Wings Over Tanzania

The brochure itinerary is not very good.  Due to high grasses and scattered wildlife we prefer to not  visit Tarangire from January to June.  From July to December the Kusini Camp is not in the best location and game drives will be very long and tiring.

We believe it is too cold to camp on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. It can be foggy and rainy. In addition, only one or two camp sites have views into the crater and you may not be at the best camp sites. The fireplaces and romantic rooms of the Crater Lodge are much preferred than damp tents!

We will custom-design a safari depending on your month of travel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I pay with a credit card? Yes, we gladly accept American Express, Mastercard, Visa and Discover Card. The price we quote is the price you pay - cash or credit!

2. Are there hidden costs? No! You must pay for drinks and laundry in a few places as indicated, tips to driver/guides and personal items. That's it!

3. How can this be? Saving $1400 per person is simply unbelievable. Is there a catch? No, it is very simple actually. The Kiliwarriors is a local outfitter in Tanzania. We do not own fancy international offices, we do not print expensive brochures and we do not advertise in glossy travel magazines.   Therefore we have no reason to add 150% profits to our safaris.

4. Do you include a tour director that accompanies the safari? No, because there is no need to! Big groups in tourist lodges and vehicle convoys require coordination and management. You are not traveling in a group!  Our Operations Manager in Arusha personally monitors each safari and will resolve issues if needed via phone. We use luxurious camps/lodges with highly trained staff to handle emergencies. Your experienced driver/guides have seen just about everything and are well equipped and  trained to assist with issues. And you have one less person to tip!

5. Do you offer trip insurance? Yes, we partnered with the highly-respected Travelex insurance company.  We made the whole process very simple! Read more

6. I enjoy the company of others. Group tours are attractive to me because my husband will drive me crazy after 16 days. I like to meet people and make new friends. Will we enjoy your private safari?  Sharing a cramped safari vehicle with 4-6 others can be tiring. This is an expensive safari that can be ruined by a single obnoxious person. Why take the chance? The Kiliwarrior upgrade offers the best of both worlds. You will meet different people every night in our camps and lodges, and on the days with shared game drives. Our camps attract clientele from around the world who knows how to travel well. Our upgrade offers a good mix of private game drives and shared drives. On a 16-day safari, the luxury of having a private vehicle for a few days is good therapy - and very convenient for pictures and filming!

A group on safari in the bush is different from a group on a tour of Italy! The roads are bad, the vehicles are small with no bathrooms (a real drag if one or more of 6 people have stomach problems so common in Africa), it is hot with biting insects and each individual wants to see different animals. If one person is an avid photographer with huge zoom lenses, then matters  can quickly escalate to a really unhappy situation.

7. How about your guides?  We follow a different and much better approach to guiding. With a few exceptions, you will be guided by guides who are based at the camps! They live and work at the camps for many months each year. They know the areas and the wildlife patterns in the vicinity of their camps MUCH better than a guide based in Arusha or Nairobi who drives in only occasionally! The upscale camps in our upgraded itinerary train their guides very well - we could argue that the guides our camps are some of the best trained in all of Kenya and Tanzania. Our clients agree!

8. Do we have an opportunity to contribute to a local charity?  Yes! Thank you for your concern! Please read about our support for the Maasai Joy Children's Center in Arusha!
