Amazing experience thanks to an amazing tour operator and its amazing staff - I have been places in my life, but the trip to Tansania and everything I happened to experience during my stay will stay forever in my heart and memories as one of the best "escapes" of all times. And none of this would be the case if not for Nkollo Tours & Safaris taking the best possible care of me and my friend Melanie. The whole package was just brilliant and worth every penny! Allan is a very fast, thorough and friendly communicator and organiser. Before our trip we had a million questions, doubts and wishes, but Allan really did answer EVERY EACH of them in a very timely manner. Always super friedly, always engaged, very precise - many Germans could learn from him of what great service means ;) All our wishes were taken for granted and fulfilled instantly. Benson - our guide to Materuni, Kikuletwa and Arusha - picked us up at the airport and we got on to the same wave just like a second later. Easy-going, caring, intelligent - a real sweetheart having an answer to each stupid question of ours. It wasn't even midday that we decided to invite him out for a dinner on our last night in Arusha - that is how much we enjoyed his company. The next day we were picked up by the best Safari guide of all times - Malisa! One sees straight away that he loves his job, and his knowledge about ALL animals you meet on your way (starting from a little colourful bird, ending with a rhino and elephant) is definitely broader than that of whole Google. I promise! We had such a lovely and splendid time during our 4 days of Safari, you can't even imagine! We were taken a great care of, the food was delicious and there were always enough drinks in the fridge. Malisa "had the right nose" for where to go in order to see a bunch a lions, a herd of elephants, a sleeping leopard or a feeding cheetah. We learned so much from Malisa and got to hear the most amazing stories. We invited also him to the dinner at our last night in Arusha. Also the back-up crew (cook Simba with his asisstants) were good fun and very devoted to what they are doing. We had some great talks, extra dessert and African dancing in the kitchen. To be honest - you plan your (budget) trip to Africa and never expect EVERYTHING to go smoothly, right? You have your bias, you have your fears and doubts. But among these guys I felt at home and in peace, all doubts gone in less than 60 seconds after the arrival. My vacation was once of the best things I have done in my life and I am so very grateful to Nkollo Team for making it happen exactly the way it was! Allan, Benson, Malisa - you are my brothers from another mother ;) and I feel honored to have met you in my life. ASANTE SANA rafiki yangu <3

Great experience and great customer support - To plan this trip we went through some quotes before from companies we found on trip advisor and Nkollo Tours was definitely what seemed the best quality price wise. I mean when you choose a budget camping the experience I think will be about the same with everyone so what matters is the budget and the customer service and Allan did a great job with it. He was always answering all our concerns very quickly and finding us solutions where we had problems. Definitely his support throughout the trip was worth 5 stars. For what concerns the Safari: it was a great experience, the driver/guide was very professional and skilled (he’s been doing it for 7 years) and made us feel very safe even sleeping in tents in the middle of the park with no fences. The cook was very young and just came out of cooking training but he was also very skilled and made us a lot of different meals, never ate the same thing twice. In conclusion I’d definitely recommend it. Everyone was accommodating and professional.

Was amazing and we looking forward for our next visit - 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.

Outstanding experience! - From the very first correspondence, we knew we were with the right company! We were so pleasantly surprised at the consistent, professional and friendly communications prior to our arrival, and from the moment we were greeted at the airport, our expectations were all exceeded. For the next several days we were treated to a local's view of all the best places to see, dine and experience, and it was like we were spending time with an old friend! We could have never found all interesting and delightful places on our own. Allan the owner of Nkollo tours went above and beyond everyday to make sure our time in Arusha was truly exceptional! We highly recommend Nkollo tours!

Vacation of a life time - We did a 3 days group safari with nkollo tours. Our guide, John, was amazing and made our experience! John was incredibly friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable -- his enthusiasm for the animals was contagious. He was familiar with spots where we could expect to see certain animals, and was also in contact with other guides whenever there was an especially exciting sighting. He was also very generous in sharing his thoughts and experiences with us. We're so grateful to have had him as a guide! We were very happy with our camping and even the staffs are welcoming. We had our meals in the parks. The meals were well prepared and delicious,accompanied with local wines and cold beers from our chef.

3 days safari to Ngorongoro and Serengeti - My friend and I had unforgettable 3 days join group safari experience, and it was phenomenal! We were able to get extremely close to wild animals,close enough to pet giraffes and lions on multiple occasions. We are able to see all Big 5 animals, including the black rhinos in the crater. Our guide John was able to meet all of our goals and was patient with us as we tried to get the perfect photos. Our vehicle was very comfortable, and with charging ports. This was our first Tanzania safari and I had the best experience ever with an excellent service from nkollo tours.

Wonderful experience - My parents and I had a wonderful time at the national parks. I have been saving for sometime so that I could spend quality time with my parents, and I felt a tour to the parks could be something we could all enjoy. I asked around for a well reputable tour company and found Nkollo tours. And I was very pleased with their mannerism and organization. They picked us up at the hotel we had stayed over in Arusha for the night and we started our 3 day tour. We visited the Ngorongoro conservation on our first day, an interesting journey made more memorable by our remarkable tour guide Jeff. On our second day we got to explore the Serengeti plains, being famously know for having many lions we sure did see a great number of them. We camped at Simba campsite for the night and they provided us with camping equipments. On our last day we went back to Ngorongoro, this time we went up to the crater. It was a wow experience. We were accompanied by an excellent chef, whose meals were great. He particularly keen on my parents who are vegetarians, and made sure they didn’t miss out on the feast. 10/10 recommend Nkollo tours

Great service, I totally recomend this - We didn’t expect much since we didn’t have a lot of time to be in Arusha, but Allan adviced us on the day tour to not one but the three stops. My boyfriend and I had an absolute wonderful time. The guide and the group we joined was totally fun. It exceeded my expectations. Wonderful places to visit. We are currently planning to give it another try when we visit Arusha again.

We had an extremely amaizing experience - I organized a trip to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. I wanted it to be pretty special and I didn’t want an over the roof budget but at the same time getting premium services. Nkollo tours exceeded my expectations. We discussed on what my wishes were and they also advised me on what to choose and do to make it more memorable. I picked the 3 days trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. I got the most beautiful dinner setup, it was so dreamy made me wish for a wedding in the wilderness (I hope my boyfriend caught that too). They even organized champagne for us and was served chilled complimenting the delightful dinner prepared by the talent chef Anthony. I will always have fond memories of those 3 days. During the day we enjoyed the drive. We were able to see a lot of animals. The guide Brian was full of information and moved at our pace and gave us time to absorb all the beauty and take lots of photos. I hope I will be planning my wedding in the wilderness with Nkollo tours pretty soon, because who wouldn’t . Highly recommend

Trip to Serengeti - The Safari was great, the organization was amazing and the attention from the owner, the guide and the cook was incredible. I was in touch with Allan before i traveled because I had so many questions as it was my first safari and I was also traveling alone. He advised me which pack would be the best to see more animals during March and I booked a small group safari for 3 days in Serengeti and ngorongoro. When I reached Arusha he contacted me also to make sure everything was good and during the trip the guide and the cook took very good care of us and always letting us decide what we wanted to see, how long we wanted to stay in each place to watch the animals. We were always astonished about their good eyes which discovered the animals long time before us and able to answer our numerous questions regarding animals and culture. Also our cook Paul surprised us every day with delicious meals. I would book with them again and again. Their prices are the best online and in person compared to most companies. Im very happy i did the Safari with them.
