A journey that touched our hearts – truly unforgettable
Our safari in Tanzania was so much more than a trip – it was a deeply moving experience that fascinated us, touched us emotionally, and will stay with us forever. Even now, we look back on these days with gratitude, awe, and a big smile on our faces.
The 5-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara was absolutely breathtaking. Each park had its own unique character and beauty. Seeing these incredible animals in their natural habitat – free, wild and unfiltered – was something words can hardly describe. Every game drive felt special, every sighting like a gift. It was raw, real and unbelievably beautiful.
But one of the most special parts of this journey has a name: Richard.
Our guide was truly exceptional. His warm personality, great sense of humor and incredibly extensive knowledge about wildlife, nature and Tanzania made this safari extraordinary. You could feel his deep love for his job in every single moment – and that passion was absolutely contagious. We laughed a lot, learned so much and felt completely taken care of the entire time.
When our luggage did not arrive upon arrival, Richard immediately took responsibility for the situation and helped us in the most supportive and caring way imaginable. He stayed calm, reassured us and did everything he could to assist us – far beyond what one could expect. We are incredibly grateful for that.
When our time together came to an end, we were honestly very sad. Saying goodbye to Richard was not easy at all. In such a short time, you really grow close – and that connection, along with these memories, will stay with us forever.
The organization Nkollo Safari Tours also deserves the highest praise. From the very beginning, communication was excellent. Mercy was absolutely outstanding – always reachable, incredibly kind and attentive. She regularly checked in with us, asked how we were doing, if everything was okay, and took care of any concerns we had. You don’t feel like a customer – you feel genuinely cared for.
The accommodations were mostly fantastic.
The first hotel, Njiro Climax, wasn’t entirely to our taste, but that is probably a matter of personal preference.
Eileen’s Trees Inn was wonderful – delicious food, extremely friendly and attentive staff, beautiful and clean rooms, and a lovely property overall.
The overnight stays in the camps inside the national parks were an absolutely unforgettable experience. Both Tukaone Hembe Camp and Safari Haven Migration Camp completely exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, the food was excellent, and sleeping in these unique tents in the middle of nature was simply magical. We never expected to enjoy it this much – it was authentic, peaceful and truly special.
Our final night at Njiro Legacy was also a great experience and a perfect way to end the trip.
The 6th day, including the Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour, and hot springs, was beautiful and very interesting. Looking back, however, we would personally recommend doing this tour at the beginning of the trip. After the intense and unforgettable safari experiences, we almost wished we had added another safari day instead. The hot springs themselves are visually stunning, but the atmosphere there felt a bit uncomfortable at times, as we felt watched and frequently approached. Perhaps we were just unlucky that day – but we wanted to mention it honestly.
The Maasai village visit is something we personally would not book again. While the people were friendly and you do get a small insight into their culture, our group was intentionally separated during the visit, and the sales pressure afterward felt uncomfortable and unauthentic. The aggressive selling and the way money was handled left us with a strange feeling. For us, it is not a must-do if we were to give recommendations.
That being said, none of this takes away from the safari itself.
The safari days were absolutely once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The wildlife, the landscapes, the emotions, the laughter – these memories will stay with us forever.
A heartfelt thank you to Richard, Mercy, and Nkollo Safari Tours for creating a journey that we will carry in our hearts for the rest of our lives. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania: book it – and book it exactly like this.

Everything was perfect and well organized.
The tour began with a welcome from the organizer, Juma. He was so warm and friendly and had planned everything perfectly. Richard, our driver, picked us up, and our safari began. It was a once-in-a-lifetime tour. He gave us so much information and was always up-to-date on where all the animals were. We saw so many animals! It was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend them.

Responsive and helpful with every aspect of the trip not just the climb
We did the 7 day Lemosho route that was offered by Kili Vikings. This proved to be one of the hardest, yet one of the most rewarding things I’ve done thus far. Charlie from Kili Vikings was a great operator, who took care off every aspect of our trip, not just the climb. He was responsive and supportive, and answered all the questions we had. The climb was super well organised, our guides John, Conrad and Prosba were amazing - they took care of us for the whole week and were always careful so that our well-being is safeguarded, they made the climb that much more enjoyable. Apart from the climb, Kili Vikings also arranged us a safari tour, that was very well planned out and executed. Overall working with Charlie and Kili Vikings was a really enjoyable experience.

Unforgettable Big 5 Safari with the best guide, Sadam!
I recently returned from an amazing 4-day trip to Kenya (3 days in Masai Mara and 1 day in Lake Naivasha) booked through Jungle Roam Safaris. The itinerary was perfect, the hotels were great, and we managed to see the Big 5 along with so many other exciting animal sightings.
However, the highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our guide, Sadam. He is the best guide we could have asked for. He made the entire experience seamless and exciting. His knowledge of the parks and his ability to spot animals is incredible. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience.
If you are booking with Jungle Roam Safaris, I highly recommend asking for Sadam. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

They are really good and friendly behaviour.
it was really good experience, but we did not able to say lion and leopard. We have seen rhino, dear giraffe, zebra, monitor, lizard, hippo, and elephants. And some birds, I don’t know the names. My brother Jeel Patel enjoyed a lot.
They offered food and it was really so good. We didn’t expected such delicious food during Safari.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with the Best Guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our trip to the Serengeti was absolutely mind-blowing! From start to finish, it was an adventure we will never forget.
A massive shoutout to our incredible guide, Paul. He truly made the difference. Not only did he know every corner of the park, but he was also always ready to help and go the extra mile. Paul explained everything in great detail—from animal behaviors to the local ecosystem—making the experience both fun and educational.
We managed to check off 4 out of the Big Five, which was thrilling. A huge highlight was seeing 5 rhinos—we felt so lucky since they can be quite elusive!
The only minor disappointment was the timing regarding the Ndutu migration. Since we visited in early December, the herds hadn't arrived in Ndutu yet, so we missed out on that specific spectacle, and there were very few animals compared to other parks. I’d recommend avoiding Ndutu until late December to ensure you’re there at the right time to witness the migration. I emailed a couple of times with concerns about the timing for Ndutu so we might change the itinerary, but they assured me it was going to be ok.
Anyway, Paul's excellence and the amazing wildlife we did see made the trip unforgettable.
