    Above my expectations. Big credit to our guide Chady. An adaptive driver, experienced and always knew where to take us. Most of all he cared about everyone and made a big effort to make our tour comfortable and smooth, also socially. The food was sufficient, but if you are a big eater like me it's nice to carry some small snacks/bottles in addition.

    From initial enquiry through to post trip debrief, the communication from Godlisten was excellent. The tour itself was incredible. Benjamin the guide was knowledgeable, keen to share information and could spot an animal on a tree when I couldn't even see the tree!!. I was lucky enough to see the big 5 plus so much more. The food produced by Colin was delicious and plentiful. This is a tour definitely worth taking and I hope to go back and do it again.

    The guys who operate this tour did a great job in giving in what most consider the trip of a lifetime! Our guide, Florida, made sure we were well accommodated. All the meals were very delicious and freshly made each time. I highly recommend this tour as they will work with you if any last minute change happens, or if you need hotels or rides to/from the airport. I made new friends from this tour alone!

    My husband and I joined a four day tour with Colours of Africa and our experience was outstanding. We received a full itinerary the moment we booked the tour, and were provided with driving services to and from the airport. Hamisi, the operator was helpful and took into account requests we had such as vegan meals. As well as being fun and super energetic, our tour guide Lukas was very professional and knowledgeable. We were lucky to be part of his tour as he was a great animal spotter and we got to see the whole great five including the very rare black rhino! Another big plus was the food, we received a very satisfying breakfast, lunch and supper every day and the food was always hot and fresh thanks to the chef Libert. For a budget priced tour it was defiantly a worth it experience, very recommended.

    Booked a 4 day safari from Arusha to Tarangire, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro. an excellent experience. Driver who picked me up/dropped me off at my hotel was timely, a safe driver, and provided an interesting commentary during the ride. The safari itself was wonderful, saw lots of animals, the driver/guide David was engaging and informative. I'd book again anytime!

    My girlfriend and I completed a 4-day Safari with Lucus as our tour guide. He was excellent! Highly highly recommend it! Very knowledgable and helped us with our Swahili. My dream was to get pictures of cheetahs and he got us close (about 10-15 feet). He even let us stay longer to just admire them. We saw all the big cats, elephants, hippos, giraffes, various antelope, crocs, monkeys/baboons, and various birds. We sang songs and went at our own pace. Lunches were excellent, you will not go hungry. We even drank during the day. You won’t regret a day with Lucus!
