They enabled the adventure of a lifetime!
Bujo and his crew are simply amazing, really willing to go the extra mile for a customer. I decided point blank to go climb Kilimanjaro by myself, and I took their 6 days package via Marangu route (huts, no camping), and I got referred to Bujo tours by a friend. The pickup - drop off service from Moshi/arusha works a wonder, and the driver, Jeff, had an amazing sense of humour. With the help of Bujo’s Everest-skilled guy, Nassoro, and 2 fantastic porters, Raheem and Mussa, we managed it in just 5 days! While I was away, I also asked Bujo to set me up for Safari and he managed to squeeze me in a 4-day trip to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire national parks, and it’s been the experience of a lifetime, where I met wonderful fellow travellers, and saw the most incredible shows Mother Nature has to offer. All this for reasonable price, and an excellent price-quality ratio, especially for mildly expensive activities such as high-altitude hiking expeditions and safari game drives. 1000% recommended, don’t waste more time researching ☀️

First safari and Bujo Tours did not disappoint :)
This was our first safari and we decided to budget camp for eight days with Bujo Tours. Obviously we were anxious that all would go well and we would see as much wildlife as possible. Bujo Tours, our guide Fredy, along with our personal chef, made it stress free and exceptional from the get go. We saw all the big five, along with so much wildlife, many we did not expect to see. Partly down to luck, as nature is of course unpredictable, but mostly due to our guide Fredy, and his incredible spotting skills and keen eye. Fredy has all the information and knowledge you could ever wish for. Our personal chef, who travelled with us across the Serengeti, also looked after us and we enjoyed some fabulous food along the way, and he was not a bad spotter himself!
The organisation and attention to our needs and preferences was such a joy from start to finish. What an absolutely stunning and beautiful landscape, filled with wildlife we love so much. Thank you Bujo Tours for making our Safari dream come true, we are already thinking about our next trip with you in 2025.

Best value for your money
Bujo Tours did an exceptional job with making our first Safari experience a success.
Anthony went out of his way to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and provided us with a ton of information about them as well.
Highly recommend you book with Bujo

Amazing trip and guide
We were a group of 4 people and went for Safari for 4 days. We had amazing days together with Bujotours and our guide Naza. Our guide Naza was very helpfull and took good care of us. The camp/hotels they booked for us was both clean and nice. I recommend everyone to book a tour together with Bujotours.

A bit rushed but a memorable experience
It's a bit of cliché to say a travel experience was the trip of a lifetime. But in the case of the Bujo Tours 8-day tour of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, it's an apt description.
First up was a game drive in Tarangire National Park, a perfect way to ease into life on the road. The park is small compared to its more famous neighbours but the wildlife is plentiful and easy to see.
The second day we took the long drive to the Serengeti. It was just as spectacular as it looks in the nature documentaries -- a never-ending plain of dry grass, studded here and there with umbrella-like acacia trees. Because of its size, the animals were widely spread out and there were many periods when nothing much was visible. But when they appeared, the animal sightings were memorable: Plenty of giraffes, warthogs, gazelles, antelopes, hippo, crocs and even rarely-seen serval cats and a leopard in a tree. Several times, we got very close to lions, including an entire pride of a dozen animals, just a few yards away. We were amazed at how nonchalant lions can be, casually walking within a couple of paces of the truck, studiously ignoring us.
One of the sights we most wanted to see was the Great Migration -- more than 1.5 million wildebeests on their way north toward Kenya. It was fascinating to see huge herds grazing just off the road, then suddenly forming single-file lines to continue their northward trek. The only disappointment was that the wildebeests were not ready to make the spectacular crossing of the Mara River. It's completely a matter of luck and our timing happened to be bad.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the trip was in the Ngorongoro Crater. The early morning mist and the the sun slowing creeping down the crater wall made for an enchanting atmosphere and animals were everywhere.
The tour was very well run. It was a private tour, meaning we had our own driver/guide Freddy and our own cook, Aresto. Freddy has a keen eye and was usually the first to spot wildlife. He's very knowledgeable and happy to stop whenever we wanted a longer look. Aresto's meals were mostly delicious stews and curries.
You should be aware that the accommodation throughout was safari tents, big enough for a 6-footer to stand in. We slept in sleeping bags on foam mats. If you're used to camping, you'll have no trouble with the accommodations. At night we could hear lions calling nearby, sometimes sounding like they were just outside our tent. (According to Freddy, one night they actually were!)
I have few criticisms, but I do wish the pace of the safari was a little slower. Sometimes it felt like we were racing to fit in as much as possible. That was most notable in the Ngorongoro Crater. Soon after coming to the crater floor, Freddy got word that a black rhino was nearby. In our race to get there, we sped right past a huge herd of water buffalo right on the side of the road. In the end, we saw only a glimpse of the rhino about a kilometre away. I would far prefer to have spent time close to the water buffalo.
We were only in the crater half a day. I would recommend spending a whole day there, even a day and a half. It's too nice a place to race through.
But overall, it was a wonderful trip and I give Bujo Tours five stars.

It’s definitely a YES!
We went with Bujo Tours on 5-day safari to Nyerere NP and Mikumi NP. It was a marvellous experience. Antony was our guide and he was great - open, flexible with a lot of knowledge about the parks, the animals, the plants but also about Tanzania. He was
The camps we were staying at - Africa Safari Selous in Nyerere and Camp Bastian in Mikumi - were very good, especially the latter one. Persistent in looking for different species of wild animals. A very good driver.
The 5-day tour comprises a lot of travelling but it was a great opportunity to see the normal life in Tanzania. Last but not least, thanks to Sweve - the communication before booking the tour was very good, Sweve was flexible and cooperative, he responded very quickly to all questions we had.
We definitely recommend exploring the wild Tanzanian nature with Bujo Tours!

Magical!
Anthony & Bujo Tours were great. I had a really magical experience on their 4 day safari to Nyerere National Park.
They were readily available on WhatsApp to discuss any issues and ensure I was comfortable as travelling solo to do a safari. I didn’t realise I had booked a private tour but it was a great experience to be a part of.

Perfect tour, perfect spotter, best for Safari
Safari. How long should you drive? We chose 8 days as we wanted to see Taragiere, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. And we chose Bujo-Tours for our trip. Booked from Germany, all information in English. Safari in Tanzania is expensive, so we were looking for an inexpensive but safe alternative. And Bujo-Tours promised it all. So, let's go.
We met our guide and driver Nick and our cook in the typical safari Toyota in Arusha. Off to Taragiere Park and we immersed ourselves in the world of the Big Five. Nick is a good spotter, he discovers what a European misses. Everyone finds zebras, but giraffes are amazingly camouflaged in the savannah.
What can I say. We saw lions, cheetahs, leopards, a serval cat, warthogs, hyenas and ostriches many times. Everywhere, of course, there are elephants, zebras, gazelles of various species, wildebeests and lots of diverse birds, from eagles to flycatchers. Landscapes, trees and many exotic plants were photographed. Even if not all images captured a new subject, we shot over 10,000 times. It was a joy, an adventure, a fantastic experience to spend these 8 days with Nick & Co.
Highly recommended.
