Superior communications,promptness, itinerary without surprises!
We have experienced travel to 79 countries BUT have never experienced a private excursion with so much content and organization! We were picked up at our hotel in Dar Es Salaam by Eddie right on time after being texted what to bring!(passport and all). Eddie (alias Honoratha Shirima) spoke excellent English and efficiently took us to train station right up to the customs agent!
We rode the train to Morogora (good seats were provided)! We emerged outside to see a sign with our names and Meshack met us and escorted us to the Kihindo Tour Van. He was cheerful, English speaking, stopped on the way so we could enjoy the sights and baboons! He drove us the 1.5 hour trip to Mikumi National Park. And when we arrived he walked us over to a safari jeep where we were introduced to one of the most enthusiastic tour guides I have met! Nuhu Ismail is about 20 years of age and studied Wild Animals at the University! He had one more year of graduate work to do but you could feel his enthusiasm as soon as we met. He and his colleague drove us into the park and his English was flawless! His enthusiasm never ending! He showed us animals, followed a pride of lions so we could really capture their activities, had us watch a mother elephant nurse her infant talking the WHOLE time of the reproduction of pachyderms!
Then we were treated to a wonderful buffet for lunch! He was so attentive and concerned about our comfort and service! After a beautiful lunch we spent many more hours exploring the park! He shared stories with us about medicinal use of plants in Africa! It was truthfully magical! This young man has so much potential I felt honored to be on this safari with him!( and we had already been on two other safaris! None that could beat this one!)!
At 5 pm our ride to the train station appeared like clockwork! We rode back to DarEs Salaam quickly on the train! There was a huge chaotic crowd and we had taxi drivers accosting us to be their passengers. We were a little frantic when out of the crowd steps Eddie to escort us to his car! Pure joy to see a familiar face!
What a day! Organized! No surprises! No hiccups! If you are thinking of a short memorable safari think Kihindo Tours and Safaris!
I know you can’t select your drivers and escorts but if you can think of requesting Nuhu Ismail you will always be happy you did! But when traveling in this region we will always call Kihindo Tours and Safaris!

What an amazing day!
Our guide Saloniki picked us up before the agreed time to take us to Mikumi Park. After less than a quarter of an hour, we were lucky enough to see lions fighting with their muffles, next to the hippos. A stunning spectacle! Very friendly and qualified, Saloniki was able to take us to magnificent places, where the show continued. A huge THANK YOU to him and to Kihindo Safari because this excursion was perfectly organized (including pick-up in Dar Es Salaam, overnight stay at Camp Bastian, meals, etc. etc. etc.)! Bravo 👏
