A great 4-day safari
We booked a 4-day, 3-night safari with Nkollo Tours & Safaris covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and had a very positive experience throughout.
Tarangire was particularly impressive, with its beautiful green and hilly landscapes and an incredible number of elephants. We also had the chance to see two magnificent lions. The Serengeti was equally rewarding, with numerous lion sightings, including females with cubs, as well as cheetahs and leopards.
The accommodation was excellent throughout the trip. All the hotels were very clean, in great locations, with friendly staff and excellent breakfasts.
A special mention goes to our guide and driver, Emanuel. He was very pleasant to travel with, and we enjoyed many interesting conversations during the journey. He has a remarkable ability to spot animals, often finding wildlife long before we could see it ourselves, which made the safari even more enjoyable.
The entire trip was well organised from start to finish, and communication with Nkollo Tours & Safaris was smooth and reliable. Overall, it was a memorable safari experience and a great way to explore some of Tanzania's most iconic parks.

100% recommend
We waited six years for this safari trip, so when it came to choosing a tour operator, we wanted to make sure we picked people who would help us have the best experience possible. We wanted people who would respond quickly, offer flexibility in choosing accommodations, and connect with us on a deeper level than just tour operator—just another random client. We wanted someone who was ethical when it came to animals, who could provide us with information about what we were seeing, and with whom we could feel completely at ease—someone we could trust completely for five days, knowing they would do everything possible to ensure we had the best experience. We found all of these things with the team at Nkollo. From the planning stage right through to the moment we returned to Arusha, they took care of absolutely everything. Our only job was to let ourselves be spoiled and experience the magic of being around those wonderful animals.
Allan was very patient with us, providing us with the most superb accommodations, and Vincent was a very knowledgeable guide and someone we enjoyed spending five days with in the same car. There are so many tour operators, and sometimes it’s hard to know from home what they’re really like, but I can say hand on heart that the team at Nkollo are extraordinary.
Thank you, Allan & Vincent!

Great safari experience
Nkollo was a very easy company to work with. They were responsive, easy to communicate with, flexible with the itinerary, and reliable. Emmanuel was our guide and he was absolutely great. He was a good driver, was knowledgeable about the animals and the parks, always on time, and easy to get along with. We highly recommend him as a safari guide.

AMAZING!!
Our safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and our guide Richard was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Seeing wildlife up close in places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely breathtaking.
We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and even a cheetah amen here new born cubs in the wild. Richard was amazing at spotting animals and explaining their behavior, which made the experience even more special.
The lodges and camps were comfortable, the food was great, and waking up to the sounds of nature every morning was unforgettable. The landscapes were stunning, and every day felt like a new adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend it. It’s an incredible way to experience nature and wildlife in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Overall Experience: 10/10
We absolutely loved our safari experience. We saw all the animals we were hoping to see — including the Big Five — and visited every destination exactly as scheduled. Everything ran smoothly and on time.

Driver/Guide: 10/10 – BOOK RICHARD!
Richard was outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating. He kept the vehicle clean and comfortable every day, answered all of our questions, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we appreciated both the wildlife and the landscapes.
At one point, he even predicted animal behavior — which allowed us to witness lionesses chasing and hunting a buffalo and its calf. An unforgettable experience. I would absolutely request Richard again.
⸻
Lodges: 9/10
We stayed at Masailand Coffee Lodge and Farm of Dreams Lodge.
Both lodges were very nice, though the internet connection was quite poor at both locations.
Farm of Dreams felt more like a resort and offered more activities, while Masailand Coffee Lodge was quieter and more relaxing.
It was slightly disappointing to learn after payment that the originally quoted lodge was unavailable, although the team did a good job finding alternatives. It would be helpful to clearly inform clients before payment that lodge availability is not guaranteed.
⸻
Lunch Boxes: 8/10
The safari lunch boxes were fine, but they could be improved by adding fresh salads or more variety. I’m sure if I had made special requests, they would have accommodated them.
⸻
Tented Camp: 10/10
We stayed at Misako Luxury Tented Camp, which truly offers the best of both worlds — nature and comfort.
We were in the middle of the savanna, surrounded by wildlife, while still enjoying resort-level comfort: private bathroom and shower, hot water with great pressure, buffet meals, internet (weak signal), and a bar.
The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. They made a bonfire for us at night and ensured our safety from nearby wildlife.
The only inconvenience was that the bar accepted cash only, and we were not informed beforehand.

Staff at the lodges: 10/10
Staff at the tented camp: 10/10
Everyone was warm, welcoming, and attentive.

Maasai Village Visit: 10/10
We visited a Maasai village — don’t skip this! They are very welcoming and genuinely teach and show you their lifestyle. It was a meaningful cultural experience.
⸻
Animal Sightings: 10/10
The only animal we saw from a distance was the rhino. Every other animal was just feet away from us.
I highly recommend visiting during calving season — it’s absolutely adorable seeing all the baby animals.

Outstanding, unforgettable experience!
The best safari experience ever! We did 4-days (3 nights) Tarangire-Serengeti(Ndutu)—Ngorongoro during calving season in Jan 2026. We saw plenty of various animals, including the whole Big 5. Some of them from few meters distance only, we observed them in their natural environment, even eating hunted victims. Communication with the owner was super easy and fast. Our private guide Jephter Makana was such a warm and positive person, very experienced and he put all possible effort to find animals we wanted to spot. Very welcoming and approachable while we needed help, or flexible while we had to adjust the time schedule. Going for a private tour with this company is absolutely worth it! They will take care of you from the beginning till the end. Airport/hotel transfer (pick up and drop off) was included which was a great bonus. Also our driver Martin who took care of us on the way back from safari to the hotel was super helpful, stopping on the way at the places that we asked. Moreover, accommodatoom at the resort and the campings was outstanding - glamorous, beautiful interiors in the middle of the wild! Perfect, unforgettable safari!

Excellent, organized, and authentic - a wonderful safari experience!
Nkollo Tours organized an excellent and well-priced 5 day/ 4 night safari for our group of 8, including 6 adults and 2 children (ages 10 months and 3 years old). Communication was prompt and clear, and Allan made multiple quotes and changes to fit with our groups interests and needs. Car seats were provided, along with complimentary pre- and post- safari accommodations and airport transfers. Our driver Emmanual was fantastic. Not only was he a skilled and safe driver with multiple years of experience, but he had a kind and welcoming temperament that made us feel like family. He was also a wealth of information on all the animals we saw (including the Big 5) and the cultural and historical questions we had. He was also great with the kids and we never felt rushed, or pressured in anyway. We did do that add on Masaai boma visit, which unfortunately has very clearly been shaped by tourism with heavy pressure to buy souvenirs, so not sure we would do that part again, but outside of that we couldn't have asked for a better safari experience. Highly recommend Nkollo tours, Allan, and Emmanual to provide a personalized and exceptional safari experience and can vouch for their ability to accommodate small children.

Fantastic very well organised from start to ginish
We booked a fly in 1 night safari from Zanzibar to Tanzania- Nyerere National Park . We were picked up from our hotel taken to the airport in Zanzibar checked in and flown to Tanzania whereby we were picked up by our guide David and driver driven straight into the park. What an experience we saw so many animals including Lions elephant Hippo too many to say we had a hot lunch set up by our guides . Out jeep was open and very comfortable even on the bumpy tracks. We spent the night at Nyere tented camp again faultless. The next day we did a boat safari again it was informative comfortable and very well organised after lunch in the afternoon we were taken back to the airstrip and flown back to Zanzibar. Picked up again by our driver Selous and brought back to our hotel. The organisation of it all was done by Alan Jobe 5 stars

This safari tour went beyond my expectations !!!
First of all, I should have made the safari tour reservation a few months in advance. However, I did it in less than two weeks before my holiday. Thank you to Allan who were super responsive although my kids would like to alter the itinerary for the Maasai and the hot air ballon. The reservation went smoothly. The itinerary, route, accomodation, vehicle, food and drink was fantastic. Jephter, our driver, provided very good service. He was knowledgeable and experienced. He could manage to find all the big five. This tour was well worth it.
