A safari that turned out to be a blast
If it’d be possible I’d give 10 stars.
Our private safari with Kihindo was incredible. It’s not a cheap affair but if you’d like to get the best out of the Tanzanian wildlife, there is no other way (in my humble opinion). If you can afford it, just go for it.
Joint safaris are a completely different story.
We did participate in both kinds and hence my comparison.
However I suppose even with a private one you have to have a good luck to experience it to the fullest.
We luckily had it.
Winnie was the coordinator of our trip and exchange with her (on email and later on WhatsApp a few weeks before our trip) was quick and efficient.
5 nights in 2 different lodges have been booked for us. Mloka Lodge and Bastian where Mloka is our favourite. With such a great human touch we haven’t been greeted anywhere during our journey.
We decided to go for 6 days safari during which we aimed to visit two parks in the South: Nyerere and Mikumi. Both of them are great places to spot a lot of animals. But a good guide is the key.
Many amazing, touching moments we experienced during the safari happened because of our guide: Michael. All credits go for him.
We cannot thank him enough for his great efforts to please us spotting that many animals. But he was doing this in a very respectful way (no chasing after animals at all costs or scaring them; not at all!).
He was giving us all the time we needed to contemplate those out of this world creatures, landscapes and spectacles that were going on in front of us.
His passion, enthusiasm and great interest for his native wildlife is not only palpable, but also contiguous.
His broad knowledge about many environmental aspects is enormous.
We learnt from him more than from numerous books about Tanzania we read before our trip.
Every evening (except for one) we were dining together exchanging our experiences we had that day. It was also a great opportunity to discuss much more in detail the animals, their habitats, behaviours, rituals…etc.
We were speaking about way more topics than the native wildlife. We exchanged on our local customs and aspects of our lives: in Poland, Tanzania, Ireland, Germany. We found many common things.
We spoke about so many different topics: political, social, environmental, sustainable, historical, cultural… to name just a few.
Michael is a very special guide.
You would be lucky to have him as yours at your side.
Thanks Michael for everything and good luck in all your future endeavours!
Excellent communication, organisation and guides.
I can throughly recommend Kihindo Tours for a safari in southern Tanzania. My guides were hardworking, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I travelled solo and always felt safe. Loved the great wildlife viewing. Visited Ruaha and Mikumi National Park -5 day trip. I was limited on time but probably would have done an extra day in Ruaha. There is a lot of traveling on this trip which was clearly stated in the detailed itinerary that I received upon booking. Accommodation was clean, comfortable but simple. Due to the busy days I didn’t spend much time in the accommodation. I very much enjoyed my time on this trip.
Very kind and attentive to our needs.
All around an amazing experience. We didn't think we'd get to see so many animals. To our surprise we saw zebras, impalas, lions, hippos, crocodiles, wildebeast... etc and very up close to. The staff were very attentive to our needs and adapted their schedule to accommodate us. The tour guide gave us a lot information about the animals, cracked jokes with us and made the trip both knowledgeable and enjoyable. The price of the Safari was cheap compared to other big parks and the experience was unforgettable. We highly recommend booking this trip with Kihindo Tours, none of this would've been possible without Winnies help, who was available at all times to make this dream come true. Thank you !!!!!
Perfectly organized Safari
Our safari in Mikumi National Park was incredible! From the perfectly organized transfer from Dar es Salaam to the friendly, professional team, every detail was handled flawlessly. The safari itself exceeded all expectations—we saw elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, monkeys, crocodiles, and more! Our guide's knowledge made the experience even richer. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking an unforgettable wildlife adventure in Tanzania.
polite, caring, friendly and knowledgeable.
Everything was great from the first moment we reached you to the last moment the tour ended. It was an incredibly caring, young and energetic team. Thank you to each and every one of you, Winnie, Peter and Danford. The hotel we stayed in, the activities, and the transfers all went better than we planned. All our fears were unfounded. Good thing kihindo♥️
