Incredible!
5/5

This is by far the best agency we have ever gone through for any tour we have done in the past! Right from the beginning, Hamisi was so kind and accommodating. We were unable to make one of our flights the day before arriving and he went above and beyond to change plans and make sure we still were able to do the tours we were asking for. The waterfall and coffee tour was incredible with our guides, Andrew and Hamisi. We were able to spend some time at beautiful hot springs, a waterfall and ate a home cooked meal and coffee at a local home. The safari at Ngorongoro crater was a great experience as well! We were able to see so many animals and the landscape was stunning! Choosing Colours Africa Tours and Safaris was an amazing experience and I highly recommend booking through them for any tour you are wishing to do!

An unforgettable experience with an unbeatable team (guide, driver and cook)
5/5

We came to Tanzania with Colours of Africa and it was an unforgettable experience. Everything was very well organized and they were very attentive to us. Our guide, Charles Godson, explained many things about the animals we saw. Our driver, Japhet Mbutala, was not only a fantastic and careful driver, but he was also incredibly friendly. And finally, Paul Elias, or Babatawa as he's known here, not only cooked delicious meals for us, but he was also a charming person who even taught us different Swahili words. The best experience we've ever had; we are thrilled.

Absoluetly perfect!
5/5

Absolutely everything during this trip - from the delicious food prepared by our Master chef Sulejman to the incredible wildlife sightings was seamlessly perfect. Thanks to the extensive knowledge of the area dynamics paired with years of practical experience of our guide - Derick we saw all of what Tanzania could offer and more! All of that accompanied by freshly made meals by Sulejman and you can easily see why we have already booked for next year;) I would highly recommend this dynamic duo to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience that's both affordable and tailor-made to fit your needs to a T!

exellent
5/5

I've gotta say, Tanzania is seriously set up for tourists, especially around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. I chatted with a bunch of companies and heard from lots of folks who've done safaris with a variety of groups. It seems like as long as you pick a company that's legit and has decent reviews, you're pretty much guaranteed a great safari experience with most of them.

What sets Colours apart, however, is their ability to offer safaris that are not only budget-friendly but also venture into less frequented destinations, like Gombe National Park—an absolutely stellar recommendation and a definite highlight of our East African adventure. The team's flexibility with scheduling and their insightful suggestions greatly enhanced our experience. For instance, when we considered additional days at Lake Manyara National Park, they advised us to explore the southern Serengeti instead. This turned out to be excellent advice, allowing us to witness the spectacular great wildebeest migration—a truly unforgettable spectacle.

In a nutshell, not only is this company super competent and trustworthy, but they were also incredibly helpful in planning our trip. This was a godsend for us first-timers in Tanzania. Totally recommend them.

Stop looking! this is your Tour ans Safari company
5/5

In summary, everything was excellent. We initiated contact via email and later transitioned to personalized attention via WhatsApp, where Nasra kindly addressed all our questions before and during our journey, providing a five-star service.

During our safari, we were taken care of by Ben (IG: @wildben_tanzania), who went above and beyond to make our tour unforgettable. He took the time to accommodate all our requests, such as taking photos, stretching when necessary, handling purchases (souvenirs, sim cards, jewelry, among others). Additionally, he exhibited excellent time management, allowing us to enjoy the safari and have meals at appropriate hours. His undeniable skill in locating animals made my dream of seeing them all come true. Furthermore, he willingly shared language and cultural insights for each place we visited. We are forever grateful for the care received from our friend Ben.

Speaking of food, we were accompanied by Chef Zule (Don Zule), who prepared everything fresh and delicious. Undoubtedly, it was the best I have ever tasted, with an incredible diversity of flavors, only surpassed by his beautiful personality.

Finally, during our Kilimanjaro tour, Michael attended to us with the same kindness as all the mentioned individuals. He ensured we completed the hike to our goal while engaging in pleasant conversation along the way.

Certainly, using this company was the first step in making this journey a unique experience. Stop looking, this is your company.

From our very first exchanges until the end of the safari, impeccable!
5/5

Communications with Godlisten were simple, clear and easy. He answered all our questions well.
Despite the delay of our flight and our arrival after midnight, the transport from the airport to our hotel was well organized, a person was waiting for us with a poster on which was our name.
The next morning, Godlisten came to meet us at our hotel to explain the operation and planning of the safari. He answered all our questions well. He is a good person who listens to the needs of his customers.

Bulldozer (nickname of our guide) (yenye misukosuko) picked us up from our hotel. He knows the animals and the flora well, he gave us a lot of interesting and complete explanations. He is caring, he was open to our needs and what we wanted to do and see. His driving was excellent as the roads are very rough especially in the Serengeti. He took good care of us during the 6 days we spent with him.
We had a great time with Bulldozer, lots of laughs, great discussions. He also told us about how life is in Tanzania. We felt like we were sharing these moments with a friend. We had a great bond. His presence was a great addition to our experience.
The planning was respected to the letter, the accommodations were those chosen. On our return to Arusha, Godlisten came to meet us at the hotel and we were able to review our experience. He is very professional and friendly.
We loved the following parks: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngonrogoro Crater. The landscapes are magnificent and very different. Animals are present in large numbers and often very close to the vehicle.
Colors of Africa is trustworthy and I highly recommend doing business with them.

Perfect score for our 2nd safari
5/5

Guide
Our Bulldozer Guide was more than great and it was thanks to his experience and skills that we were able to see some animals that we had not seen on our first safari. He is attentive to his customers, often asks if everything is going well in addition to being pleasant company. He speaks good English (in addition to 5 other local languages) which makes contact easy throughout the safari. At our request, Bulldozer gave us lots of information about the animals we were seeing and that made the safari even more wonderful and informative. It has an impressive amount of information about all the animals we saw including birds.
In addition he is an outstanding driver and this is quite important in the roads going to the Serengeti which are very very bumpy (misukosuko!!) My next safari will certainly be with him, I can only warmly recommend this wonderful man. Asante Sana Bro :)

Tour operator
Planning the safari with Godlisten was very easy and enjoyable. He was a great help in personalizing our experience. What I appreciated the most was his transparency, his patience in answering all my questions and his kindness before, during and even after the safari. One thing that I greatly appreciated is the respect of everything that was agreed in the submission (proposal) both in terms of accommodation and certain details requested. There were no nasty surprises. I highly recommend Colors Africa because they know how to listen to their customers in order to make their experience as perfect as possible.
Thanks to the whole team!

Amazing experience
5/5

This was our first time going to Africa, or on safari, and there were so many companies to choose from. We ended up choosing Colours Africa because we felt they were best responding to our questions. This turned out to be a great decision as honestly I can't fault them at all!

The safari was an amazing experience and all of the staff from Colours Africa were great. Obviously it's all about seeing the animals and our driver Benjamin was just incredible. His eyesight was something else, often seeing things while driving that we would then struggle to find with binoculars!

Our chef Suleiman was super friendly and we had hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day which were all really tasty.

One of our group was ill and we missed the first day. The owners came down to our hotel themselves to check how he was doing and arranged for us to catch up the next day.

Hopefully I have the chance to visit Tanzania again some day and I wouldn't think twice about booking with Colours Africa again.
