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!

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 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!

Phenomenal
5/5

We dreamt and Kojuu Safaris delivered !! Our 10 nights 11 days Tanzania vacation planned and executed by Judith and team was like a dream come true for us. Judith is excellent at listening to your needs and crafting an itinerary with experiences and stays that you have in your mind. Everything is planned to the T - right from the pick up at the designated hotel / airport to the airport drop off. All our stays through out the 3 national parks were outstanding in terms of location, room, amenities, luxury, comfort, people and food. I would describe our trip as wild outside, luxury and comfort inside.

Peter, our guide was phenomenal. His experience of 15 years of knowing the national parks and its animals well, helped us spot all the animals we wanted to see which included the Big 5 obviously. Very polite and always smiling, he took utmost care of us during the 7 days we were with him. Best part of the trip was the safari vehicle which was our home on wheels and which was cleaned every single evening by Peter. Incredible job by him in doing so cos we were traveling to a new destination every day. He ensured the fridge was stocked with water, soda and beer ! On the last day of our safari, we were all tired and exhausted and wanted to go back to the tented lodge after an unsuccessful day at watching the wildebeest crossings. But Peter insisted on showing us a cheetah and a leopard and what a sighting that was ! Thanks to him we got up close view of these 2 beasts when we had given up all the hopes !

We would like to thank Kojuu Safaris for making our first African Safari wilder than our imagination and have us wanting come back for more. Please go with Judith and team with full faith and look no further for your Tanzanian adventure.

From start to finish, an incredible experience with an incredible tour guide and company! The BEST!
5/5

We did a 4 day safari starting at Tarangire then Serengeti for 2 days and finishing at the Ngororo Crater. We were greeted at the airport by Justin who was incredibly warm and friendly. The next day we started our four day trip and were met by Naaman at our hotel. What a guide! He was incredibly knowledgable, we could ask him anything about any of the animals, the country, people, landscape, anything and he always gave us an answer. As well as that, he was always giving us information along the tour without us asking, it was great. He made us feel so welcome and comfortable throughout the trip, was super friendly and a great laugh! Thank you Naaman for everything, seriously! The best guide we could have asked for and we have definitely made a friend with you!

From the time we booked our trip, Judith was so helpful, easy to get hold of and just made everything so easy and stress free. Whilst we were in Tanzania we also liaised with Anitha who we met at our hotel when we arrived. Like Judith, Anitha was super easy to get hold of, very helpful and just made everything easy! Thank you both!

I couldn’t recommend Kojuu enough, from start to finish it was a 5 star trip. There was nothing that could have been better.

Thank you for the perfect honeymoon Kojuu!
