Breathtaking
The booking process was easy and Nkollo tours answered all questions and catered to adaptions we requested. The safari was amazing and well organised. Our guide, Emmanuel was very knowledgeable and knew the best spots to go to in the parks. The food we ate was tasty and suited all our dietary requirements. All our questions were happily answered and nothing was too much to ask for. Nkollo tours helped organising onward transport after our safari which was very helpful. Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to visit Tanzania! Excellent service and had a great time ☺️ made our first time in Tanzania a memory for life.

Emmanuel had a warm character, attentive to all our needs and requests.
I would strongly recommend Nkollo Tours & Safaris the whole experience was outstanding and much more than I could have imagined. From the start to the end the service has been of an excellent standard. The tour guide was friendly, accommodating and educated us about Tanzania culture and the food. This was an all female family trip and we felt safe throughout the Tour. Our trips to the Tarangire Safari Park and Ngorongoro were an experience of a lifetime seeing animals in their natural habitat close up.

Awesome experience provided by awesome tour provider with awesome staff!!!
I have been places in my life, but the trip to Tansania and everything I happened to experience during my stay will stay forever in my heart and memories as one of the best "escapes" of all times. And none of this would be the case if not for Nkollo Tours & Safaris taking the best possible care of me and my friend Melanie.
The whole package was just brilliant and worth every penny!
Allan is a very fast, thorough and friendly communicator and organiser. Before our trip we had a million questions, doubts and wishes, but Allan really did answer EVERY EACH of them in a very timely manner. Always super friedly, always engaged, very precise - many Germans could learn from him of what great service means ;)
All our wishes were taken for granted and fulfilled instantly.
Benson - our guide to Materuni, Kikuletwa and Arusha - picked us up at the airport and we got on to the same wave just like a second later. Easy-going, caring, intelligent - a real sweetheart having an answer to each stupid question of ours. It wasn't even midday that we decided to invite him out for a dinner on our last night in Arusha - that is how much we enjoyed his company.
The next day we were picked up by the best Safari guide of all times - Malisa! One sees straight away that he loves his job, and his knowledge about ALL animals you meet on your way (starting from a little colourful bird, ending with a rhino and elephant) is definitely broader than that of whole Google. I promise! We had such a lovely and splendid time during our 4 days of Safari, you can't even imagine!
We were taken a great care of, the food was delicious and there were always enough drinks in the fridge. Malisa "had the right nose" for where to go in order to see a bunch a lions, a herd of elephants, a sleeping leopard or a feeding cheetah. We learned so much from Malisa and got to hear the most amazing stories. We invited also him to the dinner at our last night in Arusha.
Also the back-up crew (cook Simba with his asisstants) were good fun and very devoted to what they are doing. We had some great talks, extra dessert and African dancing in the kitchen.
To be honest - you plan your (budget) trip to Africa and never expect EVERYTHING to go smoothly, right? You have your bias, you have your fears and doubts. But among these guys I felt at home and in peace, all doubts gone in less than 60 seconds after the arrival. My vacation was once of the best things I have done in my life and I am so very grateful to Nkollo Team for making it happen exactly the way it was!
Allan, Benson, Malisa - you are my brothers from another mother ;) and I feel honored to have met you in my life. ASANTE SANA rafiki yangu <3

Fantastic professional made for a memorable adventure
Benson was our tour guide for a trip to the Materuni waterfall, coffee tour and Kikuletwa hot springs. He was very patient and understanding of us as my wife struggled to hike to the waterfall in the wet and windy conditions. It was awesome speaking to him about Tanzanian way of ligr and history to get a genuine feel for the local culture.
Lucas was our guide for the Ngorongoro crater. Funny and sociable, he was excellent at spotting the animals and we were lucky to even spot the rhinos which we couldn't yet see at the Masai Mara.

What a great service!
I traveled many years and booked many tours in different countries. When a booked my safari tour last minut I was very surprised by the flexibility and possibilities they gave me. They really helped me creating a tour fitting my travel plan.
From the first pick up at my hotel in Zanzibar until the last day driving me home they did absolutely everything to make my stay comfortable. Great drivers, great guides, and during the tour my contact person Allan checked many times if everything was good.
Many complements to this company!

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.

Unforgettable experience thanks to amazing service and organization
We had an amazing experience with booking our safari through Nkollo Tours! We chose a 5 day safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire with two nights in a lodge and two nights camping. Throughout the whole booking process, Allan was always very easy to reach and super helpful with any questions we had. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro two nights before the start of the safari, we were picked up by driver Benson who offered us a warm welcome to Tanzania. Allan himself visited us the day before our safari at our lodge as well to brief us on the details of our safari, which we really appreciated and showed great customer care. We loved every minute of the safari experience since the tour operator organised everything and made sure the tour went smoothly which made us feel very relaxed and enjoy ourselves throughout our experience. Also, the guides did a great job and made sure we saw lots of animals and the food offered in the tour was amazing!

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.
