I had time to kill in Arusha before my safari so Yussuf arranged some economical walking tours to Lake Duluti and Themi Falls based on my interests with nature. I also did a tour to Moivarro coffee plantation on the day after and based on my preferences, Yussuf incorporated a sugar cane tour and sampling into my coffee tour.
He also satisfied my penchant for local food and took me to excellent local restaurants for my meals between tours.
I really enjoyed my short stay in Arusha by doing these economical tours and having Yussuf as my guide.
After my safari, he helped me arrange a hiking trek with another outfit in Usambara and helped arrange transport to and from Arusha.

We went to private safari tour (2 days) in Tarangire and Ngorongoro parks with Nakilenge tours via Youssouf and Sudi and we really loved the experience.
First of all, everything is so beautiful there you see everything in its natural state so you are already amazed of everything.
Secondly, we were welcomed and guided in a wonderful way. Since the airport until the car we felt comfortable thanks to Youssouf and Sudi!
Both persons are really professional and so kind.
Present on time with cards from the airport until the safari car, they help you so much to feel comfortable. They propose you food and drink in the car. Even the wifi is present in the safari car.
Apart from that, we learned many many things regarding animals in their own state, their behaviour etc. We managed to see lions (very closely!), zebras, girafes, and all these wonderful animals in their own « houses ».
Last but not least, we did not felt at all in a hurry during the whole trip and this feeling has no price. Indeed, maybe you will see these animals one time in your life in such environments, so you have to enjoy it! Sudi is really listening your thoughts and whenever you want to take a snapshot or even having a look to an environment he is letting you enjoy the moment.
If we would be able to do it again, we would include also Serengeti park to our plan!
To conclude, I rate my experience with Nakilenge tours with Youssouf and Sudi with a big and well deserved 5 stars!

It was such a nice tour with Nakilenge tours. The school trip with Arusha Sciences students to Meru waterfalls was full of laughters in the nice buses and good music.
We appreciate Nakilenge's staff support during hill climbing with students and friendliness.

We are group of friends and wanted to see Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
After searching and communicating with bunch of companies, we chose this one and we have no regrets :)
First, communication was fast and without any problem. Yusup was waiting for us in Arusha airport and left us in the aiport on our way back again. It was taking care of us the whole time.
The special thanks belongs to Basso, amazing clever tour guide who give us unforgettable memories! He is really a special man and thanks to him, we have experience for rest of our lives. Also the chef was amazing and the meals he was cooking in the camps in the middle of parks were incredible.
Just only thing - I would avoid the Maasai village, it was really weird vibe, just tourist trap. But I do believe that has nothing to do with this company due to the fact that lots of agencies with tourists are going there :)
Higly recommend :)

Unbelievable ! It is difficult to find the words to describe what we have experienced. Beyond a simple safari, above all a human adventure. Stay in heavenly places with the cry of lions in the background. Accompanied by the best guides, with human qualities that made the difference from other companies. We were a family with our two guides, who did everything to make us happy. A support that goes beyond, they have found solutions for everything. With an inexplicable charm, I recommend this company to everyone, which stands out from the others for their human values. We have kept in touch because they will forever be in our hearts. By far the best experience ever. We were looking to make our dream come true, and they made it even more amazing. If you are looking for more than a safari I recommend Nakilenge a 5 star safari. A simple thank you would not be enough. Forever in our heads and in our hearts.
Max et Margot.
I hope to see you again soon.

Wonderful. Amazing. Perfect. Our family of five enjoyed the safari of a lifetime with Nakilenge Tours. Yusuph provided wonderful communications planning for our arrival, hospitality upon arrival and throughout, and our drive with Charles included him sharing his love, knowledge, and passion for animals and nature and driving skills as we ventured to various national parks. We all had so much fun, saw so many animals, reptiles, birds, and plants; learned; and fell in love with Tanzania. We will be back!! Thank you Nakilenge!

The trip was completely seamless. We were met as scheduled at every meeting point throughout the trip. The car types were as promised and the drivers professional at all times.
All the guides that we toured with were the best I have been associated with and are highly recommended. The hotel(Gateway lodge)were 4 stars or better, clean and well-appointed. The superlatives that come to mind when I think of this travel company are precise, professional, creative, knowledgeable communicative and 100% dedicated to the customer's needs and wants.

The private safari with Nakilenge Tours was exceptional, we were able to see many varieties of animals and in particular the Big Fives. The guides were excellent, very accommodating and very trustworthy people. It was an unforgettable experience right down to the exceptional accommodation provided to us. We were truly privileged as our guide prepared for us several surprises on the occasion of our honeymoon. I can only recommend ! You can trust 10000 % this agency. Thank you so much for making our honeymoon unforgettable. Here is a little insight of pictures I took.
