Second time using Bobbycamping
We went with Bobbycamping back in 2007 and again in Oct of 2020. They did not disappoint. Once again our safari and Kili climb went perfect. Their guides are supper friendly and knowledgeable. And as in 2007 everything went without a hitch. From picking us up at the airport to dropping us off we were in good hands. I highly recommend using Bobbycamping for not only for your safari needs but for your Kilimanjaro experience as well. Thank you Bobby camping. we'll be back.

Best experience of our life
We searched the internet for camping safaris and found Bobby Camping Safaris. We couldn't find a cheaper provider in terms of price, so we discussed everything by email and decided on the 8-day safari. We had to pay a 30% deposit. You have to pay the rest in cash on arrival. Since we didn't want to take so much cash with us, we transferred the full amount in advance via Transferwise. After landing at the airport, our driver Jolis picked us up. He greeted us very friendly, loaded our bags into the car and then drove us to the hotel. He was in a very good mood from the start and helped us with all our questions and problems. You can't imagine a better driver. The next morning we started with the first game drive and the first night in camp. Our expectations were exceeded after the first day. We saw so many animals and then we were surprised with very delicious and extensive food from our cook Elias. There was even a 3 course menu for dinner. We asked for vegetarian food and the cook implemented it really well. His dishes were delicious and creative. After the second day we decided to extend the safari for another day because we loved it. To do this, we spoke to the boss Murtaza briefly and he took care of everything for us. Jolis recommended us to stay one more day in the Serengeti National Park. He was absolutely right in his recommendation: on this extra day we saw many lions, a leopard and cheetahs. In general, Jolis is very knowledgeable about animals and also about African culture. You can ask him anything and he always has an answer ready. He's also very good at driving the car. He always asked if we were doing well and if we were feeling well. He treated us like his brother / sister. He has become like a big brother to us too.

Wonderful experience!
We did a 5 day safari with Bobby Camping and had the best time! From the moment I enquired last December with Murtaza he has been very helpful and accommodating. He arranged the perfect trip for us and it was brilliantly planned. From the moment our guide, Jolis, picked us up from the airport until he dropped us back it was fantastic. Jolis is a brilliant driver and expert guide and we had great fun in his company! Elias was our cook and the food was AMAZING! There was always loads to eat and very tasty.
We went to various campsites and everything was perfectly arranged and ran smoothly. We were keen to come despite the Covid issue, and Murtaza reassured us via WhatsApp prior to our departure from the U.K. that all was well in Tanzania. Luckily for us the parks were quiet due to this pandemic (not so good for locals).
I will highly recommend Bobby Safari to friends and family and would love to come again and wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Bobby Safari again! Thank you Murtaza, Jolis and Elias!!

Great 4-day safari
Fantastic 4-day camping safari with our guide Jollis who was so nice, easy-going, knowledgeable and helpful. We went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, found the Big 5 and more, including lion cubs, leopard and many cheetahs! We slept in a tent and our cook Elias made us delicious vegetarian meals. We were lucky to be able to travel during the pandemic so the parks and campsites were empty, such a special experience - even though we of course hope that tourism picks back up soon for companies like this who are doing a great job ! Thanks for a magical trip !

Most beautiful experience
We booked Bobby Camping Safari in the Internet. The completion was very easy and we had the best offer from all other tour company. The whole trip was amazing. Our guide Jollys was very kind and he explained everything during the safari. He knew everything about the wilderness and the animals. The Serengeti tented Lodge was an amazing place to overnight (in the mittle of Serengeti). We felt like home thanks to him. The best tour guide we had, and probably we'll ever have. I truly recommend you the Safari tour with Bobby Camping Safari. It was the most beautiful experience in my life.

Outstanding
Our trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Bobby Camping exceeded our expectations. Jolis, our driver, is such a nice guy and we usually had the best views thanks to him. We saw all of the big 5. Highlight of our trip was a large lion family hunting and hiding around our car. One of the cubs even tried to climb on the bonnet. We camped in the most beautiful nature and the food was simply excellent.

Perfect
Found Bobby Camping by Tripadvisor. Mail and Whatsapp Contact. Payed 1/2 of Price in advance from Germany to Tansania. In Tansania everything was ok, Driver was waiting on Airport, next day startet Safari. I can recommend Driver Jolis, he was perfect. Safari as decribed, Lodges:
Twiga Lodge was ok with a nice Pool, nice People, clean. Serengeti Tented Camp was very nice , good equipped Tents, very nice People, nice Restaurant and Bar, they accompany you by walking in Camp by night, because no fence. Rhino Lodge, good equipped with big Fireplace in Restaurant, nice Rooms. On Safari lots of Animals, all big 5.
All together it was a perfect trip, more than expected, can recommend Murtaza and Bobby Camping.

Extraordinary 9-day budget-camping safari with skilled and personal guide and chef
We've had an extraordinary camping safari holiday of 9 days, visiting Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, through which we were guided and tampered by our guide Seif and chef Moesa. Seif knew everything about the (numerous) animals we encountered in the parks, was a great spotter (and aware of photography needs) and arranged everything with a big smile. He clearly also enjoyed looking out for animals and driving through the beautiful parks, which really enhanced our experience. We ended up spotting the Big 5 (which is special in itself in one 1 safari trip), and enjoyed rare and dear encounters (an elephant chasing a small lion, a cheetah feeding her baby cheetahs by catching prey, a leopard up close and more). While we were out on Safari, Moesa always arranged nice breakfasts, lunchboxes to go or hot lunch for a break, and 3-course dinner in the evenings. We chose for a budget camping safari, so the accommodations were basic, but they lived up to our expectations well. Because our trip was in the low-season we had an almost private safari experience at the accommodations we stayed at. After the trip, Seif dropped us off at Kilimanjaro airport. We had a truly inspirational trip and would recommend Bobby Camping Safaris. Thank you Seif and Moesa.
