Organized affordable yet still knowledgeable
I think it is best to split this review into two parts. The tldr however is that our safari with Kihindo was wonderful.
Pre-safari
The organisation all occurred last minute over WhatsApp with the wonderful Winnie who answered all of my questions and concerns (of which there were many) swiftly and clearly. The price was exactly as advertised with no additional taxes charged etc etc. We were picked up from our hotel by someone from the agency and dropped of exactly where we wanted to be by our guide at the end.
The safari
The safari it's self was spectacular, we went to Nyerere national park for 3 days and 2 nights and had a very knowledgeable guide named Isa. Our first day we arrived to a very nice lodge were greeted by the staff there offered a drink and asked when we would like to lunch (as they would ask for every meal) the accommodation was spacious and clean. The game drive went spectacularly as our guide knew the park and animals very well we saw so much, and although a lot of it is based on luck I believe having a good guide really increases your chances.
All in all we had a wonderful trip filled with incredible encounters and are planning to do another safari with Kihindo in 3 days largely due to how wonderful the last one was.

Amazing!
We were five students from Norway that took the day trip safari from Dar es Salaam. The travel to the park went very smoothly, and it was very easy to communicate with the people driving us places.
When we got to the park, we met with the driver that would take us through the safari, and we could not be happier. Danford was an amazing guide, who gave lots of fun facts about the animals, he even went back to show the lions twice, cause we were so excited about it!
In the park there are a lot of animals, and we got to see so many very close to us. This trip was definitely worth the money!

Making our safari the best
We took a safari during low season, so there wore less animals and less turist. Our accommodation were nice, very quiet and relaxing and good food. The guide try very hard to show all the animals and we learn alot from the driver. Very nice experience!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience in Nyerere & Mikumi!
Our safari in Nyerere and Mikumi was truly an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than William.
William was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the wildlife but also about the plants and the rich history of Tanzania. He shared fascinating insights throughout the trip, making every moment even more special. His deep respect for the environment and the animals was evident, ensuring we had an ethical and responsible safari experience.
Beyond his expertise, William was also extremely friendly, always available for any questions, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of wildlife and learned so much along the way.
We highly recommend this safari agency and, most of all, William—he truly made our trip exceptional! If you’re planning a safari, look no further.

Incredible nature sights and educative tour guide in Mikumi National park
I traveled with Kihindo Tours and Safaris to Mikumi National Park in December, accompanied by three friends. Our tour guide, William, picked us up from our accommodation in Dar es Salaam early in the morning, around 6 a.m., and we drove together to our hotel near the park. In the evening, we visited a Maasai village where we had the opportunity to take part in a Maasai tour. The guide taught us about their way of life and showed us around, which was an enriching experience. We then returned to the hotel and enjoyed dinner at their restaurant.
The following day began with breakfast at 6 a.m., followed by a short drive to the national park. On the way, we already saw several animals, including zebras, antelopes, and giraffes. We quickly realized that luck was on our side, as we managed to spot four of the Big Five in just a few hours (there are no rhinos in Mikumi, which is the fifth of the Big Five). Throughout the day, William, our exceptional guide, took the time to explain the characteristics of each animal we encountered and answered all of our questions with great care. Lunch was served at a restaurant within the park, where we were accompanied by monkeys roaming around the area, all while enjoying a beautiful view of the savannah. We ended the game drive around 5 pm and were served dinner back at the hotel.
On the second day of the safari, the weather turned rainy, but this did not bother us, as we were in a vehicle with a roof—unlike most other safari companies we observed. It was actually quite beautiful to witness the dramatic transformation of the landscape as the rain began, and it added to the surreal feeling of being immersed in nature. We informed William that we wanted to experience a more relaxed, "slow TV"-style safari, simply watching the animals at our own pace, which he was more than happy to accommodate. His flexibility and attentiveness made the experience even more enjoyable, and I appreciated this personal touch, which was a major advantage of having a private guide.
On the third day, we had a travel day, as we drove back to Dar es Salaam and were dropped off at the ferry terminal for our trip to Zanzibar. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable experience, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

fantastic customer service, unforgettable experience
I booked last minute (9pm the night before) for a one-day trip to Mikumi National Park from Dar es Salaam. Firstly, the experience was incredible - more animals per hour than any national park I've been to - baby elephants, baby giraffes, a lioness and cubs hiding away (but we saw them!) and a lion that walked alongside the jeep. Absolutely brilliant. Secondly, the customer service was exceptional - Winnie from the team was so responsive, booking everything even though it was late and pick up was 5am, and I had a private guide and driver in the park. Connections and transport was seamless, from hotel pick-up to train station, train, pick up and drive to the park, and back again. Flawless. Shout out to Winnie, drivers Adam, Isaya and Ibrahim, and safari guide Saloniki.

Amazing organisation and contact throughout the process. Felt like I was in good hands.
Winnie’s communication throughout was exceptional. I cannot compliment her more because she really made sure everything was done properly. There was never a question unanswered and everything was organised perfectly with no problems. We felt safe and comfortable at all times and well looked after. Thank you so much for a once in a lifetime safari that we will remember forever! I would give 10 stars if I could :)

Amazing guide and driver – perfect timing for the best wildlife spots!
From start to finish, this safari was absolutely outstanding! Communication was seamless, even before the trip, and the service was top-notch—everything was tailored to our needs. The value for money? A solid 12/10! 😅 We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and had what felt like a private tour, just the two of us, rather than being packed into a vehicle with ten others. On top of that, our driver had perfect timing, always getting us to the right spots at the right moment. You could truly tell he loved his job and knew the area inside out—he shared so much fascinating knowledge with us. Truly an exceptional experience—couldn’t be happier!
