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 :)

Reliable
As it is not very common for Brazilians to travel to Tanzania, we were a little apprehensive about hiring the tour via whatsapp. What made us calmer was that Isaya was always very attentive and transparent, in addition to allowing us to pay in full only on arrival. He picked us up from the ferry as arranged. The trip to the Lodge, in the Selous region, is in the same car as the safari. A little tiring because the road is mostly dirt and the car does not have air conditioning. The Lodge was as expected, simple but very clean and with friendly staff and good meals, simple too, but tasty. On the first day we went on a boat safari on the Rufiji River and saw many Hippos and crocodiles, the guide for this day is very good and explains everything about the river and the animals. At the end of the day, we can still admire the sunset on the safe banks of the river. On the second day we did the Game Drive, where we could see many animals, Giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, guinus, impalas, wild boars, monkeys, more hippos and crocodiles, in short, many animals. On the third and last day we took a walk through part of the park with a local guide who teaches us a lot about local biology and traditions. On this day we returned to Dar as salan, on the same way as we were going, where we said goodbye to Isaya and again took the Ferry to Zanzibar. We only have raves about Isaya. He is a young boy, just 21 years old, but a born entrepreneur. Extremely responsible and always concerned with the well-being of customers. This tour is one of the cheapest you can do in Tanzania compared to Safaris, so don't expect anything luxurious. Transport, accommodation, food and drinks are all proportional to the amount we pay, but the care and affection of Isaya and all the other guides and staff are certainly far above what we expected. I would definitely hire again so we recommend.

Our guide Isaya made us feel like home. All the time we felt safe and relaxed. He is fun and caring.
I would really recommend experience with Kihindo Tour. Our guide Isaya made us feel like home. He is caring- we felt safely all 3 days. His jokes are funny and his laugh is even more fun

Just Great
We had a SuperB trip organized by Khindo Tours & Safari team. Isaiah (hopefully I write the name properly :) ) made the trip simply excellent. We traveled from Dar Es Salaam. The car was very good and we were able to pack all the stuff in. The entire way to the Safari he gave us a lot of stories about the Safari itself, what we will see, where will go, but also he explained to us the living in the villages on the way to Safari.
During the Safari he was super energetic and you could feel that he does have a real pleasure of showing us all that stuff and animals even at the time we got tired a bit. He still had plenty of energy to keep us watching all the time.
The location of the sleep and the food and the entire trip was well organized. Also, he helped us to organize a Ferry to Zanzibar and even Taxi there to Hotel.
If you are reading this, just take them. You will not regret it.

I have had the time of my life.
Kihindo company went the extra mile to provide the best experience to our group of 7 people attending 3days Safari in Nyerere National Park.
If you want to visit unknown territory with flock of wild animals first thing that might come to your mind is safety issues and I must underline that from the beginning I felt at ease.
Secondly, our tour guide, Isaya, created amazing atmosphere and provided many interesting information about animals, people and Tanzania as a country. I felt excited and enjoyed hearing all tips and hints about life in the nature.
Moreover, he was open for our requests and the schedule was flexible, even though It was not just another tourist attraction but rather customized tour combined with boat trip on Rufigi River finished with marvelous sunset, full game drive in the open-roof Jeep amongst hundreds of different animals, walking Safari and sleeping in the bush.
Finally, not only the whole time spent on Safari was an unforgettable adventure, but overall service provided by Kihindo was outstanding too. I would definitely go once again with them to put my dreams into reality.

The most gentle and flexible guides
We felt safe and comfortable from the very first moment that William, our safari guide, picked us up at our hotel. Also Isaya has been very kind in helping us before arriving in Tanzania! We booked a 3 days safari but although the shortness of trip, the tour operators made the unpossible to let us see all the animals in one game drive only! Specifically William was super friendly and helped us with everything unrelated with the tour.. we call him as a friend by now.. thank you for making our stay unforgettable!

Amazing tour and fantastic guide Isiah.
Truely an experience to look forward to. Safari was really interesting thanks to the wide range of knowledge of the guide. Accomodation was very comfortable and food tasted good. Meeting the local Maasai village was a extra experience of it's own.
