Incredible Mikumi safari with Kihindo Tours—great value, stunning wildlife, and fantastic guides!
We had an excellent safari experience with Kihindo Tours to Mikumi National Park. Our driver, Peter, and our guide, Salonikei, were not only highly professional but also incredibly knowledgeable and kind.
They taught us so much about Tanzania—its wildlife, landscapes, culture, and traditions. Peter made the journey comfortable and enjoyable, even stopping to let us try local fruit like fresh pineapple and coconut water. Salonikei’s ability to spot animals and explain their behavior made the game drives fascinating.
We saw a wide range of animals in their natural habitat and felt safe, informed, and well taken care of throughout the trip. The experience was also great value for money.
Highly recommended—especially with this fantastic team. Thank you, Kihindo Tours!

Unforgettable safari with Kihindo Tours—wildlife, culture & amazing guides Peter and Salonikei!
We recently went on a safari trip to Mikumi National Park with Kihindo Tours, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, smooth, and tailored to our needs.
A huge thank you to Peter, our driver, who made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. He was punctual, friendly, and always ensured we were well taken care of, even during long drives. And our safari guide, Salonikei, was nothing short of amazing! His deep knowledge of the park and the animals made the whole experience incredibly rich and exciting. He spotted animals we would have never seen on our own and explained everything with passion and patience.
Our driver Peter and safari guide Salonikei were more than just professionals – they were amazing teachers. We learned so much about Tanzania’s wildlife, culture, traditions, and local life throughout the journey. Their passion and knowledge added so much depth to the entire experience.
Thanks to them, we saw elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and so much more – up close and in their natural habitat. It was truly a dream come true.
On top of all this, the trip was great value for money. Everything was well-organized, and the service we received far exceeded our expectations.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Kihindo Tours. Ask for Peter and Salonikei, they will make your trip one to remember!

Very friendly and professional
I did this safari with my wife and my daughter who’s 9 years old. We thank the whole staff who are true professional especially Michael our guide. All logistics worked flawlessly , (pick up, boat cruise, etc)and the lodges were superb including food. The way to Reserve from Dar es Salaam is about 4 hours with bad road but finally it was an amazing experience ! Maybe we had good fortune we have seen many animals and beautiful birds. It’s unforgettable ! We thank you again.

Magical, Authentic and Unforgettable !
Still feeling nostalgic about my trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar last May...!!
A huge thank you to the entire local team, and especially to Isaya and Kapende, for this absolutely magical experience!
This journey exceeded all my expectations: a rich and well-crafted itinerary, blending wild nature, meaningful encounters, and relaxing moments. We were a small group of six travelers, which made the experience all the more friendly and smooth, traveling together in one vehicle always accompanied by our incredible guides.
The safaris gave us unforgettable scenes: majestic lions, entire families of elephants, giraffes, zebras, ... and of course the famous "Pumbaa" and "Timon" ! All in the middle of breathtaking landscapes.
It was also the cultural and human moments that truly left a mark on me — like visiting Stone Town in Zanzibar or our immersion in a Maasai village in the heart of Mikumi National Park in Tanzania.
I was touched by the kindness of everyone we met along the way, the beauty of the accommodations that blended with the local culture and natural surroundings, and above all, the constant feeling of being safe and well taken care of.
We discovered also the famous way of life: Hakuna Matata!!
A special mention to our guide Isaya, whose kindness, positivity, and knowledge shaped each of our days, and to Kapende, our amazing driver, always smiling, highly experienced, and the source of so much laughter! You two are truly a golden duo and made this trip even more meaningful.
Thank you Kihindo Tours !! I return with stars in my eyes and unforgettable memories 🌍💛

William is a very patient guy with extensive knowledge and great sense of humor.
That was an extraordinary experience full of animals, joy, lots of knowledge and most importantly a special shoutout to an amazing guide William! Thanks to him we’ve seen giraffes, zebras, gnu, impalas and other antelopes, baboons, crocodiles, hippos, buffaloes, warthogs, elephants, velvet monkeys and plenty of birds including eagles! We’ve also learned about a local flora. William gave us all the information we needed. He was very attentive to our needs and made a great effort to show us as many animals as possible from best angles. The program was great and included a boat safari, game drive safari and a walking safari. We had such a blast ❤️

Exceptional tour, definitely recommended
The safari was excellent and perfectly organized. The Agency (Kihindo) was always professional and responsive. Michael (our driver and guide) was truly exceptional. He was definitely passionate about his job and really knowledgeable. We managed to see so many animals and took so many pictures. Michael was always on time and available to help. Accommodation and food were both excellent. Easy communication with them since the booking. Definitely a tour and agency I strongly recommend!

Amazing experience
I absolutely loved the experience—everything was perfect! My friend and I were staying at the Holiday Inn in Dar es Salaam, and our driver picked us up at 5 a.m. to take us to the train station. The tickets had already been arranged for us, which made things super convenient. The train ride to Morogoro took about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Once we arrived, another driver was already waiting with a very comfortable car. The drive to Mikumi National Park took around two hours, mainly due to heavy truck traffic on the road.
Our safari guide was ready and waiting when we got there, and we immediately started the morning game drive. We saw so many animals—more than I expected! Giraffes, zebras, lots of elephants, hippos, two female lions, wildebeests, warthogs (Pumbas!), and more.
After that, we had a delicious lunch and then continued with the afternoon game drive. When it ended, our driver was there to take us back to the train station, where we waited for our train back to Dar es Salaam. Upon arrival around 10 p.m., another driver was ready to bring us back to our hotel.
It was a long day, but absolutely worth it! Communication throughout was easy and smooth—they stayed in touch with us via WhatsApp the whole time. Also, the cost of the tour was a bit lower than others I had compared, which was a nice bonus.

Affordable, intimate, personalized safari experience
I did the 3 day Nyerere tour with Kihindo and it was more than I could’ve dreamed! I was looking for a private tour that was also budget friendly and fit into a smaller time frame .. this tour was that and more. From the planning with Winnie to our amazing guide Michael (we love you guys!) and trainee, it could not have been a more personalized amazing experience. Winnie even helped me plan a birthday surprise. Michael was super accommodating any time we wanted to stop on the drive and answer the millions of questions we had at all points. The accommodation provided was SO incredible, the food was great and the employees were so sweet. On the safari itself we saw ALL the animals wanted (zebras, elephants, giraffes, hippos). Michael even made sure we saw the lions which are never a given to see! We also had the pleasure of doing a boat tour and saw hippos and got to visit a Masaai village before heading back to Dar es salaam. This was such a special trip and I wish I could thank you guys a million times
