Great! Everything was brilliant :)
We are very, very happy that we chose exactly Kihindo Tours and Safaris.
Everything was great, both the service and the price. The price is really great for what this tour has to offer.
The guide himself is a very nice person who took great care of us. On the safari tour we experienced exactly what we expected and even more.
We spent 3 days and we will always remember these days. The animals and nature there are fantastic. We saw everything we wanted and more :) We saw lions and elephants, the giraffe even one meter away. No need to go to such a Serigeti on a safari to see all the animals, because it can also be seen by Mikumi. We recommend choosing this service and we guarantee that you will not regret it :) We spent 15 days in Tanzania and we remember the safari most vividly. We recommend that you take the Game drive programm - thats be great.
After this tour, we have the impression that we have even become good friends with Kihindo. Thank you!

Adorable - professional - respectful
One of the most beautiful trips I have ever done .
Extra miles give you a secure ride among the most beautiful parts of Kenyan Nature and landscapes .
Our tour Guide Graham and his colleague Flada were such an amazing company. Beautiful people inside - out .
We saw the most beautiful flora and fauna . All animals such as mammals , birds , hippos, giraffes !
I really recommend visiting Kenya , but most importantly choosing Extra Miles , in order to live the true Kenyan culture .

Budget safari tour of excellent standards
Budget safari tour of excellent standards. You spent 2 nights in a nice hotel/lodge, and 3 nights in safari campsites, where you are guaranteed the most beautiful sunrises. The food is so tasty and varies from every meal! (beer + wine is also included :)) - both the guide/driver and the chef were so kind, open and helpful with everything, you might need. I am diabetic, and thus I was worried that I could not keep my insulin cool and safe during the day. However, there is a little fridge in the vehicle, which was perfect for storing my medicine - it was genuinely an incredible experience, that you don’t want to miss out on!

The best of the best outfitter!!
I had a quarter life crisis and booked this trip four weeks prior to start date. Great Lake Expedition from the get-go was 10/10 with their communication and support leading up to the trip. Every single staff member is phenomenal at what they do. I personally appreciated the support shown prior to leaving the hotel for the mountain where an equipment check is done to ensure you will have everything you need for the trip. The rental equipment is top quality and I ended up renting a sleeping bag, trekking poles, and an extra jacket. It feels counter-intuitive to pack such cold-weather gear for Africa but I am telling you it is COLD COLD COLD after Day two. My best tips for summit night is to have a downloaded playlist with motivational music, a downloaded David Goggins podcast or any other podcasts that pre-occupy your mind.
Our guides William and Jocky were 10000% professionals and so helpful and caring. Our waiter Swalehe was always looking after every need, The porters were extremely kind and athletic. Another tip is to bring extra snacks, I loved being able to share my candy and granola bars with the team as a small token of gratitude to the hard work they put in to make out trip memorable.

Traveling with a man who knows his country, its history and nature, and will joke around a lot!
When we booked with ABCS, we had no idea what to expect. But let me assure you: this locally organized and operated company (which was important to us, no foreign investor middle-man) will make you feel very special and give you a tour you won’t forget!
We traveled for almost 5 days with Endeni, who knows everything there is to know about Tanzania, nature and the wildlife. He’ll take care of you when you need to mark your territory in the wild and the African road massages were the best ! (You’ll get it once you’ve been there ;) ). We also talked a lot about life and family as it works in our country (Switzerland) and Tanzania. Very interesting exchange with a good new friend! Also, Endeni and the other guides are in constant contact to each other in order to find the best spots with the rarest animals all the time on your safari. You’ll be in great hands and are up for the best possible experience.
The company is very reliable, answers quickly and the money transfer worked out perfectly. The accommodations are all clean, the food is very good and whenever there are potential dangers (animals) near your sleeping site you’ll be accompanied by Massais to your room. You’ll be safe all day long.
All in all: highly recommend!

Excellent...Highly recommended!
I would highly recommend travelling with Lance and Kirsten. What an exceptional team! Always ready to go the extra mile. Lance and Kirsten are kind, patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for what you taught me Lance. What an awesome safari. Panthera Photo Safaris also play a big role towards the ani-poaching of Rhino.

Fantastic service and excellent Tour
We are just back from an incredible few days in Pilanesberg booked via MMilo Tours, and I cannot recommend them enough.
From the time of enquiry Patrick was very responsive and detailed, and personalised the packages he had to meet our requirements, with a very short notice (it was a last minute trip planned with only a couple of weeks of advance).
We had an issue with our flight into JNB on the day of departure and had to make some tweaks to the plan - Patrick was extremely helpful and made it very easy to adjust the trip, making it so much less stressful for us.
Norman was our guide - extremely professional, knowledgeable and a very pleasant company. He was easy to contact and responsive before and during our stay, making the all experience seamless and worries-free.
The safari lodge MMilo proposed to us as an alternative to the one we enquired for - which was fully booked - was also excellent (Tshukudu Bush Lodge).

A great experience from beginning to end
While we booked based on cost I don't know how a more expensive trip with a different tour operator could have delivered more. Our guide, Richard was the nicest guy and knew so much about the animals. We saw so many animals. I think we saw 35 lions between the three parks we visited.
A recommendation to anyone thinking of booking a trip... we booked a jeep and those things go through anything. We said repeatedly how glad we were not to have booked a van, it would have struggled in spots. So spend a little extra on the jeep and you will be glad you did.
