Here’s a guide to exciting safari activities that ensure each family member, from the youngest to the oldest, has a memorable and enriching experience:
Collaborate with your tour operator to design a flexible itinerary that matches your family’s interests and energy levels.
Choose private tours to explore at your own pace and focus on what interests your family most.
The high/dry season (July to October) and Calving Season (late December to early March) are popular and more expensive. For a quieter experience and better rates, consider traveling during the low/green season (April/May).

What our Client Say
EXCELLENTBased on 117 reviewsVerifiedChris D2025-01-10Go with Kiliclimb African Safari In October 2024 a friend and I summited Mt Kilimanjaro followed by a three safari with Kiliclimb African Safari. Moses and his team provided an enjoyable, professional and safe trip from beginning to end! The whole crew was really friendly and they went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend a climb or safari with Kiliclimb.VerifiedYouri R2025-01-08Positive experience Ive done the safari tour with this organisation and im very positive about the whole experience. Their communication is very clear, they help you whenever they can and come and visit you in your accomodation if you have questiona. The safari was amazing, we’ve seen lots of animals and the driver was very kind and relaxed. The accomodation was very nice, clean and provides everything you need. They take care of everything. I would recommend it!VerifiedMarco M2025-01-07Beautiful Experience We did a 5-day Safari with kiliclimb. We arrived in the evening and the guys came to pick us up at the airport and welcomed us with refreshing drinks and snacks, after the many hours spent in flight. They then accompanied us to the hotel where we spent the night. The next morning we met our guide, Logan, and after a short and detailed briefing we left for the Safari. We visited the Tarangire park, and in the following days the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. Logan, always by our side, was always attentive to meet all our needs and answer our questions, he told us every secret about the local culture, nature and the life of the animals. We really met a beautiful person, with a heart of gold and we spent beautiful moments together, we had so much fun with him. It was an incredible and exciting experience. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to have an experience in Tanzania.VerifiedHemanta Sharma2025-01-07Just Amazing! Amazing experience. We had booked 3 day safari for Ngorongoro and Serengeti National Parks. Natie is amazing and organized our tour perfectly. She chose us the best lodge and with amazing views and good food. Highly recommended.VerifiedKwangsung H2024-12-29완벽한 소통, 신뢰할 수 있는 업체, 친절한 가이드 24년 11월 중순에 3박 4일 일정으로 프라이빗, 미드레인지 세렝게티 사파리 투어를 진행했습니다.업체를 선정함에 있어 원하는 조건, 예산 범위, 희망하는 숙소를 정해서 동시에 20군데 정도의 업체로부터 견적을 받았습니다.트립어드바이져와 safaribooking.com 의 평점이 낮은 업체, 평점이 좋은 업체라도 낮은 점수 리뷰(1, 2점)가 있는 업체는 제외하였습니다.그 중, 까다로운 질문에도 친절하고 신속하게 응대하며, 가장 합리적인 가격을 제시한 곳이 kiliclimb african safari 입니다.이 업체를 이용하며 좋았던 점을 두서 없이 나열하자면,수십개의 질문이 이어져도 모두 친절하고, 빠르게 회신하였습니다.예약 전의 소통 조차 매끄럽지 않다면 여행 중 문제가 생겼을 때 소통이 좋을리 없을 것 같아서 소통이 잘 되는 것을 중요하게 생각했는데 매우 만족스러웠습니다.투명한 예약 프로세스가 좋았습니다.다른 업체 후기에서 사전 예약한 숙소와 다른 곳에서 머물렀다는 이야기도 본 적이 있었는데, 이 곳의 경우 빠르게 숙소를 홀드한 인보이스를 증빙으로 보내주며 신뢰할 수 있게 해주었고, 덕분에 안심하고 예약을 진행할 수 있었습니다. (혹시라도 인보이스 없이 가격을 후려치는 업체는 조심하는게 좋을 것 같아요)예약할 때 이야기 했던 금액 외에 추가금액은 일절 없었습니다.가이드 Terry는 무척 친근하고 좋았습니다.빅5 동물을 모두 본 것은 당연하고, 운이 좋았는지 자주보기까지 했습니다. 시야도 좋아서 우리 눈에 보이지 않는 동물들을 찾아 알려주기도 하고, 동물들에 대한 설명도 충분히 해주었어요. 주변 가이드들과 소통도 원활해 끊임없이 동물을 찾아주어 좋았습니다.3박 4일 동안 개인 시간 외에는 계속 함께 지내다보니 가이드의 소프트 스킬이 중요하다고 생각하는데 Terry와 함께 지내는 시간이 즐겁고 편안했습니다. 서로의 언어를 가르쳐주기도 하고, Terry도 우리의 언어인 한국어를 곧잘 따라했어요. 여행 말미에는 가자, 그만, 좋아 정도는 쉽게 하더라고요. 숙소 3곳 중 1곳은 원하는 곳이 있어 지정하였고, 나머지 2곳은 업체에서 예산에 맞게 선정해주었는데 3곳 모두 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 직접 지정한 곳(KUBU)은 말할 필요도 없고, 업체에서 선정한 곳도 모두 깨끗했고,온수 샤워에 전혀 문제가 없었으며, 모기장도 완벽했고, 전기도 문제 없었고, 식사도 좋았습니다. 직원들의 서비스도 매우 만족스러웠습니다.차량은 공원 내에서 흔하게 보이는 차량과 동일했습니다. 지붕을 올려서 열 수 있었고, 차량 내에 USB-A 타입 충전 단자와 냉장고가 있었고, 냉장고에는 물, 소다, 와인, 맥주가 가득했습니다.저희가 허니문으로 방문했다보니 준비한 선물, 차량에 스티커, 숙소에서의 소소한 이벤트 등을 준비해주어 그 정성이 고맙기도 했고요.큰 금액의 돈을 지불해야하는 만큼 사전에 많은 고민과 서칭, 의사소통이 필요했지만 결과적으로는 아주 만족스러운 선택이었습니다.모든 과정에서 충분히 케어받고 있으며 사파리를 진행하는 동안에도 매일 Terry를 통해 투어가 잘 진행 되고 있는지 확인하는 모습도 좋았습니다.업체를 고민하고 있다면, 이 업체를 추천해보고 싶습니다! 저희처럼 깐깐한 사람들도 충분히 만족한 업체입니다!We recently went on a 4-day private mid-range Serengeti safari tour in mid-November 2024.To choose the right operator, we outlined our preferences, budget, and desired accommodations and requested quotes from about 20 different companies simultaneously. We eliminated operators with low ratings on TripAdvisor and SafariBooking.com, as well as those with poor reviews (1- or 2-star ratings), even if their overall ratings were high. Among them, the operator that stood out was **Kiliclimb African Safari**, thanks to their prompt and courteous responses to all of our detailed questions and their competitive pricing.Here are some highlights of our experience with them:1. **Exceptional Communication** They responded to dozens of questions with patience, clarity, and speed. Good communication is vital, especially when unforeseen issues might arise during the trip, and Kiliclimb excelled in this area, even before booking. 2. **Transparent Booking Process** We appreciated their transparency throughout the booking process. In some reviews of other companies, I had read about travelers being placed in accommodations other than the ones they had reserved. However, Kiliclimb promptly provided invoices to confirm that our desired accommodations were secured, which reassured us and allowed us to proceed with confidence. (Tip: Be cautious of operators offering suspiciously low prices without proper booking confirmations!) There were no hidden fees or unexpected charges; the total cost matched the initial quote exactly.3. **Amazing Guide: Terry** Our guide, Terry, was fantastic—both friendly and professional. Not only did we see all of the Big Five animals, but we also saw many of them multiple times, which felt like incredible luck. Terry's keen eyesight helped us spot animals we would’ve missed otherwise, and he explained their behaviors in detail. He communicated well with other guides, ensuring a steady flow of exciting animal encounters. Spending almost every moment of the 4 days together, we appreciated Terry’s excellent soft skills. He made the experience comfortable and enjoyable, even teaching us some Swahili while picking up bits of Korean from us. By the end of the trip, he could confidently say words like "Let's go," "Stop," and "Good!" in Korean.4. **Impressive Accommodations** Of the three lodges we stayed at, one was specifically requested by us (KUBU), and the other two were chosen by the operator within our budget. All three exceeded our expectations. - The accommodations were clean and well-maintained. - Hot showers worked perfectly. - Mosquito nets were properly set up. - Electricity was reliable. - Meals were delicious. - Staff at all lodges provided excellent service. 5. **Well-Equipped Safari Vehicle** The safari vehicle was similar to others commonly seen in the parks, with a pop-up roof for optimal game viewing. Inside, it featured USB-A charging ports and a refrigerator stocked with water, soda, wine, and beer, which was a thoughtful touch.6. **Thoughtful Honeymoon Touches** As we were on our honeymoon, the operator added lovely details such as small gifts, custom stickers on the vehicle, and special surprises at the lodges, which made us feel truly cared for.Given the significant amount of money involved, we spent considerable time researching, asking questions, and weighing options. In the end, we were completely satisfied with our decision. Throughout the process, we felt well-cared for, and during the safari itself, Terry checked in daily to ensure everything was running smoothly, which added an extra layer of comfort.If you’re looking for a reliable operator, we wholeheartedly recommend Kiliclimb African Safari. Even for detail-oriented travelers like us, they proved to be an excellent choice!VerifiedYasmin M2024-12-13phenomenal tour company We had a two day one night tour to see the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro. We absolutely recommend Kiliclimb. We had the most amazing time. And it was especially thanks to Logan our tour guide,he was absolutely incredible!!!!! He was an excellent driver and extremely intelligent. He showed us everything we wanted to see. We saw almost all the animals. And made our time very enjoyable. He is a great tour guide!!VerifiedLee C2024-12-12Outstanding! Had the most excellent Kilimanjaro climb with Moses and Kiliclimb Africa Safaris. I was recommended by a friend here in Scotland and I'm glad we used this company. Extremely competitive price for a private climb for my cousin and I. Our support team was 12 people total. From start to finish everything was outstanding. It was everything we hoped and more. Friendly guides and porters, excellent food (I mean we certainly didn't expect chips and fried chicken at 4000 m!), private toilet, a really nice hotel before and after the climb. Highly recommended! Thanks again Moses. All the best from the Highlands of Scotland. Lee.VerifiedStephan B2024-12-12Amazing trip last minute organisation We completed a 4 days Safari and a 2 days Ol Doinyo Lengai. We organised it 2 days before the day of the safari. I never thought they would be so amazing to organise quickly and so perfectly. The communication was flawless, everyday they checked on us, before during and even after the trip. So I would really recommend them as it's easy to organise with them. Now what to say about the actual Safari adventure... AMAZING... We saw lots of different animals. Yes we were lucky but the driver made it happen. He did an fantastic job to make sure our day was full and diverse. Can't think of a better Safari. Thanks Kiliclimb!VerifiedSandra H2024-12-10Highly recommend Kiliclimb Africa Safaris The entire process from booking the tour to completing the tour was seamless. Kiliclimb Africa Safaris responded promptly to my request for information and follow-up questions. They briefed me the day before the tour and visited me after the tour. The 4 night/5 day tour was value for money. I had my own room for two nights and spent two nights in a tent in the parks. The tents and shared bathrooms were clean. The tour was amazing, seeing a range of wildlife and scenery. I was very fortunate to have good safari companions as well as a great guide/driver and cook. My relative will also use the company. Thanks again to Kiliclimb Africa Safaris for the fantastic experience. Asante sana.VerifiedAlivia B2024-11-27Awesome experience Moses was great to book our trip with. Excellent communication, accommodation and transportation was as described. He worked within our budget and got us on an amazing joining safari with a great guide/driver and chef. Our trip was flawless.
