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.

Unforgettable Safari Experience – Beyond Expectations!
5/5

Colours Africa Tours delivered far beyond our expectations from the moment we began organizing the tour right through to the end—and even beyond. Their attention to detail, warm hospitality, and commitment to crafting a truly unforgettable experience set them apart.

A special thank you to Jemesina, who was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. She handled every query with care and ensured that all our requests and itinerary changes were incorporated smoothly. Thanks to her, the entire tour was seamless and stress-free.

Our guides were phenomenal—Edward in Kenya and Kindu in Tanzania made our safari truly special. Edward’s passion for big cats and his deep understanding of their behavior led us to witness an unforgettable moment: a buffalo chase involving 10 lionesses and 2 lions! We were lucky to also spot a cheetah and leopard on our very first drive. In Tanzania, Kindu worked hard to help us find the last member of the Big Five—the elusive rhino—and he succeeded, making the experience even more complete. He also guided us through the awe-inspiring Great Migration, a natural wonder that is truly bigger and more powerful than one can imagine. Witnessing the endless herds on the move was nothing short of breathtaking.

The glamping accommodations exceeded our expectations. We felt immersed in the African wilderness while still enjoying 5-star comfort. The camp staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, adding a personal touch to every stay.

Upon arriving in Zanzibar, we were met by Suleiman, who arranged all our transfers and ensured we had flexibility in how we spent our time. While we didn’t end up doing the Spice or Stone Town tours, he was proactive and professional in following up and making sure everything was in order. Every transfer across the trip was timely and smooth.

Although we’ve only just returned, we would go back on another African adventure with Colours Africa Tours in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a well-organized, enriching, and truly magical safari experience—look no further.

Exceptional Safari
5/5

Our Tanzanian safari was absolutely perfect thanks to our guide Japhet and Color of Africa. Japhet proved to be an incredibly knowledgeable, reliable and experienced guide - his expertise in wildlife tracking and deep understanding of the ecosystem made every game drive rewarding.

Color of Africa delivered a reliable service and gave us complete peace of mind throughout our journey.

For anyone seeking a truly authentic and well-organized safari experience in Tanzania, we couldn't recommend Japhet and Color of Africa more highly!

Beautiful Safari in Tanzania with Colours Africa Tours and Safaris
5/5

For our Safari trip we contacted company Colours of Africa...
They were really professional, (girls from office, drivers, Safari guide/driver), they tried to fulfill all our wishes. Especially Jemesina from office and our lovely guide Derrick who stayed with us for 7 days safari.

Derrick was constantly in communication with other colleagues (on walkie talkie) to hear information's about animals that we wanted to see. Thanks to him we saw about 50 lions, 7 cheetahs, Serval, jackals, one rhino, many wildebeest, zebra, elephants and all other animals...every time when we asked him to stop for taking pictures of something interesting he stopped and said "take your time" enjoy...he is really grate.
Also when we transferred to Zanzibar, our host and guide mr. Suleiman was so eager to help and he also organized everything according to our wishes (scuba diving, journey to northern part of island, visiting Stone town etc...)

There are some small things that could be improved, especially in accommodation (because maybe when the company made arrangements with some accommodation they offered much better service than now, for example, Karibu heritage house in Arusha they didn't had warm water for shower...and Ifa beach resort, their locks on the doors were either broken or malfunctioned so we had to wait for repairs...also they serve food but without any alcohol (beer , wine) so we went to some restaurants on the beach for dinner, lunch...)

Also during the Safari, I recommend to make program little bit changed (in Serengeti), maybe first night in Golden safari, then second in Intimate camp Zebra and then again in Golden safari...also you should reconsider to expand the visit to National park Ngoro Ngoro on two days (because accommodation for that day visit is pretty far from the park and you loose some time for driving to park...then in the park we stayed only 3-4 hours which is for my opinion too little)...maybe you should expand the visit to later afternoon and then organize sleeping somewhere between Arusha and Ngoro Ngoro....just a suggestion.

All in all. 5 star experience...Thank you all!

A great safari experince!
5/5

We just had a wonderful safari experince.The safari was well organized by Colors Africa Safaris, specifically our tour guide and driver, Kindu. Kindu always brought us to the best place to watch the animals which we expected to see, such as lions, elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, etc, and beautiful natural views, e.g baobab tree. Kindu is very dedicated, warm, and knowledgeable person, and he speaks English and Chinese too. He calls him as Bruce Lee, which makes us feel even more intimate. The accommodation and service were also great.
We highly recommend Kindu and the company.
