Safari/Arusha Trip - We had a 2-days safari tour and 1 day through the City of Arusha. The Safari was very nice and well organized. We even saw Rhinos and a Babyrhino which is very rare. The third and last day we had a tour around Arusha with Allan (Guide). He took us up from the hotel and we spent the day with him. We talked much, he told us many things about Arusha, the tanzanite and the mining etc.. He is a guide who knows how to do his job and has much much Knowledge. He answered to every question i made and could explain me everything. He even explained me everything about the coffee with the beans and leaves ( see the pictures). He speaks english very well. We even went for a coffee, talked and laughed together like friends and that makes the atmosphere even better. All the guides were good but he was special. I would recommend everyone to ask for Allan as a guide if they want to have an informative and unforgetable experience.

Best ever - We had the absolute best time with Colours of Africa Safari during our trip to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Our guide, Nicholas, was incredible—he made sure we saw all the animals we hoped for and more! His expertise and ability to schedule each day around our preferences made the experience truly perfect. From the moment we booked, communication was seamless, and everything was organized smoothly. We couldn't recommend this company enough! Asante Sana Nicholas and Colours of Africa x

Unforgettable experience - What an unforgettable experience! First, I must mention the availability and kindness of Jesemina, who designed a safari proposal tailored specifically to our desires and requests, fulfilling all our expectations. She always responded within minutes and was extremely well-prepared to address all our doubts. :) As for the safari trip itself, we were fortunate to have Benjamin as our guide. His vast experience allowed us to witness almost every type of animal, alongside breathtaking landscapes and scenes that will forever remain in our hearts. Lastly, we must give a special thanks to Alan, who, on our final day, offered us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture of the Kilimanjaro tribes. His involvement made it an incredible day for us. We are grateful for the entire experience—from the safari to the accommodations—and what can we say about the food and the people? Simply incredible.

Great holiday home - We made great memories with our tour guide Kindu. He has a lot of knowledge and took good care of us during the trip. Then we went to mafia island where Godlists guided us. Swim there with whale sharks. Both while supervising activities and at the locations where you stay, nice, committed people are ready to ensure that we had a super nice holiday. Thank you for that.

Great. Great. - Big 5 and many other animals seen in the amazing nature parks. Enjoyed the warm and relaxed Tanzanian culture. After the safari we spent a few days on Mafia Island where we swam with whale sharks and tropical fish. Our guides Kindu and Godlists from Colours Africa have arranged everything down to the last detail. An unforgettable experience that I can recommend to everyone.

The whales sharks in Mafia Island - Thank you Colors Of Africa! Truly an amazing experience! Obviously, the animals were really impressive, and the views were untouched. Our driver for the safari, Kindu, was a well of animal science, we could ask him any question and he would answer. After that, for the tour in Kilimanjaro, our guide, Allan, was a kind and really funny young man. We could not get bored with him. In Mafia Island, with the guidance of one of the owner of the company, Godlisten, we used a local tour to go see the whale sharks. In this agency (Afro Whale Shark Safari), Yussouf was the best captain we could wish for. Honest about what we could see and with an amazing sight allowing us to see the whale sharks twice! The organisation was without a flaw, not once were we left on our own to find something. A tiring but amazing trip, would recommend using Colors Of Africa and would without a second of hesitation do it again the exact same way

Trip of a lifetime with Colours Africa - My husband and I traveled from the US to Africa for an African safari vacation in June 2024 and used Colours of Africa -- and it wound up being the trip of a lifetime. They customized our entire trip to suit what we wanted to do on our vacation which was amazing. After the long journey from North Carolina to Tanzania we were exhausted and Colours of Africa showed up right at the airport to whisk us away. They handled EVERY single component of our trip, with drivers taking us to and from airports and amazing tour guides. We chose to do the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar and did the luxury hotel package (Melias and Four Seasons). Our tour guide in the Serengeti (Kindu) was absolutely amazing. We were on a private tour bus the entire trip just the two of us vs. if you book with the hotels directly who have 15-20 people on full safari trucks the same size. The amazing thing about this is we could tell Kindu what we wanted to see and he would take us to those animals. We saw all of the big 5. He was so kind and fun to tour with always early waiting for us. He's been a tour guide for a long time unlike a lot of the younger drivers in the Serengeti and clearly knew exactly where to go to find the animals. We were also always parked front and center a stones throw away from the animals so had the BEST viewing point. He was a 10 out of 10 driver - highly recommend! The Serengeti was truly magical and one of the neatest places we've ever seen and my hubby and I have traveled internationally a ton (Maldivees, Qatar, Hawaii, Turks, Australia, etc.) Definitey the highlight of our trip! We saw a cheetah kill on our last day and plenty of lions, hippos, wildebeests and zebras. The Ngorongoro Crater was a bit of a hike in the vehicle (I believe it was a four hour ride?) but truly amazing to see how the Masai tribes live on the journey. The Grand Melia was the most beautiful hotel we've ever seen - note they do not have air conditioning. It was fine, though, as we got in later in the day, and it's chilly at night. Take lots of pics if you stay there as you'll want those amazing memories from those hotel views into the crater. If we skipped any of the trip it probably would've been Zanzibar. You can't use the beaches at all as the hotel's beach is public and its completely full of locals hounding you the entire time. You can't sit on a towel ever for 10 seconds because they won't go away. We opted for this third leg of the trip as we wanted some beach relaxation at the end, but I prob would've chosen a different last leg. Prob not another safari as we saw enough animals in the first two stops and were ready for a relaxing way to end the trip... A few minor hiccops we had, which is common on long journeys, was our luggage was lost by the airline when we arrived on day 1. Our tour guide instantly pivoted and took us to local shops to buy some clothes and socks and whatever we needed to make it through the first day. Colours of Africa picked up our luggage the next day and brought it to the airstrip in the Serengeti so we had clothes the next morning without batting an eye. When we checked out of our Zanzibar hotel the hotel tried to charge us for food even though we bought an all-inclusive package and Colours instantly took care of that too an the hotel wiped away the charges for them even though they wouldn't for us. That hotel also gave us a lower level room than we booked and same Colours instantly called and got our room changed and upgraded when we called and let them know - they went above an beyond for EVERYTHING!!!!! They were completely on it and made it the trip of a lifetime. Tips for anyone taking this trip: Definitely pack two days of clothes in your carry-on in case your luggage is lost like ours was. You need a good bug spray as the testes flies are bad. Go for a luxury hotel if you can afford it as it will make a difference in your trip! I would recommend Colours of Africa to anyone traveling on a safari trip - they are truly 10 out of 10, legit, honest, kind, hardworking people! They will go above and beyond to meet every ask that you have. Thank you for an AMAZING trip Colours Africa! We hope to come back again with our kids one day!

Highly Recommend - We did a 5 day safari with Colours and it was our first one ever. We didn’t know what to expect but the booking process was easy and Justin was able to answer all our questions and guide us. He was always polite and instilled trust in us. Our guide, DENNIS, WAS AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable of the animals and the roads. We always felt safe and had so much fun. He was always making sure we were feeling. We got to see almost all of the animals we wanted to see but even if we hadn’t, we would do it again just for Dennis. One thing I would change is that we didn’t know how long the distances between parks were and we ended up spending the entire day, every day in the car. We had chosen nice accomodations (out of the options Colours gave us) thinking we would have more time to chill there. We expected to arrive at our lodges around 5pm everyday but ended up arriving at 7pm every night and then leaving at 7:30am every morning, so there really was not down time. I suggested for Colours to include travel times between parks in the itinerary for the future so that guests can plan better. The next time we would do it a bit more leisurely instead of so busy. I should note that on the day we arrived to Arusha, our driver picked us up and took us to the office for us to check in with Colours. The office is located in a pretty sketchy place and it’s not very nice. I hope in the future they can change offices or just do the guest’s check in at their hotel instead of taking them to the office. Overall, I would highly recommend Colours, just make sure you explain what your expectations and preferences are when booking/choosing the package.

Unforgettable experience - Our 5-day safari in Tanzania was an unforgettable adventure, all thanks to our guide, Kindu. Every aspect of the safari, from accommodations to meals and schedules, was perfectly organized. Kindu was not only exceptionally punctual, but also incredibly flexible and accommodating. His wealth of knowledge about the country, culture, and wildlife added a fascinating layer to our journey. Despite being in the early stages of learning Spanish, we had great conversations in english with Kindu. Although we know he can also speak chinese. The spacious and clean vehicle, along with the well-maintained tools for any potential issues, provided a sense of security throughout the trip. Kindu's dedication to finding the specific animals we wanted to see was remarkable, and while we unfortunately missed the leopard, spotting the rhinoceros on the last day was an unforgettable highlight.
