Awesome experience provided by awesome tour provider with awesome staff!!!
I have been places in my life, but the trip to Tansania and everything I happened to experience during my stay will stay forever in my heart and memories as one of the best "escapes" of all times. And none of this would be the case if not for Nkollo Tours & Safaris taking the best possible care of me and my friend Melanie.
The whole package was just brilliant and worth every penny!
Allan is a very fast, thorough and friendly communicator and organiser. Before our trip we had a million questions, doubts and wishes, but Allan really did answer EVERY EACH of them in a very timely manner. Always super friedly, always engaged, very precise - many Germans could learn from him of what great service means ;)
All our wishes were taken for granted and fulfilled instantly.
Benson - our guide to Materuni, Kikuletwa and Arusha - picked us up at the airport and we got on to the same wave just like a second later. Easy-going, caring, intelligent - a real sweetheart having an answer to each stupid question of ours. It wasn't even midday that we decided to invite him out for a dinner on our last night in Arusha - that is how much we enjoyed his company.
The next day we were picked up by the best Safari guide of all times - Malisa! One sees straight away that he loves his job, and his knowledge about ALL animals you meet on your way (starting from a little colourful bird, ending with a rhino and elephant) is definitely broader than that of whole Google. I promise! We had such a lovely and splendid time during our 4 days of Safari, you can't even imagine!
We were taken a great care of, the food was delicious and there were always enough drinks in the fridge. Malisa "had the right nose" for where to go in order to see a bunch a lions, a herd of elephants, a sleeping leopard or a feeding cheetah. We learned so much from Malisa and got to hear the most amazing stories. We invited also him to the dinner at our last night in Arusha.
Also the back-up crew (cook Simba with his asisstants) were good fun and very devoted to what they are doing. We had some great talks, extra dessert and African dancing in the kitchen.
To be honest - you plan your (budget) trip to Africa and never expect EVERYTHING to go smoothly, right? You have your bias, you have your fears and doubts. But among these guys I felt at home and in peace, all doubts gone in less than 60 seconds after the arrival. My vacation was once of the best things I have done in my life and I am so very grateful to Nkollo Team for making it happen exactly the way it was!
Allan, Benson, Malisa - you are my brothers from another mother ;) and I feel honored to have met you in my life. ASANTE SANA rafiki yangu <3

Excellent
Our request was a few days personalized safari. Already by the booking we noticed the professional and reliable way of working. The communication with Mary was very uncomplicated and all of our requests could be organized.
Nickson was our guide on the safari. We couldn't imagine anyone better. He organized the daily routine according to our wishes, was very reliable, had a lot of knowledge and did everything he could to show us as many animals as possible. We even saw the Big 5.
Thank you Gilmag, anytime again!

Above average friendly, competent and always easily reachable and good organization
Marvel has put together an individually designed tour to the Hwange National Park (from Vic Falls) for us. According to our - not quite easy to fulfill wishlist - he put everything together and thus allowed us a unique travel experience. Always friendly, he took a lot of time for us and fulfilled all our extra wishes. He was always in a good mood, punctual and very accommodating and our 2 day trip was amazing. The accommodation, tours and guides that Marvel organized for us were all excellent. Thanks for the great trip from Victoria Falls to Hwange NP and back! I can recommend Marvel 100%. Price performance was extraordinarily good.

Safe, responsive and always at your disposal
Embarked on a 4-day adventure with Maktrails Safari led by the incredible Sammy. From majestic elephants to giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and hyenas - it was a wildlife extravaganza! Sammy's expertise and Maktrails' seamless planning made this safari truly exceptional. Clean, safe lodging was an added bonus. A must for nature enthusiasts!

Tabang was excellent tour guide. Intelligent, talkative, helpful. This is our thirt time to travel.
Tsalanang tour is my favored tour company in Johannesburg. They are respectful, easy to talk. I never saw that they are late for pickup time. Relatively their prices are also more efordable. The tour guy Mr. Tabang is the best.

Professional yet personal - a quality operator with great attention to detail. Highly recommended.
Our guide was kind, professional, knowledgeable, interesting and great company. Even when there was a kill in our campsite he was calm and thinking about our safety. He was superb.
Campsite set up was first class and the food was excellent – it was incredible what was done by the team with the set up.
We will always remember our week with Golden Africa it was completely fantastic.

SPECTACULAR
We were 4 adult’s traveling and we did an incredible package with Bundox. We started at the Explorer Camp. It was absolutely one with nature. The camp is rustic and you are in the middle of the bush. Our guides and chef were superb. The tents and beds were very comfortable and the food was wonderful. There was a bull elephant that would come by the pool deck area and chill with us in the afternoon I will do separate reviews for the other camps
