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!!

Fantastic Safari Experience with Nkollotours - Highly Recommend!
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!

Knowledgeable guides, unforgettable experience
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.

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

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

Perfect tour guide JOEL is the best!
Best tour guide ever! Make sure you ask for JOEL. Very knowledgeable of Arusha, waterfalls, Kilimanjaro & thermal waters! Great personality. Started at 8 am. Ended at 7 pm. Full day but very worth it! The hike to see the waterfalls is so worth it. Just beautiful !!! See pics below.

Beautiful safari experience with a great team
We had the adventure of a lifetime with our family and friends, exploring four wonderful parks: Serengeti, Tarangire, Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater. Joseph, our guide, expertly navigated the sometimes rough roads and tracks, ensuring our comfort. He had an exceptional talent for finding the best wildlife photo opportunities and planning ahead to avoid overcrowded areas.
The accommodations, guest services, and meals were absolutely perfect, and the hospitality staff exceeded our expectations with their warm and helpful nature. The wildlife viewing was superb, featuring some unbelievable close-up encounters.
From the initial inquiry to the final drop-off at the airport, the service was outstanding and offered great value for money. I highly recommend Nkollotours. Allan and his team demonstrated excellent organizational skills, and Joseph’s patience and guidance were top-class all around!

Perfectly organized family vacation by Nkollo tours
Our family adventure with Nkollo Tours was absolutely magnificent, from our initial inquiry to the day we bid farewell to Africa! Months before embarking on our dream family vacation, I reached out to Nkollo Tours. Each message was attentively handled by Allan and Cathe, who proved to be incredibly helpful, gracious, and professional throughout the entire process. They organized the finest possible trip with the information provided before our arrival. They even assisted us with essential preparations such as flights and transfers to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, we were briefed on concerns about transportation, lodging, and dining all expertly managed by their team. Their commitment surpassed our expectations, ensuring our family vacation was a success.
Our journey led us through the best destinations including Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. The accommodations were superb, and the cuisine was exquisite. Jefta our guide, was exceptional providing safety, knowledge, humour, and friendly to our kids throughout our journey. He ensured we not only encountered all the animals on our wishlist but also stumbled upon many delightful surprises along the way. From majestic lions to leopards and cheetahs, we marvelled at the wonders of the Big 5 multiple times. We were fortunate to witness large lion pride with their playful cubs and even saw several rare Black Rhinos in the Ngorongoro Crater. Additionally, our cultural excursion to Lake Eyasi provided an enriching and unforgettable experience.
In summary, our family vacation with Nkollo Tours surpassed all expectations, and every penny was well worth it.
