The best tour organizer in Tanzania!
Kihindo safaris might be the best safari organizer in Tanzania. From the booking untill the last day, every thing was perfect. The tour guide’s (Godfrey and Wiliam) where very welcoming and kind. They knew a lot about the animals and the Tanzanian culture. They gave answer to all of our questions. I would really recommend Kihindo Tours and Safari!

Fantastic Safari!
We had a great safari with Godfrey and William! They guided us well through Mikumi National Park. We also received a lot of information about the animals. In addition, they were more involved compared to other supervisors. We ended up with fantastic photos thanks to Godfrey's skills. It was fantastic!

Our safari guide (and driver) Mark was really amazing, told us many fun facts about Maasai Mara.
We were travelling in a group of four friends. With Karibu safaris we went to Nakuru and Masai Mara. The tour guide was really nice, we asked him to stop by Naivashi lake so we even took a little detour (Naivashi wasn’t in our plan). Our safari tour was truly amazing.

Excellent , we got even more informations than we expected and would definitely do it again.
Karibu safaris organised an amazing tour in Kenya’s wild life and gave us so many unforgettable experiences. Definitely one of the best decisions we’ve made. It was my first visit here, and defined not last. I recommend.

Unforgettable holidays
Shanjoy Tours managed our visit to Kenya and Tanzania in August 2023, Patrick took care of everything from the first day, we saw incredible places and documentary scenes that we will never forget. Totally recommended.

He was the best. He answered all of our questions and really gave everything that we really enjoyed.
It was great. We had one whole day and a half in the Masai Mara National Park and a half day at the Nakuru lake. Our operator even stoped at the Navasha lake, because we asked him to. And we saw a lot of animals, even the cheetah, leopard and black and white rhinos. It was really a great experience and I would love to come back. It was defenetly worth the money. Also the tents in the eco camp where over our expectations and also the food was good. We loved everything.

Bad experience with Travel Africa Journeys
Please do not use this tour operator!!! they are completely unreliable.
The Owner changed the accommodation for our Tarangire stay (Tarangire Ndovu tented lodge) at the last minute without consulting me. The matter and the way he dealt with it is in itself unacceptable, but most importantly the lodge we were given (Acacia Tarangire camp) is for sure of lower standard than the one we had chosen in terms of location, room quality and common areas.
Moreover the lodge was more than one hour further south, which meant longer trip from Tarangire to Amboseli Park.
2) The jeep we have been using was very old and had several issues, including:
- some blocked windows
- extremely dirty
- the engine starter didn't work always and our guide had to ask for help from other cars several times in order to restart the car. We were lucky if we did not have major issues but this is a serious safety issue.
3) No binoculars were provided - the guide simply said it was broken.
I sent several emails with a refund request, but the owner never replied to me !!!

Simply the best!
I’ve wanted to do a Safari with Armadillo since before Covid. Everything I read about them I loved.
Different from other bigger operators, their approach is very personal and custom to each client.
Richard was very responsive and helpful in answering all of my questions as to help me select the best experience for my husband and myself.
When the day finally arrived, Richard and Morris picked us up in Johannesburg in their unique custom truck and the next 4 days were just fantastic!
We chose the camping option. As we planned several months in advance, Richard was able to reserve our spots in 2 camps, but we mainly stayed in Skukuza.
Every day, Richard and Morris planned our drives to look for animals, they were very generous with their time and we spent as much time on drives as we wanted.
The truck is great because it’s high up so we could see over the other cars and jeeps. It also has windows which can be closed/open so it’s much cozier in early mornings as you’re protected from the wind.
Richard and Morris are both very knowledgeable and were giving us very interesting information on animals and their behavior.
Finally, I must mention Richard’s cooking. Two words - Top Notch!
We highly recommend you choose Armadillo Overland Tours for an unforgettable experience!

Outstanding
We enjoyed our safari experience. Communications from this operator was very good. Pick up time was as promised. Our guide, Sunny drove safely. He did a great job spotting wildlife. He was very informative. Our vehicle was comfortable and well maintained. This is a good pick if you have a limited time in Johannesburg.
