Bespoke, professional, responsive and very accomodating
Overall: absolutely fantastic company that catered to my changing mind very easily and I couldn't be happier. I'll go into detail about the tour operator and my guide.
Having discussed with Pilly the tour operator over WhatsApp my two day safari in the udzungwa mountains from Dar, which is already not the most common package available, she helped me cut cost to what was affordable to me. Later during the holiday I decided last minute on the night before my second day that I wanted to extend my trip to include a safari at mikumi. The next morning this was arranged, confirmed and paid for. I couldn't be happier.
My guide, Willy was a fantastic, welcoming, fun and informative guide. Im udzungwa he helped arrange multiple things including meals and multiple guides as well as keeping them happy. At mikumi he showed a wealth of knowledge of the animals, used his connections with the other guides and rangers to help locate the animals and had no trouble maneuvering the car over very tough terrain whilst simultaneously giving me the best angle to take photographs, all whilst having fun and a good time.
Special mention regarding the accommodation and food organised by the company:
Camp lilac at mikumi was by far one of my favourite safari/national park accommodations I've been to. Its still new and a bit further away from the national park but I adored the accommodation itself, really elegant large tents that have hardwood flooring with fantastic and very clean amenities. The rooms were so elegant and simple i loved it. They're currently building what I think will be a lobby of sorts or an eating area but for now I got to eat outside with a great view of the uluguru hills.
Where Willy took me and the guide for the udzungwas for lunch was by far the best meals I've had on safari. Often safari accommodation try to imitate western food for the western palate and whilst I understand it, I kind of hate it. This place had fantastic good samaki makange na wali na maharagwe and I LOVED it and their chicken was fantastic too.
Thank you so much for a fantastic time and my final message is if you like monkeys please do go to udzungwa and if you want to see the sanje mangabey id recommend doing two days at udzungwa and go on the njokamoni trail the morning of the second day.

Fantastic safari with Maarufu!
My son really wanted to come to Nyrere to see the wild dogs. Even though it’s not a great season for viewing, Maarufu tirelessly searched for us. And with great success! We were able to find the dogs as well as many other wildlife. He explained everything to us and was able to answer our questions, even when about small birds or different types of trees. He pointed out the interesting walking patterns of giraffes and elephants and many more interesting facts. He was even able to make the different animal calls to attract the animal’s attention. I would highly recommend going on safari with Maarufu and Kihindo. We had such a fantastic trip!

Very fun and knowledgeable.
I had Maarufu from Kihindo tours and safaris and it was an amazing experience. We spent 5 days, first night boat then three full days safari then left the last day. I told him I really wanted to see the wild dogs even though it’s one of the toughest seasons to spot them, and sure enough on the last day we found them and spent tons of time viewing them. Besides the wild dogs it was amazing because he was very knowledgeable and knew where to go and view certain animals.

Saloniki was a fantastic guide with deep knowledge of animals, nature and culture!
We did the 3-day tour in , and the trip was worth every penny!
The communication beforehand was excellent, so there were no questions left unanswered. The transportation was perfectly organized, and our guide, Saloniki, was simply fantastic. He didn’t just do his job — he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing and shared his extensive knowledge with us. Thanks to his great tracking skills, we saw three different groups of lions, several groups of elephants, zebras, buffaloes, countless giraffes, hippos, and almost all the animals that roam the park. Our expectations were exceeded by far.
We can wholeheartedly recommend this trip!

Noah and Jovan were very knowledgeable and had very good instincts on where animals should be
A very enjoyable tour. We explored a lot of Mikumi National Park and found nearly all species. We learned a lot about both animals and birds as well as the different national parks in Tanzania. We do recommend Noah and Jovan as guides

Fantastic safari. Went above and beyond
We had a great safari with Kihindo Tours. Michael was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable on the animals and history of Tanzania. And a fantastic driver through some hairy traffic!! He went above and beyond.
Everything ran to plan. They were there to pick us up at the scheduled time everyday. Met us at our hotel and dropped us off. Same with the train station to and from Morogoro.The accomodation and food was great.
We saw so many animals. I would recommend this tour operator

Excellent and highly recommended!
Booking the one day trip to Mikumi National Park from Dar es Salaam was really easy! The communication from Winfrida was excellent throughout and Maarufu, our guide, was super lovely making the game drive really enjoyable! We learned a lot from him about the wildlife. Mikumi National Park has lots to offer; it was above expectation!

The best Mikumi Tour operator!
Communication via WhatsApp was phenomenal. We were able to get our perfect overnight safari trip planned. Kihindo was very kind and timely with their responses to our questions. Everything was booked on our behalf, significantly lowering our worries about traveling.
Pickup/dropoff from the hotel and from the SGR station in Morogoro was convenient and we had no issues.
Yohana and Salonike were excellent tour guides. This was our first Safari/game drive, and I am confident it will be one of our favorites. We could not have asked for a better company or safari experience.

Welcoming and great tour organisation
The tour was very well organised, from beginning till the end. Our guides Nuhu and Fredy were the best, they showed us so many animals and gave lots of explanation on the nature and the park.
I would come back again!
