Kihindo Tours and Safaris is the most creative, professional, and cool tour operator in Tanzania.
No right words can explain my Selous Game reserve Safari that was organized by Kihindo Tours. I had the most amazing time doing the game drive at Selous.
I submitted some initial information on Safari Bookings website, not knowing really much of anything other than that I wanted the best safari experience, and promptly were set up with three experienced travel agencies in Tanzania. Within 10 minutes, Kihindo Tours called me and he spoke so friendly. I went with this cordial as he was good at communicating and very open to meeting my specific requests. He’s a very experienced travel expert and has been coming up with Selous Game Reserve travel plans for a while. Based on the initial information I submitted, he drew up an initial general outline itinerary for me. Kihindo Tours is very flexible – adjusting things here and there (activities, accommodations, you name it) before we came to a finalized itinerary that I was very happy about. And my oh my, when the day for my Safari finally arrived, I was not disappointed.
There are so many memorable parts of the trip- the most amazing Boat Safari in Rufiji River, the accommodation where I slept, not forgetting the full day game drive in the National park. I saw elephants, lions, hippos, giraffe etc - you name it. It was such a good safari experience.
If you could take the trip again, I would you do nothing differently. Throughout the trip, I kept saying that this is my first safari experience that I was treated like a queen. Kihindo Tours really set up the trip in a way that I just showed up, relaxed and had fun, because everything was taken care of. Asante sana Kihindo Tours and Safaris.

At his age he knows all about the environment he is passionate and committed.
Very pleasant and very patient with the children.
I recommend 100%.
He's a friend we'll never forget.

Awesome 3 day safari to Selous!
We did a 3 day safari to Selous with Kihindo Tours. It was amazing! One of our best experiences throughout all of our travels. The boat safari was fun and a nice intro to Selous. We travelled with 4 children (2, 4, 9, and 12) and they enjoyed cruising on the river looking at the wildlife. The highlight was definitely day 2 doing the all day safari drive. It was almost surreal! We saw lions, hyenas, giraffes, elephants, zebras, hippos, wild hogs, baboons, wildebeest, water buffalos, impalas, and much more. The walking safari was great as well, where we got educated on the plants and local uses of them. Our family would highly recommend Kihindo Tours! They are professional, knowledgeable, and overall great people. Thanks again Kihindo Tours! We hope to do more tours with you in the future.

Kihindo Top operator
We're just back from 5 days between Selous and Ruaha and I have to recommend Isaya (Kihindo Safaris) as one of the best operators in Dar Es Salaam, he's valuable knowledge of all national parks and I've never meet someone more welcoming and helpful as Isaya. He's so friendly, he can assist you for any any issues, his company is well established and ready to satisfy you and your soul. Value for money is absolutely a match here, Isaya is always ready to help and support you, even in the middle of the bush. Rely on Kihindo Safaris, you'll never get disappointed.

BEST SAFARI EXPERIENCE WE’VE EVER HAD!
The highlight of our trip in Tanzania is absolutely thanks to our guide Isaya and driver Godlove (Kihindo). Isaya and Godlove provided us so much insights, knowledge, and life lessons during our 4-day trip across Northern Tanzania Safari. They could spot wild animals from far away, even some camouflaged Giraffes amongst the forest of Lake Manyara, or some rarely spotted Rhinos in Ngorongoro and a Leopard sitting on top of gigantic rock (which could be impossible for the normal eyes to spot it). Isaya was very positive, energetic, and he made our trip simply more fun and “goodie-goodie”, and he was responsive in terms of re-arranging tour itinerary with us as we had to reschedule the whole trip in the last-minute. Godbless was very attentive, and he provided us a very useful advices and solutions during our trip from Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. We managed to see the BIG 5 during our whole trip. I hope Kihindo Tour will have better improvements in terms of work professionalism ahead given all their potentials they have had already. Thank you very much for helping us experiencing the best trip of our lifetime!

Amazing, thoughtful, the best!
Kihindo tours was the best choice! As we saw other tour operators also, we were just beyond lucky to have chosen Kihindo. The car was comfortable, fridge worked perfectly, they organized everything we needed and we felt great. Lunches and dinners were amazing and also the bungalows we slept in. Isaya and our driver were the best team, they knew answers to each question we had and made us feel not like tourists but their guests. We are so thankful! Please choose them and you will not regret :) Also, Kihindo makes sure to answer via whatsapp really quickly before, during or after the tour :)

Safari is not cheap, but it totally worth it, especially with Kihindo team!
My wife and I were staying in Zanzibar,
We took a ferry to Dar es Salaam were Isaya (our guide) met us and after 3 DAY SAFARI dropped us back here.
Every step of our safari tour was VERRY WELL ORGANIZED with highly PROFESSIONAL AND EDUCATED GUIDES . Isaya was our main guide and was always with us. Very educated, kind, positive and caring.
THE BOAT SAFARI
The guide - was a local man who grew up in the village by the river and knew all about it.
We saw hippos, crocodile and different kinds of birds
THE GAME DRIVE
The driver (Judas) had over 15 year experience as a local safari driver, he knew the park very well so we could get very close to the animals.
We saw a lot of giraffe, antelope(different kind), zebra, baboon, wild boar also we got lucky to see few elephants, buffalos, lion and hyena.
You never know who you will see for sure - and spotting animals was a lot of fun for us too.
THE WALKING SAFARI
It was by Didi, the tribe representative, who knew everything about survival in the jungle + very educated in medical field and also we had a professional guard with a gun for safety.
On all these tour parts Isaya was with us making sure we get the most out of the tours.
ACCOMONDATION:
Mloka Safari Lodge
It was excellent, spacious rooms and beautiful area (only disadvantage - no a/c in the room)
FOOD
Food was the best from all the time we have been in Tanzania! Tasty and giant portions!
My wife is pescatarian and they took it into account and made different meals for us.
Thank you so much Kihindo Tours! Highly recommend them! very rich and personal experience!

Everything was great
guide arrived in time to my hotel. Hotel in NP Mikumi is good, dinner and breakfast are tasty and diverse. Unfortunely we didn't meet lions, but we saw a leopaed, it was a great luck. Special Thx to our driver Francis, he's the expert in off-road driving.

Very good :)
I can recommend this tour to everyone. It is a nice park with a lot of animals. Unfortunately we haven't seen any lions but we have seen zebras, buffalos, giraffes, elephants, hippos and monkeys. Isaya took a good care of us the whole time, he took pictures and videos while doing the tour which was great. We also appreciated a short tour through Masai village to experience their way of life. Accomodation was also very nice.
