It was really disappointing and unprofessional to treat customers like this.

We had booked Kil, Serengeti Green Miles Adventure for a day trip the Arusha city tour, and everything seemed fine at first. However, the operator later told us the tour had to be canceled due to some political issues. They promised to return our payment after the election, so we trusted him and waited. Unfortunately, after a few days, he started ignoring our messages and calls. We were excited to explore Arusha, but instead ended up losing both time and money. I would strongly advise others to be careful and only book with trustworthy agencies that keep their word and communicate honestly.

Our full day experience was heart touching.

We felt Arusha is the heartbeat of Tanzania, a full-day tour is the way to go. We started with the central market, and wow-so many colors, smells, and sounds all at once. I picked up a few handmade souvenirs that I’ll treasure. We also walked past local schools and churches, and it was refreshing to see how community-oriented the city is. Later, we drove to some scenic spots with views of Mount Meru. Lunch was delicious and filling, served with warm hospitality. All arrangements by Kil, Serengeti Adventure very well, Asante Sana 🙏 By the end of the day, we felt like we were connected with the city, not just passed through.

It was our short & simple trip, but we felt very relaxed, and real.

We had such a good day visiting Arusha City and Arusha National Park. Our guide Felix provided his best service and explained many important information. The city itself was lively and full of energy-markets, little shops, and friendly people everywhere. It felt nice just walking around and seeing the daily life there. We always catch a glimpse of Mount Meru in the background, which makes the whole place look even more beautiful. The highlight of our trip though was Arusha National Park. It’s not as crowded as some of the bigger parks, but that’s what made it special. we saw wildlife up close and the scenery was just wow. The view of Mount Meru from inside the park is something I’ll never forget. It was an excellent trip,

we recommend the city tour to anyone visiting Tanzania.

Abdul was our tour guide, he shared so many interesting insights about the history and tribes in the area. The full-day city tour in Arusha is a must for wanting to experience more than just safaris. The local Tanzanian food was delicious, hearty and flavorful. We felt like we had connected with the spirit of the city. The day ended too soon, but the experience was memorable. Thanks Kil, Serengeti Adventure.

This is my short trip but experienced huge

My full day in Arusha was packed with discoveries. The first stop was the Maasai Market, where I enjoyed bargaining for crafts-it was fun and friendly with my local tour partner Kil, Serengeti Green Miles Adventure. My tour guide Felix he was superb, he explaining everything about city's. The city tour also included a visit to the clock tower and the Cultural Heritage Centre, which had fascinating art and cultural displays. What I appreciated most was how diverse the city felt, you see traditional Maasai in their attire alongside bustling urban life. My ended the day sipping coffee with Mount Meru in the backdrop. It was a mix of culture, history, and relaxation for me. It was perfect introduction to Tanzania.
