Amazing experience
It was a wonderful experience, and I saw many adorable animals—truly an unforgettable adventure. The professional guide and informative commentary played a crucial role in making this experience perfect. The ride was also very smooth, with no motion sickness at all, which made me feel safe and comfortable throughout.

Great customer service and reasonably priced safari!
I booked a 13-day safari with Colours of Africa very last minute (a mere 7 days ahead) and was very pleasantly surprised by how easy it was. Grace was our point of contact and after providing the initial quote, worked with me to customize the itinerary to add two other parks I wanted to see. I requested the quote 9 days ahead of when I wanted to start and had my custom itinerary booked within 36 hours of my initial quote request. I requested quotes from companies that had good reviews on safaribookings.com and went with Colours of Africa because they were the first company to get back to me and I was in a rush. Fortunately for me, they were also reasonably priced. I gave them my ideal budget per day and they customized my itinerary accordingly. Grace was super responsive before, during, and after our trip, and was especially helpful when filling out our Kenyan e-visa application. I was a bit panicked it wouldn’t be approved in time because I booked a flight from the US to Nairobi only a week ahead of our safari but she assured me I’d be able to get my visa in time (it was approved less than 24 hours after I submitted the application).
Most of our accommodations were nicer than I was expecting given the budget we had and how last minute we booked the trip. I was also very impressed by the quality of the food at our accommodations – normally the mass-produced food at buffets in tourist lodging isn’t very good, but the Indian and local curries and other dishes were delicious.
In Kenya, we went to Samburu, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate, and Amboseli. In Tanzania, we went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti. They were all beautiful and worth going to, but my favorites were Samburu, Naivasha (this was quite different from the other parks and was nice to have a change), Amboseli (also quite different with the wetlands), and Ngorongoro. Seeing the Ngorongoro crater was amazinggggg. And Masai Mara and/or Serengeti have the stereotypical savannah views you imagine you’ll see when you’re on a safari. I’d say it’s not necessary to do both Serengeti and Masai Mara because it’s the same geographical area, just with two different names b/c they’re in different countries. Doing both felt a little repetitive (my fault, I was the one who requested to add Masai Mara to our itinerary).
I think a 13-day safari was a little too long and would have been happy with 10 days – you get tired of sitting in the car all day. But even just a 2-day safari is worth it if that’s all you have time for! I maybe would have swapped Serengeti for somewhere were you’re more likely to see rhinos – We saw one from very far away in Ngorongoro but that’s it. Otherwise, we saw plenty of everything else! We had great guides and especially loved Jonson in Kenya and Juma in Tanzania, they were excellent at spotting animals and getting us close and giving us the time we wanted to take photos and observe the animals.
If I went back to Kenya and Tanzania I’d definitely reach out to Colours of Africa again to help me plan my trip!

Life changing !
We have organized a private four day safari with Colours Africa and Pius was extremely patient with us to make sure we made our dream trip personalized and all the lodges etc for our budget and needs. He always answered immediately in WhatsApp and was very trust worthy. Thanks to him we even got an upgrade in our camp.
Now about our safari guide Dereck, he was simply amazing !!
Everything we wished to see we saw all the animals possible, he made it possible even the hardest ones, like Rhinos. We saw not only the big five but every animal you can think of in the Savana.
Dereck was professional, very safe, and was amazing at sharing his passion and love for animals. He had an incredible knowledge of every animal and knew the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks by heart. If anything was somehow not working he fixed it right away.
He was kind, respectful and very nice to spend our 4 days with. All we can say is Asante sana Dereck! You have made our safari dreams come true ! If ever you have the opportunity choose a guide, choose Dereck!

Absolutely incredible
Our safari through the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded every expectation. From endless golden plains filled with wildlife to the dramatic beauty of the crater, every day felt like stepping into a nature documentary. We saw the Big Five up close, witnessed incredible predator action, and were constantly amazed by the sheer abundance of animals.
Our guide was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation. He always knew where to go at the right time and shared fascinating insights about animal behavior and local culture. The accommodations were comfortable and well chosen, the food was excellent, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
Thank you to Mustafa and everyone and colours Africa for making this a trip we will never forget !
