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.

Excellent Safari
We had a great experience with our private tour. A special thank you to Annie for helping us build the tour and for checking in with us along the way to make sure everything was going well. Her support and attention made everything smooth and stress-free.
Our guide, Mollel, was very experienced, knowledgeable, and professional. He made the tour enjoyable and shared lots of interesting information with us.
We highly recommend this tour and would definitely choose them again!

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!

6-Day Safari Experience
Our 6-day safari experience with Nkollo Tours was absolutely amazing from the very first day to the last.
From the beginning, everything was very well organised. The communication before and during the safari was excellent, and we always felt that we were in good hands.
Day 1 – Arusha
We were warmly welcomed and everything was organised smoothly from our arrival. It was a great start to the trip and we were excited for what was coming.
Day 2 – Tarangire National Park
Our first game drive was incredible. We saw so many elephants, giraffes, zebras and other animals, and the landscapes with the baobab trees were beautiful. It was our first real taste of the Tanzanian wilderness and we loved every moment.
Day 3 – Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater was breathtaking. The amount of wildlife in such a unique landscape was incredible, and we were lucky enough to see many different animals during the game drive.
Day 4 – Central Serengeti
The Serengeti was absolutely spectacular. The endless landscapes and the amount of wildlife made this one of the highlights of the trip. We had some unforgettable encounters and our guide always took the time to explain what we were seeing.
Day 5 – Northern Serengeti
This was probably the highlight of the entire safari. Being in the Northern Serengeti during the migration season was an unforgettable experience. We were surrounded by incredible wildlife and had some truly special sightings.
Day 6 – Northern Serengeti
Our final game drive was the perfect way to end the safari. Even on the last day, we continued to see amazing wildlife and enjoyed every moment before heading to the airstrip.
A special thank you to our guide for his professionalism, knowledge, patience and passion. He was always attentive to what we wanted to see and did his best to give us the best possible experience.
The camps were comfortable, the food was good and the whole experience was very well organised.
We couldn’t have asked for a better first safari experience. Tanzania is absolutely incredible, and we will remember these six days for a very long time.
Highly recommended to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania! 🦁🐘🦒❤️

PERFECT
Our safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was an amazing experience that we will never forget. From the beginning to the end, everything was well organized and we always felt comfortable and safe.
A special mention goes to our guide, Ringo. He was one of the best parts of the experience. His passion for wildlife was clear every day, and his knowledge and explanations helped us understand and appreciate the animals much more. He was also very patient and always tried to give us the best possible experience.
We were lucky enough to see so many incredible animals and moments during the safari, and Ringo made every sighting even more special with his explanations.
The accommodations were all beautiful, clean and comfortable, and the food was always very good.
The only thing we might change would be the itinerary on the last day. Lake Manyara had fewer animals than we expected at this time of year, so personally we would have preferred an extra day in the Ngorongoro Crater. However, this was part of the itinerary agreed from the beginning and was not Ringo’s responsibility at all.
Overall, we are extremely happy with our experience. Thank you to Nkollo Tours & Safaris and especially to Ringo for making our safari such a beautiful and unforgettable adventure.
Highly recommended!

An unforgettable Tanzania safari - perfect in every detail!
We couldn't have asked for a better safari experience than the one Nkollo Tours put together for us. From planning to the very last game drive, everything was seamless.
Mercy, who organised our trip, was exceptional from start to finish. Her suggestions and choices of accommodation were spot-on, she replied to every message promptly, and she was endlessly helpful, patiently answering questions well beyond what you'd normally expect from a trip organiser. We particularly want to highlight her recommendation of two Serengeti lodges: Misako Mara Tented Camp, and especially Tokaone Central Serengeti Camp, which were both superb choices we wouldn't have found on our own.
Our driver and safari guide, Richard, was simply outstanding. He drove brilliantly, was clearly respectful of the animals and the environment - something we noticed wasn't always the case with other operators' vehicles we saw out there - and had a real gift for spotting wildlife and getting us away from the crowds whenever he could. He was punctual every single day and kept everything running smoothly. We genuinely couldn't have imagined a better guide.
One more thing that deserves real credit: Nkollo's approach to lunches. They served delicious, local food with no plastic or cardboard packaging, which made a noticeable difference compared to other companies we saw on the road - a small thing that says a lot about how seriously they take sustainability.
All round, a beautifully organised, sustainable, and genuinely incredible safari. Highly recommend Nkollo Tours, and especially ask for Mercy and Richard.

A Wonderful Safari in Tanzania – 5/5
Our safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was truly unforgettable. The organization was excellent throughout the trip, and the special attention they gave us for our honeymoon made the experience even more memorable.
A special mention goes to our guide, Ringo. His knowledge of the animals and their behavior was impressive, and he always knew the best places to go for incredible sightings. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, zebras and many other animals.
Seeing the Mara River crossing was undoubtedly one of the most spectacular moments of our safari.
From Serengeti to Ngorongoro and Tarangire, every day offered something different and special.
Thank you to Nkollo Tours & Safaris and especially to Ringo for such an unforgettable experience. Absolutely recommended!
