Was superb, I enjoyed my stay there
We sent requests to several operators and ended up with Nkollo Tours since Allan tailored it to what we requested. We arrived at the airport and we were picked up by our driver to the hotel in Arusha. After our arrival, we got a comprehensive briefing about what to expect during the safari. James was our guide for the 4 days and was very informative and fun to be with. He tried to make our experience unforgettable and amazing. The accommodations met our expectations and the whole trip went beyond what we expected. We luckily managed to see the big 5 animals from the parks we visited. For the 4 days, we saw so many animals, birds, plants, and insects. We had our phones and cameras fully charged since the safari jeep had charging ports and even binoculars to observe animals from a distance. The lodges had delicious meals with varieties. We visited a Masai Village which was so fascinating. The next day after our safari, Allan organized a day tour to Kilimanjaro before our evening flight. Benson was our guide, he was knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. The 40 minutes hike to Materuni Waterfall was beautiful. After the hike, went to the local village for coffee making. The coffee and local food lunch was also served at the village which was also good. Next, we went to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, a relaxing way to finish the day. I truly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone traveling in Tanzania. Asante sana.

Absolutely amazing. From start to finish nothing was too much. Went above and beyond.
Honestly amazing. Didn't just want to take the money, advised the best place to go. Sorted it out very quickly and nothing was too much. Both drivers where amazing and friendly. The food and drink was out of this world and the trip itself was out of this world. Gutted I can't go again. Second trip with this company and can't recommend enough.

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!!

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.

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.

Marvellous
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!

EXCEPTIONAL
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.

They are well prepared in delivering services
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
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.
