Genuine and stunning
The experience with Nkollo was simply perfect. Annie, our contact person, was very helpful in accommodating our requests and making sure that the vacation went smoothly.
Our guide, Micheal, was always smiling, helpful, and ready to fulfill our wishes and answer our curiosities; he made us feel truly pampered and at home. The food was always delicious and authentic. The overnight accommodations were all nice and clean—Tukaone in the Serengeti was a crazy, immersive experience with magnificent tents and amazing food.
What can I say?
Excellent value for money for an unforgettable experience.

An Unforgettable Safari with Nkollо Tours & Safaris and Ringo– 10/10!
Our safari with Nkollо Tours & Safaris was incredible from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. As this was our honeymoon, Nkollo was great arranging something special for us at every hotel, which made us feel truly cared for and made the whole experience even more memorable.
Our guide, Ringo, was definitely a great guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, wildlife and ecosystems, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. He had an incredible ability to spot animals from a distance and, more importantly, understood their behavior and knew exactly where to go and when to wait.
Thanks to Ringo, we were incredibly lucky with our sightings. We saw the Big Five, including several rhinos and an incredible number of lions, elephants and buffaloes. We also saw cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras and countless other animals. One of the most spectacular moments was witnessing the Mara River crossing, which was an unforgettable experience.
We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, and each park offered something different. Ringo managed our time perfectly and always made sure we had enough time to enjoy the sightings rather than simply rushing from one animal to another.
The overall organization was also good. Everything ran smoothly throughout the safari, and we always felt safe and well taken care of.
A huge thank you to Nkollо Tours & Safaris for making our safari so memorable. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Nkollo and Ringo gave us four unforgettable days
Everything started with friendly, professional communication even before we booked our safari. Mercy from Nkollo was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. She answered all of our questions promptly and guided us through every step of preparing not only for the safari itself but also for our trip to Tanzania. Thanks to her advice, we decided for 4-day tour in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and were able to make the most of the experience with our children.
The best part, however, began when we met our guide, Ringo. His passion and enthusiasm for wildlife are truly contagious. Thanks to his outstanding knowledge of the national parks and animal behavior we were able to see big five. But what more, Ringo went out of his way to make sure each of us got to spend time with our favorite animals, herds of hippos for our son, elephants for me. Ringo trully made every one of our safari wishes come true and was able to answer every question we and our kids had. Even though we were traveling with young children, we felt completely safe at all times. Both we and our kids enjoyed every single minute of the adventure.
Every accommodation arranged by Nkollo was unique in its own way. What they all had in common was warm, welcoming staff, delicious food, and clean, comfortable surroundings. And spending a night in a tent inside the park? What could be better than falling asleep surrounded by a herd of zebras, listening to the sounds of the wild throughout the night, and waking up to giraffes or antelopes right outside your tent?
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, don’t think twice - contact Nkollo, ask for Ringo, and let’s go wild!

Great safari with an excellent guide
My wife and I had an amazing time on safari in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorogoro Crater. It has formed part of our honeymoon and the service we received from the moment we arrived off of our plane in Seronera was exceptional. Our guide introduced himself with a huge smile, which never left his face throughout the 3 days we were with him. A beautiful touch, which we were not expecting was that there was a 'Just Married' cover on the spare tyre on the back of the jeep.
The Jeep/Land cruiser was comfortable, spacious and had lots of storage facilities and full power to charge our devices. It also included an opening roof so we could stand and see the animals with maximum ease and with the best view.
Said (our guide) was polite, helpful, considerate of our wants and needs and so full of knowledge about the park, animals, other wildlife and the local area. He could not have done enough for us to ensure we had the best time.
Lunches were really delicious, freshly prepared by the lodges and were always full meals, as opposed to sandwiches. We had chicken, rice, spaghetti, beef mince, burgers along with fresh fruit, cakes, biscuits, etc.
There was also an electric cool box full of water, soft drinks and beer which were inclusive of the price. All were plentiful and readily available for when we wanted/needed.
The lodges we stayed at were lovely. Night one was at Wildlux Serengeti Camp where we were welcomed with a traditional song/dance which was amazing. The camp team had made our room up to showcase our honeymoon with a decorated bed which was a lovely touch. The food served at dinner was also delicious and the overall service was excellent.
Night 2 was at Nakupenda Luxury Lodge. For us, this location was the better of the two. The service was better (not that it was bad on night one, just better here), the facilities nicer (including a camp fire to watch the sunset) and food options better (buffet style). At the end of our stay here, we were gift a 'happy honeymoon' cake which was so kind and thoughtful.
We saw every animal we wanted to see, apart from Leopards - which evaded us unfortunately. So 4 out of the Big 5, which we were so happy with.
Overall, we couldn't have wished for a better trip or guide - if you have a choice, please consider Said. He was brilliant from start to finish. Thank you so much for giving us the best time and helping us create some amazing memories ❤️

Excellent Safari
We decided to go with a local Safari company and it was definitely the right decision. The company was extremely flexible and helpful during organization and also during Safari itself. Our guide jephter was the best. He was able to Show ist the best animal spots in all areas. We SAW lions, lepards, rhinos, Hippos, Giraffen, Monkeys, buffalos, Antilopes, hyenas, elephants and many more. It was also much cheaper than German Safari company. We can definitely recommend.

Thank you Ringo
I just returned from my dream safari in Tanzania, which was a huge success thanks to our amazing guide, Ringo.
During the booking process,
Nkollo Tours went above and beyond to ease my anxiety, which really helped build my trust in them. As a South Korean traveler, I initially considered booking through a Korean travel agency. However, after reading several blog posts by Korean travelers highlighting various issues with third-party agencies, I decided to contact a local operator directly.
My biggest concern during this process was whether I could fully trust a local company and feel secure about making an upfront deposit. Moreover, since accommodation makes up the largest portion of the safari budget, I absolutely could not tolerate any last-minute lodging changes on-site. Nkollo Tours put in exceptional effort to reassure me and ensure everything went exactly as planned. Thank you so much for accommodating my detailed requests and providing such a reliable service.
Having an excellent guide is crucial for a successful safari, and Ringo was incredibly skilled. We desperately wanted to witness the Great Migration—specifically the wildebeest crossing the Mara River—and hoped to catch the action from a prime viewing spot. Ringo executed this perfectly. He brought us to the best vantage point at just the right moment. Watching how smoothly he managed the entire experience convinced us of his deep expertise and professionalism.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and although the leopard was quite far away, it was still an incredibly enjoyable journey. We got to see so many animals up close, the accommodations were in excellent condition, and we felt incredibly welcomed throughout the trip.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Nkollo Tours for their trustworthiness and seamless communication, and a special thank you to our guide, Ringo!

It was an amazing safari with excellent guide Francis!
We did a 5 day safari with Nkollo tours. The communication with Annie in advance went very well. She answered quickly on our questions and tried to make the best proposal together with us.
But our safari wasn’t that amazing without our excellent guide Francis.
His knowledge of the whole trip is plainly amazing. He was very aware of all the animals around, showed us every interesting point & went straight to all the other points of interest which made the trip for us even more amazing. It was nice to have him with us & we would recommend him for everyone else too. We already miss him!
The lunches which were provided by Nkollo were also amazing. They were well above our expectations.
The accomodations were also very good and well prepared and well equipped! All the personnel at the locations were very helpful and kind.
As a quick side note; make sure you bring enough cash! On some locations during the trip the wifi (as expected) didn’t work too well which made card payments uncomfortably hard.

Great safari experience, support and guidance
We had great experience with Nkollo tours. It was perfectly planed and executed. Anne was great support from begining to the end. Always responded quickly and helped with any question that we had. We were a family with two children, one was 7,5 month old at the time of travel. Everything went without any troubles and that's also thanks to our guide Alfred, who was very nice, kind and provided us with a lot of information about wild life, culture and environment that we have seen.
We even saw the big 5. Would recommend Nkollo tours, Anne and Alfred as a guide anytime.

Great service, very flexible and responsive
We loved how responsive Anne was answering all the questions we had about the trip. She was also very kind with any needed changes to the itinerary that we requested. Our guide Alfred was perfect. Nice, kind, experienced and provided us with a lot of informations about the animals, nature and the culture we experienced with him. We were traveling with two small children (one of them an infant) and we had no problems. We even saw the big 5! The trip will be remembered dearly and would do it again. I would recommend Alfred as your guide any time.
