The experience was beyond memorable. It changed us. Thank you Colours of Africa.
5/5

My husband and I (mid-30s) just returned from a nearly 2-week trip to Tanzania completely organized by Colours of Africa. We've never trusted another party to organize everything or do an ''all-inclusive'' but the price was right and they talked to us every step of the way making sure to include every stop we wanted. We were so impressed with the communication and the level of trust.

A large portion of our trip was spent on safari in an incredible jeep totally outfitted like in the movies. We had cold water and binoculars provided with a pop-top roof, making us feel ready to see it all...and we did!! Our guide Norton knew everything (really!) about all the animals and nature we encountered. We saw the entire collection of the big 5 (yes, including the elusive Rhino!). He never used a gps. He KNEW those back routes like the back of his hand and could answer our many questions about nature, culture and Tanzania as a country. Every night, he would wipe down that dusty jeep, make sure we were fed by the chef and that we were prepared with the itinerary for the next day. He would show up sharply dressed, on time, and ready to help us in any way he could to feel safe, comfortable and satisfied. It was a level of professionalism we were thrilled with.

When we weren't on safari, we went on some cultural experiences with Allan - also a man of strong character. He connected us with some local tribes, introduced us to local foods and showed us a way of life we could only dream of. Great man. We exchanged cultural ideas and he made us feel so welcome and well cared for. Even taught us some swahili!! haha.

The most memorable parts of our trip were camping in the icy cold Ngorogoro crater and hearing the hyenas laugh at night, seeing baby elephants with their mothers bathing in Tangire muddy water, seeing my husband roast a bird over a fire he helped build after hunting with the Handzabe boys, learning to ''bush bush'' haha if you know you know, hiking to a waterfall (I am in a wheelchair often), and meeting a woman who started her own school in the heart of Lake Eyasi region to further the education of children and girls to give them a chance at life outside of agriculture.

The experience was beyond memorable. It changed us. Thank you Colours of Africa.
