Memorable luxury trip with Kilimanjaro hike
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Serengeti Wildlife Safaris! Our 7-day luxury safari was truly unforgettable, with incredible wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and exceptional service throughout the entire journey.
Our safari guide was amazing unknowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always made sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to his expertise, we enjoyed some truly special wildlife encounters and created memories that we will cherish forever.
We also had the opportunity to experience a day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro, and it was absolutely fantastic! The scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience was well organized and enjoyable.
A special thank you to John, who was simply the best! His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made our trip even more memorable.
We highly recommend Serengeti Wildlife Safaris to anyone looking for an unforgettable Tanzania safari and Kilimanjaro experience. From the luxury safari to the mountain adventure, everything was exceptional from start to finish.
Thank you, Serengeti Wildlife Safaris and John, for an incredible journey! We would definitely choose you again.

12/10 experience
We had an awesome Safari with our highly knowledgeable and friendly tour guide Humphrey. He made the journey easy and was able to answer all of our questions about the animals as well as providing some great humour.
We got to see all of the animals as well which was a once in a lifetime experience.

Helpful and professional advice, bookings, communications and driving
We had a wonderful time with our driver James who was a brilliant spotter and was excellent at positioning the Land Cruiser so that we were in an optimum position for photography. We loved his enthusiasm for his job which shone through. Always punctual and willing to adapt to us. Never a dull moment. Took up the challenge to find wildlife we wanted to see and always delivered. Very good knowledge of wildlife.
The planning was well managed by Brenda in the office and she followed up regularly. Good customer care culture in the company obviously.
We thought some aspects of outsourced services were highly priced such as the externally run night drive, the balloon and the charge for booking internal flights. Not a comment on Splendid but worth knowing if you are thinking of doing these. Be aware you will rarely get 8 hours sleep because of the early starts!

Better than everyone
Our guide made our Masai Mara safari unforgettable. He spotted all of the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) in a single day, which is rare even for seasoned visitors. His sharp eyes, deep knowledge of animal behavior and patience meant we were always in the right place at the right moment, and he never rushed us when we wanted photos.
He was also friendly, funny and safety-conscious, and he made us feel completely comfortable the whole time. I'd recommend him to anyone wanting a first-class safari experience. Thank you for the memories!

Nkollo made our first trip to Africa and Tanzania life-changing!
When we started planning our Tanzania trip, we were stressed about which safaris and lodges to book and how to find trustworthy lodges and guides. On Safaribookings, I came across Nkollo and several other tour operators, all of whom sent free quotes promptly. But the responsiveness and supportive attitude of Annie Wallace from Nkollo stood out. She accommodated every customization we asked for and planned the trip perfectly.
Annie also helped with things that were never part of our booking: airport transfers, celebrations at the lodges we stayed at, free upgrades to luxury lodges, and more.
We also want to thank our friendly and amazing guide, Said. He was accommodating and deeply knowledgeable about all the parks and sighting areas. He didn't just help us spot wildlife; he helped us understand the parks and the behavioral patterns of the animals. That turned our safari into an immersive experience of observing wildlife rather than simply sighting animals. Before every game drive, Said would tell us, "Let the nature surprise us!" And surprise us it did, thanks to Nkollo.
Said and Annie went above and beyond to give us a beautiful, memorable first experience of Africa and Tanzania. Nkollo believes in prompt and honest communication and stellar service, at a price that was better than any other operator I spoke with.
I would also like to acknowledge the man behind this amazing organization, Alan, who is building a travel company focused on quality Tanzanian experiences at great value for money. Keep up the good work! We hope to experience Tanzania with Nkollo again the next time we visit this beautiful country.
We strongly recommend Nkollo to any first-time traveller to Tanzania.
PS: Our guide told us Nkollo means "Soul" in the founder's local language. That is exactly what every interaction with the Nkollo team felt like: soulful, warm people genuinely trying to give you a great experience in Tanzania.
Book with Kihindo and you will not regret it!
Kihindo Tours was very responsive and responsive from start to finish. Great communication and an enjoyable experience. I recommend!

Professional and kind people with expertise to organize an amazing experience
I would describe our safari like an actual magical experience, from beginning to end. Even before day one everything went really smoothly; Susan was always available to answer all the doubts we had, and our driver and guide Kim was really patient and helpful taking us from Nairobi to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and explaining us a lot about the animals we got to spot.
The accommodation in each park was very comfortable, with a good amount of food to choose in the buffet for breakfast and dinner, and the staff was always super friendly.
Weather was really good and it that really helped us to being able to spot so many animals, including the big five.
Excellent choice to do the safari in this time of the year and with this tour operator!

Well-organized and safe Mount Meru trekking
We are a couple from Switzerland and did a 4-day Mount Meru tour with Serengeti Smile in early October. Everything went smoothly and was well organized, and we felt safe at all times. The whole team was very friendly and helpful. Communication could have been a bit more proactive, as we sometimes had to ask for information. Overall, a great experience. Thank you!
