WOW WOW WOW!
What an amazing 4 days! We had such a knowledgeable, kind, passionate driver, who gave us tips, advice, and was fantastic at spotting animals! He was patient, allowing us to watch animals, photograph them and ask lots of questions!! We were so amazed at how many animals we saw! It was fantastic ! Such a great experience! The lodges were all wonderful, with kind staff and lovely rooms.

Fantastic
I highly recommend Bobby Tours and Safaris. I went on a 4-day Safari in October 2023 and everything went really well. The guide Julius is fantastic. Cheerful, hardworking, kind. Kassim, the owner, always helpful, provided us with all the necessary information and served us very well. I can't wait to go on a Safari again! ☺️

Best choice
For the organization of safaris, air tickets and hotels in Tanzania, I warmly recommend agent Ali Kassim from the Agency Bobby Tours Tanzania. I chose him from 10 agencies that had better ratings. But he was the most responsive and the fastest, at any time, even in the evening! Basically, all the agencies are probably the same in offering the service, but Ali's responsiveness paid off for me a lot when we found out that for the next stop on the trip - Kenya, we need a visa, but you can only get it online (and it takes up to 48 hours! ?), which is impossible with a mobile phone. Ali arranged the visa in an extremely short time! That's why, once again, a big thank you! You were really persistent and quick...

Amazing Diver/Guide and Landcruiser from Bobby Tours
My friends and I had the pleasure of an African Safari holiday organised by SHOOR AFRICA. The Tanzanian part of our holiday has Ali KIMBOI as our driver and guide from BOBBY TOURS. He made the holiday most social for us with his immense knowledge of the land and the variety of Flora and Fauna and History.
We would be soon coming back just to Tanzania for another Safari with for sure Ali as our guide.
Being a car enthusiast I have to say the Landcruiser we had from BOBBY TOURS for 5 days was the most comfortable and capable. Surprising , as all Landcruiser on safari look the same. We realised this after we switched vehicles in the Kenya border for the Kenyan part of our holiday .
The ride comfort of the BOBBY TRAVELS car was super special. I know being the owner of a similar car back home.
Thanks Ali and BOBBY TOURS for making the days spent in Tanzania the most special part of our Holiday.
You will see us again soon.

Perfect organisation and very experienced driver / guide
Bobby Tours provided great support in planning our trip. This was characterized by quick responses, proposals according to our needs & wishes and very reliable, cordial and attentive communication. Gasper, our driver, has 30 years of experience as a guide and driver and was very careful and spotted many animals for us that we would often have overlooked. This attention to detail meant that we didn't have to drive through the savannah at high speed like others, but were able to discover more and experience the flora and fauna more intensively thanks to the knowledge and patience of the driver. He was also very well connected with local people and was thus able to provide information, not only about the flora and fauna, but also about the country and its people. He was always unobtrusive and attentive. My photographic wishes were also taken into account and led to several more stops. We saw much more than expected - great experience! We can therefore recommend a safari with Bobby Tours without any restrictions.

Magic Safari
I contacted Mr. Ali directly from Italy and he helped me choose the most suitable safari for us.
We had already been to Tanzania 35 years ago and now we wanted a safari aimed at seeing the "Great Migration" of wildebeests and zebras in the Serengeti Park.
We also wanted to visit a group of Hatzabe, the bushmen who live in Tanzania, the last hunter/gatherers.
Excellent value for money.
Everything was perfect: our guide/driver Leonard, the cook Emmanuel, the choice of Camp Sites, the food (excellent, varied and plentiful), the kindness, helpfulness and professionalism of everyone.
Wonderful safari: in addition to the hundreds of wildebeest and zebras of the Great Migration that we saw in the area near the Lobo Lodge in the Northern Serengeti, we saw, thanks to Leonard's lynx eye, many cats even very close up.
The experience with the Hatzabe is also to be recommended: you spend half a day with one of their families and share their way of life by following their daily activities and going hunting with them.
It is not a show for tourists: the Hatzabe still live like this in the bush, hunting and gathering what nature offers.
Thanks Ali, thanks Leonard and Emmanuel.
Highly recommended
Kilimanjaro on Machame Route
I contacted Mr. Ali directly from Italy and he helped me choose the most suitable route for us to have a better chance of reaching the summit and choosing the right period.
Excellent value for money.
Everything was perfect: the pick up at the airport, the hotel in Arusha, the team of nine people who, led by Joshua, accompanied us to Ururu Peak 5895 masl.
Stunning landscapes, breathtaking nature (from the tropical forest to the Lobelias in bloom, from the giant Seneci to the lava fields and the glaciers of the summit).
Impeccably organized trekking, good and plentiful food, professionalism and kindness of the whole team.
Thanks Alì, thanks Joshua and thanks to the whole team
Connoisseurs of land, animals, nature and guests
The two of us booked 7 days with 4 national parks. The program was individually tailored by Bobbytour Chief Ali to our wishes: lots of time in parks, simple accommodation, own guide. It was exactly the right decision! It should be 3 nights Serengeti (we had public camp). It takes time to observe the animals and be in the right place at certain times. And we need a guide who knows these places and gets involved with us as guests and who recognizes, openly discusses and enables our wishes and interests. Leonard was that in every way. In summary: reliable, communicative, neat, punctual, at eye level, sympathetic and empathetic, extremely competent. Thank you! Our own cook, who took care of and host us in the camps, was also very nice and professional. We were amazed at what "Chef Yussuf" could conjure up on the simple equipment. Everything is freshly prepared and of the highest quality. Safari costs a lot of money, but the entrances to the parks make up a significant part and it is worth investing in cook, guide and organization (e.g. safety of the off-road vehicle). Bobbytours is a local provider with more experience and more favorable conditions than many competitors. Clear recommendation!

There is none better!!!
Where do I begin! It was my wife and I’s dream honeymoon brought to life by Bobby tours. From the moment I contacted them I knew we made the right call. Ali made the process swift and easy, we painted a picture of what we’d like and he pieced it together life a symphony. The best thing is their willingness to accommodate your every wish. They go above and beyond to ensure your trip is picture perfect. Till this day we reminisce about the wonders on the safari, the beautiful resorts and adventures we shared. Not once did we feel they were burdened by all of our questions, in fact they appreciated our curiosity and we’re happy to give us every bit of information they could. If I could give 20/5 stars I would. If you’re contemplating visiting Tanzania soon you’d do yourself a disservice by not going with Bobby tours every time!!!

Excellent and Caring tour operator
Ali kept in touch with us throughout our travels with all of our concerns. We already have our next vacation booked with Bobby Tours, Arusha. The guide, Jumar Solemani, was superb and took the extra time to answer our endless questions. Thanks to Bobby Tours Travel and especially Ali, a true caring and expert professional.
