Amazing!
We did the 2 day 1 night safari in Mikumi and it was amazing.
First of all the booking team is great and will make sure to have the best possible journey thank you Pilly!
They took care of us all the way from the beginning pick up from the hotel to the SGR train to Mikumi and same for the back journey.
As for our guide Saloniki he was amazing and gave us a very memorable experience with so much knowledge about the animals. We saw them all in the 2 days and I told Saloniki how much I love lions the most and he did his best to find them and ended up seeing many which I’m so grateful for! He always ensured we are happy! Thank you Saloniki ❤️ he also ensured we have the most time to game drive and was so punctual!
As for the camp we stayed at camp lilac, the tented room is amazing and has everything you need in it I wish we spent more nights ! The staff was very nice as well.
Everything about this trip was just perfect, you would be missing out on an amazing experience if you don’t book with them ! I will be booking with them again for sure and recommending them, thank so much for this wonderful experience !

Absolutely faultless- perfection
We have been blown away by the experience we received using Kihindo!
The communication from Philly through has been excellent. The value for money aswell we couldn’t believe!! We have experienced some unfortunate things during our travels across Africa in the past and we were so blown away by how amazing you all were. The logistics even when we changed our plans with our luggage, was managed excellently. All of your staff were so friendly and helpful and on time.
Thank you to our driver who took us back to Dar- sorry we didn’t catch the name - with the Beard!
And our safari guide Danford- he made our game drives so special, giving us lots of facts about the animals, searching for lions all over for us each day, even though we had spotted the big 5 on day 1!
We will be highly recommending Kihindo to all our family, friends and beyond. Thanks for the best trip.

Great safari, even BETTER GUIDE!
We have just been dropped off at the airport by our amazing Safari Guide after an incredible 3 days in Nyerere National Park. We booked this trip only 2 days before arriving from Zanzibar, the prompt responses and communication (1am request & response) is why we chose this company, we received outstanding service before arriving for our safari, and altered the itinerary to suit our desires no problem at all.
The safari itself was incredible, such beautiful scenery, incredible wildlife, and quite often the only vehicle driving in much of the national park, which was amazing!
Our guide/driver's name was Michael (highly suggest you request), he was so knowledgable and went off-road driving in difficult conditions due to previous rains, to try find the animals we were keen to find. We felt so safe around the wildlife and on the roads in his hands. We only had 3 days with him which waa a shame as he quickly became a good friend. But we will sure be back and 100% be choosing this company and Michael for our future safaris, we recommend you do the same!
Thank you so much Michael, Pilly and the rest of the team at Kihindo! 🙏

Eric was so nice! All the Tour was really good organized.
We found the Kihindo Tours on Google and read a few rewievs about it and decide to book it. It was amazing!
We landed in dar es Salaam and slept a Night in a Hostel Near By. In the Morning Eric our guide picked us up und droved us to the nyerere national Park.
The Lodge was huge and lunch was directly Served. After that we had a boat Safari. The next day we started early in the Morning for the Game Drive. Lunchboxes were with us and we had always breakfast and Dinner! All of the staff from the Lodge were so nice and we really felt comfortable and they took good care of us! Everything was pretty good Organizee. Big big thanks to eric, he was so nice! We would Highly recommend Kihindo Tours! Also big thanks to pilly, she managed it all around. Thank you so much! Hakuna matata, asante sana! Greetings Sophie, Dave, Olli & celine

Horrible, be careful, it doesn't deliver the service you pay for.
Be careful, they don't provide the services you pay for. The conditions we paid for were not what they offered us once we were there. The water service, supposedly free, was a lie; they made us pay for it after the experience was over. The vehicle for the safari was completely different from the one you see in the pictures before we paid for the safari (the condition of the vehicle left much to be desired, and the one we booked was closed on the sides and open on top, and at no point did they provide us with what we paid for). You pay for a guide, and in our case, he didn't speak to us at all during the entire trip, nor did he offer us water all day (when, in theory, you're paying for a guide and for water during the trip). The only time he spoke to us more fluently was at the end of the safari to tell us his name and show us a QR code to rate him, in an aggressive way, as if we absolutely had to give him a good rating. On our first day visiting the Maasai village, we waited for over an hour, and when we finally arrived, they didn't even apologize. The food service was very poor; when we arrived for lunch, we were given a sandwich... They always under-served us. And they offered no solution. We want to claim a refund, but they haven't responded to any of our messages. We will not recommend Kihindo Tours to anyone we know.

Perfect safari
We used Kihindo for our private 4-day safari in Nyerere Selous National Park. Everything went great! From the first emails I contacted, I found the staff (Winnie and Pilly) very helpful in answering all my questions. Our driver and guide, William, stayed with us the entire safari, taking care of us throughout, in a very professional and kind manner. He was a fantastic driver on muddy roads, which were very difficult to drive on due to heavy rain. We saw many animals: crocodiles and hippos on the river tour and on the overland game drives we saw many giraffes, elephants, lionesses, zebras, and various types of antelope, wild dogs, and an incredible group of hyenas intent on devouring a hippo carcass. The guide's explanations about the animals and the enviroment were complete and interesting, starting from footprints to find them. The bush walk was also interesting for all the healing properties of the plants, explained by another "eccentric" local guide. The lodge was simple but surrounded by nature, with mongooses and squirrels running around the bungalows. It was very conveniently located near the park entrance, and the food was tasty and plentiful. I would recommend Kihindi and the guide William to anyone looking for the perfect safari!

Friendly
We had a different tour but it was cancelled. Then we found this one and from the very beginning they were really friendly and helpful. We had a 24/7 communication and everything was arranged very smooth. I want to thank 1: Transfer drivers (Meshack & Juhudi)
2: Guide in the park (Saloniki).
3: Accompany to the train station (Mercy).

Amazing 3 days Safari with our fantastic guide William
We did a 3 days private safari to Nierere Park with William. Everything was very well organised by kihindo Tours and Safaris (for instance transport and accomodation, Mloka lodge). Safari was fantastic, we saw so many animals, thanks to our incredible guide (William). He’s been always kind, available for any question and to explain us animals, plants, traditions of Tanzania. Personally speaking, one of the most beautiful experience in life!
