Excellent
Had a perfect tour with our recommended driver jolis.
Everything was perfect, the tour, lots of animals, big five, the lodges were perfect for our budget and realy nice. Unforgettable trip.
Was sending half of the money before by transferwise and everything worked Like it should.

Good choice of budget safari
Reliable company which provides good service around Arusha. Their drivers knows the area of local parks well, are educated about animals and local nature.
Would def recommend them for camping safaris, the equipment is good - tents, furniture. Cars are in ok condition, chefs cooking nice meals. All 5*.

Great safari
The communication was excellent, fast and clear. Service had no fault: the drivers DO care about their clients, their cars and last but not least about the environment and animals. I had a great experience! Hope to go back!

Classic Tour with Bobby Camping
Six of us, friends, decided for classic route camping safari in Tanzania. We asked 4 different companies for the quotes, and then decided for Bobby Camping. Also inquired for shuttle from Nairobi to Arusha which Murtaza was happy to arrange for us. All in all, communication before the trip was in good quality, although we don't feel being complicated customers either :).
6 days itinerary included Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and it was fully completed with Bobby Camping.
Our guide and driver Jolis is a great and knowledgeable guy, always in time, easy to communicate, and also good learner - managed to pick up some foreign words and even sing with us!
Understandably, while camping and on the tight budget, we were not looking for gourmet experience, more like simple and filling food to keep us going. Miraji took care of that, and we never left the tables hungry.
All in all, I will recommend Bobby Camping to my friends in case they decide for the vacations in Tanzania.
All the best, keep going.

Wonderful safari with our guide Seif!
On April 2017 we travelled to Tanzania serengeti, ngorongoro, tribes and more. Seif from bobby safari company was our guide all along the way - a great private guide, driver and friend!! It was a great safari trip, we saw a lot, all the big five and more. We learned a lot from Seif, slept at the best lodges and truly enjoyed our trip (and our pictures).
The vehicle was also great and well equipped, cleaned every evening.
We met murtaza (bobby) in Arusha - he personally helped us get a sim card (although the store was closed - he had it opened for us) And helped us change our money.
It shows that he truly cares about his clients.
We highly recommend using Bobby safari company for an organized safari trip. They took care of everything we needed from a to z. Thank you!

Omg!!!!! Such an amazing time.
can't recommend Bobby Campaign enough. The trip was extremely well organized, everything was ready on time and to high standard. The staff, from the get go, were very professional and accommodating.
We had a fantastic time in all legs of our journey with Bobby Campaign, from Tarangire to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Thanks to our driver's resourcefulness we had the opportunity to encounter The Big Five, including ever elusive Leopard and, very rare these days, Rhino. Not to mention the large heard of Wilder Beasts crossing the river.
Both chef and driver (who doubled as a guide) were very knowledgeable and patient, ready to answer any questions we might have.
Food we have been served was delicious and portions were substantial (especially dinner).
When you book your safari adventure make sure to request Seyf and Mirage, they look after us very well :)

Awesome company to deal with, lifetime memories
What an amazing experience we had.
Bobbys attention to detail was there from the very beginning, from our initial contact to the final quotes. He was very particular in asking what we wanted to achieve and delivered exactly what we asked for. We were a group of 9, all vegetarians. And so you can imagine that our demands were quite varied and we needed to get that right. Very pleased to say that Bobby delivered that.
Initial enquiries were from London and we had several chats and telephone conversations via whatapp. Response was very quick even when I sent a message on Friday night UK time and it was 1am in Tanzania.
When we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted by one of the drivers at the airport who then took us to our hotel. Hotels were also booked by Bobby in Arusha for a days rest. We met up face to face the very next day and went through the itinerary again. Once again, very thorough and was exactly as we had requested.
We left for a 5 day/4 night safari in two cars, with probably the two best drivers in Arusha. Both Jolis and Seid were fantastic and throughout the safari, very patient and courteous. Thanks to these two, we managed to see all the major animals, including the big 5 and the illusive cheetah.
Would I use him again? YES !!! , without a shadow of doubt.

Awesome experience
Tanzania is the greatest place to be for a safari and the tour was made all the more special with our tour guide Jolly who made us feel secure and safe ..
He made sure that we were able appreciate the wilderness and the animals ..
Murthaza (the owner) given us all information related to Tanzania safari and quoted us the reasonable/competitive price. He supported all through our 6 day safari by keeping in touch with us about progress of the safari. He met us on the day of arrival and explained our tour itinerary.
Jolly made sure we see almost all possible animals. The highlight of the trip was taking us to see the migration in Mara river area wherein we were fortunate to see the river crossing of wildbeasts. Also he took us as close as possible to animals to have a better look.
Overall it was a great unforgettable trip which we never forget in our life time!!

Amazing Safari. Excellent Service!
Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to Murtaza (the Owner) and Jolis (Our Guide) of Bobby Camping Safaris! (Don't let the name confused u, they do all types of Safaris packages and not JUST camping!!)
I'm sure I'm not an easy client to deal with, I have children and I need everything well organised and close to perfect atleast!
I contacted Murtaza from UK, explained our needs and I have to say I'm very impressed with the level of service we received! Above all..I wanted to stay in Sopa Lodges both in Ngorongoro and Serengeti, the other tour companies I got a quotes from could not secure us rooms in these lodges, but Murtaza did! This meant alot to me!
I was concerned about the quality of the vehicle we would have as I know from previous experiences, vehicles do break down on rough roads and vehicle quality does vary from company to company! Murtaza again did not disappoint me. Our vehicle did not let us down and was allround in good condition!
I cannot praise Jolis, our driver and tour guide, enough!! The man is a STAR with impeccable time keeping (he does not work on "Tanzanian time" ie where lateness is the norm! ) He was knowledgeable, patient, very friendly, enthusiastic, confident, funny and above all an excellent driver who spoke good English! We came across some tricky roads and the guy manoeuvred his vehicle SO impressively!
What also impressed us so much was that Jolis was prepared to take us to places off the normal drive circuit, where it would have just been very easy to follow the crowd of vehicles and we would have been non the wiser! He took us to isolated places where we had private audience with some amazing animals. I'm also convinced that Jolis has eyes in the back of his head! He spotted animals in the most trickiest of places! I can't thank him enough for looking after us so well!!
Jolis wanted us to see the big 5 and he did not stop driving on those tricky roads until we eventually saw them! He clearly takes his role very very seriously! It felt like he got alot of pleasure in seeing us happy and providing the BEST service!
We were very touched and impressed that both Murtaza and Jolis turned up to meet us the day before our trip. Murtaza wanted to meet us personally and introduce Jolis to us. This to us said that Murtaza cares deeply about providing the best and personal service to his clients! Meeting them both then put my mind at complete rest!
If u want a worry free, trustworthy service then I highly recommend BOBBY CAMPING SAFARIS!!! With them you are NOT just a number, you are more of a friend then a customer!!
If u need to know anything else about our experience, please do not hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to talk to anyone about our experience with Bobby Camping Safaris!
THANK YOU MURTAZA AND JOLIS! You will always be our first choice for a safari experience in Tanzania! ️
