Beautiful Tour, great explanations, incredible nature!
Danford and Owen picked us up at 6:30 AM. It's very important to start early because that's when most animals are out and about. Within the first half hour, we had already seen lions, zebras, giraffes, buffalo, antelopes, and warthogs. Both guides explained a lot about the individual animals to us in very good English and were very accommodating of our wishes. It was especially nice that we had the whole car to ourselves. I was with a friend, so there were four of us in total with the two guides. They both gave their all to make our experience as wonderful as possible. We always felt very safe. The lunch was super tasty, the guides had water for us. They are also happy to take photos. So, the safari and the stay at Camp Bastian were a 12/10 for us.
We arrived by ferry and train. Due to the heat, it was quite strenuous, but we were well instructed for the way. Fortunately, you were taken from the ferry to the train station in about 15 minutes on foot, which worked out well.
We also found the price for the entire tour to be very reasonable, and the communication was great too. The only thing we found a bit disappointing about the payment was the following: we had paid a small amount up front, and the rest was to be paid on the spot. Unfortunately, we were not informed that cash payment is preferred. We wouldn't have felt comfortable walking around the entire island of Zanzibar, taking a ferry, and going through Dar es Salaam with about $1,000 in cash. We then opted for card payment, which cost 4% more.
That was a small minus for us, but we would book the safari again at any time and say thank you, especially to our guides Danford and Owen!!

A very nice tour with friendly guides
We had a wonderful day in Mikumi National Park with our Guides Danford and Owen. We saw lots of animals, including lions, elephants, and giraffes, and our guide told us lots of interesting facts about them. Overall, we can highly recommend this tour.
We also had a delicious lunch and water was available at all times.

Very helpful
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a 3 days / 2 nights safari trip, and everything was organised perfectly from start to finish.
The trip from Zanzibar to the mainland was very well arranged: on-time pickup from the hotel, smooth transfer to the ferry and train, and great support during all connections between the ferry and train. The transfer to the lodge was also very comfortable.
The lodge, located in the middle of the forest, was beautiful, authentic, and very comfortable. Lunch, dinner, and breakfast were excellent, with fantastic views from the hills.
The safari itself was amazing. We managed to see all the main animals, and our guide was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He shared a lot of interesting information, which made the experience even more special.
We are very happy that we chose Kihindo Tours and would definitely recommend them!

Excellent guides
We had a night safari in Mikumi National Park with guides Frank and Mussa. They were excellent in every respect. Well organised, hard working and very knowledgeable. We saw many more animals close-up than we could have imagined. Lions in particular were fantastic.
Today we returned for a day safari with Frank. He has extensive knowledge of all the animals and birds and shares interesting detail about every one. There was no question he couldn't answer. What a difference this makes. We saw so many elephants, zebra, giraffe, antelope, buffalo, wildebeest, hyena, vultures, oxpeckers, hippo, superb starling, lions (protecting a kill), warthogs, storks and so much else! Exceeded our expectations. If you need a guide, ask for Frank!
He's sense for the game drive was amazing. He assisted us alot in every. Thank you Saloniki
Game drives are always interesting when the driver makes you feel at home. Our guide made us feel at home. And gave us one of the best memories of our honeymoon.
