This lush habitat is inhabited by a significant population of olive baboons and blue monkeys.

From December to March, vast herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles gather for calving season, attracting predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. The area’s open plains and acacia woodlands provide excellent wildlife viewing and birdwatching, with off-road driving allowed for closer encounters. With fewer crowds than central Serengeti, the Ndutu region is ideal for spotting big cats and enjoying breathtaking landscapes. It is perfect for those seeking predator-prey action and stunning photographic opportunities. You will be picked up in the morning for the transfer game drive to Ndutu. After the lunch break, proceed with the afternoon game before returning to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

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.

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! 😊

A wonderful caring expert team

Unlike many agencies that drive around in Range Rovers all day to find spots first, Nkollo has a deep respect for nature and animals. Their service is Deluxe (tablecloth, metal cups for meals and not a quick camping trip...).

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!!
