Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!
What an incredible safari tour in Tanzania Mikumi National Park with Kihindo Tours and Safaris. The quality surpassed expectations, offering excellent value for money. So well looked after all the way - and what an outstanding experience to see so many beautiful creatures in just 2 days. Our guide, Isayah, was outstanding—his deep local knowledge and friendly demeanor added immense value to the experience. Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!

Amazing experience, great guide
We chose these guys because they were the most responsive and had competitive pricing. Winnie was very good at organising the tour and communicating with us, and William was great company and very knowledgeable about the animals on the safari. We had a fantastic time and saw all the animals we wanted to see - lions, elephants, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras etc. Thank you guys for a great time!

Professional and safe operator
We chose Kihindo because they were the first to contact us and provided us a detailed travel plan and quote for the safari. Kihibdos quote was not the cheapest but also not the most expensive one we received, they offered us good price and very good communication at all times. Winnie did amazing job in organazing our tour in short notice!
We chose the 2 day, one night in Mikumi National Park, which proved to be very good value for money spent. We were transported to the park from Dar safely and in good time by our safari driver, William. The safari was an amazing experience, we got to see 16 lions, hundreds of seepras and impalas, many giraffes, elephants, hippos and much more.
Driver William was very professional and got us through some of the most difficult rain soaked muddy roads. William also provided us information on the animals we saw at the park and most importantly knew where to find the animals.
Overal the safari was the highlight of our 2,5 week stay in Tanzania and we are very happy to have chosen Kihindo Tours and Safaris.

Outstanding
You will not regret booking with Kihindo Tours and Safari's.
The process of booking was smooth and communication swift. Met at the airport and seemless transfer to the safari park and dropped off at the ferry port once complete.
The safari was excellent and more so our guide William made the trip that bit better. Very personable, warming and had a good knowledge of the animals that we saw which included lions, elphants and Water Buffalo.
Great company, staffed by excellent, genuine people who make your trip so very special.

Kihindo Tours & Safaris exceeded all expectations! We had the most amazing experience.
Booking a safari with Kihindo Tours & Safaris is the best decision we have made. From all the help and advice we got from Winnie when planning, till the actual safari with the best guide possible, Isaya, we had an amazing experience. We unfortunately didn’t have as much time in Tanzania as we would have wished, but Winnie took the time to plan everything with us, so we could get the most out of our time. She even came to welcome us at the airport and followed up several times during the safari. Kihindo Tours & Safaris wouldn’t be the same without her!
The safari was amazing - we saw so many animals and also came quite close to them. But Isaya made sure to do it with respect for the animals and also knew when to stay away. He taught us a lot about the wildlife, had great knowledge, and answered all the questions we had. He was very polite and also had great humour. We laughed a lot, which made the trip even more memorable.
Staying at Camp Bastian was a bonus. Also here we were met by friendly people, the area was beautiful, the food very good, everything was clean and our family room spacious.
We can only recommend Kihindo Tours & Safaris to everyone who wants to experience the beauty of Tanzania, and we already dream about going back, with more time on hand.

Saloniki and William were knowledgeable, skillful, attentive and patient.
KIHINDO Tours and Safari’s theme is “Dreams to Reality” and it is spot on! Our dreams became a possibility when during negotiations, staff Whinie was attentive to our goals and desires and proposed a plan that worked for our budget. We took a 3 days 2 nights Safari from Dar es Salaam to the Nyerere National park. Our guides William and Saloniki picked us up promptly in the morning in our hotel and at the end of our safari journey they brought us to the airport as requested.
Day first consisted of driving 4.5 hours, we stopped for a bathroom break and to buy fruits for snacks. We had a tire malfunction that was quickly fixed by the guys, as they had two extra spare tires. We made it happily to our lodging where we were received by the kindest staff with a delicious and plentiful lunch. Lunch was pasta, chicken and salad. We brought snacks and soups in case the menu wasn’t to our liking but we never touched anything that we brought as all meals were delicious. During our stay we had steak, fruits, eggs, vegetables, chicken, crepes. Later we went on a boat Safari where we spotted birds, habitats and lots of active hippos.
On Day two it was a full day of Game. We went into the park and spent the day seeing all the animals we wanted. One of the hardest to find could be the lions and we even encountered a lioness. Keep in mind they are wild animals and there’s no guarantee you’ll see them all but both guides knew what they were doing and what spots gave us the best chance. Guides were knowledgeable and made us feel safe at all times. We had a picnic lunch at the park. There are bathrooms also available. The vehicle allows you to sit or stand and the guide are very accommodating and helpful in taking your picture.
Day three we had a walking tour with a guide Didi. From him we learned tons on tribe culture , plants and animals; even how to identify animals by their tracks and survival tips.
Overall We have no negative points and would recommend this company and staff.
What a wonderful time we had with Kihindo Tours
From the moment we first contacted Kihindo Tours and Safaris it felt right. Winnie's replies were fast, polite and informative, whatever we wanted she was happy to provide, adding a tour of Dar es Salaam to the end of our safari as we had time to spare before our early morning flight.
We spent three days and two nights in Nyerere National Park with our guide Saloniki and driver William. When they collected us from our hotel they were polite and welcoming, we immediately felt at home with them and knew that we would be well taken care of nothing we asked of them was too much trouble. To anyone considering a safari with Kihindo I would highly recommend Saloniki and William, you will be well taken care of and they are a credit to the company.

What a fantastic tour
From the time Saloniki and William picked us up at our hotel and dropped us back at the airport at the end of the tour all our needs were met. The guide and driver were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We wanted to see elephants and both Saloniki and William made sure we saw some. They worked well together as a team. Winnie was in contact to discuss details and was very prompt to reply to any questions we had. The 3day tour was well worth the money. As our flight was in the earlier hours we arranged for an extra tour to fill the hours. Both Saloniki and William made sure we were safe at all times and were fantastic company. They were a credit to Kihindo tours and safaris.

Fantastic 2 day Nyerere safari
As a solo traveler I was a bit nervous that there would not be options available to me (especially at a reasonable price) but huge shoutout to Winnie who held my hand through the process including when some flight issues meant I had to shorten from 3 days to 2. Isaya was an amazing guide as others have noted and we made the most of the shortened time. Would note that drive to Nyerere from Dar was only around 4 hours each way as I saw some sources mentioning a much longer transit time. The road isn’t great but wasn’t as bad as I had feared.
