Amazing staff
We have a great time with this Safari Agency. They are very professional. They take care of you as a mother would do. We have been extremely happy. Philip , the driver makes the best for us too see the animals and you will feel absolutely safe with him. Bernard is the teacher that you need when you're in the middle of the savanna. He takes care of you in all the details. George , the chef, cooks meals as you were in a good restaurant of Nairobi, even though you are in the middle of nowhere. And finally Mimo, who is the smile of Kenya, and will make you feel at home.
What's more for a very good price. We will choose this agency again in
If we travel again to Kenya. Thanks guys for everything.

Me and my friends we had a bless time in Masai Mara. The Driver, the cook, the travel assistant, the owner were very professional and friendly. The Safari and Game drive was beautiful and what I liked the most is the customer service and how responsive and friendly the Staff are. Highly recommended. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Thanks to Joseph instinct we could see ñus crossing the Mara River, an indescrivable moment that we never forgot. Thanks to Bencia for this unforgettable travel.

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.

A flawless, unforgettable adventure
Me and my wife did a 2 day safari with Qualified Tours Tanzania from Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We enjoyed every minute of it! We were on our honeymoon, and the tour operator even suprised us with a "Just married" car logo. It was so nice to see this on arrival. Our guide was Lameck, who told us a lot of information about the animals and the parks, but we also learned many things from him about the history of the areas we visited. Both our guide and the tour operator went above and beyond to make sure we have the maximum game viewing opportunities and time in both parks, which is really important on a short safari like this, but we never felt like we were rushing. Lameck our fantastic guide always made sure that we also have enough time to rest and to make photos. We saw all the iconic animals on our safari except leopard and cheetah. We even saw rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater with binoculars. Tip: if you go on a safari make sure you bring binoculars! Our best moments was seeing herds of elephants up close in Tarangire with one herd crossing the road just behind our jeep. Seeing the beatiful landscape of the Ngorongoro Crater and the crazy numbers of animals on the crater floor was also breathtaking. The accomodation at Hhando Coffee Lodge was fantastic, the staff, the room and the food was superb. This lodge is actually not inside the conservation area, but it is so close to the entrance of the Crater that you can reach it 10-15 minutes. This is a really important factor if you want to do an early morning start in the Crater. And the forests of Ngorongoro are also very close so you can hear some really cool sounds from your terrace at night. We even heard the whooping sound of hyenas at night which was fun, but dont worry they are far away! Wish we could have stay longer to explore this fantastic lodge a bit more. In summary i strongly recommend you both Qualified Tours Tanzania and our guide Lameck, we had a perfect experience. Wish we can do a longer safari with them in the future! Tip if you are on a holiday in Zanzibar and want to do a short 2 day safari: choose this tour, because you will see huge, guaranteed numbers of animals in these parks with the chance of seeing the Big Five, but you will also see the towns and beatiful landscapes of mainland Tanzania during your drive to the parks which was a nice experience for us in itself.

Unforgettable Experience
We planned a trip to Serengeti with a small group initially and ended up being a group of 8. Qualified Tours Tanzania was very cooperative and accommodating to include our whole group and provide us excellent service. The cars, accommodation and the drivers was all top notch.
Two drivers, Libe and Lameck were excellent with the service they provided. Very patient with our big group and showing us around the national park. Because of them we were able to see all the animals there are at Serengeti, including a Rhino. They were both very knowledgeable and big hearted.
I would definitely recommend this tour operator to my friends and family who want to visit Tanzania.

Well planned trip with experienced operator/guide
This is my first time to Africa and Rwanda - and I couldn’t be happier to travel with Golden Rwanda Safaris. Frank has been a delight since the beginning; answering my questions and giving me tips when it comes to packing for the safari. He’s always responsive, even when Rwanda was having its commemoration for the genocide.
I was lucky to travel with Taufique, who is friendly, fun and quick-witted. My hiking boots broke twice during a hike and he was able to quickly find a place to have it fixed, and made the rainforest trek to chimpanzees possible. Taufique is also determined and patient, when we’re in the safaris trying to spot all Big 5s and the other animals.
I truly enjoyed my time in Rwanda - the hotels, restaurants that they booked were superb, the car that they used is new and well stocked with drinking water, and the itinerary was well paced and not rushed. Recommended and hope to be back again!
