Excellent Value and Flawless Execution!
Considering the budget package I purchased, this trip was worth every single penny. We opted for a 4-day, 3-night safari with an added hot air balloon ride, and I was thoroughly impressed by how seamlessly everything went according to schedule.
Our driver and guide, Frank, was exceptionally kind, patient, and knowledgeable. His warm demeanor played a huge role in creating an easygoing and friendly group atmosphere throughout the journey.
Equally impressive was our main point of contact, Namayani. She was crucial in keeping everything organized from start to finish. Her quick, informative, and polite responses provided complete peace of mind.
Serengeti Africa Safari delivered on every promise made—and in more than one instance, went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable honeymoon experience
We can not recommend Colours Africa enough for any of your Safari needs. If you’re like me and are trying to compare multiple quotes, just stop and go with Colours Africa, trust me they are the best and are local!
Starting with their sales consultant, Joseph, who patiently worked with us for weeks to ensure our custom needs were met (and exceeded) to ensure our honeymoon would be unforgettable. We would send him multiple questions, accomodations, things we wanted to see and he tireless worked to ensure every requirement was met and organised in the right order so that we got the best experience possible.
Then we met our driver Mustapha, who has to be the kindest, most knowledge and skilled driver in Tanzania! With his roots in Masai, he provided us with amazing insights into daily life of the Masai as an added benefit.
The land cruiser was very comfortable and Mustafa's experience was evident in the way he handled the rocky Tanzanian roads, navigating the potholes and bumps without a worry.
Mustapha has made our time in Tanzania memorable beyond words. He ensured we were able to get up close and personal with the spectacular Big 5, and worked very hard to get us the best views even with all the other vehicles around. He would always communicate with the other guides to ensure we didn’t miss out on the rare sights of the day.
He also sat with us at dinner to share stories and plan in detail the next day (please trust him on the early morning drives, these are paramount if you want the best safari experience).
Please remember that the animals don’t work on your schedule but their own! Put your trust in Mustapha and he will do everything in his power to give you the best safari experience.
If you’re coming for the love of animals, please be prepared for early mornings and long days. This is what Safari is all about, early starts, long drives looking for animals, getting stuck in the mud, getting rained on, maybe a flat tyre but, if you’re willing to accept this then Colours Africa and Mustapha will ensure you leave with full hearts and full camera rolls!
I can highly recommend Mustapha (and Colours Africa) for your next Safari, you definitely won't regret it! They can customise a tour to match your budget and will get you the best rates possible. We upgraded some accomodation options as it was our honeymoon and they got us the best rate possible without any extra fees.
Colours Africa and Mustapha, thank you for the unforgettable memories, the support and your care. We cannot recommend you highly enough (and have already passed on your details to a few friends).

Absolutly Fantastic
We were absolutely delighted with our safari tour from beginning to end! Everything worked perfectly, starting with the pick-up, and the entire organization was flawless. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of our safari.
A very special thank you goes to our guide, Kasaine. He was always in a great mood, incredibly friendly, and always happy to accommodate our wishes and preferences. Thanks to his amazing dedication, trained eye, and experience, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, as well as many other fascinating animals in the wild. He did everything he could to make this safari an unforgettable experience for us.
The vehicle was also perfect, and the entire tour was exceptionally well planned and organized.
We can wholeheartedly recommend this safari and the entire team! Thank you so much for this wonderful experience, the excellent service, and the unforgettable memories. We would definitely do it all over again! 😊

Top operator, so reliable and able to meet all our requests for a good price
Our 8-day safari in Tanzania was an experience we will never forget!
A huge thank you to Daniel for helping us create such a fantastic itinerary. From the very first contact, he was incredibly helpful in tailoring the trip to our wishes. We wanted a combination of spectacular wildlife and adventure, and he absolutely delivered! So much value for money!
Bernard was an outstanding guide who made the entire experience even better. His knowledge, enthusiasm and eye for spotting wildlife were remarkable. Seeing all of the Big Five was a dream come true, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to share these moments with.
What made this safari extra special was the variety of experiences. Besides the incredible game drives, we also hiked Ol Doinyo Lengai, which was an unforgettable adventure and a perfect addition to our itinerary.
The lodges were amazing, the food was great and the hospitality throughout the trip was outstanding. Everything was organised smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every single moment.
We are already looking forward to coming back to Tanzania! If you're looking for a safari that combines incredible wildlife, adventure, great accommodation and excellent service, we couldn't recommend this team more highly.
Thank you, Daniel and Bernard, for an unforgettable adventure!

Fantastic service and very good planning
Lovely experience. Would highly recommend Altezza for both Safari and Kilimanjaro.
Kilimanjaro hike was fantastic with Musa, Mohammed and Robert, as well as camp master Bildard and chef Albert.
Safari with Christian was top class, saw elephants, lions, buffalo, rhinos and many more

Next to all the big 5, in a day, amazing !
It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Thank you for our guide. At first he did not talked a lot or seemed quite welcoming. But when we arrived next to the animals he was the best! Always finding the best spot for pictures.
The only bad thing is that we couldn't be with our friends. They got in an other car so we couldn't do the safari together.
It was an amazing day. We could see all the big 5 in a day ❤️

Well-organised family safari and Zanzibar trip with responsive, flexible and caring service.
We are a family of five from Gotland, Sweden, and we travelled with Serengeti Smile on a 14-day safari and Zanzibar trip. Communication was excellent from the start. Fredrik answered our questions quickly and clearly, including practical matters like travel insurance and our route.
Libe was our safari guide and driver, and he was extremely knowledgeable. He found us the animals and shared a lot about nature and wildlife along the way. We saw the Big Five, which was a dream come true for the whole family, including our teenagers.
The hotels were excellent, and the logistics worked smoothly all the way, from the private car between Arusha and Dar es Salaam to the ferry to Zanzibar, where their partner Iddi met us. We warmly recommend Serengeti Smile to other families.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Our 21 day, 3 country safari exceeded every expectation that I had! It was truly a trip of a lifetime. The itinerary was well planned and allowed us to experience all the different geographies or regions of Southern Africa.
The game drives were amazing. We saw the Big 5 early in our trip! Just when we thought we had seen it all on our last safari we saw over 300 elephants in less than 3 hours! I believe that our success in seeing so many animals was in large part due to our guide Previous! His knowledge and experience were invaluable.
The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and located near or in some cases in the wildlife areas. Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching animals from the lodges was an experience we'll never forget. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety and fresh local ingredients. Trying local game at every meal added to the overall experience.
I highly recommend PEA Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for an African wildlife experience. The memories, photos, and encounters we had will stay with us forever.

Lovely!
We travelled all the way from Canada for our African safari, and it truly was the trip of a lifetime! From beginning to end, everything was so well organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Our guide, Adama, was absolutely incredible! His knowledge of the wildlife and surrounding areas was amazing, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, along with so many other incredible animals! He was also so patient with us taking endless photos and was always happy to help capture amazing pictures of both the wildlife and the two of us together.
One of our favourite memories was a beautiful champagne lunch Adama arranged for us right out in the middle of the African wilderness. It was such a special experience and one of those moments we’ll never forget!
A huge thank you also goes to Liliana, who helped organize our entire trip. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, always available by email and quick to answer any questions we had. She was so sweet and thoughtful, even surprising us with personalized gifts that made everything feel extra special. We especially loved the coffee mugs she gave us! We used them throughout the entire safari, and they were perfect for those chilly early morning game drives.
It’s those thoughtful little touches, along with the incredible wildlife experiences and wonderful people, that made this trip so unforgettable.
We made memories that we’ll cherish forever and couldn’t recommend this company enough. A huge thank you to Adama and Liliana for making our African adventure everything we hoped it would be and more!

Great knowledge and very relaxed
We visited three different parks in 6 days. Loved the whole experience. If possible I would choose parks that are close together and do several safaris rather than combining into one. Each day in the same park can be quite different so staying longer in each location is worth it. Loved our guide and his attention to what we wanted.
