A Great Adventure
Everything starder on an internet forum and with a phone number...
The contact was easy (they speak french or english), the communication was simple and reactive.
After a couples of texts ans emails we agreed.
Everything was clear, they matched our wishes to our budget, and they were still available for our question after we signed the contract that was very nice !
We arrived late in arusha a driver took us to the agency for a little briefing,them we went to the hotel.
Next morning our driver NAHRUM who is great a his job by the way, always on time, nice guy, lots of knowledge, good driver and can see a lion at 200+ meters !

Philipo at Kimgoni Safaris heard what we wanted and organised the perfect safari for us.
Kimgoni.
What a special trip. We feel so fortunate to have booked our safari with Philippo and Kimgoni.
Holidays like this take months/years to plan. They’re expensive and, as a result, nerve racking. You just want to get it right and feel you are in safe hands. Fortunately, we were.
A few core things will make or break your safari; where you go, where you stay and your guide. Philippo nailed all three. Our trip was seamless. All the parks we were advised to visit were brilliant and varied, and the route we took worked smoothly. The accommodation options Philippo recommended were all excellent. We had the pleasure of staying in beautiful lodges in the Serengeti and on top of The ngorongoro crater as well as the beautifully chic and minimal ‘Manyara’s Secret’ to bookend our journey to and from the parks. This is highly recommended as an acclimatisation/rest post-flight and reintegration/rest post-safari!
The final piece, the guide, is undoubtedly the most important one. Thanks to Kimgoni/Philippo, we were incredibly fortunate to have Ayubu showing us around. Ayubu was the perfect balance of casual, friendly and professional, instantly making us all feel at ease. He’s a great driver - much needed when racing through a rainy Serengeti, or on the lookout for another Leopard! He seemed to know exactly where everything was - we were fortunate to see three leopards in one morning, as well as pretty much every other animal you’d want to see whilst on safari. Ayubu was a fountain of knowledge and educated us all on the animals and on everyday life in Tanzania. He also had a great sense of humour and helped us maintain good vibes and momentum.
Finally, we have to note that we had a few issues on our end with making our original booking work. Sadly, we had to postpone our trip. We were and are truly grateful to Philippo for helping us reschedule, making sure all the pieces stayed in place and that we didn’t lose out financially. This extra help and security was especially valuable.
All in all, we had a 10/10 experience with Kimgoni and will be recommending it to anyone who will listen.

great organisation, philippo and his team are top notch!
the staff was very attentive, special note to Amidou the French guide who took the time to explain everything to us during these 2 days
Phillippo the boss is present at the start of the safari, he comes in person to meet you and also at the end for a report.
I really recommend it!

Perfect safari, from A to Z
We looooved our experience with Kimgoni ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We chose this Tanzanian company rather than a tour operator and we were not disappointed at all !
The value for money is excellent for this French speaking company.
First, we really appreciated the exchanges for the organisation with Philipo who is very kind & reactive, and then the unforgettable 5 days of safari with the best guide : Sam !
More than a guide, we created a real friendship with Sam. Our safari would not has been the same without him. He is a young and dynamic guide, he's smart, expert, caring, interesting, excellent driver, and very funny. And as promised, he speaks very good French !
Again, a huge thank you for this trip which we will continue to think about every day ✨
And so, as we have done with our family and friends, we highly recommend to anyone who want to go on safari in Tanzania to book with Kimgoni company !

Exceptional, incredible, formidable
I really recommend this agency to organize your safari, the prices beat any competition, they are professional and attentive, the safari is totally private, the driver speaks your language, everything is taken care of! Our guide Emmanuel was amazing and super nice, he explained the different animals. I am more than happy to have collaborated with Kimgoni, a dream came true thanks to them! Thanks again! Luna & PA

Very good safari
Overall, a very good experience with this safari company.
The program was well designed, the landscapes were stunning, and our guide was very good, knowledgeable, professional, which really made the trip special.
That said, I would have appreciated more transparency on certain aspects, especially regarding the booking of internal flights. The flights were booked without consulting us, which resulted in a wasted day. We could have taken a later flight (at a similar price) and enjoyed more time in Zanzibar instead.
The Maasai village visit also felt very touristy. We felt quite pressured to stay, and when they suggested adding an extra hour of driving to visit the Safariland tourist shop, we had to insist and say no.
Despite these points, the experience was still very positive and I do recommend this company. My advice: don’t hesitate to clearly state your expectations and insist on getting what you want.

All the team is very welcoming, nice and helpful.
I planned my trip very long time ago and I asked thousands of questions to all the team. Each time, they have been very patient, and took the time to help me to take the best decisions and optimize my trip. They respected my budget, and I was quite impressed by the quality of hotels they booked.
Their drivers are really nice, and experienced, good drivers, peaceful and very knowledgable about animals, people and history of the country and tribes.
This is very useful, specially when a black mamba is coming to your car and you could have go out of it !
One deception concerned the fact that I couldn't hunt with the Hatzabe's despite of it was written in the contract. They just decided not to hunt this day. I would have prefer they mention "it might be possible to hunt with them" on the contract. This would have avoided my deception.
One not to good souvenir is the agency booked the plane ticket to go from Kilimandjaro airport to Zanzibar , but not the way back from Zanzibar to the Kilimandjaro airport. I still don't understand why and ask to myself how they thought we would go back to take our plane to go back to France. It was the last day , so it impacted our overall impression.
Despite of that, this trip will stay the best one I have ever had, and it was great to work with a human, local and welcoming agency such as Kimgoni, rather than TZ Specialist or Leopard Tours which are "big companies", much more not personal.
