An experience we will never forget - A fantastic experience in Mikumi with our guide Nuhu. He knew all about wildlife and birds. We learned a lot. We saw the elephants, zebras, antelopes, Giraffes, monkeys, puumba, buffalo, hippon, lions and several beautiful birds. All transport worked great. We went by train to Morogoro which was nice, when we arrived we got food and later a visit to a Maasai village where we got lots of information about the Maasai lives. (Take the opportunity to buy handicrafts from the Maasai women) The second day we left early and came home late after a fantastic day in Mikumi National Park, lunch in the park. On the third day it was time to travel to Zanzibar by train and ferry. It was nice that the driver was waiting for us outside the ferry even though we were delayed and on to our accommodation in Jambiani.

Incredible experience - The safari was well organised and also the long journey to the camp and back to sansibar felt not that exhausting due to all the help🤗 The food and the camp were incredible. And because of our guides Nuhu and Saloniki who did their best to give as the best experience as possible, we could learn a lot about the wild animals. We always felt very comfortable. It was a great experience.

Outstanding - Our safari with Michael was truly exceptional. He drove us safely from morning to evening, always smiling, attentive and patient. He took time to explain everything about the animals, stopped whenever we had questions, and made the whole experience fun, natural and very interesting. We laughed, we learned, and felt completely at ease. Michael is an outstanding guide and we highly recommend him!

Safari inolvidable - Definitely an experience to remember and recommend. We were treated amazing at all times. Getting to know the Masai village and the safari are experiences that leave a mark. Both Isaac and Jack did their best to see the maximum number of animals; giraffes, lions, zebras, impalas, etc. At Bastian camp we also had a happy stay. Very grateful to the entire team of Kihindo (Winnie, Adam, Isaac, Jack)!

The best safari tour we ever had - An unforgettable excursion. We (2 adults and a 10 year old child from Austria) were picked up early in the morning on the first day by our driver Isaya. The car was very comfortable and everything was well organised. Isaya was very nice and provided us with information on the 5 hour drive to Mikumi National Park. It was a great journey and we heard and saw a lot about the country and its people. We had lunch in a restaurant. This was also included and the food was delicious. We arrived at Camp Bastian around 2pm. The camp was beautiful and also had a great pool, which our daughter was very happy about. At around 4 pm we drove to the Maasai village. The Maasai danced and there was a guided tour of the whole village. Our Maasai Saloniki explained everything to us and it was super informative. At 6pm we drove back to camp and had dinner. The food was buffet style and very tasty. Our room was huge. It was clean and the bathroom was huge. The next day we left very early after breakfast for the national park. We had a huge open jeep for the three of us alone. We had two guides with us. Saloniki and Jackson. Both were great and were very keen to tell us everything about the animals and that we would see lots of them. They read the tracks and followed them. That day we were the only ones in the park to see the lions because our guides were so attentive. We had lunch in the park. This was also in buffet form and was again very tasty. Our tour of the park didn't end until 6.30am and we saw so many animals and learnt so much. The next day we travelled back to Dar es Salaam with our driver Isaya. It was another great journey and we then had lunch in Dar es Salaam itself. We had no additional costs apart from tips (which everyone really earned) or souvenirs. I can really recommend this tour with Kihindo Tours and Safari to everyone. There was nothing to complain about. I organised the organsition myself through Winnie from Kihindo tour. She was super quick to respond and answered all my questions. Great organisation and great people.

Mammamia what a fantastic experience! - Thank you very much Kihindo Tours for making us live a beautiful and unforgettable experience. We highly recommend them for their support in everything from booking to the end of the experience. We thank Isaya for her kindness and professionalism as a tour guide. It enriched our safari by letting us know many interesting details. A person you never get bored with and always laugh at, especially a very good driver. Thank you so much Winnie, for your constant availability and for always understanding our needs. If you want to go on a worry-free safari, choose Kihindo Tours!

Amazing safari - We had a great time with Kihindo safari. The organisation was good, the location of the camp was close to the Mikumi Park, and was very pleasant. We had an amazing safari we spotted all the Big4 (lions, leopards, elephant, vuffalo) also hippo, crocodile and snake. I would recommend the agency, and specially our guide Iddris who did a great job to spot the all the animals.

Great experience - I was very happy with the tour. I had very limited time and needed to find a tour for two days on the weekend, leaving on Saturday morning and returning on Sunday evening. I contacted many companies, but Kihindo Tours was the one I felt most comfortable with thanks to their professionalism. Being a solo female traveler, I was a little stressed and not sure if going on a safari was a good idea or not. But I am glad I did it! Winnie and the whole tour team took very good care of me from the moment I was picked up from the hotel to the moment I was dropped off. Although you usually have one guide, I had two. Salonike and Jonathan were both very good guides (actually one guide and one driver, but they both were super knowledgeable) and very nice people. We did the game rides in the morning and evening, both were incredible experiences. I recommend both the tour and Mikumi Park if you are short on time and cannot go to the Serengeti.

Kihindo tours and safaris are amazing - Absolutely fabulous!!! Winnie, who organised the tour was excellent. Communication from day 1 when I booked the tour to meeting us with our driver at the Hotel she was amazing. Mikio National Park is certainly a 'must do'!!!!! I would also like to say our driver William as so kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Thanks also go to our driver on safari, Jackson and our guide Saloniki who, also went beyond our expectations to show us around the National Park.
