Memorable
After researching several safari companies, we were very happy that we chose Kojuu Safaris. As a locally owned company, they provided a private, 10-day mid-luxury safari for three senior travelers that exceeded our expectations.
Our sales contact, Julian, listened patiently to our many requests and preferences throughout the planning process. He met us the day before our safari began and welcomed us with a dozen roses, Kojuu t-shirts, and hats before conducting a detailed briefing. This meeting helped us fully understand our itinerary, which included Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Central and Northern Serengeti. Julian also arranged special birthday celebrations at each of our four lodges, making the trip even more memorable. We stayed at Elephant Springs and the Four Seasons Serengeti, both of which were outstanding, along with two other lodges.
I highly recommend arriving at least two days before starting your safari. After a very long flight from the United States, this extra time allows you to adjust and recover. Jackson, in town driver, met us at Kilimanjaro International Airport and was always punctual, professional, and a joy to spend time with. During one of those extra days, we took a fascinating tour of a coffee plantation where we learned about the organic production of coffee, bananas, and vanilla. It was a wonderful experience.
On our third day, we met our private driver and guide, Humphrey, who accompanied us throughout the entire safari. His genuine passion for Tanzania, its wildlife, and its culture greatly enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the country. Humphrey was incredibly patient with our many questions and requests. We never felt rushed, and he always seemed to know exactly where to go to observe wildlife while respecting the animals and their environment. One of my top priorities was avoiding crowded wildlife sightings, and thanks to Humphrey, we rarely encountered other safari vehicles.
I cannot emphasize enough how important Humphrey was to the success of our trip. His enthusiasm is infectious, and he is an exceptional driver. The roads, often referred to as the "African massage," are rocky, unpaved, and far more challenging than I had imagined. Humphrey drove hundreds of miles safely and confidently. During our long game drives, he continually found incredible wildlife, including four lion prides, cheetahs, zebras, elephants, giraffes, and countless other animals.
One of the highlights of our trip was an unforgettable hot-air balloon ride over the Northern Serengeti, where we witnessed the Great Migration. September was the perfect time to visit, and seeing the vast landscape filled with thousands of animals was truly breathtaking.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kojuu Safaris and especially suggest requesting Humphrey as your guide. He is kind, patient, highly knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about both the wildlife and culture of Tanzania. This safari was memorable beyond our expectations and a trip we will treasure forever.
Exceptional!
Our 10-Day Great Migration Safari – Mid Luxury Tour with Kojuu Safaris was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The itinerary covered Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, the Central Serengeti, and the Northern Serengeti, and the pacing was perfect. We never felt rushed, and our guide adjusted pickup and return times based on our preferences — a level of flexibility we truly appreciated as seniors.
Prior to starting our game drives, we chose to have two extra days in Arusha to acclimate to Tanzania’s time zone and enjoyed a fascinating tour of a local coffee plantation. We also opted in for a hot-air balloon ride over the Mara River, which allowed us to witness herds of wildebeest and zebras migrating from above — along with unforgettable views of hippos in the river below.
Our guide, Humphrey, was absolutely exceptional! His knowledge of the terrain, wildlife, and bird species was remarkable, and his genuine love for Tanzania — its people, animals, land, and culture — shone through every day. He was considerate, personable, and knew the roads in each park like the back of his hand.
The wildlife sightings were extraordinary: a pride of lions resting after a fresh buffalo kill, a cheetah eating a gazelle, countless elephants, giraffes, zebras, and much more. Our safari vehicle was reliable and always stocked with drinks and snacks, making every game drive comfortable.
Kojuu Safaris also arranged a visit to a Maasai tribespeople’s village, where we joined in traditional dancing, stepped inside a dwelling, and purchased beautiful jewelry and wood carvings made by the women of the tribe.
All accommodations were lovely, with our two nights at the Four Seasons Safari Lodge being exceptional!
Kojuu Safaris delivered a truly unforgettable experience — professional, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the land. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Professional
I recently did the an 8 day Kilimanjaro tour via the lemosho route with Kojuu safaris. All bookings and contact were from Australia and the service and assistance was seamless. I am 70 years old and the guides and porters provided by Kojuu were excellent. Their confidence and encouragement enabled me to reach the summit. The airport transfers at the beginning and end of the trip, even at 2.30am was faultless.
I have no hesitation in giving Kojuu Safaris 5 stars. If you have to chance to get a guide named Omary Mduli, take it!!

Fantastic and reliable
My wife and I have just finished our 8-day safari in Tanzania, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.
Choosing Kojuu was actually not a difficult decision. Among all the safari operators we contacted, Jesca, our consultant at Kojuu, was the only one who took the time to carefully answer all of our questions and pay attention to every detail.
My wife and I are very used to traveling independently as a couple, so before starting our safari, we were honestly a little anxious about what it would be like to have a guide traveling with us throughout the entire journey.
But our guide, Hija, was absolutely amazing. He was not only incredibly friendly and easy to get along with, but also took excellent care of us throughout the trip. His knowledge of wildlife, combined with his passion, patience, and dedication to finding animals during the safari, truly made our experience so much more enjoyable and memorable.
If you are reading this review while planning your Tanzania safari, I can honestly say that Kojuu is a fantastic and reliable safari operator. And Hija is an absolutely wonderful guide! I would highly recommend asking for him if you have the opportunity.
I wouldn’t say that a safari is necessarily a once-in-a-lifetime experience, because I know for sure that I will come back to Tanzania again in the future. And when I do, I will definitely choose Kojuu again.
A huge thank you to Hija, Jesca, and the entire Kojuu team. Everything about our trip to Tanzania was simply perfect!
