Efficient, trustworthy, informative, helpful.
We used Kihindo for a round trip transfer from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi, and for a full-day safari in Mikumi National Parc in November 2024. The price was very good, the communication was efficient and precise, the driver was safe, helpful and very knowledgeable, and the safari experience was amazing. We can absolutely recommend Kihindo for tours and safaris.

Experience and kindness.
I spent three days and two night safari with this tour operator, they took us from our hotel in Dar and brought us directly to the lodge in Nyerere national park! They have been so nice to get any of our requests. William, our guide was amazing, answering every questions we had and fulfilled our every request!

It was a fantastic trip.
We have got an excellent driver, who pick up us at the hotel. In the Safari Lodge we had a very nice stay. The room was lovely and very clean. The staff gave us a very good service and the food was great.

The operator clearly cares about its customers and delivers memorable and effortles experiences.
Great experience! We were a group of three from Finland and visited Mikumi for a 1-night, 2-day safari at the beginning of December. Everything was well-organized and went smoothly, from communication and pickups to activities. The accommodation and food were of high quality. Price was very reasonble. We highly recommend Kihindo Tours & Safaris if you’re planning a safari!
Our safari guide - Michael was really good, he had amazing positive energy and was very knowledgeable about Mikumi and the animals there. He was very dedicated to making sure that we would get the most out of our experience in Mikumi, whether that was seeing as many of the animals there as possible or giving us tidbits of information about various things regarding the national park. We were very glad that he was our guide for this safari. On the 2nd day we went on a bushwalk with a local Maasai guide, where we learned more about the plants and birds of the area before visiting a Maasai tribe to learn more about their way of life. It was a very enjoyable experience.
The timing (beginning of December) was perfect, with slightly cloudy weather that wasn’t unbearably hot, and it wasn’t peak tourist season. Mikumi is a great choice if you’re planning a short safari, as the area is smaller compared to the Serengeti, making it possible to see a variety of animals in a short amount of time.
Thank you very much for this amazing experience!

Exellent service
Kihindo Tours and safaris were reliable and safe organisation for solo lady traveler. I felt safe and well looked after during whole time. My guide and driver were very good and they knew a lot of animals and their behavior, local nature and plants too. They both speak very good English, had good sense of humor and they were extremely polite and we had great time together during whole safari. Also all timetables, transportation's etc. were always in time. Thank you so much for unforgettable experience in Mikumi National Park. Bibi

Great Experience with Kihindo Tours and Safaris in Mikumi National Park
We had an absolutely wonderful experience during our Mikumi National Park safari, thanks to Michael, our exceptional guide and driver.
He picked us up at the hotel where we were staying in Dar es Salaam and made sure we got back in time for our ferry to Zanzibar. Driving to the park was a great way to travel, as it allowed us to see the countryside and rural life along the way.
Michael’s knowledge of the park, its wildlife, and the local ecosystem was truly impressive. He was patient and adjusted the pace of the tour to suit us, giving us plenty of time to take photographs and record videos of the animals. The park is rich in wildlife in every direction and is also home to a diverse range of birdlife. We were thrilled to spot three of the Big Five and plenty more animals.
We also learned a lot from Michael about Tanzania and its cultures, and we enjoyed sharing stories from life back home. We truly appreciated his company during our safari and became good friends over the course of our trip.
Winnie provided excellent support, answering all our questions promptly and ensuring the trip was well-planned. Her communication gave us confidence from start to finish.
The professionalism, warmth, and expertise demonstrated by both Michael and Winnie made this a standout trip that we would highly recommend. Whether it was spotting amazing wildlife, learning about the park's ecosystem, or simply enjoying the breathtaking landscapes, this safari exceeded our expectations.
Thank you, Michael and Winnie, for making this journey so special!

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari in Mikumi National Park with Kihindo Safari!
We just returned from the most incredible 3-day safari in Mikumi National Park, and it was nothing short of magical! Our guide, Michael, was truly outstanding – the heart and soul of this unforgettable experience. His knowledge of wildlife and the park’s ecosystem was unparalleled. He didn’t just show us the animals; he brought their stories to life with his insightful explanations and contagious enthusiasm.
Thanks to Michael’s expertise and keen eye, we had the rare privilege of spotting not only majestic elephants, graceful giraffes, zebras, and lions but also elusive leopards and jackals – a true highlight of the trip! He knew exactly where to go and how to time everything perfectly to ensure we experienced the park at its very best.
Michael’s ability to answer every question and share fascinating details made the safari even more enriching. Whether it was identifying birds, explaining the behavior of a lion pride, or describing how elephants interact with their environment, his passion and dedication were remarkable. We always felt safe, informed, and completely immersed in the beauty of the park.
We also want to extend a big thank you to Winnie, whose warmth and helpfulness made the booking process so smooth and stress-free. She was always accessible, making sure everything was perfectly organized.
This safari was a dream come true, and we owe it all to Michael and the team at Kihindo Safari.

Amazing!!
We went on a 4-day safari to Mikumi, and we couldn’t be more delighted with the experience. From the moment we got in touch with Winnie, she was incredibly responsive and helpful, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring everything was perfectly organized. She connected us with our guide, William, who picked us up at our apartment in Dar es Salaam and accompanied us throughout the weekend.
Our visit to the Maasai village was absolutely fascinating. Everyone we met there was so warm and welcoming, making the experience truly memorable. Over the next two days, we explored Mikumi National Park, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. We saw an incredible variety of animals and birds, and William shared a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, their behaviors, and the ecosystem.
What stood out the most was William’s knowledge and deep respect for the animals and their natural habitat, ensuring a responsible and enriching safari. Since the tour was private, we could ask as many questions as we wanted and customize the itinerary to suit our preferences, which made the trip even more special. William really made sure that we had the best experience.
When it was time to return to Dar es Salaam, William went above and beyond by helping us secure ferry tickets to Zanzibar and ensuring we reached the terminal safely. His thoughtfulness and professionalism truly made a difference.
I wholeheartedly recommend booking your safari with Kihindo Tours. They provide an exceptional and personalized safari experience at a very reasonable price. If I ever get the chance to go on safari again, I wouldn't want to book with any other company.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!
From the moment we connected with Winnie to plan the safari to the moment we were dropped at home everything was amazing. Winnie is so helpful and communicative. She picked us up with a wonderful driver (who we ended up seeing at the lodge a few days later) and took us right into the train station. Once we arrived in Morogoro we were met by Julius who drove us to Mikumi. Julius was awesome and personable. We had the best time talking with him on our two hour trip. Once in mikumi we met with our guide Danford. Danford was fun, kind and knowledgeable! He was so smart and taught us so much. He was patient and helpful with the kids and knew how to get us to the best viewing spots. He had many connections with other guides which helped us have the most amazing fulfilling experience! He was a wonderful driver and made everyone feel safe while keeping it very exciting. We always knew when he got a good call because we would all hold on tight and take off! He gave us so many incredible close encounters! We were sad to leave him. After Julius took us back to
Morogoro we met Winnie and a driver in Dar at the train station. They were happy to see us and we have the most fun recounting our stories on the drive back to our home. I recommend Kihindo tours to anyone looking for an amazing experience!
