Your Tour at a Glance


Tour Activity Level
The activity level for this tour:
You’re a leisurely traveler. You typically take it easy and discover the energy of a new place by people-watching or soaking in the atmosphere at a local café. You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.
You like a balanced approach to travel. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is no problem for you. You can partake in a two-hour leisurely walking tour, covering up to two miles (with included breaks). You can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestone streets to moderate hills with relative ease and without assistance. You can climb two flights of stairs with ease. There may be 1 to 2 days on this tour when walking tours can cover 3 to 4 miles over uneven terrain. You can handle altitudes up to 6,000 feet.
You’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
You’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and half or full day hikes are things you may enjoy) and 10,000 steps a day is normal for you. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 3 hours covering 3+ miles at a steady clip) and activities that involve traversing uneven terrain, steep slopes, standing for periods of time, and varying altitudes and temperatures. You don’t mind being on the go with some early starts, late-nights, and full days. You can handle altitudes of 9,000 feet or higher with little to no issue. This level is not appropriate for travelers who use wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility assistance devices.

Trip Rating:I especially enjoyed the Thorn Tree Camp accommodations, as there were zebra grazing and hyenas freely patrolling the grounds. The only drawback was the floor in the bathroom section of the tent, which was quite uneven. The view from our Sangaiwe [Tarangire] tent was amazing!

Trip Rating:This safari in Kenya and Tanzania was absolutely amazing! The guides and drivers were so knowledgeable and skillful in finding the best opportunities to view animals in action in their habitat. The accommodations and choices of experiences were excellent! We were so excited to see a papa lion guarding 11 lion cubs, a leopard leaping out of a tree to chase a prey, and so many elephants and wildebeest in the great migration. We highly recommend this safari with Collette!

Trip Rating:Felix was knowledgeable and knew where to find the Big 5. The drivers were also very enjoyable and knowledgeable and very accommodating. Food at various locations was excellent. It was very eye opening to visit a Masai village. The people were very warm and friendly. The skill involved in shooting a bird for their first catch of the day was amazing as well as making fire and cooking the bird.

Trip Rating:Two of the safari tent camps need to be updated. Very rustic; not 4 star. Box lunches were awful. 5 of us at Fig tree got food poisoning. The boxes were not in a cooler for safety. I also got a parasite from poor prep techniques. Tanzania vehicles need to be mustered out and new ones bought.

Trip Rating:The game drives were incredible and we saw so many animals that we were just amazed! We however were disappointed with the accommodations at the Thorn Tree Camp in Karatu, Tanzania. It's a very tired property that needs updating. During our three nights there, we had no hot water for two of them. One additional observation is that the original assignment of vehicles at the very beginning of the tour was chaotic. We were a total group of 18 traveling in 3 vehicles and to our group of five an additional couple was added making for a total of 7 traveling in one vehicle (there was a solo traveler that could have made it a group of 6 in each vehicle but instead we had our 7 in one vehicle, 6 in another vehicle and only 5 in the third vehicle). We were disappointed that the Tour Manager never took control of this situation by assigning 6 travelers to each vehicle.

Trip Rating:The tour itself was great. The locations, activities and wild animals made the whole thing very much worthwhile. Some of the lodgings were in tents or lodges without AC, but that's what we expected so no surprise. The food was good but not great. Things to know: 1) the dust in the dry season can be unbelievably bad, 2) there are many other tour operators out there, so you are likely to be in a queue of 20 vehicles all trying to see the same sleeping lion.

Trip Rating:My sister researched and found this Collette safari. It was a splurge for us. This safari was the most memorable experience I have had in my travels. I saw all five of the big five, four in just one day. The accommodations were wonderful and well-placed for all of our overnighting. We were blessed with exceptional weather too. Our guide, Alfred, was awesome and full of knowledge about the animals and where we would likely see each kind, the plants in each zone and their uses and what ate them, and the geography of each country and zone we traveled in. We knew the night before where we would journey the following day, where we would rest, and what was on the menu. All of our drivers were also wonderful and our driver throughout Tanzania, Raymond, was a joy for to be with for the 10 days we were together.

Trip Rating:Really enjoyed our African Tour, it included the Serengeti, Amboseli National Park and a lot more. Our tour Director was Felix and he did a wonderful job leading our group and keeping us informed as we progressed through Africa. The only downside was the roads for the Safaris they made the ride very difficult and uncomfortable. They were like a washboard and when we were moving at a quick speed it was really uncomfortable. We were not warned in advance that we would need to "pick the flowers" when no formal washroom was available. Felix said that he had toilet paper but he was not in our vehicle when we had to "Pick the flowers". The Glamping was OK, but some of the tents really did not keep the bugs out and the crickets got in and were extremely loud. Also had a bat in one hotel and a very large roach. Food was acceptable but not great. The buffets were almost all the same foods with minor differences and not one could cook chicken. The chicken at every facility was like a rock. My husband took the Serengeti Air ballon Safari and loved it. He felt it should be offered by Collette. In spite of the negatives mentioned here I really loved the experience. Thanks.

Trip Rating:The whole experience was amazing. The Serengeti and the Amboseli National park were a wonderful experience. We saw most of the wildlife that you would have expected. The length of time spent on safari was long because we saw the same wildlife repeatedly and the rough roads really made for a very long day. Our tour guide was Felix and he mentioned the east coast of Africa was more of a beach environment and would have made a little more relaxing few days instead of driving on unpaved, dirt, rough roads the entire trip. My average rating for the accommodations is not because the idea of Glamping was bad but the tents themselves were not pleasant to stay in. One of the facilities had wood around the perimeter and it was either rotted or termite invested and allowed bugs to get into the rooms. The food was almost always buffet, ok but not inspired and about the same at all the different places we stayed. Choices were ok, 2 entres were offered at all the places so you did have choices. They should not serve chicken, every place we stayed the chicken was rock hard and dry as the Serengeti. The tour was infact very enjoyable but with reservations.
Thank you for your review! We look forward to traveling with you again soon.

Trip Rating:Tour manager Felix was fantastic- very knowledgeable. We had 3 trucks and he would alternate so we all heard some of his comments about the animals, trees, birds. It would be better if he had a system like whisper tech to allow all of us to hear the info every day. Collette did a great job with lodging, transportation, food and excursions. Great trip,

Trip Rating:We had expert guidance from Titus, our tour guide and the drivers. We did see the big five animals and a huge number of others in the Great Migration. The total count was that we saw thirty different lions along with one leopard and a family of cheetahs. The accommodations were great, the food was very good, the people were great and we had a great time.
