Reviews
Kilimanjaro Asante Sana
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.

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

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.

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!

Customer focused with excellent service
You know a tour company is customer focused when they can set up a safari within hours of contacting them - even for a single person like I was. The overnight accommodation between Ngorongoro and Manyara they booked was world class.
Very happy with the driver/guide (Philemon) and the start to finish service. Thanks Bobby Tours.

Unforgettable experience in Tanzanian Safari with Bobby Tours
We spent an amazing and unforgettable time in Tanzania thanks to Bobby Tours. Kassim the manager was disponible to adapt our tour to our needs, and the planning was perfect: we saw a lot of things.
And our guide, Steven, was really nice and always motivate with positive energy. He knows everything about Tanzanian culture.
The lodges were beautiful, high quality and directly situated in the parcs, it was a perfect honey moon.
Thanks again!

Came as a client and left as a friend!
Our journey with Bobby Tours, from the climb on the 6 day Machame route of Mount Kilimanjaro, following the camping safari was an absolute delight.
The stunning views of Serengeti and Ngorongoro were made memorable by Mandelas team's knowledge and enthusiasm. We were able to see all the big 5 even though we opted for the rather short 4 day safari.
Bobby Tours' organization and attention to detail were very reliable and allowed us to enjoy our trip absolutely carefree. We highly recommend Bobby Tours for an exceptional adventure in Tanzania. Thank you, and the entire team, for an incredible journey!

Highly recommended safari operator in Arusha!
We booked safari in the office in Arusha. The owners who we met in their office were proffesionals and provided a high quality services.
We started from Arusha and spent 6 days in 4 parks - Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti.
The safari with Bobby Tours was a great and unforgettable experience. We did not expected that it could be so fascinating and well organized. Everything that the owners offered during our reservation took place and was well arranged. All activities were perfectly planned. The car was clean and at good state, the guide Julius was fantastic (speaks English), with huge knowledge and he could find the best places to observe animals. He was very helpful and always on time.
The accomodation provided in Serengeti lodges was perfect and of a very high standard.
The price was very reasonable and the program was flexible so that it suited our plans in 100%.
I highly recommend Bobby Tours!
