Very caring and organized!
Our safari with Nkollo was absolutely amazing! From the very first message, Mercy (at their office) was attentive, kind, and made sure we had the exact experience we were hoping for. She listened carefully and tailored everything to our needs, which immediately gave us confidence we were in good hands. She messaged us throughout the entire trip, from beginning to end, making sure things were going as we had hoped. I truly felt like we were cared for.
We did a five-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and the Ngorongoro Crater with Jepther, our incredible guide! The landscapes alone would have made the trip unforgettable, but having Jepther with us truly elevated the entire experience. He is extremely experienced and somehow manages to spot animals from what feels like impossible distances (seeing the elephants move their ears without binoculars, while all you see is a bunch of black spots miles away). He did everything in his power to make sure we saw the Big Five and thanks to him, we did! We saw so many animals, especially lions, along with leopards, elephants, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes and more. Going in February was also really special because of the calving season, we saw so many cubs and calves, it was so cute!! Every day felt abundant and joyful and we felt incredibly connected to nature.
We chose to stay in luxury lodges, and they were all excellent. Most were tented lodges, which created a good connection to the nature surrounding us, yet without compromising comfort. The facilities were very comfortable, with hot showers and good beds. It was the perfect balance between adventure and ease.
Jepther was also just a joy to be around! Always cheerful, always smiling, bringing such lovely energy to every single day. Long hours in the car never felt heavy.
I had asked Nkollo if they could arrange a small birthday surprise for my partner during the trip, and they delivered! During dinner at Tukaone Serengeti Camp, the entire lodge staff came out singing happy birthday, with a beautiful cake and a bottle of sparkling wine. Jepther was also singing at the top of his lungs! haha. It was such a thoughtful moment and one he will remember for years.
Everything was really well organized. We never had to worry about a single detail. Nkollo arranged all our lodges, the safari logistics, and even a balloon safari, which was one of the highlights of the trip. Even the lunches were wonderful, hot meals prepared by the lodges rather than cold lunch boxes, which made a big difference.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I would wholeheartedly recommend Nkollo to anyone looking for a seamless, worry-free safari. We felt really well cared for and would love to come back one day and do it all again!

Highly recommended! Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional tour operator.
Thank you for an incredible trip Nkollo Tours! We can’t recommend enough.
The accomodation organised was perfect - we particularly enjoyed the remote Moyo Tented Camp (Central Serengeti).
Thank you to Mercy who was very helpful and communicative in the booking process and throughout our trip. It made it very easy for us!
A huge thank you to Dereck (our guide) who made our trip! Thank you for everything - you are incredibly kind, patient and knowledgeable and we can’t thank you enough! We saw every animal imaginable (including a chameleon!) A truly special trip that we will remember forever.
Thank you!

Safari of a lifetime with a highly skilled guide, very comfortable car, warm lunches & beautiful acc
We had the most amazing safari with Nkollo Tours! We saw the big 5 and many more animals. It was all we hoped for and more.
We also saw 3 leopards in 3 different parks! We were very lucky.
The accommodations were great, especially the tented camps in the Serengeti where we could spot herds of elephants from our tent and during breakfast and the bush dinner and breakfast we had at another lodge.
Our guide Richard is a highly skilled guide. He has a great eye for spotting animals (like spotting a leopard in the bushes next to the road while he was driving), has a lot of knowledge about the animals and their behaviour, is an excellent driver, tailors the game drives to your preferences (and took different routes than most drivers so we were not bunched up with other vehicles) and on top of that he is very friendly.
During the game drives we had warm lunches and once we just ate in the Serengeti with views of a herd of elephants.
The car was very comfortable (as much as it can be on bumpy roads in the parks).
We stayed 2 nights in the Serengeti which I definitely recommend. Also, Ngorongoro crater is stunning. We also did the crater rim walk there which was great too. Tarangire NP is good for spotting elephants and Lake Manyara has a different vegetation.
Furthermore, when booking the safari Mercy was a great help. She gave us a personalised quote, offered different options for the route and the accommodations and was always very quick to respond.
This was really a safari of a lifetime and I recommend Nkollo Tours a 1000%!

An amazing wild experience
We arrived at Arusha’s Airport and our fantastic guide, named Ringo, picked us up to start our adventure.
We saw Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro NP, Serengeti NP and Tarangire NP. The parks were absolutely fantastic, in particular Serengeti and Ngorongoro where Ringo skillfully managed to find all the “big 5”, as well as many more species.
The accommodations were beautiful, in particular Moyo Tended Camp, immersed in wild nature.
Our guide Ringo was so kind and very careful to make us feel comfortable and happy during our journey.
Thanks a lot! Matteo & Rebecca

Amazing TZ safari experience!!!!
Let me start but saying NKOLLO TOURS IS TRULY AMAZING! I had booked a safari tour with a different company via my travel agent in the UK. When we arrived in Zanzibar, i wanted to check this company were coming for us and to my horror they let us down with a days notice!! We were so disappointed so I searched the internet and found Nkollo, read the reviews and reached out. Straight away, Allan (the owner of Nkollo) messaged me back and was very friendly and reassuring. He listened to what i wanted and advised on a better option than the one pre-booked from the UK. His advice was impeccable and his communication second to none. He managed to arrange it for us in 48 hours with a collection from our hotel in Zanzibar to the airport and then to Arusha - ALL SEAMLESS. We were met my our guide for the 2 days, Ringo. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Ringo was informative, catered to our needs and was keen to make our experience memorable. We visited Tarangire national park on day 1 and Ngorogoro crater on the 2nd day. By day 2, we still hadn't seen lions so Ringo was determined to find them...we found them straight! All in, we saw lion, lionesses, cubs, hyenas, elephants, zebra, wildebeests, impala, gazelle, hippo, flamingo, buffalo. We had a luxury lodge for the night between. Lunch was picnic style, all locally prepared, proper cutlery.....this trip was so memorable and literally a bucket list experience. Please use Nkollo tours, a local company with amazing guides, local knowledge, best experience ever!!

Unforgettable experience
We had an unforgettable four-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro with Nkollo Tours! Before the trip, we couldn’t have imagined how many animals and amazing places we would get to see.
Our guide, Ringo, took really good care of us throughout the journey. We always felt safe and he took an extra step to make us confortable and happy. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five—and so many other animals—often from very close!
Thank you, Nkollo Tours and Ringo, for an unforgettable safari adventure. We’ll definitely recommend Nkollo Tours to all our friends! 😊

Couldn’t of wished for a more perfect holiday
Cannot put into word how magnificent this week had been and that’s all down to Ringo our tour guide.
He went above and beyond to ensure our stay in Tanzania was amazing.
His knowledge of the area and animals was astounding and exceeded every single expectation.
He was extremely attentive to our needs and nothing was too much trouble.
We managed to see the big 5 which was very impressive.
Ringo asked daily what we hoped to see on our tours, he full filled everyone of our requests, however fully appreciate that isn’t always possible with nature.
Would I choose Nkollo Tours again, most definitely 100%.

Nkollo is the gold standard! Ringo was expert & helped us see the Big 5. Incredible honeymoon 10/10!
Our honeymoon with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was absolutely incredible and exceeded every single expectation we had. From start to finish, the trip was seamless and unforgettable.
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our guide, Ringo. His knowledge of the wildlife and the ecosystem was astounding. He went above and beyond every single day to ensure we had the best possible experience, and thanks to his expert tracking and dedication, we were able to see the entire Big 5!
The accommodations were another standout—every lodge we stayed at was stunning and provided the perfect blend of luxury and nature. We are already planning our next safari and can’t wait to bring our parents along. We wouldn’t dream of booking with anyone else but Nkollo Tours & Safaris!
