Amazing!!
5/5

This safari by far exceeded our expectations! We were taken care of so well the entire trip. The accommodations were incredible and our tour guide was amazing! From start to finish Kojuu Safaris made us feel at home. This has been a life changing experience and we would recommend Kojuu Safaris 100% to anyone planning a Safari excursion in Tanzania! Thank you Kojuu for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Judith was very responsive and made herself available for all my questions.
5/5

This trip was amazing. I saw everything I thought I would see and more. My guide, Harun, was the best. His 12 years of experience put us in the best positions to see it all. He was in constant communication with the other drivers, guides and rangers to get the best views and animal experience. I felt completely safe viewing all the animals.

The weather was perfect, I didn’t have an issue with the heat at all.

All the vehicles and hotels have USB ports.

There was an over abundance of food at the hotel and on the game drives.

The hotels have appropriate security.

I booked the solo 9 day safari and don’t regret it.

Lastly, Harun knows EVERYONE! It was such a pleasure to see him interact with all the people in the towns, gas station, entry gates and on the safari. He always asked how I (and my family back home) was doing and what animals I wanted to see for the day.

There are many options for safari, but my experience with Kojuu, Judith and Harun was 1st class.

Unforgettable trip that was tailored to perfection!!
5/5

From start to finish, the 8 day safari trip to 4 national parks my wife and I embarked on was absolute perfection. Not only was every moment flawlessly organized, but the staff was so kind and welcoming too. The owner, Judith, and her assistant Anita even went as far as to greet my wife with a beautiful bouquet of flowers once we arrived at the hotel! To add to this delight, Judith's quick problem solving was not overlooked. When my luggage was mistakenly left in Ethiopia, Judith worked her magic and managed to have it delivered to me the next day in Serengeti! We were in truly great hands throughout the trip.

A special shoutout to our tour guide Harun, who was knowledgeable, professional, and extremely experienced, yet so kind that he felt like a part of our family on this trip. His passion for the nature and wildlife is clear, and his wisdom enhanced every moment of our trip. Words can't describe how great he is!

I highly recommend this agency for anyone looking for a well organized adventure.

Kojuu Safaris is committed to customer satisfaction and willing to go extra miles to serve
5/5

This is the first time we went to Tanzania for Safari. We are very glad that we chose Kojuu Safaris to help us arrange this Safari trip. With their help, the trip was excellent and memorable.

Right start from the first contact with Judith, she was very responsive and professional. Judith is very knowledgeable. She could provide with all the insights about how to plan the itinerary, as well as recommendations on different accommodations. We at first were not sure of which hotels to stay in, she was able to provide us her thoughts on different experiences with different accommodation choices, so we could choose based on our preferences. The accommodations we ended up staying all exceeded our expectations, thanks to Judith’s advice. Judith is also super responsive to all my questions about anything regarding safari. Sometimes, I could be an annoying client due to my attention to very subtle details. But Judith kept patient and replied to my every smallest question. As she was pregnant later and her condition didn’t allow her to be as responsive as before, she even asked her colleague Anitha as her backup to help us. Anitha is the same responsive and responsible as Judith is. It is their tireless help and support that made our trip to be successful and memorable.

What touched me the most is Kojuu Safaris’s commitment to serve their customers and willing to go extra miles to make sure their customers to be well taken care of. When we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport, our luggage were missing from our flight. The luggage had all our clothes in them, which made my wife super concerned. While this was not Kojuu’s responsibility, Judith managed to get our luggage the second day and delivered to us the third day morning, with no extra charge. Her help minimized the impact of this incident to our trip. Another example is that our friends left one day before us in the afternoon, so they needed to stay with us in the hotel before they leave for airport. Judith was so kind to offer buying them lunch, so they could eat together with us. This shows how caring Judith was.

I would also like to give a special shout out to our guide Harun. He has over 10 years experience of being a safari guide. He is super knowledgeable and He also has eagle eyes. He could spot animals when we don’t even have a clue. For instance, he spotted a serval while he was driving and immediately pointed to us, so we were able to see this hard to find small cat. In Ngorongoro, he pointed to a small black dot far away and told us that was a rhino. We were able to confirm that with our binoculars and high zoom camera. We were amazed on how he could spot that with his bare eyes. Harun also kept our preference in his mind and tried his best to make us satisfied. With his help, we were able to collect the big 5 within the first several days of our safari. We were even able to see a leopard with her cub which is very rare to see. After successfully collecting the big five, Harun knows that we are interested in Cheetahs and river crossing, so he made every effort to find those and bring them in front of our eyes. With his help, we saw cheetahs couple of times (one time mama cheetah with her cub and another time two brothers) and an extraordinary river crossing. Harun’s commitment to customer satisfaction made our first safari trip to be so wonderful. We would highly recommend him to anybody!

When we planned our trip, we thought it was a once in a lifetime experience only. But now, we can’t wait coming back in a couple of years for another visit. This is all because Judith, Anitha and Harun and the entire Kojuu safaris crew. Their commitment to excellence and focus on customer satisfaction made our trip spectacular. Thanks to Kojuu, and we will be back!

Kojuu Safari provided an awesome safari experience- highly recommended!!!
5/5

We recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari adventure with Kojuu Safari,
and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the experience was meticulously crafted to ensure that every moment was memorable.
Anitha helped us with curating the itinerary and was very patient with our queries and multiple changes. She was very helpful and prompt at every stage of the booking and through out the trip.
We had an itinerary with 2 days- North Serengeti, 1 day- Central Serengeti , 1 day- Ngorongoro and 1 day at Tarangire with awesome accommodations mid forest..
Big shoutout to our Guide Harun, he was very friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable.
He was not only adept at spotting and identifying the various animals but also shared fascinating insights and stories that enriched our understanding of the natural world. Our Safari vehicle was in a good condition and comfortable and was loaded with lots of snacks and drinks.
Our accommodations were awesome and the food was excellent, even though we had dietary restriction( Vegetarian) there were good vegetarian options as well.
We were fortunate enough to witness Wildebeest migration, Big Five in their natural habitats, along with a myriad of other animals and bird species. Each game drive was an adventure, with new surprises at every turn.
Harun's ability to track and locate wildlife ensured that we had ample opportunities for close encounters and stunning photographs.
We got to witness some rare moments like Crocodile hunting Wildebeest during migration, Lions mating, Lion hunting Wildebeest during migration, Cheetahs mating.
The combination of expert guide, luxurious accommodations, delectable cuisine, and impeccable service made this a trip of a lifetime.
We highly recommend Kojuu Safari to anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure in the wild.

Don't hesitate to choose Judith.
5/5

I love Judith!
She's the best travel consultant I've ever had.
Traveling to Africa is a big decison for most people, so make sure you find a reliable partner. Judith is a reliable, professional consultant. It took me a month to prepare for this trip, and Judith was always ready to answer my questions and solve my problems.
After the official start of the trip, she actively contacted us every day to confirm our safety and make arrangements for our next step. I achieved almost every goal on this trip to Africa, thanks to Judith for everything she arranged for us.
If I have friends who want to travel to Tanzania,I would not hesitate to recommend Judith and kojuu to them.

Amazing!! Highly experienced, Reliable & Professional in spades!
5/5

Judith and her team at Kojuu Safaris have been wonderful from my initial enquiry until I confirmed I made it safely to my next overseas destination, after an amazing 10 day tour across Tanzania & Zanzibar. As a solo traveller, with specific travel dates, destinations and activities I wanted to see and do, the perfect personalised itinerary was created for me within 24 hours. I intentionally preferred Kojuu Safaris and Tanzanian owned accommodation options to support local Tanzanian people and businesses.
All payment transactions were done online securely via the Pesapal link provided with official receipts received before the tour started. This way I didn't make any card transactions travelling and carried enough USD cash safely on me for tips and hotel extras.
Judith made sure everything I requested was arranged for and all accommodation organised was of luxury level. At each of the luxury accommodation, all staff hospitality on-site and service was exceptional! My favourites:
1. for very thoughtful and personalised customer service was Acacia Farm Lodge in Karatu,
2. for exceptional amenities, spectacular rustic safari feel and luxury lodge experience (including the sound of roaring lions at night) was Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge and
3. for exceptional comfort, location and 5 star restaurant meals was the Lions Paw at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater. Even though its smaller, it is super warm, cosy and won hands down!
4. Breezes in Zanzibar was the perfect location to relax with friendly 5 star service and commitment amenities after an extraordinary week of amazing safari game drives.
The most important person who made my safari mission the best safari holiday anyone could hope for was my safari guide Peter! Peter knows all Tanzania road routes, timing on the road between destinations, puts safety first, is an expert 4WD driver in all weather conditions, is very humble, professional, polite, respectful, speaks fluent English and is highly knowledgeable about all animals and places ... with bionic vision! Thanks to Peter, I saw the Big 5!!!
A great example of why Peter is the Number One Guide to travel with: After a night of torrential rain in the Serengeti where we were at risk of not being able to cross 4 rivers, we came across other guides bogged in the mud, pulled over on the side of the road with overheated car radiators, one struggled with a flat tyre and one was stuck in a creek of overflowing rain water where 2 hours before I was filming hippos in the same spot! Peter had asked me if it was ok to help another safari guide with 2 young travellers (from Taiwan) stuck in the creek. Worried, seeing the situation and risks, I said 'yes absolutely, but how??', with high water levels, it looked impossible. While other locals standing, watching, and other companies driving past! ...Peter kicked into super hero mode without blinking and got them out safely (the tourists and the vehicle!!)

Absolutely Amazing Experience
5/5

Thank you so much to Judith and Godwin for this unforgettable experience!
From the moment my wife and I were picked up at our hotel, to the moment we were dropped off at the airport, our tour guide (Godwin) made it possible to see some of the most incredible sites in Serengeti, Tarengire, and Ngorongoro. He was able to navigate all of the parks with ease and had incredible insite to the animals behavior, which allowed us to get within feet of all of them. Godwin was also very polite, fun, and taught us about the culture/history of Tanzania and the locals.
From the moment we booked the tour, Judith made the entire process very simple and streamlined. She communicated well through txt and phone call and usually responded within an hour.
As far as the accommodations that Kojuu books on the Safari, these are must see hotels. All the staff were friendly, helpful and ensured our comfort at all times.
I highly recommend all travelers to book with Kojuu and experience these amazing adventures you’ll never forget. Thank you again Judith and Godwin!

Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari with Kojuu Safaris: Luxury, Wildlife, and Exceptional Service
5/5

Our 9-day Northern Circuit safari with Kojuu Safaris Africa was nothing short of extraordinary! From the beginning, Judith handled every detail of our trip with impeccable care and expertise, ensuring our journey was seamless and enjoyable. Her organization made everything worry-free, from booking exceptional lodges to planning our daily adventures.

Our guide, Haruni, brought the landscapes and wildlife to life with his deep knowledge and passion. His eyes spotted animals from miles away, and he shared fascinating insights into their behavior and the region's ecology. Thanks to Haruni, we witnessed lions hunting and eating water buffalos, tracked hundreds of zebras and gnus, and enjoyed breathtaking sunsets over Serengeti's plains. His dedication to ensuring we had a rich, immersive experience made each day unforgettable.

Judith organizing an amazing range of lodges that enhanced our experience at every turn. Each lodge offered a unique style, from eco-friendly camps that made us feel immersed in the wilderness to upscale accommodations with breathtaking views over the plains.

One of our favorites was in the Serengeti, where we stayed in a beautifully appointed tented camp with modern comforts yet felt perfectly connected to nature. Falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife and waking up to incredible sunrises right outside and zebras around our tent was surreal. Our favourite was the Signature Serengeti Luxury Tented Camp.

Kojuu Safaris Africa has set a high bar for African travel. We felt cared for, inspired, and genuinely connected to the magic of Tanzania. If you’re looking for an expertly curated, authentic safari with an outstanding team, look no further than Kojuu! Thank you, Judith and Haruni.

A brilliant first safari!!
5/5

Our experience with Kojuu was a genuine pleasure across the board. Knowing that there are so many options for safari operators in Tanzania, the attention to detail and quality of service of Judith (the owner) and her staff was second to none.

Our trip began directly from Kilimanjaro Airport in Arusha where we received a warm welcome by Haruni, our guide and driver for the next six days. Stepping out of the airport, we were met with a surprise personalized embellishment on our car (we were celebrating our honeymoon on this trip) and birthday flowers for one of us (whose birthday it was that day). Kojuu took so much care to ensure that our special occasions were not only acknowledged, but actively celebrated across any of the camp & experience operators involved with our trip. Outside of the safari, we wanted to mention Festo for assisting us in our Arusha pickup— he was full of joy and enthusiasm and a delight to be around for the short time we traveled with him.

Haruni has been a safari guide for over 12 years and his experience and groundedness made us feel we were in great hands. He took deliberate care to take our energy and desires into account as we planned out each day. He was deeply knowledgeable about everything we asked— be it about the animals, Masai culture, the political history of Tanzania, and so much more to fill in the edges of the safari. That in itself made the trip so memorable and our appreciation for Tanzania all the more robust and nuanced.

In total, we’ve come away with knowing that there are many ways to experience Tanzania, and it’s vital to have a company who has great relationships to the best camps, knowledgable guides, attention to detail, and quality of service. Choosing Judith and her team at Kojuu was a great decision, and one we highly recommend for anyone interested in exploring the wonders that Tanzania has to offer.
