Our tour operator was amazing, providing a great experience, ultimate flexibility at a fair value.
Our experience included detailed discussions during the planning stages, both via email and Skype. Jackson was a very good listener, providing prompt, accurate and valuable feedback for a group of six individuals through one main point of contact. The tour was flat out, amazing! We saw so much, experiencing both the animals as well as the people, enjoying the wild as well as the cultural with the local villages and tribes. The accommodations selected were wonderful, a blend of luxury and comfort, as we had requested, but always comfortable with excellent staffs, fantastic food— a chef at every site ! The guides were great at animal spotting but also were kind and considerate, always going “ the extra mile” to make sure we were taken care of during our time in country, whatever our needs… I guess the real statement is… I would not hesitate to both recommend Bush 2 City Adventures, but I am planning on using them again!

Incredible Private Luxury Kenya/Tanzania Safari!!!
Me and my partner spent 13 days on a private safari tour of Kenya/Tanzania, organized through Bush2City Adventures and what an incredible experience it was.
We dealt with Jackson during the planning process, who was so quick to respond to all of our questions and optimize the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience on safari. He also provided guidance on how to obtain our Visas to enter Tanzania and Kenya and frequently checked in with us to ensure all our needs were met.
All of the guides we had were absolutely incredible. Nick took us around Nairobi on day one, then George took us to Lake Navaisha and Nakuru. Simon showed us the Masai Mara and Amboseli, and Nickson took us exploring around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
They were all very experienced guides, each with over 10-15 years of experience running Safari tours. It was incredible how they would spot the animals from such far distances. I really appreciated how they would give additional context as to why the animals were behaving in certain ways or explain key facts about the animals.
The game drives were all incredible and I appreciated how the guides really tailored the experience to what we wanted. Sometimes they would let us go for longer drives when we weren’t ready to go back, they always had a nice stock of alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages and often served us luxury hot lunches with wine or beer (which many other tour companies didn’t seem to do!).
Every game drive delivered some sort of new, interesting experience. We saw so many cool things like lion hunts, leopard bringing it’s prey up a tree, multiple Wildebeest river crossings (which was such a life experience to see!) baby rhino’s, baby lions, baby cheetahs, cheetahs feasting on a kill and the list goes on!
We also had a few add-on experiences to our package, all of which were just incredible. We visited the Giraffe Centre and Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi, as well as the Karen Blixen museum. We visited a Masaai tribe in the Mara, learning about how they live and their cultural traditions. We opted to do a hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara and in the Serengeti, we had a beautiful dinner set-up in the middle of the wilderness (which was scary, but beautiful and felt safe since they had rangers patrolling and monitoring the area around us).
Without these incredible and very knowledgeable guides, we definitely would not have had such an amazing experience. I’ll also say that Bush2City has very new, clean and well maintained safari jeeps.
All the lodges and camps were so luxurious with incredible food and stunning views. The people at every lodge or luxury tented camp were so friendly and provided just the most incredible service.
I truly felt like this Luxury Safari was the experience of a lifetime and I credit Bush2City Adventures for making that happen! I’ll definitely be booking future African tours with them again. Thanks!

Amazing & Very Accommodating
This was a trip of a lifetime! My dream since I was five! Jackson at Bush2cityadventure, made that dream come true for me. There were many emails going back-and-forth between me & Jackson. I’m sure I drove him crazy! But he was very patient with me, and took care of all my needs and answered any questions that I had. He helped me with any Covid forms, passport forms that needed to be filled out. I booked a 12 day trip to Kenya Jackson put together my itinerary. If there was something that I wanted to change, he would do it, no questions asked. He was very accommodating to my needs. He met me at the airport and brought me to Tamarind Tree Hotel in Nairobi. Every lodge, and tented camp I stayed at was absolutely amazing with breathtaking views! Every meal I had was delicious! My guide James was The Best! He met me in Nairobi and took me to my first lodge at Serena Sweetwater, in Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The place was magical! I spent 2 to 3 days at each Location. From there we went to Lake Nukuru, & Lake Navaisha,Then, onto the Maasai Mara! Words cannot explain what it felt like being there! Each Safari drive I went on with James, was awesome! The first day, we saw a pair of lions mating! James went above & beyond to find animals. He knew exactly where to go and had such knowledge of the bush & all the animals. He even quiz me on animal behavior! We saw Leopards, Cheetahs, Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffes, Hippos, Bushbucks, and much more! To see animals in their natural habitat, is wonderful! Amboseli was our last stop b4 going back to Nairobi.

Bush2City Adventure provided me with all my needs to create a trip of a lifetime.
During the months of Aug./Sep. 2021 we travelled to Loisaba, Amboselli, Ngorogoro Crater, the Serengeti, Masai Mara , Nairobi National Park and topped of the adventure with a trip to Victoria Falls. Bush2 City Adventures fulfilled every aspect of our trip. The guides were very knowledgeable, courteous and went the extra step to ensure this was a trip of a lifetime. B2C created a trip that gave us memories that will never be forgotten. The last minute hot air ballon ride over the Serengeti morning was an excursion that brought in a whole new aspect of the adventure. For a luxury Safari I fully recommend Bush2City Adventure. Oh, did I mention, all the guides spoke perfect English, and had the eyes of an eagle. Travelling by land cruisers with the top up, the African air and the bumpy trails gave you the Safari feeling never imaginable. The accommodations selected by B2C allowed you to sit back each evening and enjoy a meal never thought of and a bed that allowed you to drift off to sleep and wake up fully rested ready for a new days adventure. We saw wildlife I never knew existed. It was for sure a TRIP OF A LIFETIME!

5 stars, simply amazing
5 stars, simply amazing
I booked a solo trip with Bush2City for the 12 day Best of Kenya and Tanzania Safari. I had done a ton of research on various tour company options and selected Bush2City based on reviews from other travelers. This trip was stunning - I am a photographer and got so many amazing shots of the terrain and animals. It was truely a life changing experience. The Serengeti balloon ride gliding over the tree tops. Watching the elephants and the graceful giraffes. My guides, Jaime and Danforth, were kind, very well informed as I the one who asks tons of questions and both great people! They made this trip wonderful. Jackson was an amazing organizer! Highly recommend!!

Trip of a Lifetime
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
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!
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
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.
