Great Safari Experience with a Great Team
5/5

We had a fantastic time doing the 3-Day Nyerere NP Fly in/out Safari with Night Game Drive. Allan made the booking process very simple and communication in the build up to the safari was easy and all of our questions were answered promptly. We were picked up from our hotel in Zanzibar and then had a great flight in a small plane to the airstrip at Nyerere which meant we could begin our game drive right away.

On the Safari itself, our tour guide David was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable and was great to chat with throughout the 3 days. David and the driver had a great eye for spotting animals and, being on a private tour, everything was done at a pace that suited us which we really enjoyed. Our driver was great at managing the conditions when there had been rain in order to get us to great spots for seeing animals. Throughout the tour Allan kept in touch to ensure that everything was going well.

The night game drive was a real highlight on our safari tour. It allowed us to see many hippos wandering around out of the water, as well as elephants much closer than we would tend to see in the day.

The staff at the lodge were very friendly, the accommodation is quite basic as you would expect but has everything you need. The food and drink offered throughout the tour was good quality and we were always well fed.

It was just a great experience throughout and I would highly recommend to anyone.

Professional and service minded, knowledgeable and good humored
5/5

The safari was well organized, and everything was taken care of. We stayed at good hotels and lodges, where everything was ready upon arrival. Nkollo provided us with a good and detailed itinerary.

The car did not break down and we did not get stuck in the mud, yet managed to see all the big five due to the guide's skill, caution and knowledge.

We got a perfect safari with a great guide, Immanuel, in the best kind if vehicle for the experience (land cruiser, six seater, with raisable roof). I highly recommend both Nkollo as an operator and Immanuel as a guide.

Marvellous
5/5

With Nkollo tours, the service itself was an experience! Our trip started from Zanzibar whereby everything was very organised and we just had to “NOT WORRY” about anything!
We went to Nyerere national park for 2 days. There, everything exceeded our expectations by all means. The guides were extremely professional and made extra effort to make sure that we will see all possible kind of animals, they were very respectful, helpful, and experienced.
We were glad to spend such a memorable one of a kind wild experience with them!
During our 2 days trip, he was in contact with us all the time to make sure that everything is perfect & we’re enjoying the game drive, he never failed us in any thing and was always responsive.
We were very appreciative to his whatsapp messages every now and then to check on us.
As much as we enjoyed our trip & the service with “Nkollo tours”, we asked him to plan our remaining days in Zanzibar.
Thus, we booked Safari Blue with him the other day.
One we arrived, we were surprised by a boat decoration from him for our honeymoon, it was another one of a kind experience, floating on the island in a special boat with heart shapes and flowers. A special decoration for our special occasion!
You will rarely find a business that would offer extra thing without a return!
We took all our activities in private which made it even more luxurious and relaxing!
Me and my husband highly recommend Nkollo and will lastly say, he is the person to go for in Tanzania!

5/5

It was a best experience going for a day safari in Tarangirie with nkollo tours . We had a single day in Tarangire and It was an unforgettable journey since we saw alot of animals With Hans, we had the best guide and driver you can imagine. He is very helpful and experienced, he knows every corner and spot to show you the animals and creatures in the wilderness. Besides that, we enjoyed the conversation about the cultures during the transfer . Needless to say special thanks to the owner Allan and his team for the safari tour.

5/5

The Safari was great, the organization was amazing and the attention from the owner, the guide and the cook was incredible. I was in touch with Allan before i traveled because I had so many questions as it was my first safari and I was also traveling alone. He advised me which pack would be the best to see more animals during March and I booked a small group safari for 3 days in Serengeti and ngorongoro. When I reached Arusha he contacted me also to make sure everything was good and during the trip the guide and the cook took very good care of us and always letting us decide what we wanted to see, how long we wanted to stay in each place to watch the animals. We were always astonished about their good eyes which discovered the animals long time before us and able to answer our numerous questions regarding animals and culture. Also our cook Paul surprised us every day with delicious meals. I would book with them again and again. Their prices are the best online and in person compared to most companies. Im very happy i did the Safari with them.

All of our dreams came true
5/5


I did my research and chose Nkollotours. I’m so glad I did! I contacted about 10 tour companies and starting narrowing down the list… For me, it was all about a high-quality experience with the animals, at a low price. They always responded quickly to my emails. The operator was always active, he really cared about us as clients and it showed. He met us in person on our arrival day and talked to us for an hour for orientation questions. I’m glad we supported a locally owned business. The safari experience itself was incredible. They always made the best soups every night. My favorite main courses were the lamb with the sauce and the spaghetti. We said we didn’t like bananas and we never saw them… For dessert one night, they made us mango fruits, yummy. As part of our packed lunch, they always made sure we had hot water for coffee or tea. Very thoughtful. Our itinerary was 6 days and 5 nights, covering Tarangire, 2 nights at Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Private is best because you can comfortably invade each other’s space to take pictures from the pop-up roof, sit and observe the animals. It was super comfortable. Book with NkolloTours,you won't regret.

Perfect Safari agency
5/5

Together with my two friends we decided to book for a 6days safari for lodge accommodations,the operators gave us many options of tour packages to fit our budget and we chose the best out of them then we had to pay in advance to secure the booking. On the arrival the operator picked us from the airport at Kilimanjaro then straight to the Impala hotel that we booked for an extra cost. They came for us next morning after our breakfast then started our tour around 8am. It was an amazing experience for us in Tanzania inside the wildlife for 5 nights in national parks,we saw almost all of the wild animals,the maasai culture on top of that we slept in good hotels,the hotel accommodation and meals were so perfect. After the tour from the National parks we requested an extra day for city tour then we went out to the hot spring out of town. Chemka Hot Springs is the best place to visit after a safari adventure badluck i lost my camera i had alot of photos from there but Chemka oasis is a unique phenomenon you can carry your constumes for swimming also do camping if you want too,we really enjoyed and I can’t wait for my next visit. They deserve a 5star for their excellent service.

Unforgettable safari experience with Emmanuel and Nkollo Tours
5/5

We had the most incredible safari experience thanks to Annie and our amazing guide, Emmanuel, from Nkollo Tours & Safaris. They took excellent care of us throughout the entire trip.

We highly recommend booking a 5-day safari with this company and requesting Emmanuel as your guide.

He was an outstanding guide: calm, relaxed, fun, and great to talk and laugh with. He has extensive knowledge of the animals and always does everything in his power to give you the best experience possible.

The lodges were beautiful, comfortable, and served excellent food. The packed lunches were also very good and included rice, vegetables, and either meat or fish. Before the trip, they ask whether you have any allergies or special dietary requirements.

Communication with Annie was excellent. She always replied quickly, made us feel welcome, and ensured that the itinerary and quotation could be adjusted to our wishes.

5/5


We booked 4-Day Tarangire,Serengeti 2 Nights,
Ngorongoro & Masai Visit tour with Nkollo tours almost 4 months ago and since that day, Mercy, our tour operator had been there to answer every question, working through the concerns( food allergies).
He was transparent when it came to payments etc. no hidden fee or anything.
Absolutely hassle free booking.

Our safari experience was awesome. We had no challenges and no concerns. Both accommodations (lodge and tent) were really good except one minor thing - water pressure in the shower at the lodger was really low. Other than that our experience - bush dinner and breakfast at the lodge was awesome. Food was delicious. Everyone was so nice. Chefs at both places (lodge and tent) were able to accommodate restrictions for my daughter's allergies.
Now as for Richard, our tour guide, if we can say in one sentence, we would say that if we do safari again, we will only do with Richard as our guide. He is funny, nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. And most of all, he is such a nice human being. We really created a bond with him.
Last but not least, we would also like to thank you. You took care of all our queries and concerns during the planning and afterward. So, thank you! We wish you and Richard all the best.

Outstanding service, expert guides, and a seamless, unforgettable Tanzania adventure.
5/5

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Nkollo Tours to make this dream trip a reality. Allan was incredibly helpful during the planning stages, allowing us to personalize our itinerary with ease. Not having to build a trip from scratch and simply needing to show up on the first morning made for a stress-free and unforgettable safari experience.

Our driver, Gadi, was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the parks. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see the Big Five and many other amazing animals throughout our safari. We greatly appreciated both his service and the quality and comfort of our vehicle.

We also thoroughly enjoyed our transfers with Martin on the Hakuna Matata Express as we traveled from the safari portion of our trip to the Mt. Kilimanjaro area. His friendly service made the journey enjoyable and seamless.

Thank you to the entire team for an incredible experience. We highly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.
