The Best Safari Experience - Authentic, Professional, and Truly Caring
I cannot recommend Colours of Africa enough - their services were impeccable from start to finish! They arranged an incredible journey for us, carefully considering all our suggestions while ensuring the logistics made sense every step of the way.
The highlight was their recommendation to visit the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes - hands down the best cultural experience we've ever had. It felt completely authentic and fascinating, never staged, offering us a truly unique perspective on life.
We chose an itinerary spanning two countries - Kenya and Tanzania - which they coordinated flawlessly. Our Kenyan driver, Victor, is an amazing guide with the eye of an eagle, spotting animals from incredible distances and knowing exactly where to find the action. In Tanzania, Derek was super calm, prioritizing safety and our wellbeing above everything else. He's a fun person to travel with and did an excellent job tracking wildlife. The peak of our trip was witnessing the great migration - another fantastic suggestion from him!
Throughout everything, Hatibu was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to craft the best offer, secure the accommodations we requested, and provide all necessary documents for our Kenya ETA. What impressed me most was his availability - he responded to every WhatsApp message within 5 minutes, 24/7, no matter the question or request. Even more touching, he actually checked in after our trip to make sure we arrived home safely! I've traveled with agencies in different countries, but no one has ever shown that level of care.
All in all, the people at Colours of Africa are exceptional, the service is outstanding and we had an incredible journey with them!

An excellent Tanzania based company
We had a wonderful 2 week safari with Colours of Africa in Northern Tanzania. In spite of challenging circumstances (beyond their control) Colours cleared every hurdle to provide us with an amazing, safe and comfortable trip. Our guide, Norton, was a great fit for our group of 4 and was very thoughtful to make the trip exactly as we wanted. He is a great spotter (or wildlife and birds) and stopped whenever we wanted for whatever reason. The food was great, the accommodations good and as described, and the wildlife viewing extraordinary. We felt their price price to be reasonable compared to other companies. We do HIGHLY recommend Colours of Africa for you Tanzania safari. We also had occasion to work with the Kenya team briefly and they were also great.

An Awesome Company That Knows the Importance of Good Communication
We, two couples, just returned home from an amazing 3 week safari and cultural trip with Colours of Africa Tours and Safaris. What a fantastic group of local (Arusha) tour guides and drivers! We certainly made a good choice when planning the trip through this company. In fact, before going we wondered if this company was for real. They were so good!
Pius, a salesman for the company, was especially good - polite, communicative and patient. We worked together through 14 itineraries until we had the trip that we wanted that included seeing animals and birds as well as visiting local tribes and having a varied experience. A lot to ask for but Pius came through with a perfect custom-made itinerary for us.
Due to the political unrest in Tanzania during their elections, our flight was cancelled and Godlissen, an owner of the company, suggested that we go to Nairobi. We did and were met by Paul, another Colours of Africa employee who helped us with a plan for our time in Kenya.
The political situation quieted down and two drivers drove us to Arusha to start our original tour there. We were so well taken care of!
Our guide/driver Norton was the best for us. He is a caring man who knows his animals and birds and is a safe driver. He just seemed to know how to make us comfortable and happy. He was with us for two full weeks as we made our way through the National Parks and Conservations areas.
We also had several local guides who took us on walking safaris and into villages and translated for us. Everyone one of them had interesting things to tell us and made sure that we were safe.
Colours of Africa also arranged for our flights, hotels and transfers to Zanzibar and then on to Nairobi. We were well taken care of. They are excellent communicators which was very reassuring.
Kudos to Colours of Africa Tours and Safaris for a job well done!

Astonishing
Our safari trip to Tanzania was absolutely perfect — an experience we would recommend to any couple looking for a magical getaway. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish: the logistics, the accommodations, and especially the incredible game drives. Kindu the best.

Beautiful, very exciting experience
A beautiful and exciting experience, perfectly organized with a very good guide and driver. Our guide, Jackson, was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent Italian. He made us experience unexpected emotions, always trying to capture the animals in their daily lives. Highly recommended!

EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE
The Safari with Colours of Africa Tours was perfect from the beginning.
I chose this local agency because Jemesina answered me all my doubts and questions in a few minuts. She was always very, very quick and helpful with every question and adapt the safari to us.
Our guide, Norton was the best. The best driver we could have, we felt all time very safe and he has a lot of experience, so he helped us to see the Big 5 and other animals very well.
We loved the experience and Colours Africa Tours helped to it.

An absolutely fantastic safari experience
We had an absolutely fantastic safari experience with Colours Africa Tours & Safaris. The entire itinerary, from the game drives to the accommodation, was exceptionally well-organized and exceeded all expectations.
A special thanks goes to our incredible guide and driver, Douglas. His wealth of knowledge about the wildlife was impressive. Thanks to his expertise, we successfully spotted the Big Five and even had an amazing chase with a cheetah! It was an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended!

Tanzania Safari: An Unexpectedly Wonderful Savannah Journey
My Tanzania Safari experience was exceptionally great, and much of it was thanks to our guide Mustapha. He was warm and thoughtful—he not only offered to help with luggage and adjust the seats in the car but also kindly recommended rest spots with good views, making the whole trip very comfortable.
His driving skills were reliable too. The dirt roads on the savannah are inherently bumpy, yet the ride in his car was always smooth. Even when he accelerated a little to track animals, there was no need to worry at all. Along the way, he also shared many stories about the Maasai people, from the meaning of their traditional clothing to the unique customs in their tribes, which gave us a deeper understanding of the local culture.
The most pleasant surprises came from the two unforgettable scenes he accurately led us to witness. One was the spectacular sight of wildebeests crossing the Mara River—herds of wildebeests wading through the water, creating a stunning view. The other was that he helped us spot all the "Big Five" throughout the trip; every encounter filled us with excitement. This journey became especially fulfilling because of him.
