Always caring
5/5

I opted for 5 days, 4 nights budget safari. An amazing experience.
From minute one we've had the best guide possible in Joseph, whose encyclopaedic knowledge was ensless. As was his patience. He can also spot any animal from far far away.
Special thanks to Godlisten as well.
Need also to mention the food. Really really good. Freshly cooked all the time, three meals a day, marvelous quality. The chefs done great!!
Two nights in tents in savannah highly recommended. You can hear a range of animals, and if you're lucky like me even hear a buffalo eating grass...
Can only recommend Colours Africa!! Far exceeded all my expectations.

The BEST of the best safari
5/5

A unique, wonderful, incredible experience.
everything went as smoothly as possible, that is to say very simply and perfectly.
Since the first day when, with my wife, we contacted Colors Africa Tours and safaris.
Hamis is a great person, available, serious, rigorous, he answers everything, even your simplest questions.
Everything went as we hoped, everything was organized, planned ahead mainly via whatsapp.
The safari was incredible, thanks to our wonderful French-speaking guide Emmanuel and our driver Godlissen we saw thousands of animals during this safari,
they stopped at nothing to offer us the best points of view, they know where to go
find the rarest animals. Emmanuel, our French-speaking guide was a remarkable guide with his great knowledge and knowledge of animals, anecdotes and the history of his country and landscapes. He had answered everything. Godlissen, our experienced and very safe driver, ready to do anything to make us live an unforgettable experience. both were very professional and unquantifiable kindness.
Thanks to you and the whole team of Colors Africa Tours and Safaris,
you are the best.
I would recommend you without hesitation to my family and friends.
Thanks again !!

Amazing experience
5/5

This was our first time going to Africa, or on safari, and there were so many companies to choose from. We ended up choosing Colours Africa because we felt they were best responding to our questions. This turned out to be a great decision as honestly I can't fault them at all!

The safari was an amazing experience and all of the staff from Colours Africa were great. Obviously it's all about seeing the animals and our driver Benjamin was just incredible. His eyesight was something else, often seeing things while driving that we would then struggle to find with binoculars!

Our chef Suleiman was super friendly and we had hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day which were all really tasty.

One of our group was ill and we missed the first day. The owners came down to our hotel themselves to check how he was doing and arranged for us to catch up the next day.

Hopefully I have the chance to visit Tanzania again some day and I wouldn't think twice about booking with Colours Africa again.

Amazing Safari & experience
5/5

We traveled to Tanzania for our Honeymoon.
I got in touch with many tour operators ahead of it.
All communications with Colours Africa Tours & Safaris were great (very responsive) and they gave me very good advices.
I went ahead with them and our experience was even better than expected.
Everybody was very friendly, doing their best to make this trip one the best of our life and it was thanks to them.
I can only recommend them 150%.
On top I think this is very great to help small companies like Color's Africa and Safaris compare to the big operators - you will feel very special and not a clients among others.
Thanks again to Hamid & all his team and to our guide Lucas.

Excellent in communication, customer service and overall satisfaction.
5/5

As a small group of three, we had been planning on going on a safari for about six months. We hadn’t done anything similar in the past and we were nervous about how to go about planning the excursion as well as the smaller day-to-day details. We did not want a deluxe safari so we aimed for a medium to low budget one instead. We went for the four-day option.

We contacted three separate companies (all registered with SafariBookings) and Colours Africa were the first ones to respond, almost immediately. They provided us with an itinerary illustrating the main locations and a daily breakdown of the whole trip. After discussing it as a group, we had tens of questions; from accommodation for the night before the safari, transportation, types of food available on the excursion, length of journey to the key areas, clothing, the camping sites and the lodges, the number of people the vehicles could fit and everything else in-between. Our main contact was Hamis, who replied promptly to all our questions even on weekends and sometimes very late at night.

On the actual safari, our driver and guide was Benjamin and our chef was Suleiman. The first had this amazing ability to spot animals hiding from (literally) a mile away while we were trying to spot them with binoculars. He knew the best places to view the animals and always listened to our requests, be it to stay at a spot longer to take photos or to explain certain animal behaviours.

I had the misfortune of being unwell for the first couple of days of the safari, having had an upset stomach from the flight to Tanzania. Suleiman (Sully) was aware and always took the time to cook a different meal for me so as not to upset my stomach any further. There were times when I could not resist his delicious cooking and tried a little of everything on the table. We were spoiled for choice. There was always a meat and a vegetarian dish, a carbohydrate as a side, salad and dessert both for lunch and for dinner. Breakfast was equally as appetizing and always included pancakes (crepes) which turned out to be the group’s go-to. Besides that, there was bread, coffee, tea, milk and juice.

Hamis visited us at the hotel the day before the safari to greet us and brief us on the details. He also came and visited me with Gotlisten, his business partner, to see how I was feeling after missing the first day of the safari due to my illness. The latter came to see us as a group upon our return to make sure we were satisfied and address any concerns or issues we may have had.

The overall experience (even for unwell me) was amazing and I would 100% do it again, maybe during the rainy season this time.

We went for Colours Africa mainly because of their pricing, flexibility, friendliness, promptness and speed in communication.

Beyond expectations
5/5

Me and my friend are 100% satisfied. We would book a guided tour with this company again. They were really helpful with everything we needed! My friend's luggage was lost at the airport and they did what they could to assist, they even drove in the middle of the night to bring it back to us. Our guide, Aron, was amazing. He knew everything about wild animals and landscape, his eyes could spot a black rhino from unbelievable distance. Colours Africa was really a great surprise. 100% recommended!

Excellent in many ways.
5/5

I don't even know where to start! From the moment I messaged them and requested a quote they answered every single question I had, the costumer service starts months ago when you're probably wondering many things about this trip. Don't worry, they will answer even those silly questions that pop out a month after your initial conversation. I decided to book it and it was the most amazing experience I've had in my life. Not only you go on safaris with an amazing guide (we got Stanley) but you also get a chef that deserved a 11/10 in the cooking. All meals were amazing (I overate every single day). Very important to note that camping may not be for everyone, do your research and if you decide that you'll do it, be ready to have an amazing experience. Once again, thank you guys for being so awesome from day 1! I can't recommend you enough!

Professional operator with super service
5/5

We had one day trip to Tarangire Park.
Our driver and guide Godlisten was 15 years experienced professional who gave us all the information about animals around. From 11am to 5pm we saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, warthogs, antelopes, ostrich, and even a big lion eating wildebeest.
We got the best, full fledged lunch, compared to sandviches of other companies (everyone eats in the same area but quality of food and service differs)
I fully recommend this company , we had fantastic time.

5/5

I seriously recommend this experience, one of the best I've ever had. I did this as a solo traveller and the crew always made me feel sheltered, it was well organized and the execution was just as planned, they were also very flexible with me and I managed to book a Kilimanjaro climb with them when I had only booked for the Safari experience. All guides were profesional but also made me feel like I was enjoying the experience around friends.
