Day 1
Tarangire is the park that can boast of being home to Tanzania's largest population of African elephants. It has four of the Big Five residing within the park. After breakfast at 8:00 am, we will depart to encounter Africa’s wilderness at Tarangire National Park. With picnic lunches, we'll enjoy a game drive till 1:00 pm (a one-hour lunch break). Then from 2:00 pm -4:00 pm, we will have an afternoon game drive, then depart to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay. Mid-range lodge located 1-2hr drive from Tarangire NP Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 2
After Breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel. On the way to Serengeti, you will pass by the Ngorongoro Highlands and enjoy the crater view before heading to your destination. The name Serengeti originates from the Maasai word Siringitu and means endless plains. You will see why the Maasai gave this region this name as the grassland savannah stretches to the horizon in the South and is only interrupted by the so-called kopjes. These kopjes are bizarre rock formations formed by the weathering of granite outcrops. The plains are the perfect hunting grounds for leopards and other big cats. You will have an excellent chance to view these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat through the open roof of the vehicle. In the afternoon, you will have a standard home meal and then, later on, arrive at your destination for the day. You will have a lodge for the night and enjoy a good meal in the middle of the African bush. Luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 3
Before dawn, enjoy tea or coffee and head out on an early morning game drive when predators are most active. Watch for lions on kopjes, cheetahs on the plains and leopards in rocky outcrops, with excellent photo opportunities at sunrise. Return to camp for a hot breakfast and a short rest, then depart for a full-day game drive across the Serengeti’s varied habitats. Enjoy a packed picnic lunch at a scenic spot, continue tracking wildlife in the afternoon, and pause for sundowners as the sun sets over the plains. Return to your lodge in the evening for a hot shower, a hearty dinner and overnight in comfortable bush accommodation. Optional Balloon Safaris can be arranged. Luxury tented camp located inside Central Serengeti NP All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)
Day 4
After breakfast, you will continue the game drive through the Serengeti National Park. You will sight hundreds of wildebeests and zebras and often lions and other big cats such as leopards and cheetahs in the Seronera Valley. After lunch at a picnic site, you will drive in the direction of the Ngorongoro Highlands. As soon as you have reached the edge of the crater, the caldera opens up before you. You will have a remarkable view of this impressive natural wonder. You will have a lodge for the night and enjoy the fantastic view as the sun goes down. Luxury tented camp located less than 1hr drive from Ngorongoro Crater All meals included All drinks (Except for spirits/liquor)

Wake up to the bird calls meaning another day in the wild side of Africa is here. Descend into the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera to encounter the Big Five; lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos alongside zebras, wildebeests, and flamingos. The crater's lush landscapes and unique ecosystem offer a photographer's paradise and an unparalleled safari adventure. After breakfast, we'll depart with our picnic lunches to the crater floor as we enjoy a game drive till lunch break. After that, have a game drive as we exit the crater and drive to the lodge near Manyara for our dinner and overnight stay.

5.0/5First 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.

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! 😊

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...).

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!!
