Very caring and organized!
Our safari with Nkollo was absolutely amazing! From the very first message, Mercy (at their office) was attentive, kind, and made sure we had the exact experience we were hoping for. She listened carefully and tailored everything to our needs, which immediately gave us confidence we were in good hands. She messaged us throughout the entire trip, from beginning to end, making sure things were going as we had hoped. I truly felt like we were cared for.
We did a five-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and the Ngorongoro Crater with Jepther, our incredible guide! The landscapes alone would have made the trip unforgettable, but having Jepther with us truly elevated the entire experience. He is extremely experienced and somehow manages to spot animals from what feels like impossible distances (seeing the elephants move their ears without binoculars, while all you see is a bunch of black spots miles away). He did everything in his power to make sure we saw the Big Five and thanks to him, we did! We saw so many animals, especially lions, along with leopards, elephants, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes and more. Going in February was also really special because of the calving season, we saw so many cubs and calves, it was so cute!! Every day felt abundant and joyful and we felt incredibly connected to nature.
We chose to stay in luxury lodges, and they were all excellent. Most were tented lodges, which created a good connection to the nature surrounding us, yet without compromising comfort. The facilities were very comfortable, with hot showers and good beds. It was the perfect balance between adventure and ease.
Jepther was also just a joy to be around! Always cheerful, always smiling, bringing such lovely energy to every single day. Long hours in the car never felt heavy.
I had asked Nkollo if they could arrange a small birthday surprise for my partner during the trip, and they delivered! During dinner at Tukaone Serengeti Camp, the entire lodge staff came out singing happy birthday, with a beautiful cake and a bottle of sparkling wine. Jepther was also singing at the top of his lungs! haha. It was such a thoughtful moment and one he will remember for years.
Everything was really well organized. We never had to worry about a single detail. Nkollo arranged all our lodges, the safari logistics, and even a balloon safari, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Even the lunches were wonderful, hot meals prepared by the lodges rather than cold lunch boxes, which made a big difference.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nkollo to anyone looking for a seamless, worry-free safari. We felt really well cared for and would love to come back one day and do it all again!

Perfectly organised safari tour, amazing adventure and great guide
Travelled with family of 6 for 4 days in Tanzania (Tarangire, Serengeti/Ndutu , Ngorongoro), starting and ending in Arusha. Together with Mercy of Nkollo tours the safari was planned in detail with all possible personal wishes included. No hidden costs and clear schedule. Our tourguide and driver Mr Ringo picked us up from Arusha Airport and gave a personal introduction about his ambitions and goals of the tour. We got to learn Ringo as a very reliable, predictable, knowledgeable, compassionate and bad-ass tour guide. He really led the tour in a positive way and always was in control of the sometimes exciting situation. He knows and explaines a lot about wildlife, culture and the parks. He arranges everything and informs you about that and is very punctual. All possibilities for adapting and personilising the plan to make sure you get the best experience!

An experience of a lifetime in the Pearl of Africa
We spent the first week of February traveling around Uganda with each day bringing countless new sceneries and experiences. Our trip was excellently organized allowing us to cover a lot of ground over a period of 8 days, without having to skip a single meal. Every day, the breakfast, lunch and dinner were a pleasant experience with great food in between the beautiful sights. The staff in all the places we stayed at were very helpful and warm and the quality of the accommodations was excellent. We particularly enjoyed how they combined designs that blended with nature while having every facility you need.
I celebrated my 30th birthday while at Murchison Falls with a surprise birthday cake and singing that warmed my heart! Leaving my 20s was hard but entering the new decade in this setting is something I will never forget!
On top of everything, the communication with Wild Uganda worked seamlessly and they created an amazing plan for us that accommodated both wildlife experiences as well as personal requests. My boyfriend, Ricardo, lived in Uganda as a child and he wanted to visit some personal spots including his old school in Kampala and we were glad that it was possible to do this on top of all the other destinations and plans we had. Even our last day was filled with adventure with a boat excursion in search of the shoebill. All this, without feeling stressed or rushed at any moment.
One of the highlights in our tour was the Chimpanzee trekking with very competent guides and rangers that allowed us to see Chimpanzees both in the trees and on the ground. The guide also explained and educated us about the chimpanzees while we observed them. The rangers were very attentive and frequently alerted us where not to stand so that a fruit won΄t fall on your head as well as pointing out good photography opportunities. Being able to observe our closest relative was something very moving that I feel very fortunate to have experienced.
We are especially thankful to our guide Linus who was always on top of things when coordinating with the lodges and all the different parties involved. He gave us the feeling that we never had anything to worry about, any issue that arose during our travels was quickly solved.
His skills allowed us to see and identify many animals, especially at Murchison Falls, where our encounter with a leopard was spectacular. He was also a great font of knowledge and we learnt through him about Uganda’s culture, society, history, traditions and more. Most impressively, he could identify more birds than we knew what to do with. Ricardo made an incomplete list with many of the birds Linus pointed out.
All in all we want to thank Wild Uganda and Linus for making our trip an unforgettable experience! We are looking forward to be back to Uganda for more! Totally recommend Wild Uganda and Linus if you want to experience all the gems in the Pearl of Africa and beyond!

Unforgettable 10 Day Safari in Uganda with Lulu Safari
Excellent organization, an outstanding guide, and a safe, unforgettable experience from start to finish.
I had an incredible 10-day safari in Uganda with Lulu Safari. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly coordinated. They answered all my questions promptly (we mainly communicated via WhatsApp), and the entire trip was very well organized.
My guide, Marc, truly made the experience exceptional. He went above and beyond to help me see as many animals as possible and ensured I had the best possible experience every day. He was not only a great guide and driver (very important considering how the drive in Uganda) , but also a wonderful travel companion.
The accommodations and activities were excellent, and I always felt safe, which was especially important since I was traveling alone.
I gave the agency and the trip 15 out of 10 points. It exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend them without hesitation.

We do not recommend choosing this tour company.
I was involved in a serious traffic accident during a safari tour in Tanzania. I am sharing my experience so others can make informed decisions.
On February 15, 2026, the third day of our safari, we departed from Ndutu Bush Camp before 8:00 a.m. to visit the Ngorongoro Crater. Around 10:10 a.m., while driving on a muddy road in a Land Cruiser, the driver was traveling at excessive speed. He nearly collided with wildlife, failed to safely navigate a curve, and the vehicle overturned, sustaining severe damage.
I struck my head and left shoulder and was unable to move immediately after the crash. The driver did not assist passengers and instead exited the vehicle to inspect the damage, later stating that brake failure caused the accident.
With help from others, I was transported to a nearby clinic and then to Mount Meru Hospital in Arusha. The journey took over three hours and was delayed further by two engine breakdowns. At the hospital, only a head CT scan was performed. No examination of my shoulder or neck was conducted, and no medication was provided.
As a result of the accident, all safari activities scheduled for that day were cancelled. I requested a refund for the unused portion of the tour, but this was refused. After further discussion, the company offered only USD 100 per person, plus USD 150 for clothing lost in the wrecked vehicle, despite the total three-day tour costing USD 1,429.
I am still experiencing persistent pain, including limited movement of my left shoulder and difficulty opening my mouth.
Based on this experience, I have serious concerns regarding:
1. Driver safety standards
2. Vehicle maintenance
3. Post-accident customer care and refund policies
I strongly advise travelers to carefully consider these factors before booking.

It's a wonderful tour.
It's a wonderful tour. Our driver/guide Dickson is very professional and knowledgeable. He tried very hard to find animals for us. We saw so many animals every day with exceeds our expectation. We'll definitely recommend this program to our friends.
