just perfect!!!
When you start looking at safaris... doubts begin which agency will be the best? Will they be serious and meet your expectations and with their word? .. and the truth was that it was a complete success. From the first day they resolved my doubts, anything I asked they wrote to me at the moment to solve them, a great professional from the beginning to the end. They have made my trip perfect. He made me feel at home, being so far away and not knowing what would happen... he complied with everything agreed and more since he solved a problem with the room last night. He picked me up and changed me to another hotel where I was great. all kindness and excellent treatment! The guides are also super professional, being able to see a multitude of animals and experience wonderful moments. just thanks for everything. If you have any doubt about which company to choose, choose them! I will recommend it to my relatives!

Out of the world experience
My girlfriend and I have always dreamed of doing a safari. There are hundreds of tour companies out there that offer various and similar tours and it is very difficult to determine which offer the best service. Right from the start when I sent my initial enquiry the Colours Africa team were responsive giving me a very customised itinerary. I told the team what I wanted out of the trip they gave a base plan which was modified as time went on. I noticed that they were not the cheapest and not the most expensive ion comparison to my other enquiries but I assure you they are definitely worth paying for.
Unfortunately our luggage was lost by the airline so we arrived in Arusha with no luggage. Colours Africa went to every effort to help us locate it and even offered to have the luggage delivered 2 hours to us in the national park if it turned up. Unfortunately it did not arrive in Arusha until the last day.
We were placed in the hands of Benjamin, our guide and driver for the 5 days and our chef Solomon. Right from the word go Benjamin was very in tune with exactly what we were looking for on the safari. He knew all of the National Parks like the back of his hand and constantly ensured that we were looked after. He made every effort to stay away from the hoards of jeeps whilst still always making sure we saw every animal. We even set him missions (jokingly) to see specific animals which he always completed. He even completed the mission to find us a lion hunt. I would say that Benjamin went out of his way to ensure that we were comfortable and felt looked after and despite the incredibly long hours he worked he always smiled and wanted to joked with us. To finish he even took us to the airport to collect our long lost baggage.
Solomon was the joker of the group. He is a very funny guy and a talented chef. I still miss his early morning pancakes. We were especially keen to try local Tanzanian food which he cooked perfectly but always provided western alternatives. Me being greedy would always eat both. Solomon would always ensure that we were comfortable and well fed.
The safari itself was one of the most incredible things I've experienced. I saw everything that I wanted to see and am thrilled to have spent time in the Serengeti. The facilities are far cleaner than I expected. Having travelled a lot in many countries around the world I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the facilities. The jeep was very comfortable and I was blown away by the sheer number of animals, especially Lions. My tip would be to make sure that you spend 2 nights at least in the Serengeti. It's so vast that you will only scratch the surface by staying a single night. If you can handle roughing it make sure you camp as it offers an extra experience to sleep under the clear Serengeti stars and listen to the wild animals during the night
I would 100% say that Benjamin and Solomon made an incredible experience into something extra special and I'm pleased to call them both my friends after this. If you do choose to do this tour with Colours Africa make sure you request Benjamin and Solomon and make sure you give them a nice tip at the end as they both deserve it.
Thank you to the whole Colours Africa team

Made our dreams come true
Colours Africa made our safari dreams come true in Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. We worked with Hamisi to plan the trip. He is quick to respond, answer all questions, and share his recommendations. Our tour guide, Benjamin, was amazing. He was able to find every animal we wanted to see (even elusive ones like leopards, cheetahs, and rhinos), was a great driver, and fun to be around. The vehicle was clean and spacious, and the accommodations and food that they booked for us were top tier. Highly, highly recommend Colours Africa to anyone visiting Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater! We did a 5 day fly in, drive out safari.

Best safari experience
We did a five day safari, which was incredibly well organized from the day we booked it to the end of the tour.
Our guide, Norton, knew everything about the animals. We saw many lions, elephants, hippos, even 3 leopards and a rhino!!! Our cook, Suleman, cooked the nicest food for us. Some other groups only got sandwiches for lunch, but we always got something freshly cooked. Our lodge was very nice and the tents were big. Mattresses and sleeping bags were provided.
All in all we were very happy we chose Colours of Africa. Asante sana!

Reliable, well managed and friendly
Communication, service , atmosphere, safety everything was very much okay. Did Tarngire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and that was fantastic: saw the big five and much much more! Meals were absolutely amazing and looked much better than wat other companies provided. Suliman the cook was so nice! And driver / guide Benjamin was the best in spotting and reading the animals so he got us frontrow whenever ther was something to see.
We did 4 days and that was enough for us as a family. Camping on the Ngorongoro was cold but we all slept well and loved it.

Magnificent experience!
We booked the private 3-day tour to Gombe Stream National with Colours Africa Tours and Safaris with a start on the 8th of July in the beginning of the February. We looked through many local tour operators before we stopped our choice on Colours Africa Tours as the guys demonstrated the perfect approach, professionality and reliability preparing us a tailored solution which perfectly fit our needs. And I should admit that we didn’t regret that choice not even for a second.
The trip was organized very well. Hamis, our personal assistant who stayed with us from the moment we arrived to the Kigoma airport till the departure day, did his best to render our trekking experience unforgettable. The aperitivo and the dinner at the shore of Tanganyika Lake illuminated by the light of the fire which he organized for us were just incredible. During our stay in Gombe we had a private cook so that we could enjoy the fresh prepared meals 3 times a day

Great!
We went on two safaris with OMAR: Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. Omar was polite and professional. He is very knowledgeable about the wildlife in Tanzania and takes you to all the best places to see the animals. Best safari because of Omar’s expertise.

Would recommend, very professional operators
We had a great experience with Colours Africa. They replied swiftly to any queries we had and were always ready to help with any issues we had even if they didn’t pertain to the tour booked with them.
The guide and cook they provided were wonderful. The food was amazingly tasty and the guide very knowledgeable and he managed to show us most animals we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend this operator as we had a smooth and good experience with them!
