Welcome to the East Africa of your dreams!

A Kiliwarrior safari and trek is like no other - the ultimate expression of the exclusive safari at no inflated costs!

We are a Tanzanian company. Our owners were born in Africa.  You communicate directly with the owners - not with inexperienced booking agents!

We are proud members of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO).

The Serengeti, May 2006. Copyright © Carol Schoeman

In the 25 000 km˛ Serengeti-Mara ecosystem of Tanzania and Kenya, nearly a million zebra and wildebeest are on the move. Herds of animals stretch as far as the eye can see.  In anticipation,  crocodiles cruise the rivers. Lion and hyena prowl the long grasses. Cheetah and leopard keep a watchful eye. Above, vultures soar.

In anticipation of the arrival of the big herds, Kiliwarriors Expeditions is putting the finishing touches on its private mobile tented camp before the arrival of a small group of international clients.  Fine bed sheets are carefully folded and tucked, bathroom vanities are checked and stocked with eco-friendly local products, the dining room is decorated with fresh flowers and romantic candles, and canvas chairs are placed in a semi-circle next to the camp fire.  One of the waiters opens a bottle of an award-winning South African red wine. The chef is putting fresh bread dough in his simple bush oven.

Under a majestic Acacia tree, a Maasai naturalist guide has stocked the fridge of his custom-designed Safari-Cruiser with bottled water.  He raises the pop-top roof, places a wildlife book in the seat pockets and checks the long-range radio. The drive to the airstrip will take only 40 minutes, but there is a big pride of lions nearby and his clients will be thrilled!

It is the start of another extraordinary safari.

Exclusively Kiliwarrior Expeditions!

Our specialty is the Wildebeest Migration, the Gorillas and the Chimpanzees of East Africa!

Using primarily romantic "under canvas" camps, we follow the migrating herds (marked in yellow on the map) from the vast plains of the southern Serengeti to the dangerous waters of the Mara River,   and back.

Kiliwarrior Expeditions is a specialist safari and trekking outfitter based in East Africa.  We work only with the most exclusive safari camps & lodges, and we custom-design each safari to deliver perfect safari experiences in Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.

Our esteemed global clients expect nothing but the best; we deliver the best by fusing

authentic cultural interactions - coordinated by our Maasai business partners and guides,

compelling itineraries - every safari crafted by Eben Schoeman,

bullet

highly-trained naturalist driver/guides - hand-picked by Eben and known world-wide for their game-spotting skills and local knowledge,

bullet

special safari vehicles - customized to be the ultimate game-viewing platforms,

and intimate lodging in secluded corners of the greatest wildlife areas in Africa - the secret to the enduring appeal of an African safari is returning to camp at sundown to silver service by candlelight and the riveting sounds of the bush. 

We offer three classes of safaris for different budgets.

We are an upscale safari outfitter who, much like Mercedes Benz in the auto industry with their entry-level C-Class vehicles,  also offer a few entry-level (Gold style) safaris in addition to our highly exclusive products (Platinum & Diamond style). 

All three classes offer the same exceptional Kiliwarrior service and quality - but Gold safaris have lower price levels thanks mostly to alternative accommodation choices.

Platinum Safaris - These are all about exceptional guiding. Custom-designed private safaris operating away from the beaten track using private mobile tented camps in secluded areas and with mostly private chartered plane travel between parks. You will be accompanied by a world-renowned independent guide for the duration of your safari. Our hand-picked guides are born and bred in Africa and are excellent naturalists and well-traveled hosts. They are the heavy-hitters on the African safari scene and the leaders in their profession with resumes that include leading safaris to parks all over Africa with their fortunate clients. Their daily rates reflect their expertise but you get what you pay for and more. If there was a top-20 ranking for East Africa our guides would be competing for the number one position! Your safari will be personally crafted by Eben AND your guide (who will meet and host you upon arrival in Africa). Our guides normally have their own mobile camping crews, vehicles and equipment, but our highly specialized open-sided Kiliwarrior safari Cruisers are also available. Expect to pay  more than $1000 per person a day for the very best safari experience. Contact us today to design your exclusive Platinum Safari.

Diamond Safaris - These are all about visiting the best parks and staying in the best accommodations. You will follow the more popular safari routes while staying at the very best available lodges & camps. Your camps may be private or shared but always romantic and intimate (with fewer than 8 tents in most cases). Your guides may not be as well-known or well-traveled as our Platinum guides but they are up-and-coming and tomorrow's leaders. On these safaris you travel mostly by bush plane between your lodges & camps, with Kiliwarrior open-sided safari Cruisers available where applicable. You lodging choices include the best-known and most talked about upscale names in the industry - Crater Lodge, Singita Grumeti, Gorilla Forest Camp, Mara Explorer, Joy's Camp, Greystoke Camp, Mnemba Island and Manda Bay. We are proud to say that 75% of Kiliwarrior safari bookings are in Diamond style.  Expect to pay upwards of $700 per person per day.  Contact us today to design your private Diamond Safari, or select a Diamond Group safari from our monthly departures.

Gold Safaris - These are all about visiting the best parks and giving up on some luxuries in order to stay longer! Incredible entry-level Kiliwarrior safaris for clients who do not want to compromise their expectations for a worry-free safari. You will follow popular safari routes while staying at very good and often underrated lodges & camps. You may not have an outdoor bath-tub or a separate sitting area in your room, but it will still be located in the best areas for wildlife viewing.  Your guides may not be as well-known or well-traveled as our Platinum guides but they are highly sought after. On these safaris you travel mostly by road between your lodges & camps with extended modified Landcruisers. You lodging choices include camps & lodges such as Z-hotel, Lemala Camps, Serena/Sopa Lodges, Selous Impala Camp and Mara Intrepids. Expect to pay upwards of $400 per person per day. Contact us today to design your private Gold Safari, or select a Gold Group safari from our monthly departures.

We operate private safaris to all the parks in East Africa. If you do not know where to go, please study our scheduled monthly departures to get an idea of the best parks for each particular month.
