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.

Kojuu Safari provided an excellent Safari experience.
5/5

I was very fortunate to come across Judith Siware of Kojuu Safari after perusing countless websites, recommendations from friends and other travel agencies, and query emails. Judith Siware, the travel director at Kojuu Safari was organized and thorough- providing a complex five day itinerary that included one day at Mount Kilimanjaro and four days at Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Her hiking experts Dickson and his driver Festo were exceptional during my hiking excursion to Kilimanjaro. During my safari excursion, my tour guide Elias was phenomenal- providing details of the animal behavior and the culture of the Maasai. I never thought that I would see as many animals as I did. The Safari vehicles were comfortable and allowed easy access for photography with pop-up roofs. The hotel selection and service was superb- even in challenging environments like Serengeti. Laslty, the food at all locations was excellent. I plan to recommend the staff at Kojuu Safari to all my associates.

Kojuu Safari is a distinguished tour operator, eminently meriting our trust and confidence
5/5

My companion and I are thoroughly delighted with the excursion meticulously arranged by Anitha on our behalf, and the journey to Tanzania has etched itself indelibly in our memories,from choosing the accommodation to arranging the guide, we were very satisfied with everything. Our guide Jephter was very professional and had rich Safari experience. He also showed us a lot of animals while ensuring the safety of the whole trip.

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.

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.

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!

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!!)

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.

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.
