Simply amazing!
We booked to go to mikumi national park by sgr train from dar es salaam. The communication from start to finish was excellent, we were a family of 2 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 7, the staff at Kihindo tours treated us like family from the initial booking until the end of the trip. Our guide and driver was superb and made us all feel so comfortable and welcome, nothing was too much for them. We had a great time seeing the animals in the park but also spending time with local Tanzanians who happened to be the tour company colleagues. Thank you to Winnie, Isiah, Abdul, Saloneke and Jackson!

Mikumi & Udzungwa
From first contact to the the last day, this has been a very smooth experience. The safari started in Dar; drive to Mikumi, then Udzungwa, then back at Mikumi for two more days of game drives (total 4 nights), before going back to Dar and the Zanzibar ferry. Winnie's has been incredible in her prompt and communication, and in coordinating and tailoring the itinerary, even accommodating some very last minute changes with ease. The guide/driver team (John & Saloniki) and the transfer driver (Isaya) in the field have been similarly keen and a pleasure to be around! Genuinely, an excellent trip and team all around. Would highly recommend!

Incredible experience
Absolutely amazing experience over the past few days with Kapande who was the perfect guide. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, even zebra! He was very respectful to the animals space and was safe. Amazing value for money, book this safari - you won’t regret it!

Short: do it! It’s worth the money!

Our recent safari adventure in Mikumi National Park exceeded our expectations in most ways. Our expert guide, Mike, demonstrated exceptional skills in navigating through the park and locating numerous animal sightings. His extensive knowledge about each species and their ecosystem contributed significantly to the overall enriching experience.
Mike ensured we had ample opportunities to observe these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. Moreover, his keen eye spotted even the most well-camouflaged inhabitants of the park, providing us with once-in-a-lifetime encounters.
Throughout the entire expedition, I felt confident knowing that every detail had been meticulously handled by Winnie, who managed our bookings professionally and maintained excellent communication throughout the process. Her commitment to ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience reflected her dedication to maintaining high standards of service tailored specifically to customers' needs.
Our accommodation, Mikumi Resort, was simple but overall nice. Exactly what you would expect from the budget choice.
Overall, I cannot recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris enough for anyone seeking a truly memorable and educational safari experience. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for visitors made this three-day excursion absolutely extraordinary. Thank you, Winnie and Mike, for creating such an unforgettable adventure!

Super friendly and everything perfectly organized!
We did a 1-day safari to Mikumi from Dar getting there with the new SGR train connection, which already was very nice.
Everybody, from the people transporting us back and forth to the actual tour guides, was very friendly and passionate about what they do!
On the Safari we saw everything one could wish for, from pumbas to elephants to hippos and zebras, and the tour guides even put in extra effort so we could see a lion!
All in all amazing.

It was brilliant. Winnie was amazing at coordinating everything that we were looking for.
It was absolutely excellent. William the guide was excellent and he was attentive to looking for animals while in park. The accommodation in Camp Bastian was phenomenal. We felt very well taken care of.

The safari and tours were brilliant, we saw so much in the park, including 4 of the Big 5. Our guide William was fantastic, extremely knowledgable, reliable and competent. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time. There were 8 of us on the Tour and we had an absolute blast.

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!

Very professional, excellent value for money.
All the arrangements went very smoothly. We have exchanged emails and always got quick and clear response. Winnie from Kihindo was very helpful, even outside the scope of our arrangement (eg helped us book a hotel in Mang’ula after the safari). I think it is very good value for money. For instance in Nyerere NP we stayed at Mloka Village lodge suggested by Winnie and it turned out a really nice place within the budget range. Kihindo is very reliable and efficient. As to the tour: we chose Nyerere and Mikumi and we really liked the first one, even though it is covered by bush and animals are less exposed than on a savanna. But you are not in a motorcade of safari vehicles and can enjoy the park in peace. The bushwalk in Nyerere (organized by the park) is focused on tribal medicine and customs whereas I would prefer it to be centered around wildlife observation. The boat trip on Rufiji river is great. In Mikumi (which was our specific request) it’s more easy to spot animals but I had the impression that there is a growing tourism pressure on the park (including expansion of the airstrip). If I were to choose between the two, I would opt for Nyerere. Anyway, the remarks on Mikumi do not relate to Kihindo services which I rate very high and excellent value for money.
