Trip of a Lifetime
5/5

Our safari trip was planned with another couple a year ago as we toured Burma.

We ended up booking 11 days – Arusha to Ngorongoro with overnights in Tarangire National Park, Lake Maynyara National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro and back to Arusha. And a last minute balloon flight over the Serengeti.
Everything went smoothly from pick-up at the airport to change of hotels on our last night when there was an electrical problem at our hotel in Arusha.

Our vehicle was a land cruiser with pop-up roof – with just 2 couples it was very roomy. It was in excellent condition as we were very thankful the last day when there was a flash flood and we had to drive thru very deep water while others had to be pushed by locals.

Our guide was Ally. His command of English is excellent and his knowledge of the wildlife was “off the charts.” And this includes all the amazing birds, beautiful flowers and very interesting and strange trees. I cannot say enough about Ally – he is brilliant, interesting and his patience - above and beyond – No request went unfulfilled – from stopping at a pharmacy for cough medicine to finding the big 5 which meant a black rhino that was close enough to photograph.

Highly recommend Bush 2 City and please ask for Ally – you will not be disappointed. We felt like we were saying goodbye to an old friend at the end of our safari.

Great safari with Bush 2 City
5/5



We did an 8 day safari with Bush 2 City that was excellent. We went to 5 national parks where we saw an amazing array of wildlife including about 10 lions, 5 cheetahs, a leopard, thousands of gazelles, antelope, zebras, wildebeast, 100s of elephants and hippos, lots of giraffes and countless birds. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and would stop whenever we asked him to but we really didn't need to ask as he was in constant contact with other guides in the area and would shoot off to wherever the wildlife was.The places we stayed varied quite a bit but that was dependent on what we decided. You can really spend whatever you want as you decide your level of stay.I highly recommend Bush 2 City as they were very responsive at every level of contact with me for about a year in the planning.

Fifty year dream came true with Bush2City!
5/5

I fell in love with Africa as a teenager. Fifty years later I took my first trip which was managed beautifully by Bush2City. Jackson Solomon, CEO, was exceptionally responsive to our requests. We told him what we wanted to see, gave him a budget, and he designed the perfect trip. He was very responsive to questions, and happy to do any tweaking we needed to do in order to fit our schedule.
He provided us with the PERFECT guide. I am not overstating. Our guide was extremely skilled, very knowledgeable, and lots of fun! After we all loosened up, we laughed our way across Tanzania.
We tried to stay in tented camps for the most part, which was a good choice for us. If you want to hear animals at night, and enhance your experience, this is the way to go. I never once felt unsafe.
We are traveling with Bush2City again in August 2019; going back to see more of Tanzania. In 2020 Bush2City will take us to Kenya.
I would let Bush2City take me anywhere!

A Safari Adventure of a lifetime
5/5

worked with Jackson and Ismail form Bush2City to put together a 12 day safari for my wife and I over a year ago. I indicated that there were some specific criteria that were important to me which was to see the migration and river crossings, see and photograph the big 5 and observe some animal hunts. They were very helpful in providing suggestions of parks to spend more time and where to spend less.
So finally after all the emails and chats our plan came to fruition in mid September. Ismail met us at our Hotel in Nairobi to go over details of our Safari and introduces us to our driver and guide James. The first part of our journey took us through the Kenyan countryside along the great Rift valley to our first stop at Lake Nakuru NP (2 nights) and then to Maasai Mara triangle (3 nights) at the beautifully appointed Serena Lodge. Our guide James knowledgeable, attentive and was amazing at spotting animals. By the end of the 5 days we saw up close and personal the big 5 (elephant, the critically endangered black rhino, buffalo, lion and the elusive leopard) with the addition of a pack of 5 cheetahs and all the other wildlife and birds. To top it off we were front and center at the Mara river to watch the drama of the wildebeest crossing with massive Nile crocodiles, lions and hyenas showing the realities of nature. At this point, the team from Bush2City had put check marks in all my criteria boxes and fulfilled my expectations. Very good since this was only half way through our Safari was only half done
The second part of our Safari was to cover the Serengeti in Tanzania. We had to make the long drive to Isibania to officially exit Kenya and enter Tanzania. Instructions from Ismail made this a simple process. Within 45 mins we were introduced to Danford, our new guide and driver on the Tanzanian side. James had done such a great job on the Kenyan side, Danford had huge shoes to fill.
The Tanzanian side of our safari would bring us fromh the northern Serengeti to central Serengeti, then off to Ngorongoro NP before ending in Arusha. I would say that Danford did not disappoint us. We were able to spot the big 5 in a different environment, watch how lions hunt and also observe a larger river crossing of the wildebeest. The additional touch that made this such a memorable experience for my wife and I was the hot meal that Danford put together for a wonderful lunch with tables, chairs under an Acacia tree on the open Serengeti plains. Ngorongoro also brought other unique experiences with incredible views for the crater from the Sopa Lodge.
The team at Bush2City, Ismail, Jackson, James and Danford were amazing and made my bucket list adventure an unforgettable and memorable experience. Thank you very much.
PS I had booked a short stay in Zanzibar on my own. Even though Bush2City's obligation ended at the Arusha airport, Ismail was helpful to put me in touch with their Zanzibar counterparts to arrange transportation. This helped me tremendously with getting around Zanzibar. Ismail even followed up to see if everything was ok. These are the small touches that makes working with companies like Bush2City so pleasant and will keep us coming back.

Amazing Safari through Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania
5/5

My wife and I are huge East Africa fans and had been visiting in August 2017 already. When we started planning this trip, we contacted about 5 Safari companies in Tanzania with the wish to combine Serengeti, Tarangire and a Chimpanzee National Park. In the beginning, we never thought about visiting another country besides Tanzania, but that quickly changed when Jackson from Bush2City quickly got back to us, not only with an offer, but with a few questions and a recommendation for our safari.

What we ended up with, was the best trip you can ever imagine. In Uganda, it included Gorilla tracking in the Bwindi impenetrable Forest, a stay at the beautiful Lake Mutanda, Chimp tracking in the Kibale Forest, the tree climbing lions in Queen Elisabeth National Park and a taste of Ugandan community life in Bigodi.
After a quick flight to Tanzania, we would enjoy the calving and Wildebeest migration in the Ndutu region of the Serengeti before heading over to Tarangire for a night game drive and a walking safari.

Our guides were brilliant, knew everything, even the birds and showed us their country as well as the their countries wildlife.

The accommodations all chosen by Jackson from Bush 2 City were very good and were all worthy of a story by themselves.

Last but not least, the price of this trip was less than the one we paid in August 2017 with a different safari company and which did not include half the highlights.

On the last day, we were able to meet Jackson and thank him for the incredible experience he had sent us on.

Believe me fellow travel: if you chose Bush 2 City Adventure as your company for your safari, your safari adventure will start as soon as you get in touch with them and you will have the trip of a lifetime.

A perfect Safari with kids
5/5

It was the second Safari for myself and my wife. This time with our kids (3 and 5 years old). We did a 4 day safari with Bush2city in Kenya (Masai Mara). Everything was very well organized, the tent camp was perfect (Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp), our kids loved every single thing.

A very special experience
5/5

Among the most special experiences in my life! Asante sana to entire Bush2City team in Kenya and in Tanzania.”

“We spent over two weeks with Bush2City. They went to our hotel in Nairobi where our safari began with a road trip on the Kenyan countryside along the Great Rift Valley on our way to Lake Naivasha. From there on to Lake Nakuru NP (to a lovely lodge), then to Maasai Mara (to a wonderful lodge), followed by a stay at a migration camp in the northern Serengeti in Tanzania and a subsequent one at another camp in the central Serengeti. From there onto the Ngorongoro crater (to very nice lodge), then on to a night in Arusha followed by a stay at a lovely lodge just outside Tarangire NP, on to Lake Manyara NP and finally to Arusha NP ending the experience with two nights in Arusha. Our Kenyan Guide-Driver James was excellent, spotted the big 5 for us in a short time and was able to get us first class seats at the wildebeest river crossing in Maasai Mara. Not to be outdone our Tanzanian Guide driver treated us to the big 5 too as well as a different river crossing of the wildebeest. Both were able to show us lion hunts or kills in action, or recent ones with the other participants in the food chain (hyenas, jackals, vultures, etc). What day was better? What experience was better? Impossible to say. Every day was very special, with drama, beauty, tenderness, strong emotions, sadness, anxiety and the realization of the complexities of life and survival. The entire team at bush2city were professional, polite, knowledgeable, and respectful of time and individual needs and desires and worked hard to make us feel comfortable, safe and ensured we enjoyed our experience. I highly recommend this small company that is always striving to improve and make your experience a bit more unforgettable. To the B2C team: James, Danforth, Peter, Jackson and Ismail, Asante sana. Natumaini tunaweza kukutana tena hivi karibuni.
Carlos.”
