100% recommendation
We did a 3 day tour to Mikumi National Park.
We felt very well advised and taken care of in advance. Isaya helped us in advance with all the questions we had (visa, hotel recommendations, etc.) and we also received support with our onward journey (ferry to Zanzibar, taxi driver).
The tour/safari itself was very well organised and planned, but also left individual wishes open.
Isaya and his brother Godfrey were very eager to tell us everything about their culture, the animals and their country. We felt comfortable and welcome from the very first second. They were always on time and very concerned about us.
We can recommend Kihindo Tours 100% because we had such a fantastic time.
Hakuna matata.

The five days were very beautiful and intense.
Isaya from Kihindotours looked after us very well. He always strived to make his guests happy. We were very impressed by the animal sightings with him. Lodges and food were also completely ok. The program was very well coordinated. We felt very comfortable and would go on safari with Isaya again at any time.
Thank you for the great time and all the best.

Working man has nothing to worry about!
My first time in Africa and I spent close to 7 days there. The most incredible event was a Safari trip with our friend for life Isaya! His knowledge and easy going attitude made that trip unforgettable! Just love the energy and hard work he is putting in to make the tourists happy!
The best tour to choose, most definitely!!!

Safari very nice. But a lot of administration with refund.
Our guide was great. Safari as well. But there was a lot of administration with refund. For example I do not understand why you asked your invoice from me. And refund took too long.

The Kenya part is good, and the Tanzania part is changed.
The Kenya part is good, and the Tanzania part (parks visiting order and accommodation) is slightly changed. It is still a good memory for me. And drivers are all good.

Beautiful, geologically and biologically diverse country
I spent about 4 months (August to December) traveling in Kenya, visiting several different regions of the country from Lake Victoria to the Indian Ocean. I passed through Nairobi several times between different legs of the trip and I gradually became accustomed to the hustle and bustle. The roads were overall in poor condition when I visited in 2002, but they were dramatically better when I went back briefly in 2010.
While in Kenya, I snorkeled in the Indian Ocean, summited Mount Kenya, watched the big game in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and near Tsavo, drank cow's blood with Maasai, camped and had an exciting close encounter with wildlife in Hell's Gate, and explored the rainforest in Kakamega. There is tremendous ecological diversity in Kenya- not just the classic savannah!
One of my favorite places was the island of Lamu. Nearly 10 years later, I sometimes still fantasize about the fruit smoothies they sell there. Delicious! If you have time, I highly recommend visiting the Kenyan coast. The history of trade is fascinating and the beaches are beautiful! Watamu was one of my favorites because you can easily swim to the reef for snorkeling.
Another highlight of the trip was climbing Mount Kenya. I went with two girlfriends and we hired a guide but no porters so we carried all of our own things. We only saw two other people without porters in the 6 days we were on the mountain, and we definitely felt like a bad-ass group of women. The climb up Mount Kenya was scenic and interesting- well worth it even if you don't get to the peak. Our guide was impressively agile and a great help.
I spent a fair amount of time in western Kenya, in the rolling, tea-covered hills between Lake Victoria and Mount Elgon. Kakamega Forest, a unique habitat in Kenya, has tremendous biodiversity. I am not a birder, but I know that Kakamega is one of the best places for birding in Kenya. One of my favorite memories is from walking up to a hill in the forest before dawn to watch the sunrise and see the mist and birds above the tree canopy. I loved Kakamega so much that I almost did my dissertation research there, but ended up working in Tanzania instead.
Throughout Kenya, I stayed in homestays, budget, or mid-range accommodations. I often took public transportation (for both long and short trips). The basics of Swahili are relatively easy to pick up, but most people in Kenya also speak English.

Wonderful experience
We had a great safari with East African Safari & Touring Company. Innocent was our guide, and Michael was our chef, for a one-week camping / lodge safari. We went to Ngorongoro Crater, a day-long hike from Nainokanoka to Empakaai Crater (amazing) and Tarangire, and had a wonderful time. Innocent was a cool dude and had eagle eyes. We enjoyed camping and getting away from the beaten trail for a bit; Michael's soups were scrumptious. We also managed to meet Simon at his amazing lodge in Tarangire. The team was responsive to some last-minute news that one of our travelers was pregnant. I was worried about some of the negative reviews I'd read on the web, but we had a terrific trip and recommend this outfit to friends who are looking for a safari that presents great value.

Amazing Safari exprerience
That was my first safari ever and EastCo made it very special. (3 days safari : Tarangire / Lake Natron)
Unlike most people, we did not organise it in advance, however Simon manage to organise everything for us very quickly.
Our day in Tarangire was amazing, and our night stay in Naitolia Eco-Lodge fantastic. The place was beautiful, and the surprise was after dinner when Ezekial, our guide, told us that we were going on a night safari. Again, memorable experience.
I was not quite expecting such a level of service, and such nice food served during a safari.
EastCo really did a great job: everything was perfectly organised, the food was good, all the camping equipment was provided, and our guide was fantastic. Ezekial is really knowledgeable, and is always happy to answer our (many) questions.
I could only recommend EastCo and in particular Ezekial who made our safari so special. Thank a lot for everything, I look forward to coming back and organizing a longer safari with EastCo.
