Organized, professional, and courteous
The tour my wife and I had with Colours Africa was absolutely the most amazing trip of our lives. My wife and I booked the 17 day Safari/Chimp Trek/Zanzibar beach package with 2 days added in Zanzibar, and it exceeded our wildest expectations.
Our safari guide Benjamin took us on five days’ worth of driving through four parks and did a fantastic job of finding really special moments. He had an almost sixth sense for finding things like elephant and lion herds migrating across roads, and at times we’d be the first car on the scene to see something really great. He was also very skilled at getting into excellent position when we came somewhere that already had a bunch of cars on the scene. Our chef Barack, who came with us, made delicious meals, and both Ben and Barack were super welcoming and accommodating.
The trip to Gombe was amazing, and one of the company partners Hamis came with us as we got up close and personal with several of the chimp troupes and stayed in an amazing lakefront “glamping” tent. And Zanzibar was very special, as were the accommodations. And all transportation was arranged and it went very smoothly, and all our drivers were very nice guys.
I spent a lot of time researching safaris and getting quotes, and what really set Colours Africa apart was that they sent a very professional and detailed itinerary and the cost was much less than the other quotes for what we got. Part of the reason for the cost is that the accommodation includes camping, but even after upgrading to staying in luxury tents and upgrading our accommodation in Zanzibar to a nicer resort the cost was still much less than I would have expected. In fact, even before we got to Zanzibar I felt like the trip had paid for itself.
I highly recommend Colours Africa and I am already dreaming of a return to Tanzania!

Amazing experience with unique personal safaritour!
Where to begin.. a 5-star rating isn’t even enough! We wanted a 6-day safari, not standard itinerary, and we were not flexible in dates. Yet, Godlisten of Colours Africa Tours customized a tour for us and made it happen. Initially we looked for a group tour, but got the option to go for a private tour, and chose that one. Best call ever; 360 view, unique romantic private experience, full attention from tourguide, etc.
From beginning to end, everything was very well arranged. The on-site briefing, the daily amazing cooking from Baba Tao, the driving and guiding of Benjamin - truly a professional with knowledge and experience of wildlife and nature, unique animal-spotting skills (we have seen more than the big 5), taking al the time to explain and answer your questions -, and lastly the hospitality and helpfulness of them all since we lost our luggage in connecting flights and had to go on safari without it. Lending jackets from the company, and assisting in calling with the airline desk was done without hesitation.
We will be back in another season, and would definitely recommend to anyone to go with Colours Africa Tours, a small local operator who will do anything in their power to give you the fullest and unique experience to remember!
Asante sana!

Excellent and organised
We are from Malaysia and we had booked our 5-Day safari with Colours Africa Tours. Pius was very patient and accommodative with our queries and requests before our trip; we added on few more days to tour around Kilimanjaro and Arusha and Pius provided good recommendations as per our budget and needs. Upon reaching Tanzania, Hamis came to our accommodation to meet with us and provide us more details about our upcoming tours. Everything was so well-organized and we did not have to worry about anything. Our 5-day safari was definitely the highlight of our trip, with Sule being our chef and Norton our guide and driver. They were very warm and engaging, making us feel very much at home! Thanks to them, we were able to spot all Big 5 and this made it the most memorable trip ever.

Colours Africa did an amazing job beginning to end.
Colours Africa did an amazing job from beginning to end. Our safari driver/guide Patience was really great. Very knowledgeable, a great driver. Very happy with how he took care of our family and was truly interested in making sure we had a good experience. We were even able to see a rhino which is quite difficult!!

Chimp trek was an unforgettable beautiful experience
We booked a Chimp Trek in Gombe National Park with Hamis. If you are thinking about it, just do it! You will not regret the experience. The experience was so special, and the best part of our 20 day trip in Tanzania. We spent about 3 days and 2 nights at Lake Tanganyika. which is beautiful, calm, and remote. Then you spend an evening in Kigoma — we wish Hamis organized an activity for us there. At the lake, there are not many tourists there, so you feel removed from the whole world. The tented lodge at Lake Tanganyika is less fancy than some of the safari lodges, but totally fine for 2 nights., Hamis was very helpful in booking the flights we needed. He was also very communicative over WhatsApp. All parts of the trip were very well organized. When we finally go on our two chimp treks, every time we see a chimp, it is amazing. You can spend a lot of time watching them and taking photos. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the chimps and we learned a lot about their behaviors and families. Yes, the experience is potentially more expensive than other safari options, but it is so unique that I still recommend it even for the price.

Amazing time!
Absolutely amazing experience. Our guide Penda was so knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we saw what we wanted to see (he also tells the best stories!). We looked at so many companies prior to going and we were so happy with Colours Africa as we had an awesome experience and found the price to be the most reasonable!

Very well organised tour that definitely exceeded our expectations!
My friend and I booked a 6-day safari tour with Colours Africa which ended being an amazing and unforgettable experience for us.
To begin with, the communication with Godlisten beforehand was very smooth and he was willing to help us design the best possible itinerary according to what we had already researched for. We decided to visit Tarangire, Serengeti for 3 days, Ngorongoro and lake Manyara. We had 2 nights in a lodge and 3 nights in a camping site inside the parks which I think was a very good choice if you are feeling comfortable with camping in the wild. The first day our guide was Freddie and for the rest was Joseph, both of them were very knowledgeable, could spot animals super easily and were willing to engage with us and answer to our million questions. Having Joseph for 5 days in total definitely made our trip an even better experience.
In case you want to get a flight in the last evening of your safari, make sure to book the latest possible and try to put some pressure to everyone because as you will understand things in Tanzania are working '' Pole Pole'' which means ''slow slow'' and is literally true.
If I could change one thing in our itinerary afterwards, it would be to skip Lake Manyara and add one more day in Serengeti since in the lake there were really few animals and is not the easiest ground for the more fascinating animals for us tourists.
Overall, Colours Africa and Godlisten is a highly reccommended tour agency for you to organise an unforgettable experience in north Tanzania.

That was the best choice ever!
Professional service, fast contact, everything was done end to end. We could easily modify the plan with this company to be in 100% suitable for us. Strongly recommend! This company is very perspective.
