Excellent communication, organisation and guides.
I can throughly recommend Kihindo Tours for a safari in southern Tanzania. My guides were hardworking, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I travelled solo and always felt safe. Loved the great wildlife viewing. Visited Ruaha and Mikumi National Park -5 day trip. I was limited on time but probably would have done an extra day in Ruaha. There is a lot of traveling on this trip which was clearly stated in the detailed itinerary that I received upon booking. Accommodation was clean, comfortable but simple. Due to the busy days I didn’t spend much time in the accommodation. I very much enjoyed my time on this trip.

A safari that turned out to be a blast
If it’d be possible I’d give 10 stars.
Our private safari with Kihindo was incredible. It’s not a cheap affair but if you’d like to get the best out of the Tanzanian wildlife, there is no other way (in my humble opinion). If you can afford it, just go for it.
Joint safaris are a completely different story.
We did participate in both kinds and hence my comparison.
However I suppose even with a private one you have to have a good luck to experience it to the fullest.
We luckily had it.
Winnie was the coordinator of our trip and exchange with her (on email and later on WhatsApp a few weeks before our trip) was quick and efficient.
5 nights in 2 different lodges have been booked for us. Mloka Lodge and Bastian where Mloka is our favourite. With such a great human touch we haven’t been greeted anywhere during our journey.
We decided to go for 6 days safari during which we aimed to visit two parks in the South: Nyerere and Mikumi. Both of them are great places to spot a lot of animals. But a good guide is the key.
Many amazing, touching moments we experienced during the safari happened because of our guide: Michael. All credits go for him.
We cannot thank him enough for his great efforts to please us spotting that many animals. But he was doing this in a very respectful way (no chasing after animals at all costs or scaring them; not at all!).
He was giving us all the time we needed to contemplate those out of this world creatures, landscapes and spectacles that were going on in front of us.
His passion, enthusiasm and great interest for his native wildlife is not only palpable, but also contiguous.
His broad knowledge about many environmental aspects is enormous.
We learnt from him more than from numerous books about Tanzania we read before our trip.
Every evening (except for one) we were dining together exchanging our experiences we had that day. It was also a great opportunity to discuss much more in detail the animals, their habitats, behaviours, rituals…etc.
We were speaking about way more topics than the native wildlife. We exchanged on our local customs and aspects of our lives: in Poland, Tanzania, Ireland, Germany. We found many common things.
We spoke about so many different topics: political, social, environmental, sustainable, historical, cultural… to name just a few.
Michael is a very special guide.
You would be lucky to have him as yours at your side.
Thanks Michael for everything and good luck in all your future endeavours!

Our safari with Saloniki and Darnford was unforgettable, thanks to their friendliness and dedication
Our safari was truly an unforgettable experience! We had an amazing time over the two days with the fantastic guides, Saloniki and Darnford. They were incredibly dedicated, super friendly, and made sure every moment was perfect. I highly recommend this to everyone—it’s an adventure you won’t regret!

Honest, on point, dedicated and friendly!
My girlfriend and I recently had an unforgettable safari experience that far exceeded our expectations.
We were fortunate enough to see every animal we had hoped for, making this one of the most remarkable adventures of my life.
Our guides, Darnford and Saloniki, were incredibly dedicated, going above and beyond to ensure our experience was exceptional.
Their passion and effort truly made the journey special. Without a doubt, this won’t be our last visit.
Thank you so much for such an incredible experience!

Very helpful and kind
First of all, thank Winnie the tour operator, who organised our trip and helped us, by telling us which safari should we do because they all have their own particularity and choose which one suits us more.The selection was perfect (Mikumi-Ruaha) because we saw a lot of animals and especially hippos and lions who are our favourites. Also, many thanks to our guides Michael and danford, who weren’t only our guides but we became good friends. The safari was fantastic but they made it for us much better, along the secret conversation we had while eating😂.In conclusion, it was once life time experience, I recommend everyone to go on a safari and preferably with Kihindo tours and especially with those 2 guides. I have already recommended it to my friends and relatives. See you soon brothers, greetings from ILIAS,ILIAS and Nicolas.
P.S. danford have a good marriage,
Michael don’t stop being an impala.

Very professional
Our first 3-day safari in Tanzania was a great experience with Kihindo Tours and Safaris. From our exchanges from France with Winnie, the manager, to our meeting on the first day of the safari. Everything was very well organized, clean vehicle, Mloka lodge right next to the park is very well located, a superb place, very caring staff. And a big thank you to William, who was an excellent guide as well as an excellent driver. Thanks to him we were able to see a maximum of animals. I highly recommend this agency!!!
