Reviews of Kihindo Tours and Safaris

Very well organised and reliable

My recent safari experience surpassed all expectations! From the moment we arrived, the sights and sounds of the African wilderness captivated us. Our guides led us on exhilarating game drives, where we witnessed lions, elephants, and more in their natural habitat. The lodge offered a comfortable retreat after thrilling days of exploration. This safari truly left me with memories to cherish forever.

Very friendly and professional

I did this safari with my wife and my daughter who’s 9 years old. We thank the whole staff who are true professional especially Michael our guide. All logistics worked flawlessly , (pick up, boat cruise, etc)and the lodges were superb including food. The way to Reserve from Dar es Salaam is about 4 hours with bad road but finally it was an amazing experience ! Maybe we had good fortune we have seen many animals and beautiful birds. It’s unforgettable ! We thank you again. Recommended

Incredible

Excellent service, very friendly guides, and the transport from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi was comfortable and fun with our guide Isaia, who was always attentive and kind to us. The hotel was very clean and the staff treated us very well. The only downside was that we had to pay for drinks at dinner, even though everything was supposed to be included. Other than that, everything was great.

Such an amazing experience with Kihindo Tours and Safari

From the start Kihindo Tours and Safari were very efficient with Winnie giving advice on what would be the best Safari option for time of year - Mikumi 3 day. Good collection from the airport and helpful navigating the area. Isaya was an excellent guide for the 3 days. Location and accommodation was great. Godfrey was a good driver for the Safari day. The company is amazing with the attention to detail and care. Would definitely recommend to anyone for transport and safaris. Thank you for an amazing experience

Dream come true

Asante sana! I booked a safari for my family (me, my wife and 2 adult sons) from Finland. Booking was easy and everything was as promised and all went very smoothly. We had a boat safari, one full day game drive and morning walk on the last day. Already on the boat safari we saw much more than expected. Our guide Abel was fantastic. During game drive we saw much more than expected. We definitely feel that we got the best safari experience we could have hoped for. Our accommodation was at Mloka Safari Lodge. Place was pleasant and service and food was great. Personally I appreciated cold beer after long days. If I am going to have another safari in Tanzania, I will get from Kihindo.

Esther Sánchez

The best local Safari Company

We choose Kihindo for a 2 days tour and 1 night to Mikumi, and it was amazing! First of all, if you choose Kihindo, you will be supporting a local company with no third parties. Second, best value for money! If you were thinking about of doing a Safari and don't want to spend 5000$ each, here you have an affordable option

Excellent safari experience

Our 3 day Safari in Nyerere Nationalpark was a breathtaking Experience we will never forget. The Communication with Winnie was so easy. If we had questions she answered them so quickly. Our Tourguide William is a very good driver und he knows a lot about the park and the animals. Our stay in Mloka lodge was so comfortable. The food was amazing. Kihindo Tours make dreams come true!

Vanessa Müller

The best tour organizer in Tanzania!

Kihindo safaris might be the best safari organizer in Tanzania. From the booking untill the last day, every thing was perfect. The tour guide’s (Godfrey and Wiliam) where very welcoming and kind. They knew a lot about the animals and the Tanzanian culture. They gave answer to all of our questions. I would really recommend Kihindo Tours and Safari!

It was a perfectly organized Safari experience with incredible driver, guides and backoffice.

We did 3-days Safari to Mikumi National Park travelling with Train from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro. Everything works perfect in time. Transfer to trainstation, train to Morogoro and the transfer to Nationalpark. Especially noteworthy are the drivers, Jackson the guide and Winnie. Great loveable people who make safari a great experience. We have seen giraffe, antilopes, lions, Gnus, Zebras, elephants, buffelos, Pumba;) and Monkeys. It was a great and almost surreal experience to see them in free nature. Its an absolutly recommendation!

Four Days, Two Parks, One Incredible Safari Adventure

We did a four-day safari visiting two national parks: Mikumi and Ruaha. Mikumi is beautiful, but Ruaha truly preserves the wild and authentic soul of Tanzania. Everything exceeded our expectations — from logistics to staff, from accommodation to the quality of the food. Parks were breathtaking, the car was safe and comfortable, and we always had plenty of cold water available. Staff & Organization The organization was impeccable — we always felt guided, safe, and supported. Winnie assisted us remotely before and throughout the trip: she was kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful in shaping the best itinerary for us. Michael, who picked us up in Morogoro, made our experience truly unforgettable — his presence, kindness, and deep connection with the land transformed the trip; without him, it simply wouldn’t have been the same. Israel, our guide in Mikumi, is warm and very experienced, with a genuine love for nature and wildlife. Danford, our driver in Ruaha, is a talent behind the wheel — passionate, sharp-eyed, and incredibly skilled at finding animals. He’s also a great person to talk to and share stories with. Accommodation All the places we stayed at were clean and welcoming, with excellent staff. The camp inside Ruaha may need some renovation, but it felt safe and offered a truly immersive experience. The final lodge, perched on a hill overlooking the park, was exceptional — newly built, peaceful, with stunning views of the sunset over the savannah. Program Overview The tour began in Dar es Salaam, where we were picked up early and brought to the train station for a 1.5-hour ride to Morogoro. There, Michael welcomed us with a spacious and comfortable 4x4, fully stocked with cold water. We headed to Mikumi National Park and met Israel, who guided us through our first safari where we spotted elephants, giraffes, and lions under a magnificent sunset. That night we stayed just outside the park in a cozy and stylish lodge. The next morning, we set off for Ruaha. Despite a delay due to a road incident, we arrived in time for an evening game drive with Danford — possibly the best driver we’ve ever had. Just 30 minutes in, we came across a group of eleven lions feeding on a giraffe — a powerful and emotional experience that brought us face to face with nature’s raw reality. That night, we slept in the heart of Ruaha. After the initial thrill of knowing we were surrounded by wildlife, we felt perfectly safe thanks to the on-site ranger. The next day started at dawn and was packed with sightings, including a leopard resting under a tree beside its fresh antelope prey. Ruaha’s vast herds of elephants and incredible biodiversity made it a true highlight of the trip. We spent the final night in a spectacular lodge with panoramic views over the park — the perfect place to reflect and enjoy one last African sunset before heading back the next day.

Perfect !

It was perfect Mussa explained everything to us about the animals, it was very interesting and the tour was great!! We were able to see lots of animals

Exceeded every possible expectation

From the moment we wanted to book the safari, the Kihindo team were very helpful answering all our questions and making us feel assured about the decision. They picked us up from Dar es Salaam airport and as we were running a little late to catch the train, they did everything possible to make sure we get on the train. Every member of staff was very friendly and helpful. But once we reached the actual safari it went to the other level. Our guide Saloniki created very comfortable environment and made sure we were on the same page, about what’s going to happen, from the beginning. As we read before that November isn’t the number one month to see all the animals, we had acknowledged that it may happen that we won’t be able to see all animals we would like. But Saloniki made that happen. He took us exactly to the animals we had wished to see for - lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos and all the antelopes, buffaloes. Throughout the safari he always did like we had asked and took our wishes into account. Once we arrived to our accommodation, the Camp Lilac, the staff welcomed us with arms wide open, singing and dancing to us. And the cabin is nice and the dinner is pretty romantic ;) In conclusion the Kihindo team have exceeded our expectations and made this trip incredible. The biggest value we’d say are the people we’ve met during the safari. Thank you Saloniki and all the Kihindo team for the effort! We would 100% all heartedly recommend everyone to book a safari with them.
