Reviews
Reliable,cooperative,excellent by all means
During our trip planning,we contacted a few agencies,but Nkollo tours met our needs with adjusting to our wishes very qiuckly and with much patience. Thank you,Mercy! Everything went smoothly-from the airport pickup, accomodation in Arusha,two wonderful day trips. All the guides were professional and we learned and saw a lot. But the best,amazing part, is the 5-day safari with Ringo. That was incredible! The wilderness is breathtaking,but the guide that loves it and knows it as Ringo does, makes it unforgetable experience. Besides,we have felt totaly safe. The drive was full of stories, jokes and good mood thank to that good fellow. Serious when he should be, joyfull all the time,quiet and discrete,but on our service,and so full of knowledge and love for wildlife and Afrika. Excellent English. Unforgetable smile. The accomodation in safari were fantastic. We love Ringo,and we will certainly recommend Nkollo tours and Ringo as the safari guide to all of our friends who plan Tanzania trip. And it calls us back,too.

Great safari trip, Anne gave great support and Gerald is an excellent guide.
We had a wonderful safari experience arranged by Nkollo Tours & Safaris. Anne was super helpful and always replied promptly whenever we had questions or adjustments to our itinerary. Our guide Gerald was fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. The driver was professional and punctual. The whole trip was well-organized and smooth, even when we met unexpected issues like lost luggage. Highly recommend this company for your Tanzania trip!

Nkollo made our first trip to Africa and Tanzania life-changing!
When we started planning our Tanzania trip, we were stressed about which safaris and lodges to book and how to find trustworthy lodges and guides. On Safaribookings, I came across Nkollo and several other tour operators, all of whom sent free quotes promptly. But the responsiveness and supportive attitude of Annie Wallace from Nkollo stood out. She accommodated every customization we asked for and planned the trip perfectly.
Annie also helped with things that were never part of our booking: airport transfers, celebrations at the lodges we stayed at, free upgrades to luxury lodges, and more.
We also want to thank our friendly and amazing guide, Said. He was accommodating and deeply knowledgeable about all the parks and sighting areas. He didn't just help us spot wildlife; he helped us understand the parks and the behavioral patterns of the animals. That turned our safari into an immersive experience of observing wildlife rather than simply sighting animals. Before every game drive, Said would tell us, "Let the nature surprise us!" And surprise us it did, thanks to Nkollo.
Said and Annie went above and beyond to give us a beautiful, memorable first experience of Africa and Tanzania. Nkollo believes in prompt and honest communication and stellar service, at a price that was better than any other operator I spoke with.
I would also like to acknowledge the man behind this amazing organization, Alan, who is building a travel company focused on quality Tanzanian experiences at great value for money. Keep up the good work! We hope to experience Tanzania with Nkollo again the next time we visit this beautiful country.
We strongly recommend Nkollo to any first-time traveller to Tanzania.
PS: Our guide told us Nkollo means "Soul" in the founder's local language. That is exactly what every interaction with the Nkollo team felt like: soulful, warm people genuinely trying to give you a great experience in Tanzania.

Unforgettable 6-Day Safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris – 5 Stars!
We had an amazing 6-day safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris! Our guide Gerald was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. We saw Lion,Common Wathog,Serval in Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. The jeep was comfortable and well-stocked, and all the lodges and camps were great. Everything was well organized, from airport transfers to local SIM cards. Highly recommended! Asante sana, Nkollo!

An unforgettable safari with an exceptional guide
Our safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was an unforgettable experience and we would happily recommend the company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. The whole trip was very well organised from beginning to end. Communication with Annie before the safari was quick, easy and straightforward, and throughout the trip we always felt that everything was taken care of.
A very special mention has to go to our guide, Said, who was without doubt one of the main reasons our safari was so memorable. From the first day, we felt completely comfortable and well looked after. Whenever an unexpected issue came up along the way, he remained calm, found a solution and handled the situation professionally, so we always felt that we were in good hands.
He has excellent knowledge of the animals, their behaviour and the parks, as well as a great instinct for wildlife. He seemed to know where to go, what to look for and when it was worth waiting. Again and again, this put us in the right place at the right time and gave us some fantastic close encounters with wildlife.
We were extremely fortunate to see the Big Five as well as many other species, often from very close range. Of course, this is wild nature and no animal sighting can ever be guaranteed. We were lucky, but having an experienced guide who knows how to read the landscape and animal behaviour makes a huge difference.
A big thank you to Nkollo Tours & Safaris, to Annie for organising everything, and especially to Said for making this such a special experience. If you are considering booking with Nkollo, we can wholeheartedly recommend them - and we would especially recommend asking for Said as your guide.

Once in a lifetime experience!
Our safari with Nkollo Tours was truly beyond anything we could have dreamed of. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful, making the entire experience feel easy and well organised.
A special thank you to Mercy from the office, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole trip. She was incredibly responsive, checked in with us regularly, and made sure everything was going smoothly. It was reassuring to know that we had such great support throughout the journey.
We visited Tarangire, the North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and every destination was completely different and incredible in its own way. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the wildlife exceeded anything we could have imagined. We saw so many animals — including the Big Five — and it honestly felt like we saw almost everything we could have hoped for. Every day brought another incredible sighting or unforgettable moment.
The wildebeest migration was a particular highlight and was more spectacular than we ever imagined. Seeing the sheer scale of the migration and experiencing it in person was something we will never forget.
Our guide, Ringo, also played an important part in making the safari so memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and the parks. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, while also giving us the space to simply take everything in and enjoy those magical moments.
Overall, our safari with Nkollo Tours was an incredible experience from start to finish. The organisation, communication, wildlife, landscapes, and unforgettable moments all came together to create a trip that exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to Mercy, Ringo, and the entire Nkollo Tours team for an absolutely unforgettable safari. We would recommend Nkollo Tours in a heartbeat!
