Fabulous
We had an amazing time on the full day safari and the waterfalls hike. The transfers were so smooth and efficient, staff very kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. We met some inspiring people who gave us a beautiful insight into their culture. Always so quick to respond to messages too! A trip that was well worth the money and the hype, would highly recommend.

Very well organised and extremely enjoyable tour!
First of all, the tour was extremely well organised. The second I was picked up from my hotel, I didn’t have to worry. My guide, Saloniki, took care of me the whole day! He got me as close as possible to all the animals, lions, zebras, giraffes, etc, and told me lots of interesting facts I didn’t know! Got some great photos and had a fabulous day! Big shout out to Saloniki and the Kihindo Tours team!

An unforgettable experience
Me and my girlfriend have just done a 2 night 3 day safari with Kihindo Tours and it was incredible, we saw so many animals on both the game drive and the boat safari. William our guide was so kind and knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the animals. The lodge and the food were also outstanding. I highly recommend this tour company.

Four Days, Two Parks, One Incredible Safari Adventure
We did a four-day safari visiting two national parks: Mikumi and Ruaha. Mikumi is beautiful, but Ruaha truly preserves the wild and authentic soul of Tanzania. Everything exceeded our expectations — from logistics to staff, from accommodation to the quality of the food. Parks were breathtaking, the car was safe and comfortable, and we always had plenty of cold water available.
Staff & Organization
The organization was impeccable — we always felt guided, safe, and supported. Winnie assisted us remotely before and throughout the trip: she was kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful in shaping the best itinerary for us.
Michael, who picked us up in Morogoro, made our experience truly unforgettable — his presence, kindness, and deep connection with the land transformed the trip; without him, it simply wouldn’t have been the same.
Israel, our guide in Mikumi, is warm and very experienced, with a genuine love for nature and wildlife.
Danford, our driver in Ruaha, is a talent behind the wheel — passionate, sharp-eyed, and incredibly skilled at finding animals. He’s also a great person to talk to and share stories with.
Accommodation
All the places we stayed at were clean and welcoming, with excellent staff. The camp inside Ruaha may need some renovation, but it felt safe and offered a truly immersive experience. The final lodge, perched on a hill overlooking the park, was exceptional — newly built, peaceful, with stunning views of the sunset over the savannah.
Program Overview
The tour began in Dar es Salaam, where we were picked up early and brought to the train station for a 1.5-hour ride to Morogoro. There, Michael welcomed us with a spacious and comfortable 4x4, fully stocked with cold water. We headed to Mikumi National Park and met Israel, who guided us through our first safari where we spotted elephants, giraffes, and lions under a magnificent sunset. That night we stayed just outside the park in a cozy and stylish lodge.
The next morning, we set off for Ruaha. Despite a delay due to a road incident, we arrived in time for an evening game drive with Danford — possibly the best driver we’ve ever had. Just 30 minutes in, we came across a group of eleven lions feeding on a giraffe — a powerful and emotional experience that brought us face to face with nature’s raw reality.
That night, we slept in the heart of Ruaha. After the initial thrill of knowing we were surrounded by wildlife, we felt perfectly safe thanks to the on-site ranger.
The next day started at dawn and was packed with sightings, including a leopard resting under a tree beside its fresh antelope prey. Ruaha’s vast herds of elephants and incredible biodiversity made it a true highlight of the trip.
We spent the final night in a spectacular lodge with panoramic views over the park — the perfect place to reflect and enjoy one last African sunset before heading back the next day.
