Perfect safari adventure - We did a 6 day Safari Tour with Bobby. We can highly recommend the Company. Bobby managed everything very professional and he is very flexible. We were sick when we... read more arrived - he took care about us, took us to a nice doctor and helped us !
Therefore he also managed to replan our safari tour, booked the accomodations accordingly to our new trip.
So he is doing everything for the customer.
Our safari- guide, Amani was the best one! He was very kind, accomodating and competent. He drove us to the best animal spots. We saw lots of nice animals (big five as well) - also Babies (Leppard, Chettah, Elefants, ). That was awesome. He knows the good spots.
I liked it to speak with him about the animals, Serengeti, history of it (Grzimek) and local culture.
We did the vulcano tour as well. Start: 11 p.m. for the sunset - it was absolutely worth it ! Guide Johann (John) guided us all the way to the top. We saw 3 Hyennas following us - Johann reacted very professional and kept the guys away from us. A real Massai !
We had a good time !

Sometimes it was a bit scary hearing the lions and buffalos fairly close to our tents, but we felt very safe on the whole and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience camping in the wild.
I greatly recommend this company, the communication and organization was very easy with the owner of the company and the price was very fair.
Thanks to all for the experience.

They have been delivering consistent quality service for over 20 years.

We had a really great time on safari to Ngorongoro and Tarangire with Amiri and Miraji! Both are lovely, friendly and humorous young man. Amiri drove carefully and helped us... read more to spot various animals and always a had some interesting fact about them to tell. Miraji prepared really nice (veggy) food.
The third day we visited a Masaai Village which was an interesting experience. They showed us around the village and the houses and also offered some jewellery to buy.. they danced and asked us to join which felt a bit uncomfortable at first but was nicely meant it is kind of a show for the mzungo but was still interesting to learn about their way of living
In our opinion ngorongoro and tarangire are perfect for a shorter safari.. you really see all the animals and we also heared that lake manyara isn’t so rich of them.
Overall really enjoyable experience and would definitely do it again with bobby and his team!
Wonderful 6 day safari. Our drivers and gides Amani and Joly were great. Very polite, we felt all the time big care of them. We saw all we expected and... read more more. We went to Tarangire, Hadzabe tribe, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manjara and Masai vilagde. Our gides did all there best that we saw everything, were punctual. Overnites we can chose according to our wishes. Overnight places in park were interesting, new experienses to sleep among the animals. I would not recomend to go to Masai village, becouse it is very comersial, but Hadzabi tribe people were very interesting to visit. We had 6 grate days in Tanzanija and saw big 5!
We did a 6 day safari with 6 family including our 4 yo granddaughter. Amiri our driver and guide was fabulous and very accommodating.

I would be happy to recommend Bobby Tours!
4 days Safari with children (10 and 12 yrs) in Tanzania - Terengire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara National Park - This was our first Safari. Everything worked as it should - pick up, car, driver, accommodation, return on time... We stayed once at Tanzania Bush Camp in Serengeti and twice... read more at Karibuni Crater Forest Close to Ngorongoro. We were mainly surprised how clean were the places and we had no worries about quality of the food. But at the end it’s always about people and we were superlucky. Our driver and guide Amiri was exactly what you would like to get - experienced driver, who knows the “right” places (quite often we were the first or second to see the animals before others), has knowledge about the animals and is respectful to them, very good relation to children, and, last but not least, has a good sense of humour:)
Safari family trip - We did a four day trip with our family to safari. Me, my husband and our three kids - 16, 14 and 12.
We visited Lake Manyara National Park, Serengeti... read more and Ngorongoro Crater.
It was really an amazing experience for us. We slept in the tents. The food was good, both Amiri (guide and driver) and Miraji (cook) were great companions. They stayed positive even if some unexpected complications (road accident by other car, but we needed to wait until the road was cleared) occurred on our way back.
Amiri was very knowledgeable about the animals, knew a lot of details and was able to see and show us really a lot. We especially liked the lions, giraffe and elephants.
We can definitely recommend this trip and experience.
Kilimanjaro family trip - We did a family trip to Kilimanjaro, Marangu route, 6 days. Me, my husband, and our three kids - 16, 14, and 12 years old.
I would like to... read more thank to all the team for great experience for us.
Bobby camping safari team lead by Innocent was very helpful. They set the pace for the walk for us, helped us when needed. Food was good. Our stuff was already on place every time we reached the hut.
All the team was positive minded which helped to make us feel better when we were tired. They kept track of our health status, to ensure that we avoid possible health complication, especially in relation to high altitude.
We all managed to reach the Uhuru peak.
Great safari - Recently, we have finished our unforgettable safari, and I have the best recommendations for the trip. Although our driver and guide Amiri drove us for 9-10 hours every day, the... read more time flew quickly for us, we didn’t get bored. The weather was perfect most of the time, cloudy with sun. We saw a lot of animals, it exceeded our expectations. We were shocked when Amiri recognised them hiding in the bush or in the tree. Amiri didn’t leave any hesitations about his professionalism, I think we were lucky to have him as our guide.

The trip was amazing and unforgettable. Well organized and planned, everything was on time from the first minute we met our guide Amani in the hotel in Arusha. The car was very nice and clean.
Amani was with us during the whole trip, and honestly it was a great luck to have him as our guide - such a professional, polite and patient person, always smiling and joking with us, he took a good care of us making our trip safe and pleasant every minute. During these several days he became a close friend to us and treated us like a family.
Amani was also answering all our questions about Tanzanian people , culture, nature, animals. So the trip was not only about watching but also very informative and interesting.
As for animals, we met almost everything we were dreaming to see (only leopard is missing): lions and lionesses (many of them!), cheetahs (we met 8!), hyenas, zebras, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, wildebeests, impalas, hippos, rhinos, baboons, blue monkeys, gazelles, antelopes, lots of different birds and so on. That was our dream for many years to visit Africa and Tanzania, and I could not even imagine that we would have such a great safari time here.
Thanks a lot Amani and Bobby camping safaris for your great job and these beautiful memories. Asante sana!
Next time we visit Tanzania for sure we will go again for this company. And I highly recommend to plan tours with this reliable company 👌 .
We are very thankful for all team for planned safari tour. Everything was awesome. We are very happy! Also, biggest thank you for our driver/guide Amani Elias Kirway! Very professional,... read more respectful and polite. Very clearly explained about visited places. Very informative explained about animals and birds. Very good guide!

Amazing experience with excellent service🤩 - Bobby camping safaris organised an amazing 3 day safari starting from Arusha and ending Mwanza. There was 4 of us and we started in Arusha, we met our amazing driver... read more Amiri, real nice guy and had extensive knowledge about Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We first went Karatu, and on the way there our driver recommended a spot to view lake manyara, which was beautiful as the view was nothing I had ever seen before. We reached our first stop in Karatu and stayed at this lovely lodge, where all food was provided. The lodge was excellent, providing exquisite food and a nice calm atmosphere. We then set out for Ngorongoro. The driver Amiri, was the most experienced driver I have ever seen, all the roads and decent into the crater is not easy and he made it look like a piece of cake. He was also very easy to talk to, and liked to make jokes which made us all laugh. Every animal we saw in Ngorongoro he stopped for us to take pictures, and also took us to see animals, we had only ever seen on TV, and seeing them in real life is a completely different experience. Amiri took us to see the lions in Ngorongoro, where they walked right past the car. We saw lions, zebras, wilder beasts, elephants, rhinos, monkeys and even more. Amiri drive us around Ngorongoro for hours and we really got to see everything there. We then set out for Serengeti, making a few stops on the way to see giraffes. Once we reached Serengeti we were greeted by a bunch of Zebras crossing the road. Amrita then using the radio found a place where lions were sleeping on the tree. We sat there for about an hour taking pictures, and then witnessing the lion fall from the tree, which even Amiri said is a rare sight. After that we proceeded to see even more lions, and hyenas. Amiri then found out that there was a leopard on the tree, and he immediately drove there. We then went to the Seronera lodge, which was amazing with great food, a swimming pool and an amazing view. Amiri then also took us out the next morning to whiteness the sunrise, which was the most beautiful and spectacular sights I have ever seen. After that we went around saw more lions, saw a hyena eating his morning breakfast. We then set out for Mwanza, and once we reached there we had to say goodbye to our amazing driver, which was difficult for us as we all had such good times full of laughter, and he taught us so much about all the different animals in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This safari was an experience of a lifetime which I will remember for the rest of my life, everything was well organised, and everything went smoothly. Amiri was by far the most experienced and funny driver I have met, and I cannot fault him and this whole experience in any way. I’d like to thank Bobby’s Camping Safaris for the unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend.🤩🤩🤩🤩
Best time on 4 day camping safari - We did a 4day budget camping safari with Bobby Camping Safaris in a group of 5. We had the best time at Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Park.
