Reviews of Kihindo Tours and Safaris

Kihindo Tours & Safaris exceeded all expectations! We had the most amazing experience.

Booking a safari with Kihindo Tours & Safaris is the best decision we have made. From all the help and advice we got from Winnie when planning, till the actual safari with the best guide possible, Isaya, we had an amazing experience. We unfortunately didn’t have as much time in Tanzania as we would have wished, but Winnie took the time to plan everything with us, so we could get the most out of our time. She even came to welcome us at the airport and followed up several times during the safari. Kihindo Tours & Safaris wouldn’t be the same without her! The safari was amazing - we saw so many animals and also came quite close to them. But Isaya made sure to do it with respect for the animals and also knew when to stay away. He taught us a lot about the wildlife, had great knowledge, and answered all the questions we had. He was very polite and also had great humour. We laughed a lot, which made the trip even more memorable. Staying at Camp Bastian was a bonus. Also here we were met by friendly people, the area was beautiful, the food very good, everything was clean and our family room spacious. We can only recommend Kihindo Tours & Safaris to everyone who wants to experience the beauty of Tanzania, and we already dream about going back, with more time on hand.

Incredible

It was incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We saw numerous families of animals, and our guide gave us information about each one. The service was magnificent, and everything we saw was incredible. 100% recommended. I'd love to repeat the experience. (automatic translation from Spanish)

Simvani gave us AMAZING experience!!!!!

We had an absolutely incredible 2-day safari! Our guide was so kind and made us feel safe throughout the entire trip. Thanks to their amazing intuition and sense of timing, we were able to see all the animals we hoped for. We were even lucky enough to witness a rare scene—a lion eating its prey! The guide's English was excellent, and they shared so much detailed knowledge with us. It was a truly unforgettable experience, and we are so happy with the memories we made. Highly recommended!

Affordable, intimate, personalized safari experience

I did the 3 day Nyerere tour with Kihindo and it was more than I could’ve dreamed! I was looking for a private tour that was also budget friendly and fit into a smaller time frame .. this tour was that and more. From the planning with Winnie to our amazing guide Michael (we love you guys!) and trainee, it could not have been a more personalized amazing experience. Winnie even helped me plan a birthday surprise. Michael was super accommodating any time we wanted to stop on the drive and answer the millions of questions we had at all points. The accommodation provided was SO incredible, the food was great and the employees were so sweet. On the safari itself we saw ALL the animals wanted (zebras, elephants, giraffes, hippos). Michael even made sure we saw the lions which are never a given to see! We also had the pleasure of doing a boat tour and saw hippos and got to visit a Masaai village before heading back to Dar es salaam. This was such a special trip and I wish I could thank you guys a million times

Amazing 3 days Safari with our fantastic guide William

We did a 3 days private safari to Nierere Park with William. Everything was very well organised by kihindo Tours and Safaris (for instance transport and accomodation, Mloka lodge). Safari was fantastic, we saw so many animals, thanks to our incredible guide (William). He’s been always kind, available for any question and to explain us animals, plants, traditions of Tanzania. Personally speaking, one of the most beautiful experience in life!

Great safari

An absolutely unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish: seamless communication, a warm welcome, and impeccable logistics. The guides were passionate and very attentive, making the safari both informative and fascinating. We had the chance to observe a wide variety of animals in ideal conditions. The accommodations were comfortable, the food excellent, and the atmosphere magical. We highly recommend this safari to experience the beauty of Tanzania in complete serenity.

I have no words to describe this life changing experience. Danford is the best guide ever.

This safari surpass all my high expectations. This is my first safari and I hope I can do more in the future. This is a life changing experience! Danford was my guide and he is so patient and always tried to get us very close to the animals. We were able to see lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes very close. Adding to that, Danford explained a lot about the animals how to differentiate females from males, how they live and much more. I would highly recommend this tour specially Danford he is amazing. This experience wouldn’t be so nice without him. He made all the difference. I am so grateful of living this experience.

A professional and reliable company that ensures a memorable trip

I took the one-day safari to Mikumi. The team at Kihindo was extremely professional and friendly, ensuring you are well looked after and that your visit is memorable. My trip ran very smoothly and could always count on someone to get information. I believe the package offers good value for money. I actually had the whole car to myself and Jackson my guide ensured I ticked all the sight seeing list. Thank you!

Very friendly and welcoming. Always in a good mood.

We had a wonderful time with kihindo safaris. The 5 days in Nyerere and Mikumi National Park were interesting and we saw plenty of animals even lions and leopards. I would always recommend kihindo tours.

Lars

Very knowledgeable and professional with a real interest in the safari. Owen and Danford

The safari was very nice and the value for money was the best out of the multiple safaris I’ve been on. The guides were really reliable and knowledgeable about all the different species we saw on the safari. The service on the safari was also amazing with food being great and everything being taken care of.

Matteo

The operator was amazing and super nice and explained really well

It was very nice we saw a lot of different animals from a very close angle plus they explained us features about these animals

Albert

Really professional and caring before/during and after the service!

Our experience has been fantastic with Kihindo Tours. I was exchanging emails with Winnie for quite a while, and she was very patient, answering all my queries clearly and really fast, providing different options to match what we wanted, and being accommodating. We were picked up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam by Winnie and Michael (our guide) promptly (they actually got there earlier than expected!), and after finalising payment and dropping Winnie at the offices, Michael started driving us to the camp where we'd be staying. He was very chatty, there were lots of water in the car and we stopped a couple of times for lunch, a break, etc. It is a bit of a long drive to Mikumi, but well worth it. A few kms before arriving to the camp, we started seeing animals (giraffes, zebras, impalas...) and Michael very kindly stopped so we could start taking pics. The accommodation was great. We had a nice bungalow, with the basics. It was really charming and all we could hear was birds and insects. It was lovely. food in the camp was very nice (buffet). the safari - Amazing .Michael was great, really knowledgeable and explaining lots of things. He made the whole thing really interesting, easy and really cool! We were very aware that it's a safari so maybe we wouldn't be able to see some animals (sadly we didn't spot leopards), but it was amazing. Our first day we saw elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, impalas, crocodiles, monitor lizards, hippos, wilderbeests, storks...and other animals and birds I can't remember haha . We also did a walking tour of the nearby waterfalls. It was great view and really quiet, as it was low season, so we had the waterfalls just for us to swim All in all, we believe it's great value for money, they were extremely reliable, helping us with all the queries we had before/during/after the safari...Would absolutely recommend. We even met Mr Kihindo, who is a very nice young man!!!

Carlos

Amazing organisation and contact throughout the process. Felt like I was in good hands.

Winnie’s communication throughout was exceptional. I cannot compliment her more because she really made sure everything was done properly. There was never a question unanswered and everything was organised perfectly with no problems. We felt safe and comfortable at all times and well looked after. Thank you so much for a once in a lifetime safari that we will remember forever! I would give 10 stars if I could :)

Everything was perfect!

My boyfriend and I went on Safari in Mikumi National park from February 16th to February 18th. Everything was perfect from the train ride from Dar Es Salaam, the drive to Mikumi, accommodation and of course the game drive. From the time we booked our trip we had dialog with Winnie, who made sure we were well prepared for our trip ahead. She sent ut so much information about what to pack and expect on our trip. We also had dialog with her during our trip, which made everything feel so safe and she was always available to answer any question and help us if needed. We were lucky to get to know Michael who drove us from the strain station to Mikumi, and back again. He was such a nice guy, who taught us a lot about the national park and answered any question we would have. Our game driver Jackson was also super nice, and he made sure we got to experience and see as much as possible during our drive. We felt well taken care of during our trip, and we would definitely book with them again. Everything felt super personal, and the service was exceptional. Thank you for giving us an experience of a lifetime!

3 day private safari in Nyerere NP

Communication with the company was swift and precise. We discussed several options and the agreed one was fulfilled as per agreement. I chose the program with boat ride on Rugiji river and the bush walking. Both were unique experiences. My guide Abel was a nice, laid back guy, who looked over my needs and preferences during the safari. I'm satisfied with the overall experience, and recommend Kihindo Tours to others who like to take part in a fun safari tour.
