very very nice holiday in Tansania
after a very very nice holiday in Tansania and on the island of Zansibar we are back to Germany. We enjoy to remember the very wonderful safari days we spent together with Moses. Moses has been an excellent driver and it has been not least his merit that the safari became a great and un-forgetable experience for us. We would like to send you thousand thanks for the good organisation – everything has flown smoothly. We told you in your office that we have already been 6 times to Kenia for safari. But this time is has been the best safari we ever had and we would like to ensure you: Our next safari will be with Bobby Tours again !!! Some guests in the hotel on Zansibar asked us about our safari and we informed them about the contact details of your company. Once more thank you and best regards from Germany

Best time in Africa
We would like to recommend Bobby Tours to everyone, who provided us with premium service and the most wonderful time in Africa. We spent 9 beautiful days in Tanzania, during which we climbed Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route (10 members of the group out of 11 successfully climbed). The next day we spent on Safari in Tarangire. Our group of 11 men rate this trip as the best of their lives. I have to commend all the people at Bobby Tours - the driver Julius who knew everything about the Safari and explained everything about Tanzania to us very nicely; the guide Boni who knew every rock on KIlimanjaro and made us feel safe; all the porters (hello Simon and others); the cooks and last but not least the manager Kassim for his first class communication. Thanks to Bobby Tours we had a wonderful 9 days in Tanzania. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will certainly be back.

Absolutely awesome tour, will do it again!
I was very clear on the kind of safari my son and I wanted to do. We are used to back country camping and we were looking for tents as close to the raw Serengeti as possibles. I spent quite some time and effort researching tour companies and rates. When Bobby Tours responded, my mind was made. Their response was short, direct and to the point; a simple bulleted itinerary and a price that happened to be the lowest in the 20 or so responses. All the other responders sent back various kinds of silly long PDF files and Word Documents that looked like sales brochures and also at least $300 over Bobby's prices per head. Further communications with Bobby Tours only reinforced my impression of a no-nonsense straight-talking company. And after the tour, my son an I can happily say Bobby Tours delivered exactly what they promised and more, and we got the Serengeti safari that we were looking for. The driver was amazing with 24 years of experience, he knew exactly what wildlife to find where and among numerous lions and the big-five we got a classic Mufasa-style lion on the rock photo (the rocks are called Kopjes, or "Masai Rocks"). Our cook was fabulous and caring. Tanzanian public camp-grounds in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro are perfectly acceptable to back-packing back country campers like us.

6 amazing days
It was a really good safari. The cars is good, comfortable. We had and issue with our car broken and lost 5 hours waiting, this is really bad. But the guide and the lodges are incredible. And the guide found lots of animal, it was unbeliveble

good but beware of car breakdowns
The staff were perfect. John, the safari guide, couldn't do enough for us. He knows the flora and fauna very well and allowed us to see all the animals we wanted. And mohammed the chef made us some very good dishes (we had the right to enjoy a delicious lasagna cooked without an oven).

Toppp
From start to finish, it was an enjoyable experience. Kassim and his father Bobby were always helpful in answering my questions.
Then my safari was conducted by a guide named Shafiq and I couldn't have hoped for better. Thank you very much! I recommend him.

Something incredibly unexpected
thank you for Safari organised by Bobby Tours, everything was amazing, we feel lucky especially with Julius our guide, he is experienced, concerned and cheerful guide, he was always happy to help us and talk to us about Tanzania, he was great at looking for wild animals even if sometimes they were really hidden or far, I cant imagine better guide than Julius. And we didnt expect such a good food neither, we were lucky to have Ima - the cook as well, he was making us happy with all the dishes he prepared.
Thank you one time more and I hope one day we will come back

This experience was wonderful
Bobby tours was very accommodating throughout the trip. The drivers/guides are very helpful and passionate about their job. Also, they are able to spot animals from a great distance. My safari trip definitely exceeded my expectations.

Worst Management, broken cars!!!
We booked the 4 Day Lodge Safari (Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater).
Our dream became a nightmare!
The Management is the worst I have ever had. On our first day we arrived at the office and the Manager Kassim already yelled at me because I didn’t pay cash and asked to pay by credit card. Then the tour started with an old car (dirty seats, no air condition, broken seatbelts and only 2 windows which could be opened). On our first day the driver had to fix the car twice. On our only day in the Serengeti the car broke down completely. The driver tried to manage everything. We’ve been standing around 4 hours in the middle of the Serengeti. Then the driver arranged a ride to the visitor center for us. There we’ve been waiting another 5 hours. The whole time we didn’t hear anything from Kassim. After calling him and asking what is going to happen because it’s been already 5pm and it normally took us around 2h to get to our accommodation. He apologized for the delay. I told him that this is not a delay! Because of the bad road conditions it took us 4h instead of 2h. So we had to drive 2h in the dark. This was not responsible. Animals had been on the road and we jumped and hurt ourselves because it was not possible to see the humps ahead. So the trip turned into a nightmare.
But it’s not the fault of the driver. They do their best and they have all the work. It’s simple the responsibility of the management to organize a good and safe! trip. But as the others already said he doesn’t care about anything (Customer, car, driver) once he got his money.
If you wanna have a once in a lifetime experience don’t go with this company!!!
