Well Organised
Bujo managed to give us a memorable 4 day Safari in the southern circuits of Mikumi and Selous parks with only 1 day of notice. Sweve was very quick to respond to our short notice request and managed to create a trip with accommodation in 2 lovely camps in peak season. Our driver/guide Anthony was brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, especially with the birds. He was very patient with us trying to get photographs and he positioned the car in a way that allowed for excellent photography without us asking him to do so. He had excellent car control on the highways and the dirt roads as well. We are both normally very prone to car sickness but his driving didnt give us any issues and for that we are grateful.
The food was a mix of local swahili and international food that really elevated the whole experiences. The accommodation was really among the best in the park areas and we couldnt really ask for more. ( maybe working WiFi, but thats outside the scope of Bujo). The short Masai tribe visit and the bush walk with a member of the Mawada tribe were also brilliant.
We would recommend Bujo to anyone. And when we visit Tanzania again for the northern circuit/ Kilimanjaro, we would be sure to connect with Bujo first.

Unforgettable experience, 5 stars
This Safari experience far exceeded our expectations and gave us memories that will last a lifetime. We had so much fun, saw hundreds of animals, and learned a lot. The communications from Bujo were timely and everything was handled with professionalism. The accommodations were nice and clean. This tour was great value for money, and our guide Anthony was the best possible companion. He was incredibly patient, kind, funny, and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. We spent most of our days nonstop laughing, and he was always willing to make stops at local markets and rest stops when we needed a snack or to stretch our legs. He also was an expert on every single animal and plant. I think he probably answered at least a thousand questions we asked. He taught us about animal behaviors and pointed out symbiotic relationships between species. Not to mention his deep knowledge of the parks enabled us to see all the animals we wanted to see. We even saw lions mating and hunting, which is very rare. I can’t recommend this tour and company enough. We are so grateful for Anthony and the entire Bujo tours team!

Unique African experience
We choose Bujo Tours because of its splendid ratings, the competitive price and fair cancellation policy and were not left disappointed. Our friendly driver led us to some very particular places at Nyerere, which we liked most, especially because of its breathtaking landscape. Also the combination with the boat trip and the walking safari was excellent, where we were engaged in a thrilling elephant experience. We also took the best animal pictures at Nyerere, even if we had to wait for the lions until we got to Mikumi. However, transfers to Mikumi and back to Dar Es Salaam are long and quite exhausting, but the amazing rides through numerous African villages compensates for the effort we had to take. They gave us a perfect view on how people live. However, I would not recommend the Selous-Mikumi combination for families with smaller children.
I‘d definitely recommend to visit Nyerere (we also liked the camp) and want to thank Bujo Tours for the perfect organization and easy going communication (we booked the trip in advance from home). We had a great time and collected many exiting and rewarding experiences.

Very professional
We had a great experience when we visited mikumi and nyerere national parks! Our driver Anthony had 15 years of experience with game drive, and it really showed since he could forsee the animals movements which helped us spot many lions, elephants, crocodiles and buffalos. I've been to masai mara and krueger park before but during this safari we saw more animals and our driver managed to get us closer to the animals.
The lodges where also much better then my previous safari lodges. They both had a pool which was very nice after a long game drive. The food was also better which was so great. We really recommend this 5 day tour!

Perfect match for us!
My adult son and I did this trip together- his first time in Africa (I had been a few other times.)
Our guide (Nick) and chef were far above amazing. Could not have hoped for a better team.
The wildlife was stunning- from the tens of thousands of wildebeest to frequent large cat sightings. Can hardly wait to start working through the photos!!
Our tent and Land Cruiser where nothing fancy but comfortable and got the job done.
I would be more than happy to sign right back up with them and return.

Reliable and uncomplicated.
I spent 4 very nice days. The group I joined and the driver Tony were the best company. If you don’t want to travel alone, I can highly recommend to do a safari by joining a group.

Great budget safari experience with friendly guide
We were looking for a Safari company, that would offer us a private tour for a good price and Bujo did fit our needs. The manager (Sweve) was fast to reply via whatsapp. We did multiple iterations of different itineraries and Sweve always sent multiple options of time plan and accomodacion. When we agreed on the itenerary, we paid 10% deposit online.
The day before the start of our Safari, we met in Arusha with our guide Nick, made final arrangements and paid the rest in cash.
Nick was super friendly and very experienced guide. He knew all places very well and was very patient and tried to fulfill all our wishes. Thanks to the fact that we paid for private safari, there was only two of us (plus Nick) in the car and we could completely manage the pace at we drove in the parks. We are somewhat a enthusiast birders and thanks to that we had enough time to closely inspect the bushes when we saw some feathered activity. Even though birding is not Nicks specialisation, he had a book and actively tried to help us identify all the birds that were new to us.
We were tight on budget so we picked the cheapest version, which means staying in camp outside of park in a tented camp (Kizumba). In the camp, there were big tents with actual beds inside, which was convenient and comfortable. The boxed lunch food for safari was prepared by the camp and it was quite tasty, with some snacks like fruit and biscuits. The car we drove was smaller version of those big 8 passenger cars, with pop-up roof. The car was quite older (which is understandable for a budget safari) but beside the visual impression, it didn't affect the riding experience at all. The car had a power outlet in the passenger area but sadly it was not functional at the moment. But I was able to charge my power bank at the drivers usb outlet.
Overall, from our experience I can say that Bujo is a reliable company and we got everything we paid for. Our guide Nick is a great person and excellent guide that I would gladly recommend.

Professional and Passionate Journey
We are two Chinese travelers who have experienced an unforgettable trip in this country. The travel agency we worked with was very professional, they responded to my message very quickly and answered my questions patiently.
The guide Mr.humphrey who spent six days and five nights with us, with brilliant driving skills, and a pair of eagle eyes, is very helpful for finding animals, and has a wealth of animal knowledge and passion for nature. The chef's skills are also very good, and the daily meal will change and delicious.
We saw the sunrise and precious rhinos on the grassland, as well as the meals of Hyena, the country's protection of nature is amazing, I would like to recommend this and this travel company to all my friends.

Excellent and professional company that gave us the trip of a lifetime!
We had the best experience with Bujo tours and really recommend them! The communications with them were very easy and they were super responsive in answering all of our questions. We booked a 9 day safari tour (by adding one day to the wildebeest migration safari plan to visit lake Manyara) and we included the add ons of a night drive, walking safari, and Maasai visit. The days were perfectly planned and well balanced and Bujo was flexible in making some suggestions to slightly alter the plans on certain days to make sure our preferences were taken into account.
Our guide (Justin) was fantastic! He was super knowledgeable and informative, had great instincts (which allowed us to see two wildebeest river crossings), and of course eagle eyes that gave us the most amazing sightings. We saw pretty much everything we wanted to see (apart from the elusive rhino!) and just had the most amazing experience that made the nine days just fly by. We had a large 4x4 vehicle with an open roof top that was very spacious and made it easy to see animals from all angles.
We choose to do camping and Bujo provided us with a spacious tent that we could stand up in that we set up for us at each camp site. Some of the facilities of the campsites were better than others but overall it was a really cool experience sleeping out in the bush and being able to listen to animals at night. The food was also great - we were never left hungry!
Everything ran really smoothly and honestly could not recommend Bujo tours enough as they really gave us an incredible holiday.
