Unforgettable safari experience with Emmanuel and Nkollo Tours
We had the most incredible safari experience thanks to Annie and our amazing guide, Emmanuel, from Nkollo Tours & Safaris. They took excellent care of us throughout the entire trip.
We highly recommend booking a 5-day safari with this company and requesting Emmanuel as your guide.
He was an outstanding guide: calm, relaxed, fun, and great to talk and laugh with. He has extensive knowledge of the animals and always does everything in his power to give you the best experience possible.
The lodges were beautiful, comfortable, and served excellent food. The packed lunches were also very good and included rice, vegetables, and either meat or fish. Before the trip, they ask whether you have any allergies or special dietary requirements.
Communication with Annie was excellent. She always replied quickly, made us feel welcome, and ensured that the itinerary and quotation could be adjusted to our wishes.

Excellent service from start to finish
We booked 4-Day Tarangire,Serengeti 2 Nights,
Ngorongoro & Masai Visit tour with Nkollo tours almost 4 months ago and since that day, Mercy, our tour operator had been there to answer every question, working through the concerns( food allergies).
He was transparent when it came to payments etc. no hidden fee or anything.
Absolutely hassle free booking.
Our safari experience was awesome. We had no challenges and no concerns. Both accommodations (lodge and tent) were really good except one minor thing - water pressure in the shower at the lodger was really low. Other than that our experience - bush dinner and breakfast at the lodge was awesome. Food was delicious. Everyone was so nice. Chefs at both places (lodge and tent) were able to accommodate restrictions for my daughter's allergies.
Now as for Richard, our tour guide, if we can say in one sentence, we would say that if we do safari again, we will only do with Richard as our guide. He is funny, nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. And most of all, he is such a nice human being. We really created a bond with him.
Last but not least, we would also like to thank you. You took care of all our queries and concerns during the planning and afterward. So, thank you! We wish you and Richard all the best.

Outstanding service, expert guides, and a seamless, unforgettable Tanzania adventure.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Nkollo Tours to make this dream trip a reality. Allan was incredibly helpful during the planning stages, allowing us to personalize our itinerary with ease. Not having to build a trip from scratch and simply needing to show up on the first morning made for a stress-free and unforgettable safari experience.
Our driver, Gadi, was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the parks. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see the Big Five and many other amazing animals throughout our safari. We greatly appreciated both his service and the quality and comfort of our vehicle.
We also thoroughly enjoyed our transfers with Martin on the Hakuna Matata Express as we traveled from the safari portion of our trip to the Mt. Kilimanjaro area. His friendly service made the journey enjoyable and seamless.
Thank you to the entire team for an incredible experience. We highly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.

A great 4-day safari
We booked a 4-day, 3-night safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and had a very positive experience throughout.
Tarangire was particularly impressive, with its beautiful green and hilly landscapes and an incredible number of elephants. We also had the chance to see two magnificent lions. The Serengeti was equally rewarding, with numerous lion sightings, including females with cubs, as well as cheetahs and leopards.
The accommodation was excellent throughout the trip. All the hotels were very clean, in great locations, with friendly staff and excellent breakfasts.
A special mention goes to our guide and driver, Emanuel. He was very pleasant to travel with, and we enjoyed many interesting conversations during the journey. He has a remarkable ability to spot animals, often finding wildlife long before we could see it ourselves, which made the safari even more enjoyable.
The entire trip was well organised from start to finish, and communication with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was smooth and reliable. Overall, it was a memorable safari experience and a great way to explore some of Tanzania's most iconic parks.

100% recommend
We waited six years for this safari trip, so when it came to choosing a tour operator, we wanted to make sure we picked people who would help us have the best experience possible. We wanted people who would respond quickly, offer flexibility in choosing accommodations, and connect with us on a deeper level than just tour operator—just another random client. We wanted someone who was ethical when it came to animals, who could provide us with information about what we were seeing, and with whom we could feel completely at ease—someone we could trust completely for five days, knowing they would do everything possible to ensure we had the best experience. We found all of these things with the team at Nkollo. From the planning stage right through to the moment we returned to Arusha, they took care of absolutely everything. Our only job was to let ourselves be spoiled and experience the magic of being around those wonderful animals.
Allan was very patient with us, providing us with the most superb accommodations, and Vincent was a very knowledgeable guide and someone we enjoyed spending five days with in the same car. There are so many tour operators, and sometimes it’s hard to know from home what they’re really like, but I can say hand on heart that the team at Nkollo are extraordinary.
Thank you, Allan & Vincent!

Great safari experience
Nkollo was a very easy company to work with. They were responsive, easy to communicate with, flexible with the itinerary, and reliable. Emmanuel was our guide and he was absolutely great. He was a good driver, was knowledgeable about the animals and the parks, always on time, and easy to get along with. We highly recommend him as a safari guide.

AMAZING!!
Our safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and our guide Richard was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Seeing wildlife up close in places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely breathtaking.
We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and even a cheetah amen here new born cubs in the wild. Richard was amazing at spotting animals and explaining their behavior, which made the experience even more special.
The lodges and camps were comfortable, the food was great, and waking up to the sounds of nature every morning was unforgettable. The landscapes were stunning, and every day felt like a new adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend it. It’s an incredible way to experience nature and wildlife in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

A great experience
We booked a fly in, overnight stay and departure for the following day. The safari took in a different park each day and an overnight stay at a luxury hotel.
All aspects of were covered from flights to accommodation and meals. We were delighted either the service and communication with Mercy the organiser.
Our tour guide, Ringo was knowledgeable and worked tirelessly to ensure that we got the maximum out of our safari.
This was a fabulous life experience.

Safari of a lifetime with a highly skilled guide, very comfortable car, warm lunches & beautiful acc
We had the most amazing safari with Nkollo Tours! We saw the big 5 and many more animals. It was all we hoped for and more.
We also saw 3 leopards in 3 different parks! We were very lucky.
The accommodations were great, especially the tented camps in the Serengeti where we could spot herds of elephants from our tent and during breakfast and the bush dinner and breakfast we had at another lodge.
Our guide Richard is a highly skilled guide. He has a great eye for spotting animals (like spotting a leopard in the bushes next to the road while he was driving), has a lot of knowledge about the animals and their behaviour, is an excellent driver, tailors the game drives to your preferences (and took different routes than most drivers so we were not bunched up with other vehicles) and on top of that he is very friendly.
During the game drives we had warm lunches and once we just ate in the Serengeti with views of a herd of elephants.
The car was very comfortable (as much as it can be on bumpy roads in the parks).
We stayed 2 nights in the Serengeti which I definitely recommend. Also, Ngorongoro crater is stunning. We also did the crater rim walk there which was great too. Tarangire NP is good for spotting elephants and Lake Manyara has a different vegetation.
Furthermore, when booking the safari Mercy was a great help. She gave us a personalised quote, offered different options for the route and the accommodations and was always very quick to respond.
This was really a safari of a lifetime and I recommend Nkollo Tours a 1000%!

Highly recommended! Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional tour operator.
Thank you for an incredible trip Nkollo Tours! We can’t recommend enough.
The accomodation organised was perfect - we particularly enjoyed the remote Moyo Tented Camp (Central Serengeti).
Thank you to Mercy who was very helpful and communicative in the booking process and throughout our trip. It made it very easy for us!
A huge thank you to Dereck (our guide) who made our trip! Thank you for everything - you are incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable and we can’t thank you enough! We saw every animal imaginable (including a chameleon!) A truly special trip that we will remember forever.
Thank you!
Jack and Georgie
