It was a wonderful adventure, highly recommended
We were a group of 4 friends,our 5 days tour to Serengeti,ngorongoro &manyara was in March 2019. We were recommended by a couple who came for honeymoon in Tanzania,they linked us with this company,the email address and the website. I emailed them about the itineraries,pricing and some other related information,surprisingly they replied within an hour. The operator (Allan) was so professional and kind. He also gave us his whatsapp where we could chat and ask more questions about payments terms,we got many options to pay through but at that time the best of us was western union&bank transfers. Our tour was perfect starting from the accommodation,transport and meals. We appreciate the team,they went extra just to satisfy us. Thank you Nkollotours&safaris for giving us an amazing experience in Tanzania.we hope to see you soon again. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Tanzania.

awesome, amazing, breathtaking, life changing experiences each and every day of the 2 month trip!!!
Everything about this trip was first class and top notch. Chris and Jen were excellent, and answered each and every question promptly. We are so grateful to have worked with such professional consultants. Every detail was taken care of, all accommodations were first class, all guides and drivers were where they were supposed to be, at the correct time. Guides were pleasant, knowledgeable, and took excellent care of us. We will go back to Africa, and will definitely book with Safari Partners again.

amazing tour of Zimbabwe
From the beginning Blessing provided excellent communication and helped us plan a great trip. We wanted to do one of their tours backwards and change the itinerary a bit and he arranged everything. The accommodations they booked us in were all of a good standard and food was good too. We especially liked seeing the elephant wander through the parking lot of the Hwange Safari Lodge after dinner. Our favorite activities were walking over Mutarazi falls on a suspension bridge, touring the Great Zimbabwe, tracking rhinos and visiting a prehistoric cave with Ian (basically the Zimbabwean crocodile hunter! He was so fun to spend the day with and we got really close to rhinos!), seeing Victoria Falls especially from the Devil's Pool, and finishing the trip with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi river. So many great memories! I would recommend Africa Zim to anyone!

Great place for close ecounters with wildlife
We had a 8 days trip to Madagascar in November 2019. We spend the time on east cost of the island - Andasibe & Palmarium Reserve. The wildlife was very good - lemurs are close and provide excelent opportunites for photography. Birds in Andasibe were good and approachable, a bit worse in Palmarium (very few visible). We used Assiten Travel and the service was excelent - very good accomodations, great driver, food and transportation.
Mine key target was to photograph lemurs and I am very happy with the results :).

No problem at all, every part of the trip is good.
My wife Fei and I went to Tanzania at end of August till Mid of September.
First, We Climbed the Kilimanjaro mountain using Lemosho Route 8 days. The weather on these days are good, no rain at all. We live in the tents and has our own private toilet. we can see the monkey in Low attitute area.Both Romly and Dennis are very Professional. The porters, the waiter and cook are all nice and helpful. I will suggest to other people climbing the mountain with Romly and Dennis team. I carry nothing during the summit day, two guides carried every part of my equipment and water ect. without them it will be nealy imposibble to get to the Uhuru Peak. The suggested tip is around 300 till 400USD per trip. I thought it is really small amount for 13 people team to share, I decide to tip them more for hard working. The Summit day is really hard, We left around 11:30PM and made to the top Uhuru Peak around 6:45AM.
Second, the safari. Jerry is profesional guide. Savannah explorer arrange everything really well. The Hotel we live is really good. The weather in September is dry season, no rain at all. We saw the Lions, Leopard, Servals,hippos. we live in Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha, quite nice hotel to live. We live in Maramboi Tented camp, nice hotel and the View at Swimming pool area at sunset area is really really nice. For the middle Serengeti, We live in Four season Hotel. it is a must stay hotel for us. The elephant came every day to drink water at swimming pool area is a life time memory. For the northern Serengeti, We live Kenzeni Luxury Camp. The staff there is good and helpful. The wildbreast crossing the Mara river in Northern Serengeti is also a life time memory for us. We also live two nignts at the Retreat at Ngorongoro. it is a nice hotel with beautiful Garden.
Overall, Savannah Explorer arrange the trip really well. I contacted 3 companies via safaribooking. The other two companies are good, but Albert in Savannah Explorer is better. He reply the email quick and I can get every informaion I need from his reply. The Jeep in Safari is nice, and Jerry clean the Jeep everyday.

Amazing Safari and Kili climb!
From the moment we contacted Amani Afrika they were fantastic! Vivian helped us plan our dream trip to Africa and every detail was covered! We started with gorilla trekking in Uganda where we stayed at a great lodge in the Impenetrable Forest. The gorilla experience itself was absolutely breathtaking. We then flew to Tanzania where we started by climbing Kilimanjaro. Our guide Paul was quite simply the best and we could not have done it without him and his excellent team. Paul has been climbing kili for 13 years and took time to explain Amani treats their porters well including providing them with 3 meals a day. We were shocked to find out that some tour companies only provide their porters with one meal a day, so the porters carry a loaf of bread with them for their other 2 meals! For that fact alone we were happy we went with Amani. We were also shocked at how well they fed us the entire climb! We've never eaten so well on a camping trip before. Summit night freezing weather rolled in but we all still made it to Uhuru Peak thanks to our great guides! After our successful climb we went on safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro and it was nothing short of amazing. We saw the biggest variety of animals, the highest number of animals, and got the closest to animals by far compared to any other safari we did in Africa. (We visited Zimbabwe and South Africa after Tanzania and we all agreed this was our favorite!) Our guide Wilson was knowledgeable and fun and the lodging they booked for us was all beautiful, especially the tent camp in the Serengeti! I would 100% recommend Amani Afrika to anyone planning a safari or kili climb!

Amazing Masai Mara weekend
Our weekend Safari in Masai Mara was the best weekend of our lives. Chris helped shape it to our needs and flying there was the best use of our short time available. Paul met us off the plane and gave us the most incredible two days of game drives. We often found animals before anybody else and couldn’t believe how close the got to us in the van. We could have reached out and stroked a Lion twice and had a Leopard sleep under the van! Thanks so much to Paul and Chris. We would 100% use them next time.
