We had a wonderful experience on our safari in Tanzania, perfectly organized by Annie, who assisted us with great professionalism and attention to every detail.
A special thank you goes to our guide, Daudi—a highly knowledgeable and personable young man with whom we immediately hit it off. He speaks excellent Italian, and it was truly important for us to be able to communicate with him easily and fully understand all his explanations. Thanks to his experience and passion, we managed to see the "Big Five" and even witness the spectacle of the Great Migration—a truly unforgettable moment.
We had a fantastic time with him and the entire agency. It is an experience we highly recommend to everyone! 🦁🦬🦏🐘🐆❤️

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! 🇹🇿🦁🐘🦏🐆🐃

Guided by professionals like Saeed who combine skill, knowledge, and real attention to your journey.
Our safari game drive in Tanzania exceeded every expectation, and so much of that credit goes to the expertise and dedication of our guide, Saeed. From the moment we set out, it was clear we were in capable hands. Saeed is professional and genuinely intelligent, the kind of guide who combines deep knowledge about wildlife behavior and local ecology with an intuitive sense of where animals will be and how to position us for the best views. In a landscape crowded with jeeps all chasing the same sightings, this skill made a real difference.
He was constantly observing, listening, and anticipating our needs, never making us feel rushed or overlooked. More than just pointing out animals, he shared the wealth of knowledge he has about their behavior, ecology, and the local culture, turning each sighting into a genuine learning experience. One moment that will stay with us forever: thanks to Saeed's keen eye and positioning, we witnessed a cheetah making a kill in real time. These are the moments that define a safari, and they don't happen by accident. Your guide is absolutely the heart of a safari experience, and Saeed was undoubtedly a highlight of our trip.
Behind the scenes, Annie's coordination was equally impressive. She chose accommodation that was special in its own way at each stop, thoughtfully selected places that enhanced the overall experience. The itinerary was well planned. When we encountered issues along the way, Annie made us feel genuinely supported and prioritized solving them.
We'd enthusiastically recommend Saeed as your guide!

A trip of a lifetime!
We are truly glad we chose this tour. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
When we first received the quotation, we were planning to stay at the hotels listed in it. However, by the time we were ready to make the bookings, some of those hotels were already fully booked, as we were traveling in August, which is a very busy season. Even so, the tour team kindly helped us find alternative hotels that were similar and just as suitable.
The time difference between my country and Tanzania is also quite significant, but the tour team was incredibly responsive and always willing to help, even late at night. We really appreciated their kindness, flexibility, and support throughout the planning process.
The hotels arranged for us were all very good, and the safari camps were especially wonderful. Our driver was also fantastic and made the safari experience even more special. He had an incredible amount of knowledge about the animals and was able to answer all of our questions. We learned so much from him throughout the safari.
The highlight of the entire trip was, of course, the safari. Thanks to our wonderful driver, we were able to see all of the Big Five! We are particularly interested in photography, and he always took the time to position the vehicle in the best possible spot, allowing us to take some truly amazing photos. His knowledge, patience, and attention to detail made a huge difference.
At first, we wondered if the tour was a little expensive, but looking back, we can honestly say that it was worth every moment. The experience, the support, the accommodations, and especially the safari made it completely worthwhile.
We are so happy we chose this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Exceptional service, warm hospitality and an unforgettable safari experience from start to finish!
We had an absolutely amazing five-day safari experience in Tanzania with Emmanuel as our guide and driver!
From the very beginning, Emmanuel was friendly, communicative, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared so much information with us about the wildlife, nature, local culture, and Tanzania in general, which made the whole experience even more interesting and memorable. His hospitality was exceptional, and he always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment of the trip.
He is also an excellent and very skilled driver — something you definitely appreciate after five days on safari! Beyond his professionalism, Emmanuel has a fantastic personality and brought so much fun and positive energy to our group. We even discovered that he is a great singer and dancer, which made some of our moments together even more unforgettable!
By the end of the five days, it felt like we had travelled with a friend rather than simply a tour guide.
We would 100% recommend Nkollo Tours for a safari in Tanzania, and especially Emmanuel as your guide and driver. If you have the opportunity to request him specifically, do it — you will be in excellent hands!
Thank you, Emmanuel, for making our Tanzania experience so special and unforgettable! 🇹🇿

Great communication and perfect guide (Ringo)!
I originally requested different quotes and Nkollo tour came back with competitive pricing and what I realy appreciated, different accommodation options in each location within the budget range we specified. When I enquired about the pros and cons of different lodges, I got quick useful info back and the booking process was very straightforward.
As it was our first safari and was travelling with my 11 year old daughter, I was a bit worried if all going to be ok, but it was!! All so well organised and smooth!!
And than the safari...our guide, Ringo was a star!! Made sure we have all what we need in the car from snacks to drinks etc. ( my daughter got nut free snack packed as she is allergic)!
He checked what animals we are excited to see and made sure we spent lots of times with them ( a lot with hippos for my daughter!!:))
Gave interesting information, took us away from the crowd ( being high season in August) so we could experience lion/ hiena hunt by ourselves.
We saw everything we wanted and more!
Accommodation everywhere were very comfortable and high standard. Very good food!! Even the packed lunch was nice cooked meal.
We thought this safari will be a one of a lifetime experience...but we are already thinking about when we could return!!:)))

Excellent
We booked our safari with this company and it was amazing. They personalised it for us and it met our exact requirements. They sorted flights, all transport and a hot air balloon safari on addition to the four day safari we requested. Everything went perfectly we would absolutely use again! Our driver Bateau was excellent!

An unforgettable experience
Here's the English version:

Our safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was a winner from start to finish. Everything was well thought out, nothing left to chance. For us this was a family trip, and at every turn you could tell there was real attention behind it – not some standard package being processed.
Our guide, Ringo, was the real reason this trip was so good. The man knows the animals, the ecosystems and the behavior of the wildlife inside out. He spotted animals at distances where we were just staring blankly into the green, and always knew exactly where to go and when to simply wait. The kids absolutely took him to heart – he took them seriously, answered their questions and brought them along rather than just letting them tag behind.
The wildlife was simply overwhelming. We saw the Big Five, several rhinos, plenty of lions, elephants and buffaloes. On top of that cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras and countless other animals – and often up close. The absolute highlight was the Great Migration: we witnessed the river crossing at the Mara River. That's something you never forget.
We visited the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, and each park had its own character. Ringo managed the time perfectly: never rushed, never that feeling of being herded from one animal to the next, always enough calm to really enjoy the moments.
The organization around it all was spot on too. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt safe and well looked after the whole time – as a family, that matters even more.
A huge thank you to Nkollo Tours & Safaris for this unforgettable trip. We'd recommend them anytime – and Ringo right along with them.

An unforgettable safari made special by our amazing guide David
We had an incredible safari as a group of four, and a huge part of what made the experience so special was our guide, David. He is an exceptional person and an outstanding guide. His German is incredibly fluent, and he was friendly, funny, intelligent and extremely knowledgeable.
What impressed us most was his genuine passion for nature and for what he does. You could truly feel how much he loves the wildlife and his work. He shared his knowledge with us with so much enthusiasm, while always making the safari relaxed and enjoyable.
David turned an already wonderful safari into a truly unforgettable experience. We are very grateful for the amazing memories we made and, above all, for having had the chance to meet such a wonderful person. We would absolutely recommend Nkolo Tours & Safaris — especially with David as your guide!
