Sensational!
I organized my entire trip in Tanzania with Chuke Adventures and i couldn't have made a better decision.
My guide Alprince came to pick me up at the airport, on time and warmly welcoming. From that moment, he took care of me through the entire journey. He was available for everything i needed, friendly, reliable and professional.
Chuke Adventures organized for me a cultual trip to visit Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, offering me a great experience. I didn't have to think about anything, the service was amazing.. and for a very fair price!
I would reccomand it to everyone.

Ask for Kasaine tour guide!
We booked with a local company called Hyrax and had a great experience . Our guide Kasaine was a Maasai and he knew all the parks inside out . He was very attentive and made sure every thing was perfect at all times. His time mgmt was excellent and bathroom breaks and knowing where to go to see what animal. He was friends with everyone and everyone knew him. We did a 9
Day safari (private) and went to a number of
Parks(5) but Maara
Was the best . We stayed in great lodges all booked by the company. We had no idea what to expect and we loved it all. Kenya safaris are amazing and we will
Be back! We saw everything we came to see and so much more!!!!

Incredible Serengeti safari
The safari in the Serengeti was absolutely magical. Definitely once in a lifetime experience. Kendrick and the team looked after me and provided excellent services. This included airport transfers to and from the airport and my hotel, everything that you could need while on the safari and support across the entire time in contact with the team. I went on a 4-day safari that included 2 days in the Serengeti, 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater and 1 day at Materuni Waterfalls. I opted for a shared safari and therefore was grouped with 6 other travellers who had a similar itinerary and made some lifelong friends. Our driver Paul was amazing, had over 10 years of experience and was super knowledgeable about the animals, the land and all the skills required for a safari. There wasn't a single point in time where I didn't feel safe, nor did we go hungry or thirsty.
The company is very flexible to customise safaris to cater to your needs, so just let them know what you are wanting and they will do their best to incorporate it into your safari. There are varying levels of safaris and accommodation types, ranging from camps to lodges for different budgets. Overall, it was an incredible experience with excellent service. 10/10 from me.

Masaai Mara is beautiful - book at least the 3 day tour
I booked the two day budget tour (starting and ending at Nairobi) and it was not enough time to experience Masaai Mara - highly recommend booking at least 3 days to get one full day safari in Masaai Mara. On the first day of the tour, we spent a long time waiting for the company to sort out the seating arrangements for everyone in each of the 4 x 4 land cruiser/van (there were three vehicles). We ended up in the van with a pop-up roof which was fine (but we were originally sitting in the 4 x 4). The ride to Masaai Mara was fine, we got there after a few hours and were able to have a fantastic evening safari (our driver was great!). Please note that we had a brief lunch stop (15 mins from memory) along the drive, it was not as per the itinerary where they said we'll have lunch at camp.
The next day, the morning safari ride was only 2 hours long because they said we have to be back at the main gate to switch to the van to go back to Nairobi. On the itinerary, it says drive back to camp for breakfast after the morning safari but we had to pack our bags in the van before the safari as we were not coming back to camp. After the safari, it took us at least 8 hrs to get back to Nairobi because we had to switch to 2 different vehicles (three all up), which was a giant time waster as we had to wait around (it took us 8 hrs from Masaai Mara to Nairobi).
We stayed at Miti Mingi Eco Camp, which was not great. The bathroom attached to the tent smelled and was not in the best condition. The roof of the bathroom was also not netted off so there were a lot of mosquitos in the bathroom waiting for us. The shower was also not great, the water was really hot so we could only shower with a trickle of water to avoid the scalding water. I'm glad we only booked for one night at that accommodation. I would suggest a mid range accommodation or the Jambo Mara lodge if possible. We have stayed at other permanent tented accommodations (e.g. near Kruger Park, Okavango Delta, etc) and the condition of Miti Mingi Eco Camp was the worst.
Bobu Africa makes commendable efforts to help its customers fulfill their safari aspirations.
Safari in Africa hinges on three crucial factors: the season, the guide, and a touch of luck. Bobu Africa boasts an experienced team, each with a deep-seated passion for animals. You can trust them implicitly to go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction.

The full experience on Okavango Delta
My first experience in Africa couldn't have been better with this team, I felt safe, had everything I needed and more. Comfort and good times were daily offered.
The guides had a deep knowledge of the terrain and the wildlife, we found every animal, even the less common ones, it's like they can feel them. Every question was answered satisfactorily, the anecdotes and stories by the fire at the camp were amazing, you couldn't get enough of them. The support team provided incredible food throughout all the tour and the accommodation was perfect to be safely in touch with the environment.
Would highly recommend this company for anyone who wants to explore Africa, even hesitating first timers! Budget friendly, ideal for families, friends, couples, suits everyone!

Amazing and tailored experience!
I contacted several agencies and I am really glad I found SOD. Erick, our guide was very responsive and helpful from the beginning. He designed an experience based on our interests and budget. We choose a 6 day tour with several game drives.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Karatu, and Materuni Village.
I was amazed at the number of animals we saw, very close as well. Erick was great to spot some animals and birds and very good at explaining everything about their behaviours. He answered all the questions we had. He graduated from university in tourism and wildlife conservation, so he has many insights and important information about the place and the animals. But also a real passion to share about his country and share the best energy!
The food and accomodation were very good as well. We chose the mid-range accomodation, the places were very comfortable. The lodge at the Serengeti was unique with beautiful sunsets. At Karatu we stayed at a monastery, were we felt very welcomed and it is nice to support the local community.
We visited the Masai and also the Chaga in Mataruni were they gave us delicious traditional food and made coffee from the bean to the cup.
There were plenty of snacks and drinks all of the 6 days. And we were also very happy with Justine our driver who was very good at driving and kept us safe. The roads are bumpy but the car was quite comfortable and it is nice to have a good driver and guide.
I could not recommend SOD enough! We leave with the most wonderful memories of Tanzania and we can't wait to travel again with them. Thanks again, Erick, Justine, Simon, Elizabeth and everyone who made our trip smooth and unforgettable.
