  This was an incredible tour company! Vincent was our guide and he made this trip a once in a lifetime experience. He was so friendly and kind and funny, he made us feel like old friends. We saw AMAZING animals and scenery thanks to the knowledge Vincent had. The lunch was absolutely incredible, he even parked next to a herd of animals and we had lunch right next to them! It rained once on our trip and I was a bit nervous about the mud and descending into the crater, but Vincent was so safe and such a skilled driver we felt safe the entire time. I can’t say enough good things about this tour company. From the suggestions of places and lodges we stayed at, to the actual information given to us on the safari. We had an amazing time and I’m so grateful for this trip. When another safari company was having trouble with their vehicle, Vincent stopped to make sure they were okay. That was so nice to us. The company also surprised us with several nights celebrating our anniversary. We got so lucky and saw all the big 5 animals. We just have to come back to see the Cheetah! Choose this company you will NOT be disappointed. The communication was great and the trip was incredible. Thank you for everything Nkollo Tours.

  The best safari experience ever! We did private 4-days (3 nights) Tarangire-Serengeti(Ndutu)—Ngorongoro safari during calving season in Jan 2026 as a family. We saw plenty of various animals, including the whole Big 5. Some of them from few meters distance only, we observed them in their natural environment, even eating hunted victims. Communication with the owner was super easy and fast. Our private guide Jephter Makana was such a warm and positive person, very experienced and he put all possible effort to find animals we wanted to spot. Very welcoming and approachable while we needed help, or flexible while we had to adjust the time schedule. Going for a private tour with this company is absolutely worth it! They will take care of you from the beginning till the end. Airport/hotel transfer (pick up and drop off) was included which was a great bonus. Also our driver Martin who took care of us on the way back from safari to the hotel was super helpful, stopping on the way at the places that we asked. Moreover, accommodatoom at the resort and the campings was outstanding - glamorous, beautiful interiors in the middle of the wild! Perfect, unforgettable safari!

  Our safari (4 days/3 nights Tarangire-Serengeti-Ngorongoro) was carefully planned by Mercy based on all our requests. To be honest, we really liked their program. The accommodations they chose for us were of a good standard and the service offered was in line with our travel philosophy... We want to have the right level of comfort, but without going overboard. The facilities gave us the right mix of hospitality, service, and food, and the tented camp was a fantastic experience. Goody, our guide, although young, is very reliable and an excellent driver. Our Jeep perfectly meets our standards of comfort.

  Our honeymoon with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was absolutely incredible and exceeded every single expectation we had. From start to finish, the trip was seamless and unforgettable. The highlight of our trip was our guide, Ringo. His knowledge of the wildlife and the ecosystem was phenomenal. He went above and beyond every single day to ensure we had the best possible experience, and thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to see the entire Big 5! The rhinos especially we challenging to find. The accommodations were another standout, every lodge we stayed at was stunning and provided the perfect blend of luxury and nature. We are already planning our next safari and can’t wait to bring our parents along. We wouldn’t dream of booking with anyone else but Nkollo Tours & Safaris!

  My husband and I went on an African safari with the Nkollo tour group and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. I worked with Mercy, who organized an itinerary exactly the way I envisioned it. Every question I had was answered quickly and kindly, and I felt supported throughout the entire planning process. From the moment we landed, to our final airport drop-off, everything was flawlessly arranged by her. Our lodging throughout the trip was beautiful and perfectly chosen for both comfort and proximity to the parks. Each place we stayed had its own charm. We have to give the biggest shoutout to our game driver, Ringo. He is someone with deep respect for nature and wildlife. Thanks to his years of expertise and his patience, we were able to enjoy a truly unique safari experience. His understanding of the animals and the land gave us unforgettable moments and pictures. He provided an experience we are truly grateful for. Thank you again Ringo, Mercy and the entire Nkollo team for creating such an incredible, seamless, and meaningful adventure for us. We hope to be back again soon!

  What an unforgettable experience! Our four-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Nkollo Tours exceeded every expectation we had and we can't recommend them highly enough. From the very first contact. Allan made everything seamless. His communication was outstanding - responsive, flexible and super easy to work with. On the safari itself, our driver and guide, Ringo, was absolutely phenomenal. His driving skills are incredible but it was his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and landscape that truly impressed us. More than that, Ringo genuinely cared about making our experience special. He went above and beyond at every turn, ensuring we had the best possible opportunities to spot wildlife - including all of the Big Five! More than a safari, this felt like a transformative experience that we'll both treasure forever. The combination of breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife encounters, and exceptional service created memories that no photo could capture. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, look no further than Nkollo Tours. Allan and Ringo have created something truly special, and their passion for sharing the wonders of their beautiful country shines through every detail! A massive thank you - we'll be back :)

  Our safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish! The organization was excellent – everything went smoothly and exactly as planned. Communication with Allan beforehand was fast, clear, and super helpful. He was always flexible with our individual requests and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the entire planning process. A very special thank you goes to our guide Ringo, who made this trip what it was – absolutely outstanding. From the first to the last day, he impressed us with his deep knowledge of wildlife, his sharp eye for spotting animals, and his incredible driving skills, even on the roughest roads. Thanks to his experience and instincts, we were able to see all of the Big Five in just four days! But even more than that, his kindness, humor, and calm energy made every moment enjoyable. We always felt safe, comfortable, and in good hands – like traveling with a good friend who truly loves what he does. The lodges were overall very good – clean, comfortable, and well-organized. The Suricata Boma Lodge especially stood out with excellent food and the friendliest staff we met during our trip. Our transfers with Martin (airport pick-up and drop-off) were also perfectly on time, and he was very kind and reliable. We felt completely safe and well looked after at every step. We can warmly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Tanzania with a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring team. Thank you, Allan, Ringo, and Martin, for making this journey so special – we’ll never forget it! — Ioannis & Natalie, Germany

  This is really fantastic. Everything you expect from a wild Safari is in this program. And the organization is fine from start to finish. The driver/guide is a miracle as he managed to reach the right place at any time. You keep shooting. The food is fine. The only negative is the quality of the campsite. This is really fantastic. Everything what you like from a safari tour is in this program. The organisation is from beginning to end superb. The driver/guide is a genius. Just every moment to find the best places. You can’t stop making pictures. Also the food is good. The only negative is the quality of the camping. Thanks/Thanks Jaap and/and Renée

  I don’t even know where to begin to describe our time with Nkollo Safari — it was simply unforgettable. We spent 4 incredible days with them, but before talking about the safari itself, I need to say a few words about Allan, the first person I spoke to when I started planning this trip. He was exceptionally kind and went above and beyond to help us — even with things that weren’t his responsibility, like solving issues with our flights. Allan, thank you for your patience and for finding the best options for our journey. You were our first good impression of Tanzania. And now… the tour! It was amazing, exciting, full of magic. Our guide Jeff made the experience unforgettable. From day one, he helped us feel at home in Tanzania — teaching us songs and phrases in Swahili (which impressed locals everywhere we went!), and sharing so much about the culture, the people, and the wildlife. Jefta was not only incredibly fun and warm, but also extremely professional. He drove safely the entire time and knew exactly where to go to find the animals — on our very first day, we saw the Big Five and so much more. He has a true gift for what he does. The food throughout the trip was delicious, and the lodges chosen by Nkollo were just perfect. Serengeti Safari Haven deserves a special mention — luxury in the middle of the wild. One morning, I opened my tent and an elephant was walking right in front of me. I’ll never forget that moment. Everything was just perfect — the care, the planning, the people, the memories. Thank you, Nkollo Safari, for giving us one of the best experiences of our lives. I already miss it — and I can’t wait to return. To anyone thinking about visiting Tanzania: go with Nkollo Safari. You won’t regret it

  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
