Exceeded every possible expectation
From the moment we wanted to book the safari, the Kihindo team were very helpful answering all our questions and making us feel assured about the decision.
They picked us up from Dar es Salaam airport and as we were running a little late to catch the train, they did everything possible to make sure we get on the train. Every member of staff was very friendly and helpful. But once we reached the actual safari it went to the other level.
Our guide Saloniki created very comfortable environment and made sure we were on the same page, about what’s going to happen, from the beginning. As we read before that November isn’t the number one month to see all the animals, we had acknowledged that it may happen that we won’t be able to see all animals we would like. But Saloniki made that happen. He took us exactly to the animals we had wished to see for - lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos and all the antelopes, buffaloes.
Throughout the safari he always did like we had asked and took our wishes into account.
Once we arrived to our accommodation, the Camp Lilac, the staff welcomed us with arms wide open, singing and dancing to us. And the cabin is nice and the dinner is pretty romantic ;)
In conclusion the Kihindo team have exceeded our expectations and made this trip incredible. The biggest value we’d say are the people we’ve met during the safari.
Thank you Saloniki and all the Kihindo team for the effort! We would 100% all heartedly recommend everyone to book a safari with them.

Calm, respectful wildlife experience with a gentle, nature-aware and thoughtful guide.
We had an outstanding experience. Our guide was incredibly respectful — both towards nature and towards us as highly sensitive travelers. He explained everything with great clarity, chose calm and non-intrusive approaches to the animals, and ensured that every encounter felt natural and relaxed. Thanks to him, we enjoyed a peaceful, deeply enriching wildlife tour that we can wholeheartedly recommend. Thank you our new friend Good bless

An unforgettable, seamless Mikumi safari with amazing wildlife and an incredible guide.
We booked a 2-day, 3-night safari with Kihindo Safari & Tours as part of our honeymoon, and it was absolutely incredible. We chose Mikumi National Park to stay close to the coast before continuing on to Zanzibar, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish.
From airport pickup, to the train drop-off, to the car pickup in Mikumi, and finally our safari transfers and game drives, everything was handled so smoothly. The team kept us informed the whole time and made traveling between locations effortless.
The food in Mikumi was delicious, and we truly felt taken care of.
We spent our first night at a newer lodge that’s still finding its footing — it’s nice, but it currently advertises itself as something a bit more polished than it truly is. For our second night, we stayed at Camp Bastian, and wow — it was amazing. No wonder the tour company recommended it!
Our guide, Danford, was fantastic. He and the other guides stayed in communication throughout our game drives, which meant we were always able to quickly find wildlife. We saw a lion right after a wildebeest kill with her cubs, plus elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, wildebeests, impalas, monkeys, and warthogs.
If you’re short on time but still want a wonderful safari experience in Tanzania, I highly recommend this tour and company. Worth every penny! It was the perfect start to our honeymoon and an experience we’ll never forget.

Informative, caring and kind
We really loved the day trip to Mikumi National Park!❤️☀️ The tour operator Winfrida gave us all the information couple days before the trip which helped a lot. During and after the trip, she asked how we are doing and did we get home safe, so kind! In the morning 4:50AM our driver Eddie picked and drove us to the train station in Dar. Adam was waiting us in Morogoro and drove us to the Mikumi National Park, where our tour guide Jackson was waiting.
We got to see a lot of different animals during the day: buffalos, elephants, giraffes, hippopotamus, lions, antelopes, zebras, monkeys, many birds etc. Jackson told us a lot of facts about the animals, their environment and about Mikumi National Park itself. He was super nice and funny to spend the day with! We ate buffet lunch and took some pictures with the tree of life.
In the afternoon Jackson brought us back to Adam. On the way to the train station, he wanted to show us a local woodworking and painting shop to buy some souvenirs. After that we started heading back to Dar where Eddie brought us back home.
Thank you all so much for an unforgettable day! ❤️

No doubt we can recommend Kihindo Tours
We made an unforgetable trip which was well organized and performed from the start in Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi NP and to Udzungwa Mountains NP. Our guides Nuhu and Salonikis were always on time, answered all of our (many) questions with a lot of interesting details about all the animals, plants and the country and its residents. And both of them are such nice guys! If we ever do a safari again, it will hopefully with guides like Nuhu and Salonikis. Thanks again guys for making our first safari a memorable experience.

Shine in life like Shine and drive like Jackson!
I recently went on a safari tour in Mikumi National Park, and it was an unforgettable experience! The park itself is stunning — wide open landscapes, beautiful light, and an incredible variety of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, wildebeest, and even a group of hippos relaxing
In the water.
The guides Shine and Jackson were excellent – friendly, clear, and very knowledgeable. They spotted wildlife easily and shared fascinating information about each species. The tour was well organized, comfortable, and respectful of nature.
The only part that could be better is the long eay fron Dar es Salaam but you can have it perfect.
I recommend this safari to anyone visiting Tanzania — great wildlife, great guides, and a truly memorable adventure!

Reliable, friendly, flexible
We booked our safari with Kihindo, and it was very smooth from the beginning. They always gave fast replies to all questions and all guides were super friendly. Because of the elections it was unstable in Tanzania at the moment of our planned safari, however it was easy to contact them and get all the changes we needed to be able to go to our safari anyways. No surprise costs, everything was exaktly as described, highly recommend!
Medium service !
The experience was been good, the transfer perfect, the hotel the room was good, the service was poor.
The safari was been very good, staff 5 stars.
Quality/price expensed.
