Best experience of my life!
At the end of the day there are a lot of safari companies and they all go to the same park destinations. Therefore, at the end of the day your safari experience is going to boil down to how management runs the company and the employees. The level of customer service that this company offers blew my mind. From the onset the communication was top tier. I never assume anything so I tend to ask a lot of questions. Some people can make you feel like you're overthinking things and doing too much but they answered every question and concern quickly and professionally, which warmed my heart from the start. Once we arrived, the p/u was on time and the driver was so helpful and friendly. Again I can't stress this enough, all the safari companies pretty much travel the same safari circuit. Your experience boils down to how management runs the company. This was one of the best experiences of my life. Benjamin is a walking encyclopedia. He knows much about the animals and even studies on his own. He just enjoys his work. He went over and beyond to make sure we squeezed everything out of the experience. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've received this level of service. Then.... the food! I am from Texas where we cherish good food. I thought the other reviews were exaggerating about how good the food was. They were not! The chef was amazing. I have never seen someone take so much pride in preparing meals. He loves to take pictures of his food, he is so proud and puts so much love into preparing them.. I thought this was sweet. The other safari companies had box lunches, it kind of upset me they didn't care enough to offer them hot meals like we had. I could go on and on. Bottom line, I'm telling everyone I know to book with them. I will never forget this trip. Bravo guys!

Amazing trip!
This trip with this company was great. 2 days for the serengeti park is enough in my opinion. It would only be worth adding a day at Ngorongoro Crater but maybe next time! It is worth appreciating the guide and at the same time our driver who was always eager to tell various interesting facts about the animals and the surrounding area, and always stopped a car as long as we wanted to take the photos of animals we met along the way. There was no rush or strict schedule. We came back from the safari even an hour later than originally planned! :) Of course I have to mention our cook as well. Unlike most other safaris, where people only got sandwiches and fruits prepared in advance, in this case we had fresh and warm dishes prepared on a regular basis, which was a very nice convenience. However, I regret that those two days have passed so quickly, but I will try to come back to see the crater!

Unforgettable trip
We will remember this trip our whole life. We were 5 people including a teenager and we went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Nogorongoro and Manyara. We saw the big five and so many animals and beautiful birds: thousands of zebras, gnous, girafes, buffalos, water bucks, lions, austrich, baboons, facoshers, impalas, gazelles, and even leopards and a cheetah eating an animal in the grass and a rhino. The period was the beginning of the great migration (end of October, beginning of November), and we could see « troupeau » running down the hills, crossing the road, just like in films :-). But the cherry on the cake during this journey was definitely our guide, Kindu, and our cook, Sule. Kindu is a super driver, very careful, and a very generous and kind man: he told us a lot of stories about the animals, the plants and the birds that we saw and he did everything to make this trip unforgettable. Plus, he speaks English and Chinese! And Sule prepared such delicious dishes! It was a chance to have warm food from breakfast till dinner, cooked every day, with fresh ingredients, and not have lunch boxes at all. It was very comfy and welcoming to share these moments with both of them and we feel all very grateful. If you want to sleep among impalas and zebras, eat delicious food and make unique trip, ask Godlisten, the organiser, to call Kindu and Sule!

Amazing Safari experience
We had an incredible experience on our 4 day Safari! From the start, Hamis was kindly answering all our questions and then even helped us to book a flight after as we had to start our safari experience a day later than planned but he was very accommodating. We were a lucky group and managed to see all the big 5 animals! We had very close encounters with zebras, lions, elephants and even had a spectacular moment watching a cheetah take its prey up a tree. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves animals and wildlife. A huge shoutout to our driver and tour guide Kundu who had such knowledge of animals and was able to answer all of our questions and he had incredible sight of spotting some of the animals from a far distance. Our chef Richard who cooked up some lovely warming meals whilst we were out camping and then even turned into a mechanic when we had some vehicle trouble. Our whole experience was amazing and we are thankful to all those who helped make it happen.

Sensational Trip!
We did the 4 day safari (Tarangiere, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater) and 1 day Materuni Waterfalls (so no Manyara!)).
We can definitely recommend this tour!
The tour is a great mix of 'original' gamedrive safari (4 days) and cultural experience at the Materuni Waterfalls and the Coffee Farms (1 day).
During the Safari Days our guide Benjamin did great effort to show us the best spots to see the various animals and we were lucky to see spectacular wildlife scenes! We saw all the animals we wanted to see, even lions hunting and a lioness while eating - we missed to see the Rhino though - can't always be lucky :)
Our chef Eric was a great cook and took care of our physical well-being. :)
You have to be aware though, that this is a budget tour and camping in a tent the middle of the Serengeti is certainly not made for everyone. I loved it though and that was another once-in-a-lifetime experience. Don't forget to bring headlights, powerbanks and warm clothes as well for the night!
The one day at Materuni Waterfalls was also great fun - Joel was a funny guide and we had a great day to see how coffee is originally made - and we even could participate in making our own coffee to drink afterwards. The coffee actually was sensational and also it was great to learn a little bit more about the culture of the people around Kilimanjaro. After drinking our (own selfmade!) coffee, we made a 30 minutes hike to Materuni Waterfalls a cool place to hang out (a little bit too cold for a swim for us - but can certainly be done!) - and finished the day with a sensational buffet of local food which was served at the Coffee Place. Superb day!
All in all we look back with no regrets at all and heartly recommend the tour to anybody who wants to have a once-in-a-lifetime-experience.

Great safari for affordable price
Great experience. We were able to see so many different animals from very close. Especially camping in the wild in between zebra's and buffalo's made the experience very unique. Although you're very far away from the luxury amenities the cook managed to make amazing food which was different everyday and always delicious. Thanks Colours Africa for this tour and special thanks to Joseph, Simon and Dionys for the guiding and the food.

Knowledgeable and knew where to park
Our guide was Kindu. He was so good at finding the right spots to go and the right stops to stop. Even when an animal sighting was swarmed by other cars, he always found the right place to park. We did a 2 day safari of Tarangire and Ngotongoro Crater. We got to see 4 of the 5 big 5 and it included lunch.
