Amazing, professionnel agence
we first arrived in the massai village, an incredible experience, we did not wear the traditional clothes. Geoffrey and William really took the time to explain to us the custom of this community, to go around the village with a Massai and finish while dancing together. The next 2 days took us on a safari in search of animals, we saw lions, impalas, wildebeest, buffaloes, zebras, birds, lizards, crocodiles, hippopotamuses, monkeys, girages, foxes, vultures, facochers and more. It was magical, and our guides made it better. I really fell in love with them.
goeffrey and william accompanied us throughout the experience which was filled with laughter, dancing, really eyes filled with stars
Thank you so munch
I recommend this agency with eyes closed

Isaya is always upbeat, funny, and a pleasure to spend time with.
I strongly recommend Isaya and Kihindo Safari. Isaya planned a thoughtful itinerary, and managed all the details perfectly. He clearly knew the park, understood the animals, and had a lot of knowledge to share.

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!

Responsive, entrepreneurial, kind and committed to his clients having an amazing experience!
Isaya of Kihindo Safaris was my tour guide on two amazing safaris over the last two weeks: the first a three-day safari at Nyerere National Park/Salous with work colleagues, and the second a three-day safari at Mikumi National Park with my family.
All of my pre-safari dealings with Kihindo Safaris were incredible: from the moment I inquired about different tour options, Kihindo’s responses were prompt and clear. This made coordination easy as I was traveling on a complicated work trip with a lot of logistics. Isaya made things straightforward but was also flexible to accommodate changes and questions about different options for tours and payment.
As for the tours themselves, they exceeded all expectations. Isaya is a talented tour guide - he knows both parks very well and we saw such a wide variety of animals at different locations and at different times of day when we visited. He was knowledgeable about the parks and their many inhabitants and was often “first on the scene” at a given location to see an exciting animal. He added interesting cultural add-ons to each safari - at Selous, a walking safari with a bushman, and at Mikumi, a visit to a Maasai village. Isaya kept us on task and schedule which we appreciated. The accommodations were also excellent, convenient and exceeded our expectations.
As Kihindo is a small business, I was pleased to support them rather than a larger tour group company where the tour guides are subcontractors or staff. Kihindo Safaris is a highly entrepreneurial business and I know I received a high value for the services rendered.
I will recommend Kihindo Safaris without hesitation to those taking safari trips at parks throughout Tanzania.

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.

Great organization and amazing tour!
We chose the 3 days selous game in order to experience different aspects of the safari and it was great! Our guide was super kind and helped us for everything! The organization was efficient from the booking to the end of the adventure. The schedule time is perfect since you have enough time to do the experiences and also to relax in the lodge!

Amazing experience and service
We went on a 2-day safari with our amazing guide Gaston. We were picked up in our hotel in Dar Es Salaam and drove to Mikumi national park. On the way we had a few stops and got lunch on the way. We went for an afternoon game drive and were stunned by the park and all the animals we got to see in the short period of time we were there. We slept over in the national park and we were also here super positively surprised by the high quality of the rooms and service. The food was ok. The next morning we had a early morning game drive where we also were super lucky and got to see a lot of animals very close by. Our guide was very nice and a perfect fit for us. He told us some facts about the animals, but also allowed us to experience the wildlife in complete silence. The silence of the nature is what shook us the most! The sounds and views are truly amazing. For information, we saw lions, zebras, giraffes, hippos, monkeys, baboons, wildebeasts, elephants, birds, impalas and soooo on! We had an amazing trip and would 100% recommend KIHINDO Tours and Safaris to all our friends, and would love to come back one day!

Best comms with a tour operator
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances I could not attend the safari. But the entire booking process was a breeze and Isaya was so helpful in organising what would of been the perfect safari tour. A very understanding tour operating group when I could not attend and I will 100% use them in the future when I return to tanzania as nothing was too much trouble for them. Best communication with a tour operating group I’ve ever encountered.
