Absolutely amazing
It was an exciting experience. Everything was absolutely perfect. The organization, our guide Gody was great: He knew a lot of the animals and also, how to find them. He was encouraged to make everything possible and die a very good job. His German was very good. We felt secure and had a lot of fun. Thank you Gody.

This tour operator will go the extra mile for his clients.
We did a 3 day safari with 2 night camping with moonlight safari. This experience couldn't be better. It were some of the best days of our life. Everything was wel organise with an eye for detail. The service was excellent and they really find it important. The campingsite was equipped with the best camping materials. The food was really delicious, always a lot to choose from, fresh products and most of it was healthy too. The communication before our trip was quick and effective. And above this our guide was the most enthusiastic, warm and positive person. During the game drives he really wanted us to see all the animals and he went the extra mile for us. So overall you will not regret booking with them. It is worth every penny!

Everything was amazing from day 1. Diane got in touch with us via WhatsApp and was extremely prompt in answering any questions we had. She was knowledgable about the camps and areas and I would 10/10 recommend her to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience with Mandela & Salim
We had a fantastic 4-day safari with the absolute best guide: Mandela! He has 11 years of experience and, not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals and birds, it’s obvious that he truly cares about animals and nature. He was so committed to making sure our group was always happy and saw all the animals that we wanted to. He was also an excellent driver and mechanic who refused to let washed out roads stop us! Such a nice man with a great smile.
We also had the best food I’ve ever had on a safari (and this was my fifth)! Salim is an incredible chef and produced the most amazing meals three times a day. I have a wheat allergy and he constantly made me special things that I could eat. He is also fun, caring, and committed to excellence.
I highly recommend Mandela and Salim to anyone and I’ll request them the next time I go on safari!

Jartan is the best guide I’ve ever met, by far!
Jartan is so knowledgeable about the country, the culture and the people and he goes out of his way to make sure visitors see as much as possible. He is passionate about what he does, he’s personable and his communication skills are amazing. If something isn’t quite right, he will find a way to fix it. If I could go on all my trips with Jartan as a guide, I’d gladly do so. If you’re going to Africa, I highly recommend Jartan as your guide. There really is no one better

Fantastic safari
I organized our first safari in Kenya with Julius and it was a great choice. I discussed and agreed with him a 5-day program from Nairobi to Diani crossing 4 parks: Amboseli, Tsawo west, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Tsavo east, sleeping every evening in a different camp (Kibo, Kilaguni, Saltlick and Ashnil).
The program we agreed upon was perfectly respected, exceeding all expectations. The driver George proved to be a very expert guide, pleasant and capable of identifying animals, even the most hidden ones, such as the 3 lionesses on the night trail at the Taita Hills. Julius was very attentive texting me every day to check that everything was ok. The Land Crusier Toyota, although not brand new, was still perfectly efficient and perfect for the purpose. I definitely recommend it.

Really professional and caring before/during and after the service!
Our experience has been fantastic with Kihindo Tours. I was exchanging emails with Winnie for quite a while, and she was very patient, answering all my queries clearly and really fast, providing different options to match what we wanted, and being accommodating.
We were picked up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam by Winnie and Michael (our guide) promptly (they actually got there earlier than expected!), and after finalising payment and dropping Winnie at the offices, Michael started driving us to the camp where we'd be staying. He was very chatty, there were lots of water in the car and we stopped a couple of times for lunch, a break, etc. It is a bit of a long drive to Mikumi, but well worth it. A few kms before arriving to the camp, we started seeing animals (giraffes, zebras, impalas...) and Michael very kindly stopped so we could start taking pics. The accommodation was great. We had a nice bungalow, with the basics. It was really charming and all we could hear was birds and insects. It was lovely. food in the camp was very nice (buffet).
the safari - Amazing .Michael was great, really knowledgeable and explaining lots of things. He made the whole thing really interesting, easy and really cool! We were very aware that it's a safari so maybe we wouldn't be able to see some animals (sadly we didn't spot leopards), but it was amazing. Our first day we saw elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, impalas, crocodiles, monitor lizards, hippos, wilderbeests, storks...and other animals and birds I can't remember haha .
We also did a walking tour of the nearby waterfalls. It was great view and really quiet, as it was low season, so we had the waterfalls just for us to swim
All in all, we believe it's great value for money, they were extremely reliable, helping us with all the queries we had before/during/after the safari...Would absolutely recommend. We even met Mr Kihindo, who is a very nice young man!!!

5 star experience, knowledgeable tour guide, amazing stays, lots of animals!
These guys really take care of you. From the moment we arrived at the airport, taken to our first nights stay, everything was explained in great detail and the safari planning was discussed. Our guide Freddie took us around the national parks and was very knowledgeable about all the animals. We saw loads of them and took amazing pictures. The lodges we stayed at were really nice as well with very friendly staff. Overall amazing experience, I would recommend anyone to go with Suricata!
