Amazing northern Tanzania safari!!!!
My husband and I had the most incredible safari experience in northern Tanzania dec2017-jan2018 organised by Jackson from Bush2City. We visited Tarangire(amazing amount of elephants), Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater(to see black rhino), Ndutu(wilderbeest migration and lots of zebra babies) and the central serengeti(best place to see leopard). We saw so many animals up close -lions,giraffes,elephants, buffalo etc etc! A leopard walked right next to our car and we saw a cheetah chase in action! We also did a Coffee tour and some cultural visits which we loved. We visited a Maasai boma(a traditional,non-touristy one).
I enquired with many safari companies(there are lots!) before booking, but we are extremely happy we chose Bush2city! Bush2City is a smaller Tanzanian owned safari company and the attention to detail, prompt responses and personal customer service was obvious from the start. No request was too large.
I also found the quotes from Bush2city MUCH more competitive than all other companies without compromising on quality. In fact I ended up booking our zanzibar portion of our trip(inc. flights etc) with Bush2city too as I found it cheaper(and much easier) than if I did it myself(as I usually do). Once we arrived in Arusha, we asked to go around and see extra things not on our itinerary and this was all done at no extra charge.
I asked a million questions before booking and Jackson was very patient and detailed with responses. Jackson knows safaris inside out as he has been a guide for years and has a true passion for giving guests the time of their lives. All of his recommendations were spot on. Accommodation he chose for us was perfect! The staff, food and locations were great..... although if you have a particular place you want to stay this can easily be organised too.
Bush2city sets itself apart by genuinely caring for its clients rather than just adding another number to the list of tourists that come through.
For our packed safari lunches we had a huge picnic basket filled with an amazing array of local gourmet specialities rather than the simple ham sandwiches that everyone else around us was eating everyday. We felt like royalty!
Our safari landcruiser was so comfortable with a pop up roof, charging station, fridge and cb radio.
I requested to do some charity visits and this was added into our itinerary with no problem or extra charges that other companies seemed to have.
Bush2city also organises other things like safaris in Kenya, gorilla trekking in Uganda and Rwanda, Kilimanjaro trekking etc etc. and I’m sure these trips are also amazing.
In terms of paying for our safari, everything was completely safe, secure and straight forward.
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Bush2city for the ultimate safari.
Thank you Bush2city!

Excellent Tanzania safari
Communication with Jackson Solomon by email to set up the safari trip was easy. He was prompt in his responses. He was also open to changes when I chose a few different hotels/safari camps.
Our guide and driver, Saidi, was with us for 9 days and drove us about Tanzania. He taught us many things about plants, trees, animals, culture. We went to Arusha National Park and did a walking safari. We also did game drives in Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We stopped at Oldupai gorge too. We stayed at Planet Lodge in Arusha, Tarangire Safari Lodge, Escarpment Luxury Lodge, Lemala Ewanjan Tented Camp, and Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge.
Saidi was a safe driver, patient, funny and smart. He is multilingual and he referenced books or he referenced his phone if he did not know something that we asked about. He was also flexible with change of plans on a few days. When I got flu, he took me to doctors (even when he was summoned at 3:00 a.m. in the morning without a complaint).
At the end of the tour, Jackson took us into Arusha town for shopping and he even bought us some souvenir tee shirts! He drove us round trip to Kilimanjaro airport too.
We had a wonderful private trip with Bush 2 City Adventures. We saw many animals (cheetah, leopard, lions, zebra, elephants, wildebeest, serval, hyena, jackal, Buffalo, gazelles, antelopes, turtles, birds, mongoose, lizards, warthogs, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, etc.) The only animal we did not see was rhino, which was elusive in the crater. We had delicious food at the camps/hotels, excellent service, plentiful bottled water (with Bush 2 City labels on the bottles) each day while in the Toyota Land Cruiser, and we had fun. Thank you Saidi and Jackson!

An excellent safari experience in Northern and Southern Tanzania
From the first contact the services provided by Bush2City were of top level. More, the safari was exactly tailored for our specific interests and the atmosphere was very friendly, caring and attentive. Wonderful lodges, a good and trustable 4WD car and a very capable and informed driver. All together, a very particular and rewarding experience!

The Journey of a Lifetime
From our first email contact with Jackson, to our return home, Bush 2 City Adventure has provided excellent service and a wonderful adventure. Jackson expertly helped us plan our 11 day safari/vacation to Northern Tanzania and Zanzibar which included Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, a visit to a local village and orphanage, the Serengeti, Oldupai Gorge, and Ngorongoro Crater. We wanted to see cheetah and leopards, the Great Migration and a river crossing, relax in the early evening in front of our tent watching elephants, and hear lions roar in the night. We experienced all of that and more! We even saw leopard cubs and two black rhinos!
The accommodations were excellent- both lodges and tent camps- comfortable with friendly, helpful staff and wonderful food. (How do they prepare gourmet meals in these tent camps?) We traveled in a land cruiser, which was comfortable and roomy, although we were just a party of two, plus our guide. And I can't say enough about our guide! Said was very knowledgeable about the animals and the habitat, entertaining, a great driver, and very patient and accommodating. I'm still in awe of his ability to sight these animals (and his mastery of several languages.)
This was definitely a trip of a lifetime, and Jackson, Said, Wilson and the staff of Bush 2 City made it possible. As Jackson said to me in one of his first emails, a journey is not just the sights you see, but the friends you make. We left Tanzania having seen our "wish list," and with several new friends. Thank you guys for an awesome journey!

Amarzing Trip with Bush2City
Great trip from first contact with Jackson for the booking and tailoring to what we wanted to do. We added a couple of days to a standard trip. The trip was amazing and exactly as described in the booking. Our guide and friend for the duration, Said, was very knowledgeable, always ready to please and took perfect care of us throughout the trip. Our airline lost our luggage and between Jackson and Said they managed to get them to Saronera where we picked them up. Excellent team for anyone out there looking to take a trip into the wild. You can trust them to take good care of you. The Parks themselves - Amazing - You have to see for yourselves. Thanks Guys !

Kenya and Tanzania Safari plus Zanzibar
Bush 2 City did an excellent job planning a 17 day private safari to Kenya and Tanzania in March, 2017. Hotels were excellent. We had a private land cruiser for the entire experience with great driver/guides in both Kenya and Tanzania who were experts in the countries and wildlife. A great experience!!

Awesome Safari!
We booked our safari through the Serengeti with Bush 2 City and could not have been happier. They were very accommodating and had very friendly staff. Booking with them was very simple and they responded quickly to our questions. Our driver and chef were really cool and we had a great time. I can't say enough good things about the company or the safari. I would highly reccommend Bush 2 City, and will certainly use them again if I go on another safari.
Professional and personalized service that delivers an experience "of a lifetime".
For a few years my wife and I and a couple with whom we have made several trips had talked of a Tanzania Great Migration Safari. Our overall planning concluded that we did not care for a "group" travel model, but wanted a specialized private trip for the four of us that would include classic safari vehicle travel (rather than air travel from lodge to lodge) and high-end "tent" camps with a couple of lodge stays. Research on sites such as tripadvisor led to a smaller company with excellent reviews called Bush2City Adventures.
Solomon Jackson quickly responded to our initial inquiry with extensive information about his company and services, and a range of choices to help narrow our specific desires as to appropriate locations, level and offerings of lodging services, what animals were of most interest, travel times from one area to another, and pace of our game drives. He was patient and provided experienced advice to guide our selections, down to discussion of the attributes we sought in the guide with whom we would spend the ten days out in the "bush". He also provided specific pricing on each option we considered.
We travelled with Ally, whom we came to value both as a person and a professional with keen eyesight and deep knowledge of every type of animal and its habits in the wild. He cared for us in all ways to make us comfortable and our experience rich. The "route" had been charted by Jackson to cover the two areas where animals would be found in numbers, based on the variable of where feed was growing dependent on rains, which resulted in a perfect match with our desire for Great Migration herds and the animals' "birthing" season. Babies of all types abounded and gave us photo opportunities one could only hope for. The tent camps were outstanding, with furniture and indoor plumbing providing great comfort, and beautiful permanent lounge and dining facilities to enjoy views, drinks, and dinners. The staff we encountered were invariably personable and welcoming, with an obvious focus on putting smiles on our faces and attending to all of our needs.
Ally, without prediction or pretension, delighted us with close encounters with scores of animals from the smallest birds and insects to the largest elephants and hungry Nile crocodiles. We scored multiple "checks" on encounters with "The Big Five". From watching a lioness stalk, wait still in the grass, and launch her lightening attack on a family of zebra walking by, to a huge bull elephant pushing down a tree to bring his meal to him, each day brought new wonders and excitement.
Bush2City is recommended without exception, and, having spent many years as a CEO, I predict that Jackson Solomon's career will lead to building a very successful safari tour company.
