Was superb, I enjoyed my stay there
We sent requests to several operators and ended up with Nkollo Tours since Allan tailored it to what we requested. We arrived at the airport and we were picked up by our driver to the hotel in Arusha. After our arrival, we got a comprehensive briefing about what to expect during the safari. James was our guide for the 4 days and was very informative and fun to be with. He tried to make our experience unforgettable and amazing. The accommodations met our expectations and the whole trip went beyond what we expected. We luckily managed to see the big 5 animals from the parks we visited. For the 4 days, we saw so many animals, birds, plants, and insects. We had our phones and cameras fully charged since the safari jeep had charging ports and even binoculars to observe animals from a distance. The lodges had delicious meals with varieties. We visited a Masai Village which was so fascinating. The next day after our safari, Allan organized a day tour to Kilimanjaro before our evening flight. Benson was our guide, he was knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. The 40 minutes hike to Materuni Waterfall was beautiful. After the hike, went to the local village for coffee making. The coffee and local food lunch was also served at the village which was also good. Next, we went to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, a relaxing way to finish the day. I truly recommend Nkollo Tours to anyone traveling in Tanzania. Asante sana.

Exceptional level of detail and amazing experience
From the start, Lucy provided detail and responded very quickly. Her professionalism was exception and she met all my requirements without delay.
My guide, Moses was super friendly and knowledgeable, even about bless. He drove safely and made sure we were also happy and confortable.
I stayed d at Jambo Mara in the glass rooms. The rooms exceeded expectations, the pool was a welcome cool down in the afternoons, the food was delicious (thanks Chef Nelson and team) and the staff very friendly!
Make sure you have cash for buying curios and the visit to the Masai village. The hotels and curio shops accept cards.
Really fantastic service and definitely won't hesitate to join Lucy and get team again!

Amazing Safari company which brought us the most amazing Safari experience ever
We had a 10-Days Safari & Zanzibar tour with Gosheni. Cindy was super nice and patient and always readly to help. Our guide William is the best guide ever!!! He is so friendly and experienced and he brought us to see all these animals that are only seen in the documentaries before. The journy wouldn't be such a joy if it weren't for him. We really enjoied every moment of the entire tour and I would recommend Gesheni, Cindy and William to anyone who came to Tazania without any hesitation!

Phenomenal experience from start to finish!
Jason was our tour guide in Lake Nakuru and in the Masai-Mara region. He was a pleasure to work with always and was very accommodating to our preferences (morning or evening safari trips etc). He was also very knowledgable of the areas and the wildlife, as he definitely knew the good spots! Couldn’t recommend Jason enough!

Lovely staff, great service and amazing scenery!
We booked the tour via Safaribookings with the Touroperator Honcho Dmc. We choose the 3-Day Coup D'œil of Selous Fly-in & Out from Zanzibar package with the Selous Kinga Lodge as our stay. Everything went smoothly and was well arranged. All of the drivers were on time and knew where we needed to go. There wasn't a time when we had to wait or wonder what was going to happen.
We had an amazing Safari and saw a lot of animals, unfortunately, we didn't see any lions or leopards, but this was already mentioned by our guide when we arrived as the vegetation had grown and it would be harder to find lions this way. Nevertheless, we had an amazing day. After a long day, we arrived at the Selous Kinga Lodge. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and were given cold wet towels to clean our faces, amazing! This was the beginning of an amazing stay.
The food we received was very good and fresh. We weren’t given a menu, so we didn’t know what we would receive, but we were pleasantly surprised every day. You can however mention your dietary restrictions and they will adhere to this.
The service we received was also very good and authentic. Everybody was so nice and helpful and we really enjoyed this the most. The swimming pool was also very clean and well-kept. The sunbeds had very nice thick cushions which felt luxurious. The man who cleaned the pool came many times to clean, which we appreciated. We also had an escort at night who would guide us to the place we needed to go to on the resort. Really nice touch!
Furthermore, the house/cabin we were staying in, was also very clean and well-kept. We were very happy with this room and also with the housekeeping service. The room was made sleep ready each night, we aren’t used to this, so very nice touch. The only thing that I can point out is that the water pressure was low, so the shower didn’t give a large amount of water however, we could shower with it and had nice warm water!
The lodge has WIFI, however when we visited the WIFI wasn’t working however, Daniel was so nice to provide us with his private mobile bundle so we could send some messages! Thank you for that!
For the monkey lovers, there are many different monkey species living in the trees at this lodge! You can see them close and make nice pictures of them.
All in all, I want to thank the staff of the Selous Kinga Lodge for providing us with an amazing stay! Thank you so much! We highly recommend others to come stay at this lodge as well.
Holiday and travel experts. Professional execution of tailored tours. I would recommend any person
superb service. Attention to details and going beyond in delivering memorable experiences

Unequivocally Unequalled
Lauren, had every detail ironed out before we ever stepped on the plane from Dallas, TX via London to Johannesburg, South Africa. And for our 12 days of traveling between three African countries that same thoughtfully planned itinerary by her continued.
We felt safe, cared for, and our communications with her were prompt and immediate. Lauren answered questions about tipping and anything else we thought of asking her.
The tour details and lodging were beautiful. The cleanest places I’ve ever stayed in -anywhere in the world. Africa beat them all- hands down.
The safari guides, trackers, lodge hosts, touched our hearts and wrapped around our souls. They all, each & everyone, went above & beyond in their service to us. What an incredible experience!!
It will be very difficult to take another trip without Lauren of Ker & Downey organizing it for us.
Tremendous value for the money.
Anne ( & daughter Laura)
