Colours Africa - Amazing, Guide Goodluck - Expert
Being in Canada, I was nervous to book direct with a company in Tanzania but my hesitation was unfounded. Colours put together a custom 13 day tour including an 8 day safari and finish on Zanzibar. I worked with Hatibu Yasini as the coordinator. He was incredibly responsive and worked hard to put together a trip that was exactly what we were looking for. Communication was easy and professional. He put together a comprehensive Quote with photos and itinerary. Once we landed in Tanzania we didn't have to worry about anything including transportation. The accommodation arranged was exactly as expected or better. We wanted a 5 star experience and that is what we received. Who would have known there were incredible hotels in the middle of the Serengeti! Our favourites were Melia Serengeti Lodge and Elephant Springs but all were very good. We did not have to worry about a thing - drivers were polite, clean vehicles and on time. When we had questions during our trip, Hatibu was always there to support and respond day or night. We were celebrating a milestone and Hatibu went above and beyond with a banner on the back of the jeep and celebrations along the way at the hotels.
Our Safari Guide Goodluck was AMAZING! Expert in his field. There wasn't a question he could not answer - he knew everything from animals to plants, animal tracks and more. He saw and found things that we simply would have overlooked. Goodluck was also very kind, polite and professional with an excellent sense of humour which was so important when you spend whole days with someone you have never met. Goodluck worked very hard to make sure we saw and learned everything that was of interest to us. He even managed to find White AND Black Rhinos which are very rare. Goodluck made this once in a lifetime experience incredible. We feel very lucky and blessed to have had him as our guide.

Great adventure and experience!
We had an amazing experience with Go Serengeti African Tours and can highly recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. We booked a 3-day safari (2 nights) as part of our honeymoon, and it became one of the highlights of our trip.
Our tour operator, Namayani, was extremely helpful, professional and easy to communicate with. She assisted us with the booking, recommendations, transportation and all our questions before and during the trip. Communication was always quick and helpful, and she even helped arrange an upgrade of our accommodation when our needs changed during the safari. This made a big difference and helped make our honeymoon even more enjoyable.
Our guide, Julius, was excellent. He was a very experienced and skilled driver who navigated the challenging Serengeti roads in a way that made us feel safe and in good hands. Thanks to his experience, he knew where to go and helped us see exactly what we had hoped for — including the Great Migration and a wide variety of amazing animals in both the northern and central Serengeti. He was also very knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions about the animals and nature.
Overall, we found Go Serengeti African Tours reliable, flexible and genuinely committed to giving us a great experience. We felt well taken care of throughout the safari, and it was a fantastic addition to our honeymoon.
Our advice to other travelers is to research what you want from your safari and communicate your wishes clearly with the tour operator, as well as looking into the different types of accommodation and what to expect.
We are very happy we chose Go Serengeti African Tours, and we can highly recommend Namayani and Julius!
