It was incredible
The tour is highly recommended! The guides really make an effort to make sure you get to see as many animals as possible. They are very friendly and attentive, and they always try to stop at the best spots so you can see the animals up close. They also share interesting information and facts about the animals along the way. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this tour to others. David and Saloniki were our guides, it was very funny with them
An Unforgettable Safari in Nyerere & Ruaha
I had an amazing safari experience in both Nyerere National Park and Ruaha National Park.
One of the highlights of this trip was finally seeing African wild dogs, which I had dreamed of seeing for a very long time. I was incredibly fortunate to see them in both Nyerere and Ruaha, and each experience was completely different and unforgettable.
In Nyerere, I was able to see a pack of African wild dogs from surprisingly close range. Seeing these beautiful wild animals right in front of me was truly an incredible experience. After dreaming about seeing them for so long, being able to observe them so closely in their natural habitat became one of the most memorable moments of my entire trip.
Our guide in Nyerere, Maarufu, was absolutely wonderful. When I told him which animals I wanted to see, he understood exactly what I was hoping for and worked incredibly hard to find them. He was very kind and knowledgeable, and whenever we found an animal I had been hoping to see, he seemed just as excited and happy as we were. It was clear that he genuinely loves wildlife and wanted us to have the best possible safari experience.
In Ruaha, we were guided by Michael and Dickson. They were also extremely friendly, attentive, and dedicated to finding the animals we were hoping to see. They listened carefully to our requests and put a great deal of effort into searching for wildlife.
Ruaha itself offered a completely different experience from Nyerere. The dramatic landscape, with rocky terrain, hills, and rugged scenery, was absolutely spectacular. Driving through such breathtaking scenery while searching for wildlife was an experience in itself.
One of the most unforgettable moments was seeing a pack of African wild dogs running through this spectacular landscape. In Nyerere, I had the incredible experience of seeing my long-awaited African wild dogs from close range, while in Ruaha, I watched them running freely through a breathtaking wilderness. The two experiences were completely different, but both were unforgettable.
Nyerere has its own unique beauty, with vast open landscapes and beautiful waterways where many animals gather. Ruaha, on the other hand, has a much more rugged and dramatic landscape, with constantly changing scenery as you drive through the park.
I was amazed by how different the two parks were, even though both offered an incredible safari experience in Tanzania. Each park has its own character and unique attractions, and I am very glad that I had the opportunity to visit both.
I would like to give a special thank you to our three guides, Maarufu, Michael, and Dickson. Wildlife is unpredictable, and of course there is never any guarantee that you will see a particular animal. However, they understood exactly what I wanted to see and worked tirelessly to make those wishes come true. Thanks to their dedication, I was able to see the African wild dogs I had dreamed about in both parks.
I would also like to sincerely thank the tour operator who arranged this safari according to my personal wishes. Rather than simply putting together a standard itinerary, they took the time to understand what animals I wanted to see and what kind of safari experience I was looking for. I believe that this personalized planning was a major reason why the trip was so satisfying.
The combination of spectacular landscapes, incredible wildlife, and, most importantly, such kind and dedicated guides made this a truly unforgettable safari experience.
Thank you so much to Maarufu, Michael, Dickson, and the tour operator for making this trip so special.
If I have the opportunity to visit Tanzania again, I would be very happy to travel with you again.

An Unforgettable Safari in Tanzania!
We spent five wonderful days exploring two of southern Tanzania’s most beautiful parks, Nyerere National Park and Mikumi National Park, enjoying an experience that will remain in our memories forever. The unspoiled wilderness, the incredible variety of wildlife, and the breathtaking landscapes made every day unique and exciting.
A special thank you goes to Micheal, who played a key role in making this safari such a success. His availability, expertise, and kindness made us feel comfortable at all times. With his enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to every detail, he turned a wonderful trip into a truly exceptional experience.
Micheal was always ready to respond to our requests, share his knowledge of the area and its wildlife, and go the extra mile to ensure that every moment was special. His friendliness and constant smile made all the difference.
I highly recommend this safari to anyone who wants to discover the wonders of Tanzania, including some of its less well-known gems compared to the famous northern parks.
A heartfelt thank you to Micheal for making this adventure so special!

Simply Fantastic
The tour was very well organized. They picked me up at hotel in Dar es Salaam, it was a long trip by car to reach Nyerere national park (but the views you find on the road are rewarding!) then we had a wonderful safari in the park and an unforgettable boat trip on the day after. The guide was so kind and full of information and details. The price, very honest.

Kihindo Tour & Safari lived up to our expectations! A true African Safari.
We chose Kihindo Tour & Safari in February, after reading the positive reviews of other users.
I contacted Pilly who was super helpful in accommodating all our questions and requests, and was able to recommend a complete Safari tour to Nyerere Park. We liked the park's diversity of landscapes and the different animals that live there.
But the most positive note was our splendid guide Maarufu, who satisfied our every request, allowing us to see all the animals possible, from lions to hyenas, hippos, giraffes, zebras, the wonderful elephants and others. His professionalism and knowledge of the park was invaluable.
We also want to underline the beauty of our lodge, the Mloka safari lodge, with its houses and the excellent food that it offered us every day. On the last evening, while we were having dinner, an elephant even came to wish us a good trip, a real spectacle.
We highly recommend Kihindo Tour and Safari!

Amazing experience in Mikumi
We had a fantastic experience in Mikumi National Park thanks to our safari guide Nuhu.
He is a young man, very kind, accommodating, and really friendly, which made us feel comfortable right from the start of the trip. He was professional, attentive to our needs, and always happy to answer our questions with patience and courtesy.
Thanks to him, the safari was even more enjoyable and memorable. His positive energy and warm personality made the whole day special from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Nuhu to anyone looking to enjoy a safari in Mikumi with a reliable, friendly, and passionate guide.
Thanks again, Fillo and Viki
