My grandsons first holiday in Kenya.
What can I say. Absolutely fabulous. From the very first communication with Annette, to being dropped off at the airport by Enoch. This company is superb. The reason for the trip to educate my two grandsons, age 9/11. Far better than sitting in a classroom. Annette kept us inform at every stage of the booking process. Recommended the best hotels, for our needs.. I must say that the hotels were in the superior bracket, and wonderful. The food and staff where second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Our boys were well looked after. The hotels Mara Game Lodge and Lion Lodge. Our driver Enoch was a delightful man, very caring. A very safe driver and amazing guide. The amount of wildlife we encounter was truly overwhelming. Lastly please may I thank you both for being such lovely people, and wish the company all the luck in the world, for your continuing success.

Excellent guide and wonderful experience
We booked our safari of the Selous Game Reserve with Kihindo Tours in 2019, for 4 days and 3 nights. The safari with kihindo was an incredible experience, thanks to our young but very experienced guide Isaiah. During our safari, our gide made sure to do everything to find all the animals we wanted to see,and did not stop looking until he found them all, and then took the time to explain in details all there is to know about every species and to answer all of our questions.
We highly recommend Kihindo Tours for safari bookings for the excellent quality of service, the best value in the area and for the great people we encountered on our journey.

Wonderful safari in Selous
We are a family of 5 including 3 children and we went on a 3 day 2 night safari in Selous.
It was a great stay and so different!
All the organisation was very well done and the programme was respected. Good value for money for the service.
Our guide Isaya and her driver Otto were fantastic, giving us lots of information about the animals and their way of life.
Unfortunately we did not get to see any lions but all the other animals were there!
Thank you to them for a wonderful 3 days with them.
We loved the 3 types of safari: boat, 4x4 and walking.
We highly recommend Kihindo Tours to organise your safari in Tanzania!

Great for solo budget backpackers
I did the 4 day safari february 9-12 although the stated itinerary changed right from the beginning I still got to do everything in the itinerary, I was passed around a bit with other safaris but they were all great. As my guides I got Bonifas and Patrick which were just great. I saw everything: Leopards, Cheetahs, Elephants, Lions, Rinos white and black, Giraffes, Hippos, Hyenas, Zeebras, Savanah Cat, and a ton of different antelopes and birds. They get you right up close to the animals too, everything and more that I wanted to see. The weather if February was good, it rained a bit but only at night and was bright and sunny for all the game drives and the savanna was a nice green.
The food and accommodation was ok to good, better than I was expecting for the budget I was on.
They even dropped me off at Lake Naivasha instead of Nairobi so that I could do Hells Gate on my own, if you do this you can camp on the lake at one of the camps, I camped at Fisherman's Camp, from there it's about 5k to the entrance of Hells Gate.
One of the changes they did was that instead of starting in the Masai Mara I first did Lake Nakuru and if you can manage it this way it's great because it builds up to the Mara which is by far the best part of the safari

Highly recommended, professional tour operator
Isaya is a very friendly and easy guide to communicate with. In the weeks before the safari, questions were answered very quickly.
At our pick up in Dar es Salaam we were told that Isaya wouldnt guide us these days, bcs of another booking. This was a bit of a surprise for us. Instead we got Gaston, who turned out to be a great match for us!
Kihindo offers great value for money and the accomodations we stayed in during our Mikumi trip were very good. We even got an upgrade as the standard room in the national park had only a queensize bed and not a seperate one for our 4 year old.
Mikumi was an alternatieve for us as we initially planned for Selous. Due to the wet season Isaya adviced us to go to Mikumi to be able to see more animale.
Thanks for an unforgettable trip Kihindo tours!

Highly recommended. Above
Our visit to Mikumi with @KIHINDO tours and safaris was very special. Although it was rainy season we saw plenty of animals, including lions, elefantes, etc… I highly recommend to book through them if you really want to have a great experience. Our guide @Kihindo_isaya made the difference. He is a polite, trustworthy and very professional person. Asante sana Isaya.

It was a incredible experience
In Dar es Salaam we were picked up by Isaya from Kihindo Tours, and after a 6 hour journey we arrived in Makumi. There we started the 3-day safari tour. Isaya knew a lot about the animals. We saw all the animals we wanted to see. We saw several lions eating a zebra, which was definitely the highlight. Just like the rare leopard, which we saw twice. Isaya certainly contributed to this beautiful trip! It was a great experience not to forget! Thank you Isaya.
