Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
5/5

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!

Absolutely amazing experience
5/5

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 :)

Fabulous tour very well organised and run
5/5

Choosing a safari from so many operators can be bewildering. However the initially personalised itinerary and professional approach from Allan was outstanding. Booking was very easy and he was very flexible when our travel dates changed. Nothing was too much to ask, and therefore our arrival in Arusha after an 11 hour flight was very easy. We met Vincent our guide the following morning who was very friendly, knowledgeable and throughout the whole 5 days was always keen to try to show us everything he could. His intimate knowledge of the landscape, flora and fauna made for a very enjoyable trip, and spending evenings having dinner was also enjoyable. All the lodges were fabulous, food was great and lunch everyday on safari was great usually with a spectacular view. Lions walking by overnight in tented lodge was quite amazing. Managed to see big 5 and ugly 5!!
I would highly recommend Nkollo to anyone consider a safari in Tanzania, with Allan’s organisation and Vincent’s knowledge you cannot go wrong.

Amazing TZ safari experience!!!!
5/5

Let me start but saying NKOLLO TOURS IS TRULY AMAZING! I had booked a safari tour with a different company via my travel agent in the UK. When we arrived in Zanzibar, i wanted to check this company were coming for us and to my horror they let us down with a days notice!! We were so disappointed so I searched the internet and found Nkollo, read the reviews and reached out. Straight away, Allan (the owner of Nkollo) messaged me back and was very friendly and reassuring. He listened to what i wanted and advised on a better option than the one pre-booked from the UK. His advice was impeccable and his communication second to none. He managed to arrange it for us in 48 hours with a collection from our hotel in Zanzibar to the airport and then to Arusha - ALL SEAMLESS. We were met my our guide for the 2 days, Ringo. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Ringo was informative, catered to our needs and was keen to make our experience memorable. We visited Tarangire national park on day 1 and Ngorogoro crater on the 2nd day. By day 2, we still hadn't seen lions so Ringo was determined to find them...we found them straight! All in, we saw lion, lionesses, cubs, hyenas, elephants, zebra, wildebeests, impala, gazelle, hippo, flamingo, buffalo. We had a luxury lodge for the night between. Lunch was picnic style, all locally prepared, proper cutlery.....this trip was so memorable and literally a bucket list experience. Please use Nkollo tours, a local company with amazing guides, local knowledge, best experience ever!!

A wonderful caring expert team
5/5

Unlike many agencies that drive around in Range Rovers all day to find spots first, Nkollo has a deep respect for nature and animals. Their service is Deluxe (tablecloth, metal cups for meals and not a quick camping trip...).

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We had an unforgettable four-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with Nkollo Tours! Before the trip, we couldn’t have imagined how many animals and amazing places we would get to see.

Our guide, Ringo, took really good care of us throughout the journey. We always felt safe and he took an extra step to make us confortable and happy. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five—and so many other animals—often from very close!

Thank you, Nkollo Tours and Ringo, for an unforgettable safari adventure. We’ll definitely recommend Nkollo Tours to all our friends! 😊
