Astounding Safari Delivered (Again!) by Bobby Tours
Our second safari with Bobby Tours was more magnificent than our first, beating our high expectations from our first tour pretty handily!
We are budget travellers and did the 4-Day Tanzania Budget Camping Safari this time (we had done the 5-day in December of 2021). The tents are large enough for my wife and I and pretty comfortable, the campgrounds well maintained, especially satisfactory to my wife who was okay with the bathrooms. We had requested John as our driver and Miko as our cook since we became friends from our last trip; Kassim, director, Bobby Tours managed to get them both for us. We like to rough out a bit on our safaris and avoid "luxury" options because we want to be as close to the Serengeti as possible. Bobby Tours make Serengeti unforgettable and keeps us wanting to come back. Thanks a ton Bobby Tours, much appreciated and we will be back as soon as we can!

wonderful experiences on Safari
Our guide in Tarangire, Serengetti and Ngorongoro was Julius. A real professional, with great knowledge about animals and nature. Julius is a passionate man. Thanks to him we saw amazing animals and got to know the Maasai culture.

Professional, empathetic and 100% helpful
From the very first moment Ali made us feel in good hands with him, he understood our needs and desires and organized everything accordingly.
They also provided as a gift a photographer who would travel with us during the whole 4 day safari to take pictures of our safari honey moon!
Our guide and drive (also him, Ali) was a 10 out of 10, huge knowledge and great personality, and he could also speak Italian!
The whole honey moon, including the remaining days in Zanzibar, was like a dream.
I would definitely recommend them!

Reliable and Accomodating
My itinerary: Mt Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam!
Bobby Tours made my experience a wonderful one and I will definitely use them again. They were very understanding and accomodating from booking till the end of my trip! Ali made booking very seamless, Eric the driver was very nice and was kind enough to go the extra mile by helping me with little errands and recommending places I could see and visit. Khalid & the team (Francis, Kevin etc) my Kilimanjaro guides were very helpful. I felt safe and well taken care off as they asked me about dietary preferences and made sure I had all i needed for the climb. Even though I never made it to the top due to Mountain Sickness, I had such a wonderful time and will use them again.
The only issue I had was after booking it would have been nice to know what the baggage policies were for the domestic flight/ferry and give the client the option to pay for extra luggage especially considering most people flying in internationally are used to carry 2 free pieces of luggages. It was an expense that was not scheduled for and I would have rather charged that to my card or taken out cash in anticipation.
All in all I was well taken care of and had no complaints as the value for money and the service of what I got was perfect!

Incredible!
An incredible experience sharing the safari with them. A guide with a sixth sense for finding the animals, a photographer with a beautiful eye and a cook who prepared delicious dishes. If we could do it over again, we would do it with them.

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.
