Very friendly, flexible and accommodating!
5/5

We booked a 5-day budget safari, which included Tarangire, Serengeti national parks, and Ngorongoro Crater. On the first day, our flight was re-scheduled last-minute so we had to be picked up from a different airport, which was fine by the Safari Company. After being picked up, they made sure we had some time to rest and then did a short trek to a nearby waterfall. The safari started the next day and it exceeded all our expectations; the tour guide and the chef were very friendly, approachable and funny. The first two nights we stayed in budget hotels and for the next two in tents near/in the national parks. Overall amazing experience!

Budget safari, with a nice crew, awesome safaris and budget Accommodations
3/5

We had a really good time during the safaris. The drivers were really nice. Especially Simon did. a really good job, driving, explaining and some fun moments.
The food was absolutely acceptable for a budget safari. Also the cooks tried to meet our needs, as we had some allergies (worked out 50% of the time).

Some of the lodges we stayed were really budget. Probably still good for tansanian standard on a budget trip, but still a bit less then we expected (windows were not safe at all times, bathrooms not clean …) but Godwill managed to book us into another lodge that suited our needs more.

Also they were really flexible with everything. That made us feel really welcome and good.

The last day we did a coffee tour to a village. The coffee experience was really cool, as we joined them from picking the beans till the brewed coffee. We were just a bit shocked about the „restroom“ which wasn’t really a room at all. But you get a good local kind of view.

So all in all we had a nice budget safari with awesome day trips, safe drives, always enough water and some really Budget overnight stays.

If you don’t expect a mid range hotel, you’ll be good to go with Simon, Godwill and the rest of the crew.

Excellent
5/5

We had a 3 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, starting from Arusha with our driver, Benjamin, who was at the same time our guide during those 3 days. The experience is unique and breathtaking itself anyway, but having Benjamin as driver/guide made it even better! He is always cheerful, shares many details & information about the animals and has strong knowledge of the area.
Colours Africa Tours and Safaris organized everything successfully and efficiently for us and therefore we enjoyed it very much! They are highly recommended!

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!
5/5

Godlisten planned and organized everything for us for a 3 day safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. We flew to Kilimanjaro and he arranged a lift for us to take us to Arusha. Same for the return, because we needed to catch the late flight from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar. Flying to Arusha is probably less tiring. There is also a small airport in Serengeti. He arranged also accomodation in Arusha for us before the safari, which could be better. We were a company of 3 people and we shared the trip with 3 more people and we got along perfectly well! We preferred to stay in a tented lodge during the safari and not in camp tents and he arranged that perfectly for us! The food was amazing in the campsites! We had also a chef with us, Hamisi, who cooked for us local food, which was exquisite! Our driver, Benjamin, was just BRILLIANT! He knows exactly where to take you to see the animals and is very knowledgeable about this! You should definitely ask for him as your driver! I highly recommend Colours Africa for your safari in Tanzania!

Amazing
5/5

I did not regret having chosen colors of africa for my safari, the 4 days went very well between Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, an excellent experience. Serengeti was just a piece of heaven.

Wonderful experience
5/5

Thank you for this experience! The safari was very well organized (incl. airport and accommodation). The driver (Josef!) is very personable and courteous, and is very knowledgeable about the flora, fauna and wildlife. He takes his time and responds to the wishes of his guests. A great experience with wonderful pictures that will stay in your memory.

Wonderful and reliable
5/5

I had a wonderful experience going on the 4-day hike of Mount Meru with Colors Africa. I made sort of a last minute booking. Fortunately, they were able to arrange gear rentals and a crew for me. The crew including the hiking guide, the chef and two porters took great care of me. The food was excellent. The sunrise on the summit was breathtaking. On the way down, we saw giraffes, buffalos and other animas. It was so fantastic. I’d definitely hike with them again!

Outstanding 6 days Safari with Colours Africa Tours
5/5

Sadly we are leaving today, after having one of the best trip ever.
Every detail from the first WhatsApp exchanged with one of the partners until the last follow up phone call, was really taken care of.
It was a 5 nights / 6 days shared Safari trip with a visit to the Massai village (not a touristic one and very authentic), Tarangire National Park, 2 full days in Serengeti and Ngorongoro cráter.
Most competitive price out of all the other proposals we received (and with the same itinerary).
We immediately bonded with the other 4 people who were sharing the jeep with us and had lots of fun.
The driver (Livin) was friendly, knowgeable, funny, kept us safe all the time and eagled eye in finding animals.
The cook (Nathan) provided delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner we were really surprised of how nice the food was (we all put on a couple of kilos).
Facilities were basic but had everything (in the second camping Simba A there was hot water). The tents we were assigned were very spacious and had zebras grazing around during the night.
I recommend this company 100 %.

Best experience of my life!
5/5

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!
