EXCELLENT Based on 282 reviews Coastal078744656122025-03-08Verified Escape to the heart of Tanzania: An unforgettable safari with Kimgoni Et Caroline from TanziBar Travel This safari in Tanzania, with Kimgoni and thanks to Caroline’s planning from TanziBar Travel, was an incredible experience, a real dream come true. It was my first safari and everything went great, no problem, thanks to a guide who did everything I could to see the cats. The beauty of nature, the majestic animals and the emotions I felt at every moment were much more than I expected.The highlight of the safari was when I saw the cheetah mom. A female was looking for her baby, and it was so touching to see her so attentive and calm. Then I saw lions, the kings of the savannah. Seeing them rest under a tree or walk with so much power really impressed me. I shivered when a lioness landed next to the jeep!I also saw a leopard. Her gaze, calm and silent beauty fascinated me. He was there, almost invisible, but so impressive.Then there was the migration of wildebeest and zebras, an incredible sight. I got chills when I saw all these animals moving together in a natural ballet. It was a really special moment that I will never forget.This safari was not just a trip, it was a real immersion in nature. Thanks to my guide who is a very good driver, I had a unique experience, full of surprises and emotions. This first safari was a great success and I will always remember it.THANK YOU Kimgoni and Caroline! I recommend them to 💯!!! Go ahead, you won't be disappointed! Diksha2025-03-07Verified Wonderful Safari with Kimgoni Tanzania Safaris Kimgoni Tanzania Safaris provided the greatest Tanzania safari holiday. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently from beginning to end. We saw the Big Five and enjoyed every moment. A absolutely wonderful journey. Cédric A2025-03-06Verified Great family safari experience Great safari experience! 3 days with an excellent guide that taught us a lot about animals and nature (very good French). Perfect organisation, kind and kept us safe along the way. The 3 days safari with combinaison of 3 parcs (Tanrangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara) was a perfect mix for the family with kids around 12 (not too long and varied landscapes). Accommodation were very good to OK (first night in Arusha) Charles-Antoine D2025-03-01Verified Ascension Kilimandjaro - Machame Ascent of Kilimanjaro by the MACHAME route on 7 days with two friends, superb organization, a big thank you to our guides Emmanuel & Robert as well as all the porters and the super cook who made us live an incredible experience! Very appreciative to have a guide who speaks French during the trek! I recommend OnAir5003622025-03-01Verified Great. We did 3 days of tent safari. We are really delighted with our experience.The scenery is beautiful and our guide Thabiti was really great. He gave us all the detailed explanations in French, he really took the time, adapted to us and he really has a lot of knowledge. Moreover we were lucky to have with us Ganael our cook who feasted us for 3 days (a feast!). Another big thank you to both of you really! Mario B2025-02-27Verified Cahotic and very disappointing organization Family of 7, we have just returned from a 7-day tour organized by Kimgoni agency (1 day in Arusha, 3 days of safari then 3 days in Zanzibar). Sorry to throw a stone in the pond, since all the comments are complimentary but, for our part, we were not satisfied at all with the organization of our trip.Some positive points to start with: Three days of exceptional safari (Plaine de Ndutu south of Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) , where we could observe countless animals, thanks to our guide Nahum: careful, patient, he shared with us his knowledge about animal life. He also speaks impeccable French. We thank him once again for introducing us to these wonders of Tanzania.However, many negative points regarding the organization of our trip: big mistake on our arrival day in Tanzania. However, we had provided our flight confirmations early on, and the agency staff confused our departure time from Paris (on Friday evening) with our arrival time at Kilimanjaro airport (the next morning). As a result, there was no availability in most of the hotels we had chosen, flight shift to Zanzibar. Some details:Day 1: Hotel different from the one we had chosen. We didn’t understand why because the direction of our tour was changed, we were supposed to sleep at the hotel originally planned. Nice hotel however, excellent meal so no problemDay 2: Overnight at Sero tented camp. Matched our reservation.Day 3: Things are getting messy. Hotel chosen by default surely. At the end of construction, unkind staff. Here the (unappetizing) meal is placed on the table and served yourself. Breakfast: bread is full, milk powder and coffee powder...Day 4: We had to fly to Zanzibar in the evening. But more availability on flights due to the date difference, so booking too late. Concrete hotel, dirty outside. Friendly staff however and very good food.Day 5: Takeoff for Zanzibar. We lose half a day of our stay on the island. Arrival at the 4-star hotel we chose, very good. But... more availability for the last of the 4 nights we had to spend there. Philippo is relocating us to a nearby hotel, this time 3 stars, very summary comfort (air conditioning does not work in 2 of the 3 rooms) and the meal is not tasty. We got 2 free lunches in exchange for our many inconveniences but did not enjoy the last one. We preferred to pay at our own expense in the hotel originally chosen.Icing on the cake: full-day snorkeling tour to Mnemba Island, including seafood meals. After negotiation, we were able to carry out the excursion (because Philippo planned to send us elsewhere). A driver and a French-speaking guide we could have done without. She spent her time talking to the driver. Snorkeling nice. Return in the early afternoon and surprise: meal on the way home, composed of a local Kebab. But where were our seafood??In conclusion: this date error, for which we were absolutely not responsible, partly ruined our family trip. A lot of time spent on the phone to get information, feeling “downgraded” throughout the stay (the mistake would have deserved an upgrade, at least for the stay on Zanzibar). We paid for services we did not receive. The program and the original contract were not respected. Aude V2025-02-26Verified Safari incroyable Thanks to Caroline our travel planer we went through the kimgoni agency for the safari part.It was amazing.
