The BEST Safari Experience!
We had a great experience with Kihnido tours. It was so easy to book with them, they were very responsive through email and prompt/efficient on the pickup. The price was also very fair for the amount of travel/food/drink/accomodation/attentiveness and working hours the guide & staff puts in.
We had Michael as our guide, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better one! He was the amazing in every way. He was so attentive to our needs, incredibly friendly, funny and massively knowledgeable about all of the wildlife. He went above and beyond to make sure we seen every animal we wanted to see, told us so much information about everything we seen and we had the best safari trip with him. We also learnt so much from him about the Tanzanian life/people whilst on the drive to & from the park, which was so interesting. You can really see he loves his job and meeting new people, which makes it so special for us tourists. Thank you so much again Michael!
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!
Trains + Lions + Local Culture = Dream fulfilled!
This trip was the perfect fit for the limited time we had (2 days) on the Tanzanian mainland. The newly electrified railway from the Dar es Salaam to the new capital Dodoma is up to US/EU standards - clean, comfortable, and well-serviced (no power outlets, but complementary water and snacks). The view is gorgeous (if you don't fall asleep - the ride is quite smooth). Definitely a worthwhile experience for a train-lover.
Our guide in the park was knowledgable and friendly. Mikumi National Park has a great density of animals -- we saw two prides of lions, dozens of giraffe, hundreds of Zebra and wildebeest, plus hippos, elephants, kudu, eland, warthogs, a crocodile, and a monitor lizard. You won't see rhinos (extinct in Tanzania), cheetahs (going to Serengeti for that), or leopards (rare), but all the other big famous wildlife are present. Great picture taking opportunities. The big advantage of booking a private safari is that you can decide how long to stay at a given spot (for instance, if this is your favorite animal) and can choose how long to stay in the park. In spite of our jetlag, we choose to spend nearly the entire day until sunset in the park, because the wildlife was so good.
The nature walk and the visit to the Maasai village were also worthwhile. Though socially conscious travelers may feel uncomfortable taking part in the commodification of Maasai culture, particularly when you are encouraged to put on Maasai clothing yourselves and join in the dances, the villagers are clearly consenting to your visit and are paid (the visit only takes up 30-60 minutes anyway and does not seem particularly disruptive). The tour guide for the nature walk was himself a Maasai who grew up in the city and received a higher education -- he gave us a valuable perspective on the Maasai and Tanzania overall.
The Kihindo Tours office staff were helpful and communicative throughout our booking a visit. They helped up find a hotel last minute and contact the manager, since we had forgotten to book something for the night after the tour. On the whole, this was a terrific company to work with.
Perfect safari!
We took the safari by internet and immediately we had the message to explain exactly all the safari. All the transport were in time and very comfortable. They gives us all the ways to pay and they make us easy all the documents that we need to do the trip. The safari with salonike and Jackson was amazing!! They do all theirs effort to have the best photos and experiences in our safari . Thank you so much again for your patience teaching us the behaviours of the animals.
The place were we stayed was really comfortable and people was kindness.
Thank you kihindo tours to give us one of the best experience In our live.
With no doubt , the best purchase in mi life.
Welcoming and relaxed with a lot of knowledge.
For a three day tour it was the perfect choice from Dar, with really good vakue for the money. We especially enjoyed that we had three different safaris (by boat, car and foot) and the cosy resort (silent and genuine) with friendly and helpful staff!
