Unforgettable experience
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! 😊

A wonderful caring expert team
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...).

Amazing TZ safari experience!!!!
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!!

Fabulous tour very well organised and run
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.

Absolutely amazing experience
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 :)

Unforgettable Safari Experience – Highly Recommended!
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!

An amazing wild experience
We arrived at Arusha’s Airport and our fantastic guide, named Ringo, picked us up to start our adventure.
We saw Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro NP, Serengeti NP and Tarangire NP. The parks were absolutely fantastic, in particular Serengeti and Ngorongoro where Ringo skillfully managed to find all the “big 5”, as well as many more species.
The accommodations were beautiful, in particular Moyo Tended Camp, immersed in wild nature.
Our guide Ringo was so kind and very careful to make us feel comfortable and happy during our journey.
Thanks a lot! Matteo & Rebecca

Amazing Safari with Perfect Organisation
I first contacted Allan at Nkollo 2 months prior to when we wanted to travel which was Aug 25. Right from the start he was attentive in the communication and always responded promptly to reassure us we were dealing with people that cared and knew what we wanted.
A few days prior to our arrival in Arusha all of the arrangements regarding pickup etc were confirmed and in our arrival mat the airport Vincent our guide for 5 days was there waiting. The truck was perfect for our needs as a family of 4 people, all of the accommodation was lovely and the trip ran like clockwork. Vincent was full of knowledge about the area and where to go to get the best chance of seeing the wildlife, all of which we saw in abundance.
Can't thank the team at Nkollo enough for giving us everything we wanted for a 5 day trip of a lifetime and seeing all of the animals so close up. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Tanzania: A once in a lifetime experience
We chose Nkollo Tours for our honeymoon safari after months of researching different tour companies, and we’re really glad we did. From the start, Allan was incredibly helpful, he answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly, was flexible with special requests, and offered a wide range of accommodation options. We stayed in seven different places, and each one was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with friendly staff and great food.
The payment process was simple: half upfront, half when we arrived. Once we landed in Tanzania, everything was already arranged. Kareem picked us up from the airport, and from that moment on, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Meeting Allan in person was also a nice touch, he made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for.
After a relaxing first night in Arusha, we began our safari adventure. We spent five days exploring Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, and we were incredibly lucky to have Emmanuel as our guide. Emmanuel was the heart of our safari, his deep knowledge of wildlife, sharp eye for spotting animals, and warm personality made every day unforgettable. He made sure we saw the Big Five and so much more, and he took the time to share stories and insights about Tanzanian culture that added real depth to the experience. He was patient, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what he does. Traveling with him felt like being with a friend who genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible.
After the safari, we did a day trip to Materuni Waterfall and the Chagga village. Kareem drove us there and joined us for the coffee tour and traditional meal afterward, which were both well organized and really enjoyable. The hike to the waterfall was beautiful but slippery, a perfect way to wind down after the excitement of the safari.
Overall, our honeymoon with Nkollo Tours was everything we hoped for and more. Everyone we met was kind, professional, and easy to talk to. The whole trip felt personal, well thought out, and full of moments we’ll never forget. We’d absolutely recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania and we can't wait to go back.

Reliable and experienced tour operator with excellent service.
We are very pleased that we chooses Nkollo. Everything from booking, payment and communication with the company worked very smoothly. And the safari itself exceeded our expectations. Our guide Abel was very experienced and knew where to go in the park. He made our safari special with his knowledge and great service and personality. I would definitely recommend Nkollo to others considering a Safari in Tanzania.
