3 days Safari in Nyerere
We went on a three-day safari with Mulimi Safari, who took care of everything from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park in Tanzania. The organisation was excellent, and all our transfers by boat and car went very smoothly.
Above all, we were incredibly lucky to have Osmane, our guide, and Peter, our amazing driver, with us throughout the experience. They were both so kind and welcoming, and thanks to their patience, hospitality and knowledge, we were able to enjoy three different types of safari: a boat safari, a full-day game drive in the park, and an unforgettable wildlife experience.
We were lucky enough to see almost all the animals we had hoped to see! With his 28 years of experience, Peter knew the park like the back of his hand. He took us through breathtaking landscapes and helped us get incredibly close to the animals, always respecting their space and making sure not to disturb them.
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic, personal and intimate safari experience. Everything was wonderfully organised, and we felt incredibly well looked after from beginning to end.
A huge thank you to Osmane and Peter for making this experience so special and unforgettable! ☺️

Paradise & Wilderness provides expert planning and communication at a competitive price
Our recent trip to Tanzania was truly magical and a dream come true. A perfect way to celebrate our anniversary, we learned and appreciated so much about Tanzania.
We picked Tanzania because my wife wanted to trek up Mount Kilamanjaro. We picked P&W because the price for what we received was a great value. P&W Staff meticulously planned our itinerary and we felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. We also did the 9 day safari which was amazing. Our guide, Sterling, was personable and an amazing driver/guide. He knew exactly where to go, and we saw every animal up close. We also flew to Zanzibar, which was a perfect way to end our trip. Everyone was so friendly. We always felt safe.
None would have been possible without the hard work and dedication of P&W Staff, especially Diana. We had planned this trip for so long, she handled countless emails and questions, and we are just so thankful for all they have done to make this trip the success it was.

Everything we hoped for and more
We did a safari off six days with Isaiah. Saw everything we came for: the big 5, lions hunting, cheetahs hunting, leopard, a lot of elephants, zebra’s, wildebeest, buffalo’s and more. Isaiah really tried his best to show us everything, offcourse it’s nature so you never know if you can see everything you wish for. But we did. Isaiah is an amazing guide, he can tell you a lot about the animals, is fun to be around but also chill. Also, and this one is important for us, he really seems to care about the animals as well. For example, after the lions caught their prey a lot of cars races towards it and stayed. The other lions couldn’t reach the prey. Isaiah made sure we could see driving by but never got in the way of the other lions. That’s a big big important plus for us. He made sure we saw everything up close but never at the coast of the animals.
Isaiah understands the behaviour of the animals. We saw a cheetah in the grass, all the other cars drove away after a while. But not our car, Isaiah was sure the cheetah would go hunting or would move because of other animals around. He was right, we saw the buffalo cheating to cheetah away and got a show where it almost looked liked the cheetah was posing for us. Everything was well arranged and we enjoyed every second.
Before booking the safari we always got a fast respons on our questions. Changing some things wasn’t a problem and they were always clear and transparant about the coast. We feel like we got a lot of worth for the price.
The only small feedback I could give the organisation: get in touch at least once after the booking as well. Just sending a small e-mail with something like; in a couple of weeks your safari starts with some tips would’ve been more than fine. We didn’t hear anything until we reached out just two weeks before the safari. I think that would feel more customer friendly. On the other hand, a couple days before our trip they send and e-mail about the ebola situation with explanation about everything and even the option to postpone. Very customer friendly.
We loved every second and are a bit sad the safari is over and we had to say goodbye to Asaiah.

Highly recommend Colours Africa Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for an exceptional safari
Our tour with Colours Africa Tours and Safaris was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
It all started with our incredible tour guide, Goodluck, who was informative, knowledgeable, patient, and always made sure we were comfortable throughout our entire stay. His ability to spot wildlife with his bare eyes—without even needing binoculars—was unbelievable! He made sure we never missed an opportunity to see something special.
Goodluck would periodically stop at the perfect spots to ensure we got the best pictures, and he always checked in with us to make sure we were doing well before moving on. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference.
During our safari, we were fortunate enough to witness some truly extraordinary moments, including lions mating and hunting! Goodluck always seemed to know exactly where to go and when to be there, positioning us for incredible sightings while never compromising our comfort or safety.
We also had Tom, our camera guy, who was incredibly helpful and captured some amazing shots that will help us cherish these memories for years to come.
Thanks to Goodluck and Tom, we left with unforgettable memories and an experience we will treasure for a lifetime. We couldn't have asked for a better team!

Responsive and collaborative tour creation
We were late organising our trip to Namibia compared to others so accommodation was limited but the Viatu team came through for us. We gave them what we'd like to do and then worked collaboratively through a plan of what we could do with what was available. The tour was well structured with great activities, and they found us places to stay we might not have done ourselves.
Communication was great and they have a nice web app that lays out the tour very clearly.
Their expertise was invaluable in terms of sorting out what we needed.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Colours Africa Tours! 🦁🐘🌍
Our safari with Colours Africa Tours was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish! From picking us up at the airport in Nairobi to transporting us all the way to Arusha, Tanzania, everything was incredibly well organized and seamless. They took care of every detail, including airport pickups and drop-offs, transportation, accommodations, and meals, which made the entire trip completely stress-free.
Our tour guide, Goodluck, was absolutely outstanding! His knowledge of wildlife was incredible, and he had an amazing eye for spotting animals that we would have never noticed on our own. What impressed me most was his ability to read animal behavior and anticipate their movements. You could tell he had a genuine passion for what he does and an incredible understanding of the wildlife. Thanks to him, we had so many amazing sightings and learned so much throughout the journey. He truly made the safari special!
A huge shoutout to Tom, our photographer, as well! He did a fantastic job capturing the experience and helping us preserve memories that we will cherish forever. Having someone dedicated to capturing these special moments made the trip even more memorable.
Every lodge we stayed at was excellent, and the food throughout the trip was great. The accommodations, hospitality, and overall service exceeded our expectations. Everything was thoughtfully planned, and we never had to worry about logistics or figuring out transportation between destinations.
Another major highlight was the incredible value for the price. For everything included, the experience was very reasonably priced and absolutely worth every penny. You get an amazing safari experience, knowledgeable guides, great accommodations, delicious food, reliable transportation, and outstanding service without having to spend a fortune.
I would highly recommend Colours Africa Tours to anyone considering a safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Whether it is your first safari or a return trip, they make the entire experience easy, exciting, and unforgettable.
Thank you to Goodluck, Tom, and the entire Colours Africa Tours team for an incredible adventure! This is an experience we will never forget, and I would book with them again in a heartbeat. If you are thinking about booking a safari, look no further than Colours Africa Tours! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Exhausting but Great Experience
Our Safari with Suricata was a once in a lifetime experience we enjoyed a lot and definitely did not regret! We booked the 4 day mid range safari and we travelled with our 7 year old son.
Great about this trip was:
+ Terengire Park was the best start because we saw a lot of animals on our first day already, our son was so excited
+ We spend our first day in an old open safari vehicle - it seemed like an emergency solution because no other car was free but we enjoyed this a lot and it was way cooler than the other Cars
+ Serengeti and Ngorongoro are also definitely worth the trip and offered different landscapes and animals
+ All acomodations during the Safari were awesome, Boma Lodge was so special, and we also enjoyed staying in the middle of serengeti in Tanzania Bush Camp Simba - u fortunately I forgot the Name of the last accomodation but the staff in all of them were so nice as well as the food which was amazing
+ We felt close to nature and safe and welcome all the time during the Safari
+ We spend the last 3 days with our tour guide Alawi who was super morivated, kind,
had a lot to say about Tanzania, the region and the animals and most of all was really flexible to adjust the toor to our needs - best man! Our son loved him!
What could have been improved is the organisation around the tour by Suricata:
- We did not get any information from suricata regarding our airport pick up, didn‘t get any answers the day before arrival and indeed no one was at the airport to pick us up. Everybody was very friendly and tried to help at the airport, in the end we only waited 30 minutes and it all worked out. But still this is not the experience you want travelling with a kid. An e-Mail or WhatsApp shortly before arrival would have helped to feel better.
- The first briefing we got upon arrival would indeed have been helpful before, since it had some important packing Information: Bring long clothes, a scar for dust, tip for the driver (15-20 Dollar per Person per day), and the car only has space for luggage for 3 nights, the rest of your luggage Stars at the Hotel. Here as well: An e-mail before arrival would have helped.
- The hotel for the first and last night in Arusha was awful. We stayed at SG Resort, an information we also did not get in advance. The surrounding was so loud that we could not get any sleep before and after the Safari. During our last night a staff member even knocked our door close to midnight while we were already sleeping. They had miscalculated the bill for dinner and made us pay the difference in cash in the middle of the ight at the door in our pyjamas. Don‘t stay here if you don’t want to start or finish your Safari tired!
- What was also not communicated properly in advance is that you spend hours in the car on bumpy roads to get to your game drive and to your accommodations. For us it was fine but travelling with Kids you should definitely know there will be 2-4h extra time in the car additional to the actual Safari. If you have problems with motion sickness, bring medicine

Amazing safari experience
A friend recommended Meterai safari for Kenya. We trusted her and it was the best trip of our lifes. Our driver and tour guide was a very experienced person and very friendly. The hotels where we stayed for medium range were much better than we expected, delicious food and some of them even had animals inside the resorts, an unforgettable experience.
