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.

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.
