Kihindo Tours and Safaris is the most creative, professional, and cool tour operator in Tanzania.
No right words can explain my Selous Game reserve Safari that was organized by Kihindo Tours. I had the most amazing time doing the game drive at Selous.
I submitted some initial information on Safari Bookings website, not knowing really much of anything other than that I wanted the best safari experience, and promptly were set up with three experienced travel agencies in Tanzania. Within 10 minutes, Kihindo Tours called me and he spoke so friendly. I went with this cordial as he was good at communicating and very open to meeting my specific requests. He’s a very experienced travel expert and has been coming up with Selous Game Reserve travel plans for a while. Based on the initial information I submitted, he drew up an initial general outline itinerary for me. Kihindo Tours is very flexible – adjusting things here and there (activities, accommodations, you name it) before we came to a finalized itinerary that I was very happy about. And my oh my, when the day for my Safari finally arrived, I was not disappointed.
There are so many memorable parts of the trip- the most amazing Boat Safari in Rufiji River, the accommodation where I slept, not forgetting the full day game drive in the National park. I saw elephants, lions, hippos, giraffe etc - you name it. It was such a good safari experience.
If you could take the trip again, I would you do nothing differently. Throughout the trip, I kept saying that this is my first safari experience that I was treated like a queen. Kihindo Tours really set up the trip in a way that I just showed up, relaxed and had fun, because everything was taken care of. Asante sana Kihindo Tours and Safaris.

Amazing Experience!!
We could not of picked a better safari company!! Our guide Peter truly loves what he does and is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, geological formation of the land, and the culture. Peter was very transparent with us which we greatly appreciated. He told us on day one, which animals we will be able to see versus which animals are harder to locate. We understood that with nature, no one can predict the animal patterns. Lucky for us... we saw the BIG 5 !!! The guide will maximize your time out there in order to see all the animals, so do not expect a lot of down time, but in the end it’s worth it. In spite of all the crazy goings-on with COVID, and the constant changes in governmental regulations, testing requirements,and other related obstacles, our trip went off without a problem. Having never traveled to Africa before, such a trip can be fairly daunting, but Lion King Adventures was always available to answer all the questions we had, no matter how small or insignificant. The entire itinerary is customizable when you do a private tour. Every concern or problem we had was immediately addressed and resolved, and the trip was amazing to say the least. My wife has dietary restrictions, which Lion King went above and beyond by notifying all the lodges ahead of time, which was extremely helpful and didn’t cause any confusion when it came to breakfast,lunch or dinner. My wife and I would both highly recommend Lion King Adventures and would not hesitate to use them again for our next trip to Africa.

Hit the nail on the head.
Had a great time on the 3 Day Maasai Mara tour, I was fortunate enough to have Moses as my tour guide who made my trip really enjoyable with his positive attitude!
The food at the camp we stayed at was fantastic and had a really good time speaking with the locals in the area.
The transportation vehicle was great and was very pleased I opted for the land cruiser.

Very good service
The safari was great. Our driver was able to help us spot 4 of the big 5. The ride was smooth and comfortable in general. Would definitely choose the operator for our next safari as well. My only minor comment is that the additional cost for the Masai village visit that is in the programme but we had to pay to the villagers 10 dollars, and coerced to buy some souvenirs, donate to a primary school (the last one is not a complaint). This should have been clearly indicated beforehand. Otherwise very nice trip.

Completely satisfied with the guide, Simba. He is a well-prepared, funny guy. Highly recommend
We are beyond a great safari experience, we have been on a 2 day tour of the Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Parks. We were completely satisfied with our guide, Simba. He is a well-prepared, funny guy, he described in detail the behavior of all animals! Luckily we could see the "Big 5" of Africa. The food received during the tour was delicious, the accommodation was satisfactory in this price category.
Regardless, I can't give 5 stars because the airport pick-up time wasn't kept by the company despite what was agreed. After arrival to Arusha Airport on Day 0, we waited for about 30 mins for the driver, but he didn’t come, the company was unreachable both by phone and Whatsapp! We were forced to catch a taxi, the price of which was later at least compensted by the company...

The tour was organised in a right manner
We contacted robert. He cooperated starting from booking till end. When we went to the office at nairobi, he talked positively, solved all our confusions. Introduced a very good driver mr. JAMES. He is a man of good character having lot of human values. He is not only a driver but also an ornithologist. He made our tour a great success

Great Guidance & Trip
Everything went according to the plan and we completed the whole schedule without any problems.
Our guide CASTRO was super helpful and caring for us with a great guidance and tracking on the field. His commucation was so clear and made all things understanble and net for us.
The hotels and camp were not bad and didn’t lack for any issue but the standarts and quality is low as directly proportional for the price.
The food was good for all 3-meals and delicious enough.
Every tourist in the jungle is having the same trip with same route, with same experiences (animals&events) but with different standarts. The expensive tours have better cars with more comfort and visual angle and stay at more luxury places but everyone totally live the same experience!
According to your budget; the tour is satisfying enough for the standarts and i again gotta say, Castro our guide is a super guide.

Best guys.
The trip with Hight flying tours was an excellent experience. They offered us a few options of tours and they adjusted it to our requirements. We saw equator experience, gorilla tracking, batwa experience, amazing experiences in Murchison falls n.p.which excited me so much that I would like to become a ranger. And after all that they took us rhino trekking. They chose the best accomodations and restaurants.
Thank you for everything. I cant imagine it better.

They delivered all the promises as advertised and Mr CASTRO, the guide was a true professional.
We took a four nights and five days tour and it was overall very well conducted. The guide, Mr CASTRO was a true professional, friendly and he ensured that all the promises made by the tour operator were kept. It was overall good value for money. The Miti Mingi Camp was good but the accommodation at the other sites could be improved a bit. Overall it was an excellent Safari!!!
