Just Great
We had a SuperB trip organized by Khindo Tours & Safari team. Isaiah (hopefully I write the name properly :) ) made the trip simply excellent. We traveled from Dar Es Salaam. The car was very good and we were able to pack all the stuff in. The entire way to the Safari he gave us a lot of stories about the Safari itself, what we will see, where will go, but also he explained to us the living in the villages on the way to Safari.
During the Safari he was super energetic and you could feel that he does have a real pleasure of showing us all that stuff and animals even at the time we got tired a bit. He still had plenty of energy to keep us watching all the time.
The location of the sleep and the food and the entire trip was well organized. Also, he helped us to organize a Ferry to Zanzibar and even Taxi there to Hotel.
If you are reading this, just take them. You will not regret it.

Our guide Isaya made us feel like home. All the time we felt safe and relaxed. He is fun and caring.
I would really recommend experience with Kihindo Tour. Our guide Isaya made us feel like home. He is caring- we felt safely all 3 days. His jokes are funny and his laugh is even more fun

Reliable
As it is not very common for Brazilians to travel to Tanzania, we were a little apprehensive about hiring the tour via whatsapp. What made us calmer was that Isaya was always very attentive and transparent, in addition to allowing us to pay in full only on arrival. He picked us up from the ferry as arranged. The trip to the Lodge, in the Selous region, is in the same car as the safari. A little tiring because the road is mostly dirt and the car does not have air conditioning. The Lodge was as expected, simple but very clean and with friendly staff and good meals, simple too, but tasty. On the first day we went on a boat safari on the Rufiji River and saw many Hippos and crocodiles, the guide for this day is very good and explains everything about the river and the animals. At the end of the day, we can still admire the sunset on the safe banks of the river. On the second day we did the Game Drive, where we could see many animals, Giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, guinus, impalas, wild boars, monkeys, more hippos and crocodiles, in short, many animals. On the third and last day we took a walk through part of the park with a local guide who teaches us a lot about local biology and traditions. On this day we returned to Dar as salan, on the same way as we were going, where we said goodbye to Isaya and again took the Ferry to Zanzibar. We only have raves about Isaya. He is a young boy, just 21 years old, but a born entrepreneur. Extremely responsible and always concerned with the well-being of customers. This tour is one of the cheapest you can do in Tanzania compared to Safaris, so don't expect anything luxurious. Transport, accommodation, food and drinks are all proportional to the amount we pay, but the care and affection of Isaya and all the other guides and staff are certainly far above what we expected. I would definitely hire again so we recommend.

Really great adventure with Kihindo Tours and Safaris!
I had three beautiful days in Selous National park thanks to Isaya! The three days are worth the price that is really affordable for people on a budget; the driving in the proper safari car was really good; Isaya comes to pick you at your hotel and drops you wherever you need to be on the return; the communication with Isaya was really smooth, quick and easy! The safari lodge was really comfortable, nice and calm surrounded by nature; you have both types of “rooms”: big nice safaris tents or big nice rooms both with really nice bathroom; the food was excellent such as the service, everyone is really friendly and at your disposal for anything! In regards of the activities, you will have a nice tour boat on the afternoon of your arrival to observe hippos, crocos, birds and other animals ending up with nice sunset on a sandbank if weather is good; then second day, the day safari is really well driven from early morning to end of the day as Isaya tries to get you to the all animals (and they are there no worries!) as much as he can by going in any corner of the park, he knows the park like is pocket; the park is beautiful with a lot of different landscapes and huge fauna! And on your last day you will experience a nice morning walk in the bush with some medicinal explanations on plants, trees, insects, beliefs and you might be lucky as me and meet some elephants again! Very good value safari! I had a really good time all over the trip! Isaya is really friendly, helpful and makes everything for you to feel you relax, comfortable and good! For sure you will have a great time!

They did everything they could for is to have a great safari
We hade a great Safari with Kihindo Safaris to Selous (Nyerere) National park. The owner of the company, Isaya, is a young, driven, happy and knowledgeable tour guide that wants the best for his clients. The lodge ge provided was very clean, the service was great and food tasty. Isaya and the lodge even arranged a birthday cake for my girlfriend on short notice - thank you she will remember that for ever!
We could have been more lucky with spotting animals so next time we probably will choose another national park that Kihindo guides - Mikumi for example. But ut is called wildlife for a reason ;)

Great 6-day safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris!
We had a great 6-day safari with Isaya and Frankie. We arranged the tour via Whatsapp, but Isaya was perfectly on time at our accommodation in Dar es Salaam, to pick us up. Our schedule:
Day 1: Pick up from Dar es Salaam and drive to Mikumi, visiting Masai Boma.
Day 2: Full-day game drive in Mikumi national park (also called, small Serengeti)
Day 3: Drive to Nyerere national park (Selous) and boat safaris
Day 4-5: Full-day game drive in Selous
Day 6: Back to Dar es Salaam
He is so friendly, professional and always happy. Also very well organized, we did not have to worry about anything. He even arranged our tickets for the Ferry after safari. We were lucky to see a lot of animals during our safaris: lions, buffalo, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, zebras, giraffes, many antilopes, but also small wild, like birds, buffalo spider and ant lion. The roof of the vehicle could be opened during safari, so we were standing during safaris and had a great view. This is also what we preferred since the windows were a bit low compared to the seats.
We stayed at Camp Bastian (Mikumi) and Mloka Safari Lodge (Selous). Both just outside the parks. Camp Bastian was very nice; they had a swimming pool and a nice bar to have a small drink after a long day of safari. The room was a bit small, but has everything you need. In Mloka Safari Lodge, we were the only guests. We do not understand why: the room was very spacious and the food was great. We got the real safari-feeling here ;)
Unfortunately, we had some problems with the car. However, Isaya and Frankie always made sure that we did not experience any inconvenience and always were able to fix it theirselves or with some help of others, after they dropped us of at the accommodation to relax in the pool or have a drink. We would definitely recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris! Hakuna matata :)
