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.

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.

Amazing safari trip
My partner and I decided to book a trip after arriving in Arusha. Bobby Tours managed to arrange our 4 day Safari trip within one day. The managers Kassim and his father were most welcoming and transparent.
On top of that, their services, packages and prices are clear and competitive compared to other agencies we visited.
During our private trip, we were in the company of a guide Philemon and a chef Musa. Philemon was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions on Tanzanian culture, the animals, traditions and Swahili language. We really enjoyed the 4 days with him as a guide. Moussa the chef managed to prepare very tasty breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
On our way back we had some issues with the car tires. As we had a flight booked directly at the end of our trip schedule, we missed our flight. Kassim immediately provided the best service after notice to ensure the continuation of our journey, by arranging a taxi, a beautiful hotel and new flight tickets for the morning after. We could not have been assisted better at that moment.
As we had an amazing safari experience, we would highly recommend booking via Bobby Tours if you are looking for a reliable and transparent agency.
And for the Dutch people: every year Kassim and his father are at the Vakantiebeurs in Utrecht .. If you have the opportunity to visit, it is definitely worth it!

It was awesome.
We had good communications with Mr. Kassim. Mr. Ally, Driver cum Guide had good knowledge of the Park, Animals and Games. He was disciplined, but need smiles on his face. The Lodges where we stayed are nice and comfortable properties, the great thing for our family was that the GMs of both the Lodges are Indian and know me as I am also from Hotel Industry. I suggest to get complete details of the package sothat there is no conflict later on.

Brilliant and a life long memory.
It was a real good experience for all of us. We had lot of confusion before selecting Bobby Tours and frankly we were not sure whether we are taking the right decision. But from the time of arrival at Kilimanjaro it was a wonderful experience. We did not have to struggle for anything and all the services and comfort were provided. We enjoyed every moment of our full trip and the places where we stayed are superb. Even when we found after reaching the airport that we forgot our binocular in the vehicle we informed Kassem and he immediately arranged to deliver it to us at the airport. We will whole heartedly recommend this Bobby Tours for anyone who is planning to have a trip in Tanzania.

Thanks again for the wonderful memories!!
We have been in safari ' Tanzania Rustic Safari Tented Camp Adventure' for 4D/3N with Bobby Tour in September 2017.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti National Parks, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Every national park has a different plant cover and a different animal population.It was amazing experience to see the Big 5 and many other animals with the help of our wonderful guide ' Daniel'. He was very kind and was able to answer every question we had.
The accomodations were great and the meal was delicious.
Many thanks to our driver / guide 'Daniel for all the fun and spotting all wildlife and many thanks to Kassim for the amazing organisation.
I would highly recommend to anyone coming to Tanzania to get their trip organized by Bobby Tour.
Thanks again for the wonderful memories!!
