Professional and service minded, knowledgeable and good humored
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.

Great Safari Experience with a Great Team
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.

very efficient and thoughtful operator
Well coordinated safari. It adapts to different needs. The cooks were very good. Nothing like the fast food of other operators. It was well cooked local food, also with vegetarian options.
Our guide Maliaki was perfect, a kind person and a great professional: good driver and guide. He has a lot of experience and knows where and when to go to the best places. He explained us a lot of facts about each animal, plants, history and facts of the parks. Thank you Maliaki!!

Amazing Tour to Materuni and Chemka Hot Springs!
We had a fantastic experience with Kareem as our driver and guide to the Materuni Waterfalls, the local coffee farm, and the Chemka Hot Springs! We started the day at Materuni after a lovely transfer there with Kareem. Our local guide Gody (Fetty) was full of knowledge of the local Chaga traditions and foods. He was also very funny and a great photographer. The hike to the waterfalls wasn’t overly difficult, but you will need to walk on some logs and use a walking stick. It is quite muddy so I would highly recommend you wear the rain boots they suggest because your shoes will get quite dirty. After the hike the Chaga tribe made us lunch specializing in banana flavors and offered locally made banana beer, wine, and schnapps. The coffee tour was very fun with song and dance. The local children took videos and photos and their photography skills were crazy good! The coffee was very good.
After the waterfalls, our driver then took us to Chemka hot springs where our feet were tickled by little fish and we got to go on a swing into the water. The place was very beautiful and serene.
Kareem went far above and beyond and took us to a local food spot called Uzunguni City Park for dinner and we tried some local dishes called Chipsi mayai with goat. Kareem really was the highlight of our tour as he provided a lot of local knowledge about each place and he took us to an ATM when needed and to dinner. We are so glad we took this tour and we highly recommend it to anyone!

Tanzania: A once in a lifetime experience
We chose Nkollo Tours for our honeymoon safari after months of researching different tour companies, and we’re really glad we did. From the start, Allan was incredibly helpful, he answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly, was flexible with special requests, and offered a wide range of accommodation options. We stayed in seven different places, and each one was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with friendly staff and great food.
The payment process was simple: half upfront, half when we arrived. Once we landed in Tanzania, everything was already arranged. Kareem picked us up from the airport, and from that moment on, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Meeting Allan in person was also a nice touch, he made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
After a relaxing first night in Arusha, we began our safari adventure. We spent five days exploring Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, and we were incredibly lucky to have Emmanuel as our guide. Emmanuel was the heart of our safari, his deep knowledge of wildlife, sharp eye for spotting animals, and warm personality made every day unforgettable. He made sure we saw the Big Five and so much more, and he took the time to share stories and insights about Tanzanian culture that added real depth to the experience. He was patient, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what he does. Traveling with him felt like being with a friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible.
After the safari, we did a day trip to Materuni Waterfall and the Chagga village. Kareem drove us there and joined us for the coffee tour and traditional meal afterward, which were both well organized and really enjoyable. The hike to the waterfall was beautiful but slippery, a perfect way to wind down after the excitement of the safari.
Overall, our honeymoon with Nkollo Tours was everything we hoped for and more. Everyone we met was kind, professional, and easy to talk to. The whole trip felt personal, well thought out, and full of moments we’ll never forget. We’d absolutely recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania and we can't wait to go back.

Amazing Safari with Perfect Organisation
I first contacted Allan at Nkollo 2 months prior to when we wanted to travel which was Aug 25. Right from the start he was attentive in the communication and always responded promptly to reassure us we were dealing with people that cared and knew what we wanted.
A few days prior to our arrival in Arusha all of the arrangements regarding pickup etc were confirmed and in our arrival mat the airport Vincent our guide for 5 days was there waiting. The truck was perfect for our needs as a family of 4 people, all of the accommodation was lovely and the trip ran like clockwork. Vincent was full of knowledge about the area and where to go to get the best chance of seeing the wildlife, all of which we saw in abundance.
Can't thank the team at Nkollo enough for giving us everything we wanted for a 5 day trip of a lifetime and seeing all of the animals so close up. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Fabulous tour very well organised and run
Choosing a safari from so many operators can be bewildering. However the initially personalised itinerary and professional approach from Allan was outstanding. Booking was very easy and he was very flexible when our travel dates changed. Nothing was too much to ask, and therefore our arrival in Arusha after an 11 hour flight was very easy. We met Vincent our guide the following morning who was very friendly, knowledgeable and throughout the whole 5 days was always keen to try to show us everything he could. His intimate knowledge of the landscape, flora and fauna made for a very enjoyable trip, and spending evenings having dinner was also enjoyable. All the lodges were fabulous, food was great and lunch everyday on safari was great usually with a spectacular view. Lions walking by overnight in tented lodge was quite amazing. Managed to see big 5 and ugly 5!!
I would highly recommend Nkollo to anyone consider a safari in Tanzania, with Allan’s organisation and Vincent’s knowledge you cannot go wrong.
