Great experience - We had an amazing day at safari. Our guide Danford shared a lot of informations about animals so we learned a lot. We have seen all the safari animals and had great lunch at camp. I really recommend Kihindo as the whole experience from booking through safari day and return back to hotel was perfect. Thank you all so much for great experience.

Fantastic experience - Unique experience. From the moment of booking we were assisted by Winnie, always ready to respond to all our requests and information. During the Safari in Mikumi Park instead we were greeted by Saloniki and Jackson, two very nice guys and always smiling, they met our every request and were our photographers for two days, capturing every moment. Experience recommended absolutely.

Absolutely incredible! - We had such an amazing time on this one-day safari. Everything was well-organized, communication was attentive, and our guide was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with. We saw so many animals, I didn't think it would be possible!! Train travel was easy and pleasant. We would absolutely book a tour with Kihindo again!

One day in animal paradise visit from Dar es Salaam - This was unexpectedly hilarious experience! The staff members of KIHINDO Tours and Safaris communicated with us immediately after we booked our trip. They organized the pick up from our hotel in Dar es Salaam and were always on time at each step of the trip to drive us between the hotel and the train station, and between the train station and the park. They took care of train travel reservations and booked business class tickets for us (by the way, a nearly two hour long train trip was amazing with stunning views, clean train, and kind stuff offering coffee, tea, and small bites for free). Michael drove us between the train station and the park. He was exceptionally kind and friendly; he told us useful information, drove very safely, and even took us to a souvenir store on our way back. In the park, Saloniki was our guide while Adam drove us safely and always stopped the truck whenever we wanted to admire wild animals moving around us. These guys knew exactly where to go to ensure the best animal views for us (we saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, and other animals just walking or running in front of or behind our truck). Saloniki shared with us interesting facts about all the encountered animals. They took us for lunch in the middle of our safari expedition and it was delicious! Buffet lunch with multiple options for both vegetarians and meat-lovers. They also provided bottled water while we were driving through the park. We had a morning game drive and an afternoon game drive after lunch. We even saw sleeping lions or hippos resting while submerged in a pond. We had limited time to visit safari and within one day we saw more than expected (over 12 wild animals!). We highly recommend this company for one-day safari trips if you’re visiting Dar es Salaam and neighboring areas. Very efficient and safe experience for a reasonable price - it’s a really good deal. The professionalism, reliability, and kindness of organizers were impressive! It was a safe and fun drive through a magnificent safari park. Hundreds of pictures and videos that we took will help us to keep valuable memories of this trip. Thank you KIHINDO Tours and Safaris for making our day so exciting and unforgettable! I’m just looking at the pictures from this trip and smiling. So precious! Worth every spent penny!

An unforgettable trip! - We were five students from Norway that took the day trip safari from Dar es Salaam. The travel to the park went very smoothly, and it was very easy to communicate with the people driving us places. When we got to the park, we met with the driver that would take us through the safari, and we could not be happier. Danford was an amazing guide, who gave lots of fun facts about the animals, he even went back to show the lions twice, cause we were so excited about it! In the park there are a lot of animals, and we got to see so many very close to us. This trip was definitely worth the money!

exceptional experience - I booked last minute (9pm the night before) for a one-day trip to Mikumi National Park from Dar es Salaam. Firstly, the experience was incredible - more animals per hour than any national park I've been to - baby elephants, baby giraffes, a lioness and cubs hiding away (but we saw them!) and a lion that walked alongside the jeep. Absolutely brilliant. Secondly, the customer service was exceptional - Winnie from the team was so responsive, booking everything even though it was late and pick up was 5am, and I had a private guide and driver in the park. Connections and transport was seamless, from hotel pick-up to train station, train, pick up and drive to the park, and back again. Flawless. Shout out to Winnie, drivers Adam, Isaya and Ibrahim, and safari guide Saloniki.

Awesome! - My safari experience was absolutely amazing! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel comfortable throughout the entire journey. Our guide saloniki & driver Adam’s was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided clear, engaging explanations about the animals and their habitats. We were lucky to see a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, and giraffes, up close in their natural environment. A special thanks to Winnie, who was extremely patient and helpful in answering all my questions, making the experience even more enjoyable. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. A big thank you to the team for making this trip so special!
