Excellent budget tour
We booked a 3-day-safari with Bobby Tours in Arusha in November 2022 after inquiring about prices and options. We wanted to see many different parks at a low price. So we decided not to go to Serengeti as we had already been there (long ago) and it's a long way going there and back. But we wanted to go to Ngorongoro Crater (once more) although the entrance fees massively raise the price of a safary tour.
Mr. Abdallah, the boss, suggested to stay in a camp outside (Panorama Camp at Mto wa Mbu) and not in a national park to make it cheaper. So in our three days we went to Tarangire NP, to Ngorogoro NP and Lake Manyara NP.
Our driver-guide Sam was excellent in spotting animals and explaining animals, plants, people, culture etc.
Our cook Ema (Emmanuel) stayed in the camp and prepared really delicious meals three times a day (we did not get lunch boxes boxes as most of the other safari tourists but Sam spread a table cloth and put out plates and opened thermo-pots with meat, vegetables etc and always had a special dessert with coffee or tea for us in his big picnic basket...
We are very happy to have arranged and booked a tour with Bobby tours and can recommend them to everybody who is not so much interested in a standard wazungu tour because all of the people in this company, from the boss and his son Kassim to the driver and cook were helpful, caring and flexible. Thank you!

Very helpful which made it an amazing trip.
Bobby Tours really made our safari trip an amazing experience that we will never forget.
They knew exactly where to go in the national parks and were very informative about all the animals we saw.
Other than that, the food was great and the accommodation was arranged with no hitches.
Thanks again Bobby Tours for everything.

German level of reliability, Tanzanian level of friendliness, American level of efficiency
First, the biggest thank you and hat off to the guide - driver. His name is Moses, but by the end of safari, we called him the Big Mkuu (the Big Boss). Masterful in planning, execution and explanation. Also, friends with everyone, so information found him fast. We saw more than we wished for.
Second, come in hungry, the cook will spoil you.
Third, an extra star for reliability and attitude for Bobby Tours on every rating. Also, all thanks to their Slovenian partner company, ShaPPa, who organized this trip for us.
Finally, as we had an extra day to spare, we extended the safari to five days. Really, there is always more you can see.
A few words of advice:
1) Bring good binoculars and a good camera, you won't regret it.
2) Don't rush.
3) Listen to the guide. They know much more than any guidebook.
Best to all,
Anina and Marko

We were 2 girls climbing the Kilimanjaro and Kassim and his team took excellent care of us. We can’t thank our 2 guides enough, Joshua and Viktor. They and the entire team made this to a very special trip. Highly recommended to book with Bobby Tours.

We did 2 safaris in Ngorongoro and Serengeti, day trip to Kilimanjaro and Tarangire
We have booked safaris with Bobby Tours, the booking was easy and smooth. We had a very experienced guide, John, who did this trip more than 500 times, and made sure we could see as much as we could. We could 4 out of 5 big inc Rhino! in Ngorongoro.
We had some extra requests when arrived to Arusha like playing golf half day and balloon safari, which also arranged by Kassim/Bobby Tours without any problem.Overall we had smooth, very pleasant staying in excellent lodges thanks to Bobby Tours, Kassim. We highly recommend them for other fellow travellers.
