Unforgettable Safari and Hike Experience with an Amazing Team!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a safari in Mikumi National Park and a hike to Sanje Falls in Udzungwa Mountain National Park with Kihindo Tours and Safaris, and it was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the team went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing time.
Saloniki, our guide, was outstanding, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly passionate about the wildlife and landscapes. The drivers, Jackson and Juhudi, were equally exceptional. Their professionalism, and genuine care made the entire journey smooth, safe, and enjoyable.
The safari itself was breathtaking. The wildlife sightings were incredible, thanks to the team’s expertise in navigating the park and spotting animals, especially the Lions. The hike to Sanje Falls was equally magical, with stunning views and a serene atmosphere that made the effort well worth it.
I can’t thank Kihindo Tours and Safaris enough for their dedication to creating such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an adventure in Tanzania. You be in the best hands!

An excellent-organized 3 days tour at Mikumi park for a great safari
The overall experience was just awesome. Kihindo tours organised everything from the very beginning until the end of our tour. Mikumi park was also great, we saw all of the possible animals (elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, buffaloes, impalas, etc) and all of them very close to us. I have no negatives to add. The only thing I would avoid next time would be the maasai village which is very touristic. All in all, I truly recommend Kihindo Tours.
P.s.1: Thanks Isaiah for the nice transfer to Mikumi park and all the interesting information he gave us.
P.s.2: Thanks Danford the Legolas of the safari for the nice game driving. He could see animals within 5kms and get you there in a few minutes.

good value and reliable
An unforgettable safari experience with Kihondo Safaris!
Our 3-day budget safari in Mikumi National Park was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, Kihondo Safaris made a great impression. Our guide, Michael, was incredibly friendly, approachable, and truly an expert in his field. He not only guided us professionally through the park, but also shared in-depth knowledge about Tanzania’s culture and society. By the end of our safari, we felt like we had gained a much deeper understanding of not just the wilderness, but the country itself.
One of the standout aspects was the flexibility and excellent service from Kihondo Safaris. We were able to book additional services, like train tickets, spontaneously and without extra charge. This made our trip even more enjoyable. Because of this great experience, we ended up booking an additional trip to the Udzungwa Mountains, which also went smoothly.
Overall, the entire trip was exceptionally well-organized, and we could rely on their service every step of the way. For the price, it was an incredible experience – from the safari to the additional excursions. I can highly recommend Kihondo Safaris and will certainly travel with them again.
Thank you for this unforgettable experience, Kihondo Safaris!

Fantastic experience, thanks above all to our guide Saloniki and our driver Jackson. They were always available and attentive to our needs.
We saw many lions, elephants and many other animals.
The organization of the 3 days was perfect and precise and we always received assistance.

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!

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.

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!
