Excellent in communication, customer service and overall satisfaction.
As a small group of three, we had been planning on going on a safari for about six months. We hadn’t done anything similar in the past and we were nervous about how to go about planning the excursion as well as the smaller day-to-day details. We did not want a deluxe safari so we aimed for a medium to low budget one instead. We went for the four-day option.
We contacted three separate companies (all registered with SafariBookings) and Colours Africa were the first ones to respond, almost immediately. They provided us with an itinerary illustrating the main locations and a daily breakdown of the whole trip. After discussing it as a group, we had tens of questions; from accommodation for the night before the safari, transportation, types of food available on the excursion, length of journey to the key areas, clothing, the camping sites and the lodges, the number of people the vehicles could fit and everything else in-between. Our main contact was Hamis, who replied promptly to all our questions even on weekends and sometimes very late at night.
On the actual safari, our driver and guide was Benjamin and our chef was Suleiman. The first had this amazing ability to spot animals hiding from (literally) a mile away while we were trying to spot them with binoculars. He knew the best places to view the animals and always listened to our requests, be it to stay at a spot longer to take photos or to explain certain animal behaviours.
I had the misfortune of being unwell for the first couple of days of the safari, having had an upset stomach from the flight to Tanzania. Suleiman (Sully) was aware and always took the time to cook a different meal for me so as not to upset my stomach any further. There were times when I could not resist his delicious cooking and tried a little of everything on the table. We were spoiled for choice. There was always a meat and a vegetarian dish, a carbohydrate as a side, salad and dessert both for lunch and for dinner. Breakfast was equally as appetizing and always included pancakes (crepes) which turned out to be the group’s go-to. Besides that, there was bread, coffee, tea, milk and juice.
Hamis visited us at the hotel the day before the safari to greet us and brief us on the details. He also came and visited me with Gotlisten, his business partner, to see how I was feeling after missing the first day of the safari due to my illness. The latter came to see us as a group upon our return to make sure we were satisfied and address any concerns or issues we may have had.
The overall experience (even for unwell me) was amazing and I would 100% do it again, maybe during the rainy season this time.
We went for Colours Africa mainly because of their pricing, flexibility, friendliness, promptness and speed in communication.

Excellent and professional
I made a full enquiry on Web Reviews on Safari and Safari Providers. After talking with many,I decided to take the offer with Hamisi, the
Tour Operator of Colours Africa Tours. After agreeing on Whatsup on what we want,what we expect and the total price, 5% was paid and I received the Voucher.
The Safari its self was better than imagined. Throully life time experience, seeing the wild life so close and so real.
Hamisi sent a pickup car to airport , met us at his office and then from time to time asked if we are happy and everything was OK.
After the start of the tour, we agreed the other activities, like visit of the Masai Camp directly with the driver.
We had marvoulos time and feld safe at all the times.
Outstanding service, lifetime experience, highly recommended
We chose a 3 day safari trip, Day 1: Tarangire National Park, Day 2: Ngorongoro Crater, Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park. Simon was assigned our guide for all 3 days and we stayed overnight at Twiga lodge. We were greeted warmly by Godlisten at Arusha airport and met at the end of our trip (and dropped off at the airport). All parks were very different and each well worth a trip to, however it was the people that made the trip so amazing!
SIMON is an amazing 5* guide, not only is his subject knowledge excellent and totally up to date, but his knowledge and his interest extends beyond the safari animals to all of the surrounding nature. Theres rarely a question he cannot answer - and believe me we asked loads. When uncertain, he has the humility to admit that he doesn’t know and will research into it, returning quickly with an answer.
His genuine total respect for the animals and indeed the whole environment is impressive! What stands out most is his enthusiasm, sense of humour, love of the animals (they come first) and genuine love of his own profession.
We were treated like royalty by all staff, at Twiga Lodge, and they were so genuinely nice people. Rooms are clean - nice shower, clean sheets and towels - just what you want. We had been on safari all day. It was lovely to be greeted by the receptionist JACQUELINE, who showed us around. It was lovely to see the welcoming swimming pool and even nicer to be assigned our very own chef for the evening - FAUSTINE SONGA . The food was perfect, he cooked us the best soup we have both ever tasted / pumpkin soup, WOW! It is impossible (and we tired) to find a better Hotel to stay. Great hotel, excellent staff who are genuine and down to earth providing the best service, making you feel special! Give me Twiga (giraffe) lodge any day - just like the giraffe, they reach the highest standards.
Godlisten/ Colours Africa provide an exceptional service for a very reasonable price! We would unreservedly recommend them! 5*

Professional and reliable operator with 24/7 availability. Highly Recommended +++++++
We had 4 fantastic days with Benjamin as guide and Colin as Safari cook. Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti are beautiful landscapes. We could see many primates - especially in the Manyara National Park - and all the big five plus incredible numbers of gazelles, wildebeests and zebras on their migration. A large number of hippos and some crocodiles were also spotted. Benjamin is a cautious but very good driver and has extremely good eyes to find animals in any circumstances. We felt safe during the whole trip. Colin prepared delicious local foods. Such a safari is a life's experience, everyone should see it at least once.

the travel agency was extremely professional. they treated us very well from the beginning to the en
We had the BEST experience of our lives. Many thanks for Colour Africa and BENJAMIN our guidance tour.
Colours Africa was perfect since the very beggining. The communication works very well by email or Whatsapp. All the details were very clear, and they treated us VERY well. You can definetely rely on this agency.
We were on our honey moon and we highly recommend the PRIVATE TOUR, you will get so much privacy, confort and a 100% personalized tour which you provide to you the BEST pictures and experience. Picnics, lodges, hotels... there is no word to explain was perfect everything went.
Benjamin was our guidance tour and he is the best! He did everything to give us the best experience possible. He is a very nice person, who knew all the details about the animals and the savannah. He would even take the best pictures from my own cellphone. He is also a good driver and gave our space when needed. He teached us even to sign and a lot of words in Swahili. He definitely made our trip unforgettable and we highly recommend his service.
ASANTE SANA BENJAMIN AND COLOURS AFRICA!

It’s so great experience!!! Very nice!!
Our safari tour in Africa was truly unforgettable. The whole experience was incredibly professional, and our guide Ezekiel is soooo nice, he care about all of us .
However many other tours were having simple sandwich lunches, we enjoyed delicious hot meals like beef dishes and fried noodles, along with fresh juice, wine, and fruit every day.
Most importantly, we were able to see every animal we hoped for — even some rare ones. It’s a so happy experience!!

This is a very professional, quick-responsible and fair price tour operator.
I would highly recommend this agent! I and my family and friends really enjoyed this tour. I chose Color Africa among the other 12 tour agencies, I would say they are the best ever. The price is also very fair.
Grace is very helpful to our journey, patient, polite and friendly. She understood our needs and customized a great and thoughtful itinerary for us.
All the accommodations are brilliant. The agent also help us upgrade the first night as our original hotel was sold out.
We also had an accident in one of our hotel, the agent helped us to negotiate with the hotel and solve the problem.
The tour guides are very professional. Ezekiel and Kevin are knowledgeable and great. They helped us found all the species we would like to see! Ezekiel also helped us with some special requests.
Overall I would say it’s a five star tour agency! Never missed this.
Experienced organizer, highly recommended
