Reviews of Kihindo Tours and Safaris

Reliable, friendly, flexible

We booked our safari with Kihindo, and it was very smooth from the beginning. They always gave fast replies to all questions and all guides were super friendly. Because of the elections it was unstable in Tanzania at the moment of our planned safari, however it was easy to contact them and get all the changes we needed to be able to go to our safari anyways. No surprise costs, everything was exaktly as described, highly recommend!

No doubt we can recommend Kihindo Tours

We made an unforgetable trip which was well organized and performed from the start in Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi NP and to Udzungwa Mountains NP. Our guides Nuhu and Salonikis were always on time, answered all of our (many) questions with a lot of interesting details about all the animals, plants and the country and its residents. And both of them are such nice guys! If we ever do a safari again, it will hopefully with guides like Nuhu and Salonikis. Thanks again guys for making our first safari a memorable experience.

Excellent

We booked a 3-day safari with ferry and train to Mikumi from Zanzibar with Kihindo Tours, October 10-12, 2025. It was an unforgettable experience, everything was well organized - good communication (Winnie), guidance (Messy), and the guide (Jackson). Camp Lilac was fantastic, small in size. Luxury tent surrounded by nothing but nature, just like it must be in Africa. We had wonderful days with wonderful people around us (Denise, Maasai, etc.). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you also enjoy peace and quiet; we give it a 10 (no mass tourism in a large camp). A great game drive in Mikumi, saw a lot. TOP! Philip and Coby

Magical

Everything was perfect! Abil was very attentive and patient. We were lucky to see many animals up close and had plenty of time to observe them. The organization of these three days was excellent—we just had to let ourselves be guided! Our safari will be unforgettable thanks to Abil. Thank you for everything!

Wonderful experience at Mikumi National Park in rainy season with a professional guide

We have been before to several parks in Tanzania but this trip to Mikumi exceeded all our expectations. It was a wonderful experience and Isaya has been such a fantastic guide! We were in doubt if we should take a safari or not for only 3 days in the raining season. Our son of 12 years convinced us to take it and we are so glad we did it! Isaya was very prompt and clear in the communication before the safari, both on email and WhatsApp and we liked that very much. We drove from Dar on a rainy Saturday and the road was blocked because of two trucks that crushed on the road before Morogoro. Isaya was very clever in driving, very calm and in a good mood despite the chaos around and the long cue of trucks and busses blocked on the road, bringing us safely to Mikumi. Despite the short stay, we saw so many animals, and our son was thrilled to see baby lions baby elephants, baby giraffes and zebras. Isaya was very patient and waited for us to observe again and again families of elephants, giraffes and lions

Great tour, amazing staff and experience and top customer care

Amazing experience and can’t wait for my next safari. The entire trip was very well organised and communicated well from the team. The safari was beautiful! We managed to see all of the animals inc. lions, hippos, giraffes, zebras, buffalo and more. It was a great day. Our guide Saloniki was very knowledgable and friendly and made the experience even better. He answered all of our questions and looked after us well. Pick up and drop off were also very timely and organised which made the whole trip very easy with nothing to worry about. Will be telling my friends and would definitely go again. Great value for money.

The tour coordinator (Winnie) was very helpful and came across as a very professional person.

We planned this Safari tour with Kihindo Tours, 1 day Trip to Nyerere national Park for the family on 01st August 2023, booked from (UK). For Six of us, Myself, My wife, Son, Daughter-in-Law and Two Grand daughters.

We were very lucky on the day to see a Leopard, about 15 Lions including cubs, a family of Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras, Hippos, Crocodiles, Hyenas, Wild beasts, Spotted few Eagles, Various types of Monkeys to name the least. A day thoroughly enjoyed by the family, and Joseph made this safari a very memorable experience value for money well spent. I would recommend this tour.

Amazing experience!!

We did a 5 day tour in Gombe National Park and we just loved the experience. From the beginning, planning the trip was eaay and smooth thanks to Isaya, who adapted the tour to our needs and budget. Once in Gombe, Adolf was our guide and we were delighted, he knew the area very well and he took care of every little thing, always with a smile. Thanks to Kihindo Tours and Safaris, we got to watch chimpanzees and baboons, swim in the crystal clear waters of lake Tanganyka and experience life and culture of a beautiful but less known area of Tanzania. Ahsante sana!!

Perfect 3 day safari in Northern Tanzania

Kihindo Tours arranged for us the perfect trip to the Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and mount Meru. Everything was nicely arranged and the company made a very good price for us in combining the climb of the mountain and the safaris. We had our own private chef who gave us the best Tanzanian food. Overall we had a very lovely trip! The contact with Kihindo Tours is very easy and really fast!

Fantastic Safari!

We had a great safari with Godfrey and William! They guided us well through Mikumi National Park. We also received a lot of information about the animals. In addition, they were more involved compared to other supervisors. We ended up with fantastic photos thanks to Godfrey's skills. It was fantastic!

Mammamia! What an amazing tour!!!

We would like to thank Kihindo tours for making us live a beautiful, unforgettable experience. We highly recommend them for their support in everything from booking to the end of the experience. We thank Isaya for his kindness and professionalism as a tour guide. A person with whom you never get bored and always laugh, above all a very good driver. Thank you so much Winnie, for understanding our needs and your constant availability. If you want to go on a safari without any worries, choose Kihindo tours!

Fantastic safari

We had a fantastic 3 days safari with William as guide and driver. He was really good at spotting animals and he also knew where to drive and stop exactly near them. He is very professional and knows a lot about animals and can answer any questions. William is funny and open mind, speaks good English and knows when/how to give his customers personal space. He is respectful and punctual. Everything was great and we had some of unforgettable experience of our life. From the beginning to end of our safari experience communication with the company was smooth - Winnie is doing a great job. She was replying quickly and clearly. Thank you Kihindo Tours.

Great experience with Kihindo

We can definitely recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris! We went on a day trip to Mikumi from Morogoro and everything was perfectly organized. We unexpectedly had to move the trip by 2 weeks and Kihindo was very flexible in accommodating our request. We had a great game drive with our tour guides being very knowledgeable showing us lots of wonderful animals from lions to tiny birds. Communication was also very easy and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Lisa

Great safari day

A great safari experience. The organization was perfect from the beginning of the support until the end. The guide was super friendly and invested in finding the best animals. I recommend without hesitation.

Sarah

What an amazing day!

Our guide Saloniki picked us up before the agreed time to take us to Mikumi Park. After less than a quarter of an hour, we were lucky enough to see lions fighting with their muffles, next to the hippos. A stunning spectacle! Very friendly and qualified, Saloniki was able to take us to magnificent places, where the show continued. A huge THANK YOU to him and to Kihindo Safari because this excursion was perfectly organized (including pick-up in Dar Es Salaam, overnight stay at Camp Bastian, meals, etc. etc. etc.)! Bravo 👏 (automatic translation from French)

Working man has nothing to worry about!

My first time in Africa and I spent close to 7 days there. The most incredible event was a Safari trip with our friend for life Isaya! His knowledge and easy going attitude made that trip unforgettable! Just love the energy and hard work he is putting in to make the tourists happy! The best tour to choose, most definitely!!!

Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable!

We had our first Safari at the end of May 2024. It was difficult to find who to trust to when we have something for the first time, however, since we started talking with Kihindo team, we felt ensured. We are glad to choose them at the end of the day. Winnie and William greeted us outside of the airport, and our adventure began. We enjoyed so much on every aspect and William -our tour guide- was super helpful with everything. He has really good knowledge about the animals, and he is excellent to spot them even in the most tricky conditions. He ensures the safety and is so respectful. We had an unexpected circumstance while in the middle of the safari day due to the road being blocked by roadworkers for a few hours, however, both William and Winnie managed to compensate our lost time with night safari. It was so much fun! Almost nobody stayed at the park at that time and we were able to spot a leopard! We recommend everyone to see Nyerere National Park with William! And also he was super helpful regarding communication with natives and when the car had problems on our way to Dar es selaam. We trusted Kihindo and enjoyed our holiday fully

They are very professional, calm and trustworthy.

I went to a safari with my mom in December. The experience was wonderful! Before booking, we were able to modify the initienary to fit on our needs and timetables. Everything happened in time and no extra waitings or confusing directions. What I liked the most was that you can see that the company and our guide truly respects the nature and animals. He knew what he was doing and never disturbed the animals and still was able to show us everything and more we wished to see. Michael is also great, respectful and intelligent company and we really enjoyed discussions with him! Asante!
