Delightful! - I went with a group of 6 total people and we had an amazing time! It truly was seamless from booking the tour to getting dropped off where we needed to be after the safari. They are so accommodating, and I had no trouble communicating with them. They responded right away and answered all the questions we had. We also enjoyed our time with our tour guide, Mr. Apollo. The only thing, I would recommend bringing snacks with you. We found ourselves hungry a few times, but the food was delicious.

Elephants are awesome - I had a fantastic trip got to see all the animals I expected. The guide Kenny was very helpful and kind. Elephants on the river journey 5-7 meters away and on the safaritour in the car passed them 2 meters from the car so.it was mighty.

A Perfect First Safari in Tanzania - Our stay in Mloka was absolutely wonderful. The boat safari offered a unique and interesting perspective on the local nature, while the visit to the Masai Boma Village was a truly authentic and enriching experience. The highlight, however, was the game drive, made perfect by our incredible driver, Marufu. With great dedication and professionalism, he went above and beyond to ensure we saw a magnificent array of animals, making the entire experience truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this safari to anyone looking for a comprehensive and impeccably organized adventure!

Perfect safari experience - We've done a 3D/2N safari in Nyerere National Park organized by Kihindo Tours and Safaris. Everything was perfect from the first contact till the end of the safari. We've set all the details through WhatsApp, they were very quick to answer all my questions (specific on the tour itself or general enquires related to other "issues" I had when planning my holidays). Everything was very clear and straightforward - price, payment, tour details, accommodation (they offered a few alternatives to choose from). As for the tour itself, again, everything was perfect: - the transport from Dar es Salaam was done with a private Toyota Avanza that offered all the comfort for the 4-5 hour drive - the accommodation was very good, as it was described and as in the pictures provided - the safari was done with a dedicated safari car - for us it was way better than the transformed Toyotas with an open rooftop where you need to stand up - the guides that we had were very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and tried their best to see as many animals as possible - we did see a lot of animals As a conclusion, I cannot say anything bad about the company or the tour. We had a great time, a memory for lifetime.

Can definitely be recommended!!! - My family and I have been on an absolutely fantastic safari trip and one of the important parts of the trip was our fantastic guide, who was welcoming and always with a smile. He was good at informing us and happily answered our questions. During our entire safari stay, good food and care were provided. In addition, we arrived at the most fantastic lodge in true African and safari style, where elephants came to visit at night/early in the morning and sometimes other animals from nature. Everyone on site was extremely gracious and the owner of the place often came and had a little chat and good advice for our trip after the safari stay was over. We were taken care of all the way through, with food and drink and lots of kindness. We had an incredible number of good experiences with us, both during the stay itself, but not least through our boat safari and the safari itself out with the wild animals. Can definitely be recommended!!!

3-day Nyerere tour - Our guide Abel picked us up from Dar Es Salam and returned us there at the end of our tour which was really helpful. The landscape in Nyerere national park is truly beautiful and the varied safari wildlife was worth the visit. Unfortunately we were unable to see the African Wild Dogs as they had recently moved to a different area. We were able to see African Fish Eagles hunting which was really special. The boat cruise and the walking tour offered an alternative way to view the wildlife. Huge thanks to the team at Kihindo for the tour!!

An unforgettable experience with Michael (Kihindo) in Nyerere Park - An unforgettable experience with Michael (Kihindo) in Nyerere Park Our safari in Nyerere National Park was a unique experience, thanks to the incredible treatment we received from Michael. It made us feel at home from the very beginning, always adapting to our needs and providing us with very close and familiar care. Michael is not only an exceptional guide with a thorough knowledge of the park and its fauna, but his warmth and friendliness made the trip even more special. Always willing to answer our questions, he adjusted the tour according to our preferences and made us live unforgettable moments. We would definitely recommend it for any safari in the area. Your dedication and affection make every minute of the tour a genuine and unique experience.

Honeymoon at its best - Michael was absolutely the best guide we could have asked for. The entire trip was incredibly informative, and we learned so much from him. If I had the chance to do this again, I would choose him without hesitation. We are truly grateful to him for making this trip unforgettable.
