An Extraordinary First Safari Experience
We are relaxing on a gorgeous beach in Zanzibar, reflecting on our extraordinary 14-day African safari adventure with Sunset Adventure Safaris. What an unforgettable experience!
A huge thank you to Emma and the entire Sunset Adventure Safaris team for making our African safari dream come true! From the moment I first reached out to several safari companies, Emma’s prompt responses, thorough communication, and attention to detail gave me confidence that Sunset Adventure Safaris was the right choice. The organization, communication, and care throughout the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
Our driver and guide, Yohana, was absolutely outstanding! He navigated the rugged terrain like a pro and shared a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife, national parks, and local culture. Most importantly, he was attentive, thoughtful, friendly, and incredibly funny. We thoroughly enjoyed his company!
Yohana also did an amazing job keeping our surprise sunrise hot-air balloon excursion a complete secret! Throughout our daily game drives, he seemed to have a knack for finding the most incredible wildlife encounters. From tracking down the elusive leopard high in a tree, to discovering 11 different prides of lions, spotting a pair of cheetahs, and finally finding rhinos—the last of the Big Five for us—on our very last day of safari, he continually surprised and delighted us.
A HUGE Asante Sana, Yohana! (Thank you so much!)
While the incredible wildlife was undoubtedly the star of our 14-day adventure, there were so many other memorable highlights. Our bike tour through Mto wa Mbu village gave us a wonderful glimpse into authentic village life, and the breathtaking sunrise balloon ride over the Serengeti, followed by a champagne breakfast, was truly magical. It was an extremely early start, but absolutely worth it!
The accommodations and food throughout our journey were fantastic. A few places particularly stood out:
* Heart & Soul Lodge, Lake Manyara: Beautiful grounds and the most amazing staff, who made us feel so welcome.
* Marera Valley Lodge: A huge bedroom, a lovely private balcony with a view, a beautiful pool surrounded by lush gardens, and delicious food.
* Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort: Exceptional staff, outstanding service, delicious food, and beautiful surroundings. It was the perfect place to unwind and end our once-in-a-lifetime African adventure.
We are leaving Tanzania with incredible memories, a deeper appreciation for its remarkable wildlife and culture, and immense gratitude for the people who made this journey so special.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Emma and her extraordinary team at Sunset Adventure Safaris to anyone dreaming of an African safari. From the initial planning to the final day, they delivered an exceptional experience that exceeded our expectations in every way.
Asante Sana, Emma and team, for making our African safari dream come true!

It was our best family tour
It was the best family experience and king Solomon Safari gave us the best hospitality.
They were on time for the pick up, the driver and guide were experiences and we had an amazing fun tour.
The tour guide always open and close the doors for us even when we asked him not to. He carried lunch boxes where we went to eat at the park and he was so patient with me, my wife and children.
The King Solomon safari driver and guide treated us like kings and queens ❤️
It was an amazing experience and it was our best family outing.
Thank you king Solomon Safari ❤️

Nice
We participated in a shorter early morning tour today. The weather was a bit chilly, but we still saw a mother and baby elephant drinking and interacting by the lake, which was very heartwarming. Because the elephant was crossing the road in our direction, the guide asked us to wait patiently for them to cross. We saw them crossing the road right in front of us, which was truly a stunning sight.

An Unforgettable Safari — Made Special by Mercy and Ringo! ❤️
If you are looking for a safari company that truly delivers on its promises, look no further than Nkollo Tours & Safaris! Our experience was absolutely incredible, and I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very beginning, everything felt personal. Nkollo Tours promises tailor-made experiences and personal service, and that is exactly what we received. They didn’t just organise a safari for us; they helped create memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
A very special thank you to Mercy, who deserves a review of her own. ❤️ Mercy was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She was available day and night to answer all our questions, discuss any changes, and make sure everything was exactly the way I wanted it. She genuinely wasn’t satisfied until I was completely happy. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she made me feel heard, understood and taken care of every step of the way.
Mercy is one of those rare people who put their whole heart into what they do. She is an absolute gem, and she has genuinely stolen my heart. I am so grateful that she was part of our journey!
And then there was Ringo, our incredible safari guide, whom we nicknamed Doctor Dolittle! 🐘🦁 Honestly, it felt as though he could communicate with the animals themselves! His knowledge of wildlife and the national parks was extraordinary, and he always seemed to know exactly where we needed to be and when to be there to witness the most magical moments. He didn’t just show us animals; he helped us experience them in the most incredible way.
What made Ringo even more special was the way he interacted with my son. He was so patient, kind and wonderful with him, making the entire experience even more meaningful for us as a family. Seeing my son enjoy the safari with someone who was so genuinely lovely with him made the experience all the more unforgettable.
Ringo’s passion, knowledge, patience and ability to find those special wildlife moments made him an exceptional guide. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
Nkollo Tours has truly exceeded our expectations. The combination of Mercy’s outstanding personal care and Ringo’s exceptional guiding made this so much more than just a holiday. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with moments we will never forget.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, I would recommend Nkollo Tours without a second thought. And if you are lucky enough to have Mercy organise your trip and Ringo guide you, you are in for something truly special!
Thank you, Mercy and Ringo, for everything. You didn’t just help us discover Tanzania — you left a little piece of yourselves in our hearts. ❤️🇹🇿
Five stars are simply not enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our second safari experience!
The weather wasn’t great this morning, so we didn’t get to see many animals. However, our guide still did his best to take us along many different trails.

Teamwise Tanzania Travel is an excellent tour operator focused on the wellbeing of their clients.
Everything was excellent even though teamwise experienced some drawbacks due to lack of communication from the lodges. They adapted swiftly and went the extra mile to guarantee the perfect honeymoon for us. Their safari guides are experienced and passionate about their job.
Excellent value for money.

The perfect trip
I was very happy with Viatu as from the planning to the real trip everything was very easy, clear and perfectly running.
I particularly liked the web system they use for the planning. Until now, the best I have seen.
About the trip itself everything was according to our expectations, but many times well above them. The hotels proposed were in all cases perfect for us. The same applies for the rental car used.
Finally price was also very adequate for the trip we did.
Os course, without any doubt I will advise to go to Namibia with Viatu.

From Lost Luggage to Amazing Wildlife – Our Unforgettable Tanzania Safari Safari booking
My friend and I went to a six-day, five-night safari from Sote Tours and Travel Agency. We visited Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. It was a fantastic experience, and we had a lot of wonderful moments. One day prior to going on the safari, our tour operator Kelvin met with us to brief us on what to expect. Additionally, we had encountered some problem with our luggage being misplaced by the airline company and Kelvin assisted us in communicating with them so that we can receive our bags in a timely manner. It felt amazing, and we were so glad that he was so thoughtful to go the extra mile and help us with that issue.
Our guide, Reuben was excellent as he was very friendly, patient with us, and had vast knowledge of the wildlife and the places we visited. What surprised me most about Reuben is that his observation skills are really amazing as he most of the time would spot a game before we could actually see any animal using our naked eyes. We saw lots of wild animals but I think this would not have been possible without Reuben’s vast experience in tracking wild animals. Besides the observation skills, he is also very patient with us giving explanations on various aspects of wildlife we came across. Honestly, I still haven’t understood how he was able to find his way along all the trails we took in the forest and how he always knew the shortest way to wherever we wanted to go!
We did have a vehicle breakdown during the safari, which I guess can happen with the rough roads in the national parks. Funny enough, this turned out to be one of our favorite experiences on the tour. Some other safari guides stopped to help as well, and it was a pleasure to see the degree of collaboration and solidarity between other companies. Reuben remained calm and handled the situation brilliantly. Instead of ruining our day, we enjoyed the game viewing and got to see a different side of the safari experience.
The accommodations were equally pleasant and comfortable places to stay, and we enjoyed the different lodges with their various atmospheres. Having spent so many hours on game drives, it was always a pleasure to arrive at the accommodation and unwind. Everything ran smoothly, and we always felt taken care of.
In general, we had a fantastic experience and would recommend taking a safari tour in Tanzania, with Sote Tours and Travel, any day. Kelvin kept excellent contact with us and took great care of every detail. Reuben made every game drive an experience worth having, imparting his knowledge about the tour and the Tanzanian landscape and animals. We are very grateful to these wonderful people for the experience of a lifetime!
