Best ever
5/5

We had the absolute best time with Colours of Africa Safari during our trip to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Our guide, Nicholas, was incredible—he made sure we saw all the animals we hoped for and more! His expertise and ability to schedule each day around our preferences made the experience truly perfect. From the moment we booked, communication was seamless, and everything was organized smoothly. We couldn't recommend this company enough! Asante Sana Nicholas and Colours of Africa x

Super and expert
5/5

What an unforgettable experience!
First and foremost, I must mention the availability and kindness of Jesemina, who designed a safari proposal tailored specifically to our desires and requests, fulfilling all our expectations. She always responded within minutes and was extremely well-prepared to address all our doubts. :)

As for the safari trip itself, we were fortunate to have Benjamin as our guide. His vast experience allowed us to witness almost every type of animal, alongside breathtaking landscapes and scenes that will forever remain in our hearts.

Lastly, we must give a special thanks to Alan, who, on our final day (after spending four days on safari in the three main national parks), offered us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture of the Kilimanjaro tribes. His involvement made it an incredible day for us.

We are grateful for the entire experience—from the safari to the accommodations—and what can we say about the food and the people? Simply incredible.

Professionnalism - amazing 13 days safari
5/5

Me and my son went in july 2024 for a 13 days private safari organised, planned and managed by COLOURS OF AFRICA.
During months, we where in contacts via Whatsapp to prepare the travel: the fexibility, speed and awareness where remarkable.
COLOURS OF AFRICA representatives where always on point, ready to find solutions for all kind of questions specialy for the payment .
Our program was planning 7 days safari from Arusha (reserves of Tarangire, of Serengety -3 days in central and north- for the great migration, the conservation area and the crater of Ngogoro Ngoro, Lac Natron) then drive to Maternuni falls - village with coffee demo, hot springs (close to Killimanjaro), then domestic flight Kilimanjaro/Dar es Salaam/ Mafia island - 3 days stay to observe whale sharks.
Our safari driver in the reserves, KINDU, is a amazing person, guide and driver who accompanied us for the best. He was forwarding something all the time, so we where lucky to see all th Big Five, thanks to Kindu! Kindu is always watching all helpfull detail for your satisfaction. Allan, who was guiding us in the Kilimanjaro area was fun and helpfull.
A special mention to Yousouf and Afro Whale Shark Safari, based in front of New Afro Bungalows. We could go twice and where so lucky to see many whale sharks, also one of the biggest one of the area! The team is fast on the spot.
Special thanks to Godlisten and Amis.
100% successfull experience!

Really An Amazing And Unforgettable Safari
5/5

Really an amazing and unforgettable safari experience for my family, my wife and myself.
We witnessed shocking migration and rivercrossing, as well as rhinos, leopards and lions, as we wished! And we enjoyed every beautiful view of accomodations. Our guide, Kindu, a good Chinese speaker, is always friendly and willing to offer us best experience.
Before and after we book safari, our sales, Justin, was always quickly responsing us even 7*24 with great patience to solve our concerns and adjusted our plan to offer us the best.
After this time of safari, we'd like to come again in other seasons to enjoy different activities. And I'm sure to choose colorsafrica again to be our guide if coming again.
Best wishes to colors africa, Justin and Kindu, hope everything becomes better and better.

It was a great trip.
5/5

We had a great holiday. While visiting the wildlife parks, our guide Kindu accompanied us. He has a lot of knowledge and makes sure you can see as much wildlife as possible. The list of seeing wild animals was very long with us. Then we flew on to Mafia Island where we swam with whale sharks. Both the tour guides and the people at the locations where you stay will ensure that you have a nice, carefree holiday. Thank you for that. Lian

Excellent
5/5

Saw Big 5 and many other anmials in amazing wildlife parks. Enjoyed the warm and relaxed Tanzanian culture. After the safari we visited Mafia Island where we swam with whale sharks and tropical fish. Our guides Kindu and Godlisten of Colours Africa were very pleasant company, knowlegeable and have organized everything in detail. This made this trip an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend.

Truly amazing, efficient and well organised
5/5

Thank you Colors Of Africa! Truly an amazing experience! Obviously, the animals were really impressive, and the views were untouched. Our driver for the safari, Kindu, was a well of animal science, we could ask him any question and he would answer. After that, for the tour in Kilimanjaro, our guide, Allan, was a kind and really funny young man. We could not get bored with him. In Mafia Island, with the guidance of one of the owner of the company, Godlisten, we used a local tour to go see the whale sharks. In this agency (Afro Whale Shark Safari), Yussouf was the best captain we could wish for. Honest about what we could see and with an amazing sight allowing us to see the whale sharks twice!

The organisation was without a flaw, not once were we left on our own to find something.

A tiring but amazing trip, would recommend using Colors Of Africa and would without a second of hesitation do it again the exact same way

Trip of a lifetime with Colours Africa
5/5

My husband and I traveled from the US to Africa for an African safari vacation in June 2024 and used Colours of Africa -- and it wound up being the trip of a lifetime. They customized our entire trip to suit what we wanted to do on our vacation which was amazing.

After the long journey from North Carolina to Tanzania we were exhausted and Colours of Africa showed up right at the airport to whisk us away. They handled EVERY single component of our trip, with drivers taking us to and from airports and amazing tour guides. We chose to do the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar and did the luxury hotel package (Melias and Four Seasons).

Our tour guide in the Serengeti (Kindu) was absolutely amazing. We were on a private tour bus the entire trip just the two of us vs. if you book with the hotels directly who have 15-20 people on full safari trucks the same size. The amazing thing about this is we could tell Kindu what we wanted to see and he would take us to those animals. We saw all of the big 5. He was so kind and fun to tour with always early waiting for us. He's been a tour guide for a long time unlike a lot of the younger drivers in the Serengeti and clearly knew exactly where to go to find the animals. We were also always parked front and center a stones throw away from the animals so had the BEST viewing point. He was a 10 out of 10 driver - highly recommend!

The Serengeti was truly magical and one of the neatest places we've ever seen and my hubby and I have traveled internationally a ton (Maldivees, Qatar, Hawaii, Turks, Australia, etc.) Definitey the highlight of our trip! We saw a cheetah kill on our last day and plenty of lions, hippos, wildebeests and zebras.

The Ngorongoro Crater was a bit of a hike in the vehicle (I believe it was a four hour ride?) but truly amazing to see how the Masai tribes live on the journey.

The Grand Melia was the most beautiful hotel we've ever seen - note they do not have air conditioning. It was fine, though, as we got in later in the day, and it's chilly at night. Take lots of pics if you stay there as you'll want those amazing memories from those hotel views into the crater.

If we skipped any of the trip it probably would've been Zanzibar. You can't use the beaches at all as the hotel's beach is public and its completely full of locals hounding you the entire time. You can't sit on a towel ever for 10 seconds because they won't go away. We opted for this third leg of the trip as we wanted some beach relaxation at the end, but I prob would've chosen a different last leg. Prob not another safari as we saw enough animals in the first two stops and were ready for a relaxing way to end the trip...

A few minor hiccops we had, which is common on long journeys, was our luggage was lost by the airline when we arrived on day 1. Our tour guide instantly pivoted and took us to local shops to buy some clothes and socks and whatever we needed to make it through the first day. Colours of Africa picked up our luggage the next day and brought it to the airstrip in the Serengeti so we had clothes the next morning without batting an eye. When we checked out of our Zanzibar hotel the hotel tried to charge us for food even though we bought an all-inclusive package and Colours instantly took care of that too an the hotel wiped away the charges for them even though they wouldn't for us. That hotel also gave us a lower level room than we booked and same Colours instantly called and got our room changed and upgraded when we called and let them know - they went above an beyond for EVERYTHING!!!!! They were completely on it and made it the trip of a lifetime.

Tips for anyone taking this trip: Definitely pack two days of clothes in your carry-on in case your luggage is lost like ours was. You need a good bug spray as the testes flies are bad. Go for a luxury hotel if you can afford it as it will make a difference in your trip!

I would recommend Colours of Africa to anyone traveling on a safari trip - they are truly 10 out of 10, legit, honest, kind, hardworking people! They will go above and beyond to meet every ask that you have. Thank you for an AMAZING trip Colours Africa! We hope to come back again with our kids one day!
