their jobs. We managed to see all the big five, basically almost all the animals that live in Serengeti.
If you wanna leave something out, then don't leave Manyara, usually that one is left first, I would leave out Tarangire, beacuse its really similar to Serengeti. Manyara has rainforest, which is really nice and different. Nothing wrong with the chosen campsites also. Serengeti one was really close to wildlife :)

I'm in love with Tanzania
This was not just a safari, it was a truly experience of life. My guide Ziggi is such an amazing and deep lover of his country that I couldn't refrain from falling for it too. I saw a lot of animals, nature and learn Tanzania people's aspects that I didn't know. Lodges were very luxurious but cheap in comparison to other tour operator. Food and staff were simply perfect and I felt like a speciale guest all the time. So, if you're looking for an expert tour leader, a friendly and experienced guide, clean and outstanding lodges at a cheap price, just go for it! I would recommend it to anyone. Hakuna matata!

Great safari
We were in Serengeti and Ngorogoro, and we were so pleased. Our driver, Ziggy, was amazingly good at finding the animals, and we saw all of the big five, as well as many more. I hope to come back one day, and then I will know which company and driver to use!

Superb wild life experience.
Hi we were a group of 4 people on a 10 day trip. Our target was to get some stunning images in the wild. The team of David and fadhili did an excellent work showing us the best sightings and spots. They were very friendly and had good knowledge of the wild. I would for sure come again and again through this company. They are very much trust worthy to deal with. I wish them all the best and for sure would ask my friends and contacts to go through them.

Excellent local manager and driver
They have rich and enough experience for Serengety and Ngorogoro tours and we could see a lot of animals including big5 during 6days visiting. I hope to ask arranging the tours again when I come back to Serengety.
The reason for reasonable is all arrangement by local but it is no problems with manager Mr. David and driver Mr.Gigi. During our visiting, when a minor issue happened, David and Gigi had been working well. I feel favorable impression by managed the company and tour by local people only.
