Better than anything we could have expected!
Isaya is full of joy and so happy to be your tour guide. You always see him with a smile, even at 6 in the morning and he doesn’t even drink coffee. He arranged every single little detail of the entire trip and made accommodations for us that we were not even expecting. Always made sure we felt at home and comfortable.
The first date on the boat safari was a great introduction to the adventure. The full day safari game drive was out of this world. Isaya and Dula (the amazing driver for that day) made sure that we really got to see all the animals that we could, even going into areas that were extremely hard to get to, Dula was able to get to them. We got to see monkeys, giraffes, pumbas, impalas, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, baboons, hyenas, buffalos and lions! The last day was a walking tour with Didi who is a local tribesman. The way he transmitted his knowledge was very entertaining and genuine.
The lodge was such a peaceful and relaxing environment with exceptional food. Isaya even had them prepare us a traditional Tanzanite breakfast which was a great experience.
Overall we were left with lifetime memories and some great new friends after the three days and we can honestly say we would highly recommend Isaya as your tour guide for the best safari experience you could ever imagine.
And as Isaya and the great people of Tanzania would say, HAKUNA MATATA!

Nice and courteous guy who fulfilled all my wishes.
I really loved the safari with Kihindo Tours and Safari! The guide Fransis was excellent and I saw so many animals throughout the day. Since I was traveling alone, Fransis did everything he could to make me feel safe and also he took super great pictures.
Great safari company! Absolutely recommended!

The best local Safari Company
We choose Kihindo for a 2 days tour and 1 night to Mikumi, and it was amazing!
First of all, if you choose Kihindo, you will be supporting a local company with no third parties.
Second, best value for money! If you were thinking about of doing a Safari and don't want to spend 5000$ each, here you have an affordable option

The guide Kihindo himself was so knowledgeable and soft-spoken. Knew the place through and through!
Kihindo Tours and Safaris was one of the most amazing experiences we have had in a long time!
We have travelled a lot, but this was something else I assure you. The tour was so well put together.
The guide Kihindo knows the Safari completely and tells you all about the animals - how they live, breed and hunt.
Starting from the beginning, he will pick you up where ever you are located and will get you there.
Then you'll have a chance to see all the amazing animals that the place provides. Even the food and accommodation
were great. Because your are staying in a jungle-like hotel with pools and great service. Everything, but the alcohol (which is normal), was included in the price - accommodation, breakfast, lunch, dinner, meeting with the Masais, logistics.

Really great adventure with Kihindo Tours and Safaris!
I had three beautiful days in Selous National park thanks to Isaya! The three days are worth the price that is really affordable for people on a budget; the driving in the proper safari car was really good; Isaya comes to pick you at your hotel and drops you wherever you need to be on the return; the communication with Isaya was really smooth, quick and easy! The safari lodge was really comfortable, nice and calm surrounded by nature; you have both types of “rooms”: big nice safaris tents or big nice rooms both with really nice bathroom; the food was excellent such as the service, everyone is really friendly and at your disposal for anything! In regards of the activities, you will have a nice tour boat on the afternoon of your arrival to observe hippos, crocos, birds and other animals ending up with nice sunset on a sandbank if weather is good; then second day, the day safari is really well driven from early morning to end of the day as Isaya tries to get you to the all animals (and they are there no worries!) as much as he can by going in any corner of the park, he knows the park like is pocket; the park is beautiful with a lot of different landscapes and huge fauna! And on your last day you will experience a nice morning walk in the bush with some medicinal explanations on plants, trees, insects, beliefs and you might be lucky as me and meet some elephants again! Very good value safari! I had a really good time all over the trip! Isaya is really friendly, helpful and makes everything for you to feel you relax, comfortable and good! For sure you will have a great time!

Professionalism guaranteed
Our Safari has been incredible thanks to Isaya and William from Kihindo tours & safaris. I would like to start by saying that they always been very punctual, they even arrived 1 hour before to our hotel to start the Safari and pick us up. They do whatever they can to accommodate the clients and helped us out in different situations: the airline company lost our backpacks and they brought us to do a little bit of shopping to buy some clothes and they also drove us to the airport 2 days later to pick them up. They always did the extra mile for us and they have been extremely available. They are very knowledgeable about the animals and the culture in general and they were always very happy to answer to our questions in depth. We spent a lot of time together but they have never been intrusive. We appreciated their positivity, it was great to spend the Safari together. Also the price is unbeatable and the lodge we went in Selous was great. The communication was very easy and Isaya answered to us always within 2 hours. The car was comfortable, clean and reliable and Isaya is a very good driver and he know how to drive in the parks, even with mud. This Safari has been a success and we will remember it through the rest of our lives thanks to Kihindo.

He was excited, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
I loved the tour. Everything was well organized, but at the same time guide was flexible to our needs. It was amazing to see the animals and hear cool fact about them from our guide. Seeing the tribe also was a culture shock. Really meaningful experience, loved every minute of it! Definitely recommend!
Very caring and professional company.
I could not be more happy to meet this young entrepreneur Isaya. His passion for his job made this trip special. Isaya is not only very knowledgable about animals - he just love them! The best part is that he gets very excited every time he sees animals. As being on safari for the first time. Once you get used to the charm of the safari his enthusiasm excites you again!

Great 6-day safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris!
We had a great 6-day safari with Isaya and Frankie. We arranged the tour via Whatsapp, but Isaya was perfectly on time at our accommodation in Dar es Salaam, to pick us up. Our schedule:
Day 1: Pick up from Dar es Salaam and drive to Mikumi, visiting Masai Boma.
Day 2: Full-day game drive in Mikumi national park (also called, small Serengeti)
Day 3: Drive to Nyerere national park (Selous) and boat safaris
Day 4-5: Full-day game drive in Selous
Day 6: Back to Dar es Salaam
He is so friendly, professional and always happy. Also very well organized, we did not have to worry about anything. He even arranged our tickets for the Ferry after safari. We were lucky to see a lot of animals during our safaris: lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, giraffes, many antilopes, but also small wild, like birds, buffalo spider and ant lion. The roof of the vehicle could be opened during safari, so we were standing during safaris and had a great view. This is also what we preferred since the windows were a bit low compared to the seats.
We stayed at Camp Bastian (Mikumi) and Mloka Safari Lodge (Selous). Both just outside the parks. Camp Bastian was very nice; they had a swimming pool and a nice bar to have a small drink after a long day of safari. The room was a bit small, but has everything you need. In Mloka Safari Lodge, we were the only guests. We do not understand why: the room was very spacious and the food was great. We got the real safari-feeling here ;)
Unfortunately, we had some problems with the car. However, Isaya and Frankie always made sure that we did not experience any inconvenience and always were able to fix it theirselves or with some help of others, after they dropped us of at the accommodation to relax in the pool or have a drink. We would definitely recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris! Hakuna matata :)
