Best tour ever! Great service, food, stay & amazing game drives. I’ll definitely be back!
This is the best tour I’ve ever joined! From the pre-trip communication to the transport, meals, and accommodation—everything was seamless. The game drives were especially impressive and professional. I truly loved every moment and will definitely come back again!

Fantastic Safari Service
I recently went on a fantastic safari in Tanzania with Kihindo Tours and Safaris, and I was really impressed with how smoothly everything was organised. Winnie handled all the logistics - from transport to meals and accommodation - making the whole trip stress-free from start to finish.
Our journey started with a drive from our hotel in Dar es Salaam to the train station, followed by a 2-hour train ride to Morogoro, where we were met by KP, our friendly driver. He then drove us 2 hours to Mikumi National Park, while our luggage was taken ahead to the hotel so we could begin our safari straight away.
Our guide Danford was excellent; knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and very fluent in English. On Day 1, we had a full-day safari (around 9:30 AM to 6 PM) in an open jeep, with lunch provided inside the park. We were lucky to see a wide range of animals including zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, elephants, warthogs, buffalo, antelope, a snake and a lizard.
The hotel we stayed at was about 15 minutes from the park and provided both breakfast and dinner. Everything was comfortable and well taken care of.
On Day 2, we had another early start (7 AM to 4 PM) for more safari time. Since we had already seen so many animals on the first day, Danford made a special effort to find lions for us - and he did! We also visited a local Maasai tribe, which was a great cultural experience.
Day 3 was the journey back to Dar es Salaam, but even then, we were treated to a special moment — a family of lions on the road, with a lioness walking right next to our vehicle. A real highlight to end the trip.
Both KP and Danford were fantastic guides; professional, friendly, and full of insight. The whole experience was well-organised, relaxed, and enjoyable.
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I’d definitely recommend Kihindo Tours and Safaris.

Well organized photo safari, excellent accomodations arranged by Ozone Light.
We had an excellent guide with a keen eye to spot wildlife. He always kept in touch with other guides to make sure we got close to the best sights. We had a good schedule with early mornings and time to relax at the end of the each day.

Attentive
Me and my wife did the 7 days Kenya and Tanzania tour. Martin was our tour operator agent. He was communicative and responsive to all requests and doubts. The tour was well planned with him and all accommodations were excellent. The tour guide for the Kenya part, Nelson, was one of the best tour guide we have ever had. He was nice, communicative, and he was always explaining interesting facts about the animals. On the opposite side, the tour guide for the Tanzania part, Mackenzie, was not communicative and he should be more friendly to the clients (reason because of 4 star rating). All in all, we had a great safari, we saw the big 5 and many animals. I would choose again Shanjoy Tours for a safari

Magical experience
We had a magical few days exploring the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our sales advisor, Lambert took the time to understand what we wanted from the trip and tailored the trip to ensure it met our needs. We were really impressed with our accommodations, especially the ones within the Serengeti. Everyone at the hotels were so welcoming and accommodating. Our guide Hussein was always on time, and extremely knowledgable about the animals and vegetation. We experienced some minor issues, but Hussein looked to resolve them straight away which put us at ease. We had a few suggestion to further improve the service for future users which the tour company were more than happy to take on board. All in all it was a great experience, Hussein made every effort to ensure we saw the Big 5 and all other animals as close as possible. Hussein had an eagle eye and was able to spot animals from afar, and had an amazing way of talking to the animals, making them stop - giving us time to take the perfect shots. Beyond the safari, we have learnt more about the culture, language and people which has been fantastic. We would definitely recommend this experience and tour company - it was certainly great value for money.

Incredible 6 days Uganda tour
We booked our 6-day Uganda safari with Bamboo Ecotours, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. It was a bit last-minute, but Edison made it happen—super responsive, professional, and flexible. I traveled with my 16-year-old daughter, and now Uganda has stolen both our hearts. She’s already saying she wants to come back!
We started in Kigali, Rwanda and ended in Entebbe, Uganda, which made the journey even more special as we got to experience two countries in one trip.
Our guide John was simply the best—so friendly, kind, and full of knowledge. He told us stories about Ugandan culture, wildlife, and even about his own family, which made the whole experience feel incredibly personal. He made sure we were safe, comfortable, and truly immersed in everything Uganda has to offer.
The itinerary was perfectly paced. Highlights included:
• Gorilla trekking in Bwindi – surreal and humbling.
• Golden monkey trekking and Lake Bunyonyi – magical sunsets.
• Queen Elizabeth National Park safari and boat cruise – we saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and so many birds!
• Chimp trekking in Kibale – energetic and fascinating.
• Bigodi Community Tour – we helped cook a traditional Ugandan meal and even helped make local banana beer! This is an absolute must-do.
Every lodge was cozy and clean, and the food… wow! Fresh, flavorful, and full of local flair.
Uganda is a gem—lush landscapes, kind people, and unforgettable wildlife. We felt welcomed everywhere we went. Thank you John and Edison for making this a dream trip. Highly, highly recommend Bamboo Ecotours to anyone thinking about Africa!

Safaris that never disappoint!
In June of 2025 I went on my second safari in Tanzania with Kiliholidays, and it was even better than the first! The management took great care and a great deal of time to customize my 6-day safari to meet my needs, which included almost 4 days in the Serengeti. They had the patience to deal with dozens of messages and questions I sent prior to booking, and addressed all of my concerns. They booked us into the Embalakai tented camp in the Serengeti, meaning we were able to stay out on the game drive until it was almost dark. This made for excellent photo opportunities near sunset! Embalakai is a high-quality tented camp with amazing food and friendly staff. I believe that Kiliholidays provides very good to excellent accommodation and safari service at very competitive prices - it's one of the most affordable options out there, short of sleeping in campgrounds (which we did not do). The best part is that our guide and driver, Thomas, is extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and flexible: an all-around good man and a real pleasure to ride with for 6 days! Unless you want to spend thousands of dollars more, go with Kiliholidays and you won't be disappointed.

Bamboo Ecotours gave me an experience of a lifetime to visit trek and see the mountain gorillas
I did the 2 day trip from Kigali, Rwanda to trek in Bwindi National Forest with return trip back to the airport in Kigali. Amanya, my guide and driver, promptly picked me up at my hotel and was available for questions throughout. He drove safely through the pretty country towns of Rwanda and Uganda where I got to eat local food and see locals living life. He was funny and informative and I enjoyed my 5 hour drive with him. The Gorilla trek experience itself was amazing! The tour group and guide was enjoyable and I got to see the amazing apes up close and safely. I highly recommend this company for an amazing trip, good communication and efficient service.

Very reliable and honest and fast and easy responding experience! Highly recommend!
I am very satisfied with the whole experience, Mercy is such a great organiser and easy to reach and responds immediately to any questions! Just amazing. Also as first timers we went to Nairobi park, the Elephant Sanctuary and the Giraffe sanctuary with Sammy. He made the whole day such a joy, he kept us safe and even found us a pharmacy for an allergy attack. If you go on a tour, ask for him!!! Rest assured if you book with Mercy you get value for your money without any hassle and stress🙏🏼

Very generous and enthusiastic about his work.
Our tour operator Calvin is a very generous person, he helped us a lot during our trip. He also learned a lot of Chinese which make our trip more enjoyable. In short, Calvin really did a great job of helping us find animals, as well as bringing happiness into the whole journey.
