Annine from Nkollo Tours & Safaris expertly planned every detail of our trip—from the itinerary and
About a month ago, we completed an amazing 4.5-day safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
From the very beginning, the wonderful Annine from Nkollo Tours & Safaris planned every detail of our safari with great care and professionalism. She designed the entire itinerary, including the route, carefully selected accommodations in special locations with a very high standard of hospitality, and even arranged our internal flights for the continuation of our trip to Zanzibar. Everything was organized perfectly and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
Our dear guide, Said, accompanied us throughout the entire safari and was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, caring, and kind. He was always attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. He even surprised us with some special touches along the way.
Said provided us with a wealth of information about the different national parks and reserves, the wildlife, the local culture, and everyday life in Tanzania. His knowledge and passion made the safari much more than just observing animals — we truly learned and experienced Tanzania.
Our safari included Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, a visit to Lake Eyasi and local tribes, as well as an unforgettable hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti with Miracle Experience. And, of course, Said worked incredibly hard to make sure we had the opportunity to see all of the Big Five — and we did!
Looking back, we couldn't have asked for a better safari experience. I highly recommend Nkollo Tours & Safaris, especially the excellent planning by Annine and the outstanding guidance of Said.
A huge thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable adventure in Tanzania! 🇹🇿🦁🐘🦏🐆🐃

Tour operators in Kenya and Tanzania were both amazingly excellent and experienced!
First of all our coordinator, Elvis, was the best! His communication, responses and professionalism were of the highest level. He was able to tailor the tour to to our desires that we didn't even know. We landed in Nairobi where he took care of us every step of the way. We went from the Masai Mara in Kenya to the Serengeti in Tanzania, a hot air balloon ride then on to Zanzibar for 3 nights and back to Nairobi. We saw so many animals including all of the big five, 2 crossings, and over 100 lions! Our guides, Steven in Kenya and Gama were Top Notch which is the name of Gama's Land cruiser. It was truly an epic time 😊. Thank you to all of them and LeKobe Adventures, book with them, you won't be sorry!

He was hiliarious and friendly, and worked very hard to make sure we saw everything.
The safari was a once in a lifetime experience. Driving through this gorgeous park, surrounded by nature and the view of the mountains is amazing in itself. But to be able to see lions, zebras, elephants giraffes, hippos and so much more was just incredible! Amazing value for money, 100% worth it!

An unforgettable 3-day safari with Somewhere in Africa!
We booked a private 3-day safari in Tanzania, from 25–27 August 2026, for our family of two adults and two children, visiting Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From the first contact until the end of the trip, everything was extremely well organized, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Somewhere in Africa.
The booking process was excellent, and a special mention goes to our sales agent, Nuhu. He was incredibly helpful, professional and responsive, organized everything perfectly and gave us some of the best advice throughout the planning process. His recommendations really helped us make the right choices for our family and get the most out of the safari.
The transfers and flights were also very well organized. The transfer from our hotel in Zanzibar to the airport and back was seamless, and the flights between Zanzibar and the Serengeti airstrip with Flightlink, and from Arusha back to Zanzibar with Auric Air, were arranged perfectly.
But what really made our safari exceptional was our driver/guide, Amani. In our opinion, we couldn't have asked for a better guide. During the three days, his experience, knowledge and incredible ability to find wildlife allowed us not only to see the Big Five, but also countless other animals and some truly amazing and unexpected moments.
One of the highlights came already on our first day, when we witnessed something quite rare and spectacular — a lioness hunting gazelles. It was an incredible experience and something our whole family will remember for a very long time.
The timing of our trip was also fantastic, as we were lucky enough to experience the Great Migration. Seeing such a spectacular natural phenomenon in the Serengeti was simply unforgettable.
The accommodation during the two nights was also very good. We stayed at Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp and Ngorongoro Corridor Lodge, and we were very pleased with both.
Choosing a private safari was definitely the right decision for our family. The Toyota Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof provided plenty of space and comfort for the four of us, but, more importantly, it allowed us to adapt the daily schedule to our family's needs without having to depend on other people.
Another experience that we highly recommend was the visit to a Maasai village as we entered the Ngorongoro Corridor. This was an incredibly interesting and authentic experience, both for us and especially for our children. Although this was an additional activity at $25 per person, as clearly stated from the beginning, it was absolutely worth it.
Our children had an amazing time throughout the safari. Amani was incredibly patient with them and gave them lots of explanations, making sure they understood what they were seeing and why it was important. They felt safe at all times, even during those exciting moments when some of the animals came surprisingly close to the vehicle!
Overall, this was a wonderful and unique experience for our entire family, and one we will remember for many years to come. We would especially recommend Somewhere in Africa to families travelling with children — they were professional, reliable and genuinely committed to making our safari special.
A huge thank you to Nuhu and Amani for making this adventure such an unforgettable experience. We couldn't have asked for a better safari! 🦁🐘🦒🐆🐃
Highly recommended!

Great Safari experience with Suricata
My girlfriend and I booked the 6-day mid-range option with Suricata. We did the Tarangire National Park, 2 days in the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Lake Manyara National Park.
Tarangire was a good entry point for our first Safari experience, since it is a little smaller and we already saw a lot of animals on our first day. We had an amazing encounter with a group of elephants we will remember for a lifetime. It was especially cool to do the tour in an open jeep. Our guide, Amos, was a calm and friendly presence and provided us with interesting information on the park and its animals.
Then the main part of our trip started, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. It was absolutely outstanding. We saw all the Big 5 and many animals more. It was too much to put into words. Just the scenery in the Serengeti is astonishing enough. Our guide was Pascal and he did an amazing job. He really went the extra mile for us. His knowledge of the park and its animals was second to none. His driving skills weren‘t too bad either, which is needed on the bumpy roads to Serengeti and within the park itself. I can‘t recommend him enough as a safari guide, you will not be disappointed!
The Lake Manyara National Park was a nice day to finish before we went back to Arusha.
The communication with Suricata around the booking was smooth and professional. All the pick-ups worked as discussed. On the second day, our schedule got changed probably to accommodate the general planning. We only found out about the change kind of by accident at the lodge reception. Better communication in case of changes would be appreciated. But in the end, everything worked out as booked over all, so it was a small inconvenience.
The accomodations were all in the range of what was promised. We really liked the Suricata Boma Lodge especially, a beautiful place. Our highlight was the Tanzania Bush Camp (Simba) in the middle of the Serengeti. Our two nights there were incredible, including hearing lions roaming through the camp in the middle of the night. Camp manager Steve and his entire staff were awesome and they make you feel right at home in the middle of nature!
Overall, we can definitely recommend Suricata as a safari operator.

Reliable local safari company with great service, fair prices, and unforgettable experiences.
We had an amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Peak Cruise Safaris, and I would highly recommend this local tour company to anyone planning to visit Uganda and Rwanda.
From the very beginning, Jennifer, the owner, was fantastic. She was extremely responsive and always answered all of our questions quickly. Whenever I had something to ask, she was there to help and provide all the information we needed. She also prepared and sent us the itinerary very quickly, which made planning the whole trip easy and stress-free.
One of the things we really appreciated about Peak Cruise Safaris is that it is a locally run company offering very reasonable and competitive prices without compromising on quality. We felt that we received excellent value for our money. The accommodations throughout our safari were beautiful, comfortable, and in many cases felt quite luxurious. The meals provided during the trip were also delicious and exceeded our expectations.
A very special thank you goes to our driver, Godfrey. He was extremely friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always made us feel comfortable throughout the journey. Spending so many days together on the road, having such a great driver and guide really makes a difference, and Godfrey was a big part of why we enjoyed our trip so much.
We also had wonderful local guides throughout our journey, including at Volcanoes National Park, Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Kazinga Channel, and during our chimpanzee trekking. Every guide we met was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They helped us understand so much more about the wildlife, nature, and local environment.
Jennifer, Godfrey, and all of the local guides truly made our safari an amazing and unforgettable experience. We had such a wonderful time and came home with so many great memories.
I would highly recommend Peak Cruise Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Uganda or Rwanda. You get a very good and reasonable deal together with excellent service, quality accommodations, delicious food, knowledgeable guides, and a very personal experience from a local company.
It was worth every dollar we spent. Thank you so much to Jennifer, Godfrey, and everyone who made our journey so special!
