Silas was incredible and experienced guide that made the trip unforgettable!
5/5

The 2 day safari trip we took was incredible with breakfast, lunch and dinner with our private room and bathroom was very hospitable. The staff was such a pleasure from the chef, bartenders, and even the security guard. Our Tourguide Silas was very knowledgeable about the safaris of Ngoro Ngoro Crater and Tarangire. He was very patient and his eyesight was very sharp. He respected the animals more than the other guides and gave us many opportunities to take pictures. He gave us many memorable moments that left us in awe. Would definitely recommend!

Well organised and professional guided tour, with also some local community focus.
5/5

We had a great 3-day safari tour organised by Nkollo. Our guide David was very knowledgeable about the animals and nature, with lots of interesting stories. We have seen many mamals and birds, up to more than 70 different species.
All was perfectly organised and planned in time.
Also the stay in the Selous Safari Lodge was excellent.

Knowledgeable guides, unforgettable experience
5/5

My girlfriend and I did a 3 days safari at Nyerere with Nkollo Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience! The transfers where smooth and Our driver Keresa and David the guide, were both fantastic knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready to answer our questions. They ensured we saw as many animals as possible, and David was an excellent spotter. Thanks to him, we saw lions with their cubs, along with giraffes, monkeys, impalas, buffalo, wildebeests, zebras, and even warthogs!

Our driver, Keresa, was also great very safe and professional, making our journey through the park comfortable and enjoyable. The selous safari lodge was lovely and relaxing, complete with a pool, which was perfect after a day of exploring. We loved the atmosphere with the playful monkeys running around. The food was delicious too

The boat safari was another highlight, with a guide who shared fascinating insights about the various animals and their habitats. However you get to see few animals. The walking safari was fascinating,a bushman whose lively personality made the experience unique and memorable.

Overall, it was an incredible adventure, and we highly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone looking to explore Nyerere park. They truly made our holiday.

Fantastic Safari Experience with Nkollotours - Highly Recommend!
5/5

We had a fantastic experience with Nkollotours! Communication with Allan was quick and easy. He responded to my emails and WhatsApp messages promptly before the safari, arranged our hotel stay the day before, and clearly explained all the details of the safari tour, making us feel well-prepared.
Our group of three friends travelled in a spacious safari jeep, which allowed us to stand up for great views and photos. Our tour guide, Ema, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the region, the animals, and the local culture. His friendly personality and sense of humour made the long drives enjoyable. Thanks to his expertise, we saw the Big Five up close and had plenty of chances to take great pictures.
The food was delicious, with the cook preparing simple but tasty lunches and dinners each day. The accommodations were excellent, featuring a mix of mid-range lodges and comfortable hotels, some of which offered amenities like swimming pools and Wi-Fi. Each place we stayed was well-maintained, providing a relaxing and comfortable environment after our daily adventures. Transfers between locations were smooth, making the entire experience stress-free. Overall, our safari with Nkollotours exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding, and every detail was handled professionally. We felt well taken care of from start to finish, making the entire trip enjoyable and memorable. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable safari experience in Arusha, we highly recommend choosing Nkollotours. You won’t be disappointed!

Perfect Safari agency
5/5

Together with my two friends we decided to book for a 6days safari for lodge accommodations,the operators gave us many options of tour packages to fit our budget and we chose the best out of them then we had to pay in advance to secure the booking. On the arrival the operator picked us from the airport at Kilimanjaro then straight to the Impala hotel that we booked for an extra cost. They came for us next morning after our breakfast then started our tour around 8am. It was an amazing experience for us in Tanzania inside the wildlife for 5 nights in national parks,we saw almost all of the wild animals,the maasai culture on top of that we slept in good hotels,the hotel accommodation and meals were so perfect. After the tour from the National parks we requested an extra day for city tour then we went out to the hot spring out of town. Chemka Hot Springs is the best place to visit after a safari adventure badluck i lost my camera i had alot of photos from there but Chemka oasis is a unique phenomenon you can carry your constumes for swimming also do camping if you want too,we really enjoyed and I can’t wait for my next visit. They deserve a 5star for their excellent service.

5/5


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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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.

5/5

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!

Professional and service minded, knowledgeable and good humored
5/5

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.
