5.0/5I started researching this trip properly 3 years ago, & emailed a LOT of companies. Kili Slope Tours & Safaris stood out by far; the tour package they offered was perfect (mid range, 9 day safari inc Arusha National Park, 3 nights in the Serengeti, Taragire National Park, & the Ngorogoro crater), very small group (no more than 4), & the cost was extremely reasonable. David, the owner, was so very helpful & fully answered all my many MANY questions at all hours on WhatsApp. I’d decided on Kili Slope Tours just as covid hit, but he kept in touch throughout & did not hassle, and was completely accommodating with the constant changes occurring due to the pandemic. Kili Slope Tours offer small group safaris which really appealed to me. Pretty much all the companies use the same type of car, (4x4 Land Cruiser, who’s roof can be pushed up, with 7 seats + guide). Having witnessed a lot of the big tour companies packing the people into their cars, where every seat was taken, I was hugely grateful that David promised no more than 4. To be able to move about within the car & get to see everything when it mattered was so important. As it turned out, there was just me & one other guest in the car, as the other couple of guests had passport difficulties at the last minute (sad for them but a result for me). My guide was Stuart, who’s company I very much enjoyed & who’s great experience & knowledge of nearly 20 years was obvious when we were out on safari. I’m sure everyone says that about their guide, but he took decisions that others did not, and as a result we witnessed some truly fabulous scenes, and we would quite often be the only car. The accommodation & food at every location was v good, especially the luxury tented camp in the Serengeti which is an experience not to be missed. I’d definitely recommend Kili Slope Tours & Safaris- they can offer a more unique experience with a personal touch, and offer a flexibility that other companies do not. I’d also add that travelling as a solo woman, I always felt particularly safe & well looked after. Thank you, David (Senior & Junior) & Stuart, for making my Tanzanian safari trip a truly unforgettable experience.

We would like to say thank you to David and his team for all the organisations of our safary, because firstly we booked safari with differet company and it was fraud, person whom we made a preepayment stoped to answer our messages. So David helped us to make a report for police and search this person, he covered from his budget part of the fraud and organized us a new safari. He kept in touch us during all the trip and answered all our cuestions, very good support! Hotels and lodges were amazing, we felt african ambience during at all time of our safari!
Irina · Spain
We only had 2 days for the safari and a very limited budget. Thanks to David and his team, we got a lot of positive emotions, saw a lot of animals in Tarangire and Arusha National Parks (including 4 of the big 5) and just had a great time. Many thanks to Sia who turned out to be a very professional good guide, good driver and just a good guy. I recommend Kili Slope to everyone.
Viktoriia Oleksiienko · Ukraine
We had a very good time with our guide RAMADHAN CHAMBUSO. He picked us up at the hotel the first day and took excellent care of us until the end. His eye for animals is unique. We have seen them all. Since we were traveling alone with him as a family, he was able to perfectly adapt the five safari days to our wishes and his ideas.
