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!

Amazing Trip with Kojuu Safaris
We’re wrapping up our last night here in Tanzania, and wanted to write this while it’s all still fresh. This has been an incredible trip with Kojuu Safaris. Glory planned the entire trip and was very responsive throughout the entire process.
Leonard was our guide and he truly made the trip. We were impressed with his knowledge of the parks and the animals, and he knew how to be in the right place at the right time. Thanks to him, we got to see the wildebeest crossing the Mara River and a group of cheetah cubs — two moments that will stay with us for a long time. We also noticed how Leonard would stop to help other drivers along the way whenever he saw someone in trouble, which said a lot about the kind of person he is.
Accommodation wise, Glory had suggested Envi Sisini to us for Central Serengeti and it was a highlight in itself — such a great place to relax after a full day out in the parks. Also, the Miracle balloon ride over the Northern Serengeti was well worth it. Watching the plains wake up at sunrise from above, with animals scattered across the landscape, is an experience that’s hard to put into words.
We’ll definitely be back, and when we do, we will for sure be booking with Kojuu Safaris and asking for Leonard to be our guide again.

A truly amazing experience
We have recently completed an absolutely amazing safari with Kojuu. Janeth at Kojuu has been an amazing agent for us. She has dealt with every request and question I have asked. She adapted the booking several times to account for my requests.
Our driver guide, Armstrong, was such a wealth of knowledge and amazing at getting us to see everything we could have possibly wanted, and thinks we didn't know we wanted to see.
The holiday itself was an experience my wife and I've will never forget.
I would have no hesitation at all to recommend Kojuu, and particularly Janeth, to anyone.

Perfection at its finest
Safari of Love for our honeymoon …. From the initial point of contact with Losim all the way to the end of our trip with our guide Leonard the whole process was executed with absolute precision. I initially made contact with Losim and he curated a safari to suit our needs, He answered all my queries promptly and professionally. All transportation was arranged and we were greeted off the plane like VIP’s.
Leonard our safari guide greeted us in the Serengeti and we spent 4 incredible days together. He was knowledgable, professional and adaptable to our needs. We cannot thank you enough for the most incredible trip of a lifetime. Memories we will hold dear to our hearts forever

Incredible safari experience and absolutely amazing guide and agent.
Our 10-day honeymoon safari tour was amazing.
The itinerary was scheduled with Mr. Edson, and we worked through the details smoothly. I could always get fast responses from Edson before/during, and even after our trip. He also provided good quotes with detailed descriptions and nice pictures.
Our guide is Mr. Patrick, and he is a legend. As soon as we landed at Kogatende airstrip in the North Serengeti, Patrick drove us towards the Mara River, and we saw the whole process of a 500+ wildebeest and zebra crossing literally 30 minutes after the flight. Later in the trip, we saw big elephant groups, giraffes, lions mating/eating, cheetahs hunting, leopards sleeping in trees, and rhinos. We basically saw all those famous animals in the wild and many adorable lion, elephant, and cheetah babies. Patrick said we were the luckiest couple, but we give the honor to him. He is very friendly and experienced. As he talked to many other guides during those game drives, I could feel that he has a great reputation among the safari guides. He also took the lead in finding animals, especially leopards and cheetahs, which are hard to discover in the wild.
In general, very good experience, and definitely will try to arrange another trip in the future.

Unforgettable experience
From my very first contact with Glory regarding quotations for my trip, she went above and beyond, even arranging to have my jacket which I had left behind, delivered to Zanzibar. She was nothing short of exceptional throughout the entire experience. Her communication was always prompt, clear and professional. My 3days 2nights stay at Four Seasons Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was exceptionally well planned and organized. Thanks to my experienced guide, Erick, I was able to see lion cubs, leopards resting in trees, and, of course, the Big Five! He was very accommodating and great fun to be around, which made the safari even more memorable. A huge thank you to Glory and Erick for making my trip such an unforgettable experience.
