This was the best start we could have for our honeymoon-trip to Tanzania.
We were so happy about the guiding we had in Mikumi this month. Seeing Mikumi was an absolute bucket-list experience. BUt when you do so there are a few things that really matter.
The company designed and offered the safari in a very appealing way. And they delivered!
Every appointment were met according to what we had agreed on. And that started already with the welcoming and helpful support at the airport in Dar Es Salaam.
We felt safe all the way. That is so thanks to Thomas, our guide. He must be the best in the whole business. When you see lions multiple times in one day, he knows where to go and when. And he kept in contact with colleagues so we came to scenes other had found. His driving in challenging paths felt safe and with low risk. Thanks Thomas! That really meant a lot to us.
He explained and told stories, with balance. Not to little and not to much. That takes skills, and Thomas has a nose for this.
He made us see more than we imagined we could be able to see in 1,5 days. And he found Bastian where we stayed for two nights and he made them wellcome us in a wonderful way!
Thank you Thomas. And thank you Kima Adventures.

The best safari guide we could ever have asked for – thank you, Thomas!
From the very first moment we arrived in Arusha, we knew we were in good hands.
Thomas met us at the airport with the biggest smile and the coolest safari outfit (seriously — matching colors and a cowboy hat to top it off!). But what really stood out was who he is as a person: kind, calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Traveling as a group of seven, he made every single one of us feel safe, seen, and important from start to finish.
Our safari days were beyond magical.
In Tarangire National Park we saw our first zebras and giraffes, and Thomas shared so many fascinating facts about the animals and the landscape. He even surprised us with a beautifully set lunch right in the park — warm food, tablecloth, wine… eating in the middle of the savannah felt surreal.
Day two took us to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and honestly, it’s hard to put into words what that place feels like. Lions with cubs, elephants, rhinos, hippos, huge herds of wildebeest and zebra — all surrounded by mountains and fresh highland air. Thomas somehow always knew where to go, positioning the car perfectly so we could truly take everything in without ever feeling rushed.
Lunch that day was again something special: hot food, wine, and even freshly brewed coffee from beans grown near Mount Kilimanjaro — all while hippos grunted in the water nearby. Moments like that stay with you forever.
We stayed overnight at Karatu Villa Lodge and later Octagon Lodge, and Thomas joined us for dinners filled with laughter, stories, and reflections on everything we’d experienced. On our last evening he even gave a heartfelt thank-you speech, ordered champagne, and somehow turned the whole restaurant into a sing-along. It was such a beautiful way to end our adventure.
Beyond being an exceptional driver and guide, Thomas shared parts of his own life with us — his family, his home, his love for his country — which made the whole journey feel personal and meaningful. He didn’t just show us Tanzania; he helped us feel it.
We traveled via Zanzibar City and back again, but Thomas was the constant that made everything smooth, relaxed, and joyful.
If you’re considering a safari and want someone who truly cares, who knows the parks inside out, and who will go above and beyond to make your trip unforgettable — Thomas is your guy.
This wasn’t just a safari. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Thank you, Thomas — we’ll carry these memories with us forever.

Couldn’t have had a better Safari experience!!
My Safari experience was absolutely amazing and exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Thomas, made us feel so well taken care of. We had two full days of Safari, and Thomas had everything planned for us from start to finish, while still listening to our wishes and preferences.
Each day he brought a fantastic homemade lunch and wine. He arranged incredible hotels for us and even joined us for dinner and breakfast, which was so lovely. Thomas is a warm and kind person who made the Safari experience special and personal.
When we ran into travel trouble on our way home and our flight was canceled, Thomas immediately stepped in and made sure we got home safely!
If you want to go on safari without the stress of planning, yet still have a well-organized and fantastic trip, use Kima Adventures.
The overall experience was 10 out of 10
The whole experience has been good from start to finish. Thomas picked us up at the airport when we arrived in Arusha, and we knew right away that he was a good safari-guide (he turned out to be the very best). He reads the room and truly understands what we want and what we need. He is also very experienced and know every single corner of each national park, hotels, stores, tourist interests, etc. on the way. His knowledge about the national parks and wildlife is impressive, and every request we had was fulfilled with great success.
The package he put together for us suited us perfectly. Nice hotels/ lodges, safe and efficient transportation, the homemade food he made and brought on safari (with good wine and coffee as well), enough water throughout the day and perfect service all the time.
He also took good care of us while travelling. We were a group of 7 young girls, and we felt safe all the time.
He also saved us when our flight back got cancelled, and no one at the airport could help. We called him and asked for help for transportation, and after 10 minutes he had fixed the whole trip (8 hours drive) back. This was after his work originally was finished.
We only have positive things to say about the company and our fantastic guide, Thomas. When I am going back to Tanzania for safari, I will definitely book through Kima Adventures and ask for Thomas. And you should as well!

Amazing safari experience! Thomas is the best guide!
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience in Tanzania, and a huge part of that was thanks to Thomas. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised and completely stress-free.
Thomas went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of at all times. Every meal was arranged seamlessly, and we never had to worry about a single detail during the trip. His professionalism, local knowledge, and warm personality made the entire experience even more special.
What truly stood out was how much he cared, even beyond the safari itself. When we got stuck in Arusha on our way home, Thomas didn’t hesitate to help us. He went out of his way to arrange a driver so we could get home safely — something we really appreciated after such a long journey.
If you're considering a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Thomas enough. He is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to making your trip unforgettable.
Thank you, Thomas, for an amazing experience!

Great adventure
We had a wonderful trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our guide, Thomas, knew exactly where to go to see the different animals and thanks to him we saw lots of the big five, and so many others. He also had so much knowledge about the animals and the nature! We got enough time to just observe and enjoy the moments and he was so good at positioning the car so we got a good view and good pictures. So happy that we got to spend the whole day (7am-7pm) looking for animals, with a great lunch in the middle. A great adventure with a great guide!

An unforgettable safari with a dedicated guide who made every moment special
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience and couldn’t be happier. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely interested, and took his time to make sure we got the most out of the day. He never rushed us and made sure we had the best possible views and experiences. Thanks to his effort and expertise, we were also very lucky with the animals we saw. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommended!
