Rose always understands exactly how to make the best possible trip / experience for us.
We have Just returned from &beyond sossusvlei in Namibia and Atzaro camp in Botswana. We have had the most amazing experiences at two totally different locations. Both lodges and activities were 5 star and I’d highly recommend. We have travelled extensively in Africa and I’d put this as one of our best trips.
Main memories include, climbing ‘Big Daddy’, cave paintings, petrified dunes , the stars and planets at night with an astrologer and incredible sundowners at Sossusvlei. At Atzaro just about every animal and more that we could have ever hoped to see even porcupines and honey badgers not to mention leopard, a family of lions and wild dogs. I miss the night sounds.
Definitely planning to go back soon.
Thank you Rose (The luxury safari company)

Amazing tour, amazing guides, amazing memories!
From the moment I enquired about the safari Edward responded to every query really quickly. I asked him to tailor our safari to include the parts we wanted and exclude any that we didn't. Nothing was too much trouble for him to arrange.
We were collected from the hotel on the morning of the departure on time and met at the airport and checked into the flight by them.
On arrival at Nyerere we were met by our driver and guide. They explained what would happen and asked which animals we most wanted to see and did everything possible to make that a reality.
Ommy the guide was really knowledgeable and told us lots of facts about all of the animals.
We couldn't have had a better time and really appreciate our experience of a lifetime

Highly Recommend Nkollo Safari
We recently went on an African safari with the Nkollo tour group, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. I worked with Mercy, who organized an itinerary exactly the way I envisioned it. Every question I had was answered quickly and kindly, and I felt supported and comfortable throughout the entire planning process. From the moment we landed, to the final airport drop-off, everything was flawlessly arranged.
Our lodging throughout the trip was also beautiful, welcoming, and perfectly chosen for both comfort and proximity to the parks. Each place we stayed added something special to the experience.
We have to give the biggest shoutout to our game driver, Ringo. He is someone with a deep respect for nature and wildlife, and you can feel his passion in everything he does. Thanks to his years of expertise and his patient, thoughtful approach, we were able to enjoy a truly unique safari experience without ever feeling caught in the crowds of other tours. His understanding of the animals and the land gave us unforgettable moments. Including witnessing an extraordinary sighting of a pride of 19 lions during a hunt. Truly an experience we’ll never forget.
Thank you again to Ringo, Mercy, and the entire Nkollo team for creating such an incredible, seamless, and meaningful adventure for us. We hope to be back again someday!

A dream came true
I just spent five nights at Tremisana Lodge and I must say it was perfect.
The accommodation is simple, functional, and clean. The air conditioning is very useful, as it gets hot quickly.
Located in a lovely, well-maintained garden, the pool is pleasant and the little monkeys are very cute.
The food is excellent from breakfast to dinner. Seated around large tables, it's a great place to share stories of the day's adventures.
The games are perfectly organized and spread throughout the stay. The guides are excellent, friendly, and efficient.
The pick-ups to and from the lodge are also very well organized, even if the drive from Johannesburg is a bit long.
Thank you so much to the whole team for helping me make my dream come true.
I do recommend the 5 days program.

Fabulous, it was such a nice holiday
My dad had always wanted to go on a safari. This year, our family finally made it happen. We were excited and had high expectations. Kevin, our tour guide, not only met them but exceeded them. He fulfilled our every wish and supported us from beginning to end. Because of him, my dad’s dream finally became a reality. Thank you!

Classic Kilimanjaro Day Experience
This day trip is ideal for anyone curious about Mount Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Emmanuel from Safarivista Adventures, picked us up from our hotel right at 6:00 a.m. We drove through Moshi to the national park gate, where our trek began. We were a bit anxious about hiking at higher altitude, but Emmanuel reminded us to go “pole, pole” just nice and slow and to sip water often. Before long, we adjusted comfortably to the elevation.
The hike itself is moderate, and the trails are well maintained. Clean restroom facilities with running water, soap, and toilet paper appeared roughly every 90 minutes, which was a pleasant surprise! We climbed up to the Maundi crater, explored, and then made our way back down. The weather was crystal clear, giving us views of Kenya and the summit of Kilimanjaro from where we stood.
The route is stunning, with glacier-fed streams and waterfalls along the path. Most of the walk is shaded beneath the lush rainforest canopy, and spotting monkeys was a fun bonus. The round-trip trek took us about nine hours, including a lunch break. I also have to mention that Emmanuel kindly carried our backpack the entire time and treated us to a delicious lunch at the picnic tables near Mandara Hut.
Overall, it was an exceptional day hike, and I couldn’t recommend it more!

We left feeling like family.
Yusef is the absolute BEST!! We did the Materuni Waterfall hike and coffee farm tour with him. Halfway through the hike we wanted to change our tour and take our time/enjoy and didn’t want to go to the Hot Springs. He immediately agreed. He was fun, welcoming, knowledgeable, and very well respected. We still keep in touch and have recommended anyone considering Tanzania to reach out to him. We sadly booked our safari before knowing he did them or else we would’ve booked safari with him!

Amazing experience in Tanzania
I had a great 4 day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. Both the accomodations and food were exactly as described and the two different guides we had were very nice and professional to us. We could find tons of different animals and the experience overall was amazing since the first day.

Experience African life
Kenia offers the possiblity to experience African (wild) life in many aspects. The different nature reserves present different landscapes and a variety of wild life. While travelling from one park to the other you get an impression of the culture and Kenian society.
The national museum in Nairobi is a good starting point - you can learn about the people and animals you might encounter during your visit. The climate was nice - in november it was warm and cool, some rain and much sunshine.
The tour guide and staff in the lodges where very helpful and friendly.
