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.

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.

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.

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!

Very professional, available, helpsome, very Good Safari guide and driver,
Very professional company with Good communication before booking and after. Winnie made herself always available and is helpsome for all kind of information.
Our Safari trip with William was fantastic and memorable. Its really worth it to spend 2 nights at Mikumi and 3 nights in Nyerere , to have time, appreciate the differents safaris, like walking Safari and boat Safari. I really recommand this combination and recommand William as guide.

We did a 4 night 5 day Safari with Isahya to Nyerere and Mikumi national park! It was absolutely amazing, we had the best time in our trip! From the pick up in dar es salaam to our last day and drop off everything was super well organised and Isahya always provided us with everything we needed! The accommodation were very nice and the rooms were super spacious! I can not recommend this trip more! We enjoyed every second of it! Thanks again to the great Organisation from Isahya

Informative safari experience that exceeded my expectations
The safari exceeded all my expectations. I got a lot of information of the nature, animals and the wild life overall. I was lucky to see all the animals that can be seen in Mikumi. Also, my guide Wiliam told me a lot of the Tanzanian culture, habits and way of living. I found it very interesting and valuable. Something that one cannot rate in money. The 10 km hike was incredible with many waterfalls and a chance to swim in them. There was not a lot of “alone time”, so if you wish to have some during e.g. the meals, inform the organiser before hand. I felt very well taken care of, since Winnie messaged me every day and asked me how my day had been and is there anything that they can help me with. I can recommend KIHINDO tours & safari to others.
