Great safari expiriance - Very good safari experience with lot of African massage roads (bumpy road). Nice way to explore African wildlife from 3 difernet views. Thanks to our fantastic guide William we got to see a lot of animals in their natural habitat, and he told us all about them-what they eat and all the other things. I definately suggest this if you have limited time but want to explore as much as possible. The acomadation was also very nice and close to the park, the food was good.

THREE WONDERFUL DAYS - NYERERE NATIONAL PARK - Amazing place, very kind and very helpful staff, they welcomed the idea of adding a stop to the program and visiting a Maasai village for a small surcharge. The lodge to sleep in was charming to be surrounded by nature; again the staff was extremely helpful and kind. It was a pleasure for me and my friends to do this experience; we leave this wonderful place with a little melancholy in our hearts but we hope to repeat it sooner or later!! Thank you Paul and William!!

Amazing tour with Kihindo - Our safari experience was unforgettable in Nyerere national park. We were lucky to have such a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, William, who picked us up from our hotel in dar es salaam and took us to all of our activities. The river safari was incredible as we got close up to the hippos and crocodiles. We got up close to all the animals, including lions, giraffes, buffalo’s, monkeys etc. William made sure we made the most of our day in the national park. On our last day we did the morning walking safari, which was lead by a very funny tour guide, we even spotted some elephants. The hotel was comfortable and the food was very good. The staff were very accommodating. Overall couldn’t recommend this company more.

- This was my first propper safari experience, and to say it blew away my highest expectations is an enormous understatement. William, our guide, was absolutely fantastic at every aspect, spotting and identifying rare species before we had even arrived at the national park. He was also fantastic at tailoring the drives to our specific interests, ensuring that the bird enthusiasts in our group had sufficient time to photograph and admire new species. The encounters with the larger mammals were nothing short of awe-inspiring, with a deeply moving experience involving an elephant crossing the river to greet another, being a personal highlight for me. William was fantastic at allowing us to get the clearest views of the animals, without compromising their welfare, (which was very important to us as zoology and conservation students) as he took every step in ensuring minimal stress was caused while we viewed. He also managed the time impeccably, ensuring we had enough time with the animals which were most fascinating to us. We also added on a last minute excursion to Mikumi, in which we were fortunate enough to witness lion cubs playing and feeding. Despite the long distance between reserves, and limited time, William managed to get us everywhere we needed to be, with time to spare. I can't rate this experience highly enough, and would like to give much deserved recognition to William and all the others involved, who made our trip truly special. 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hakuna matata at its finest - That was an extraordinary experience full of animals, joy, lots of knowledge and most importantly a special shoutout to an amazing guide William! Thanks to him we’ve seen giraffes, zebras, gnu, impalas and other antelopes, baboons, crocodiles, hippos, buffaloes, warthogs, elephants, velvet monkeys and plenty of birds including eagles! We’ve also learned about a local flora. William gave us all the information we needed. He was very attentive to our needs and made a great effort to show us as many animals as possible from best angles. The program was great and included a boat safari, game drive safari and a walking safari. We had such a blast ❤️
