The Experience of a Lifetime🥹❤️
This 3-day safari in Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater was without a doubt the highlight of our entire trip. I went with my sister, two of her friends, and her boyfriend, and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. We also visited Zanzibar, but the safari was so incredible that we almost forgot about everything else.
We were extremely lucky and saw so many animals, including the Big Five. Zebras, Wildebeests, lions, Elephants, Warthogs, Giraffes, Eagles , Hyenas, Flamingos, Baboons, Hippopotamuses and so many more. We even saw a Leopard just one meter away from our car, Rhinos, and Cheetahs. Moments like these are truly once in a lifetime.
Waking up early every morning before sunrise was totally worth it. The animals are more active at that time, and we were rewarded with amazing sightings and beautiful sunrises. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking and will stay in my mind forever.
Sleeping in the middle of the savannah, hearing the animals at night, was scary but at the same time incredibly exciting. It made the whole experience even more special. Both the hotel and the tented camp were amazing, comfortable, and well organized. The food was also very rich, tasty, and exceeded our expectations.
Our driver and guide, Joseph (Rasta), was truly one of the best parts of this trip. He has been doing this for over 10 years and you can really see how much he loves his job. He was extremely knowledgeable and answered every question we had, no matter how complicated. The way he explained things made everything easy to understand and unforgettable. On top of that, he was funny, friendly, and made us feel safe and comfortable all the time. Without him, this experience would not have been the same.
The safari vehicle was very comfortable and spacious, and we had no problems at all during the trip.
If you are thinking about doing a safari, I highly recommend choosing this 3-day experience. It’s the perfect amount of time to truly live the savannah, learn about the animals, nature, the country, and its people, and feel how small you are inside this huge, beautiful world.
This trip was a birthday gift to myself and a lifelong dream come true. I would 100% do it again with the same company and the same guide, Joseph Rasta.
Words and photos are not enough to describe how beautiful and emotional this experience was. It will stay in my heart forever. ❤️

exciting and good quality
The safari with Kihindo Tours and Safaris was a great experience. Everything - from the meeting at the airport before the safari, to the transfer to the hotel after, was a good team effort. I really liked the place to stay - Lilac lodge! Such peace and quiet with a view of the mountains. The tent itself - great, with all the amenities. The safari jeep for two people - luxury! We saw many different animals, lions and elephants - so incredibly close that it even became a little scary. The guides - Danford and Owe made this day a great adventure for us.

Professionel, friendly and accommodating
Everything was really great and that we enjoyed our time at Mikumi NP & game drives a lot !! The organization of the tour, and upfront communication with Steven was great, Steven was very friendly and reliable and even organized a Taxi from the airport on the day before starting the Safari, and the ferry ticket to Zanzibar right after the trip!!
Naza, our tour guide at Mikumi, was a great guide, friendly, funny and knowledgeable, and we were able to see all the cool animals - including lions (a family with babies ☺️)👍
I definetly recommend this tour with KimaSafari!! Thanks a lot for the great time!👍😊

Perfect safari
A Tanzanian safari is a must-do experience! The luckiest thing about this Tanzanian safari was meeting the incredibly professional guide, Assad! He was professional, patient, experienced, and had exceptional animal-finding skills. He showed us the entire cheetah hunting process (lurking - sprinting - pouncing - choking - eating) (a million 👍s omitted here). His explanations were detailed, the vehicle was comfortable and safe, and his service was attentive and thorough – a truly perfect guide! The itinerary was well-planned, the luxury campsite was comfortable and stylish, and the entire trip was worry-free and hassle-free. Absolutely a 10/10 recommendation!

Distressing incident
What was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime safari turned into a distressing incident involving our tour guide abandoning myself and my elderly mother at a toilet stop 3 hours into our trip and fleeing in the truck with all of our belongings (money, passports, baggage) leaving us with no resources (including my mothers medications).
The company has avoided my calls and emails and have not provided any compensation for what we endured and have given empty promises of a refund for the alternative vehicle for the past 6 months.
We are deeply disappointed in how this was handled by the company and therefore cannot recommend booking with them.

Kenya safari is everything and more
We had 6 days safari with my wife few weeks ago, Peter was always available for any issues we had during the safari and our guide Newton is well informed, kind and professional.
If you are looking for professionalism and passion at a good value, this is the company to use. Touring the country of Kenya was unique. The people, food, culture and wildlife was fantastic! Accommodation quarters and staff are top notch and so friendly and kind. Thank you

Great organisation, nice and very friendly company
Miranda picked us up at arusha airport, the guesthouse, she organised was great. Our driver Öle knew a lot. He is a Maasai, so we learned many new facts about this tribe. Olduvai-gorge was great, the rest of the safari as well. Food was excellent. Roko is a smart and great guy, Maasai. Miranda is from NL. So you have both in one company: African vibes and a European spirit as well 😉
Thanks for everything Kerstin &Rolf

Exotic and unforgettable!
Perfect wildlife, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Hell’s Gate, Amboseli was worth it. So many animals and beautiful landscapes. We just completed our 6-day Kenyan safari and had the most amazing experience, professionalism and passion at a good value of money with Pavillion safaris! I highly recommend them

Amazing
We had an amazing gorilla safari experience in Uganda, and we were extremely satisfied with the entire trip. Everything was very well organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of from start to finish. Our guides, Sualit, Jamal, and Joan, were absolutely fantastic — professional, kind, and always attentive to our needs. They truly went above and beyond, especially when they helped us resolve an issue with our lost luggage, which took a lot of stress off our shoulders. Their support, knowledge, and positive attitude made this journey unforgettable. We highly recommend this gorilla safari to anyone looking for an incredible adventure with outstanding guides and excellent care.

Guide was the best - Raymond.
Raymond the guide and Richard the cook made this Safari a great experience. The food was home cooked daily for each meal and was fantastic. Raymond is a really good driver with lots of experience. He made the Safari the best it could be. He knew when to go and where to go to see the big 5 and we saw them all. The staff was nice and very helpful when getting things set up and organizing rides to and from the airport and lodging. Thank You for the best experience.
