They put together an amazing holiday for us, no complaints at all.
This was a high end safari experience and it was amazing.
Kojuu, with Judy at the helm planned the route and stops so we saw a range of different landscapes and their inhabitants, starting at beautiful Tarengire, with elephants galore... then on to Lake Manyara in a stunning lush forest, then a lengthy drive to the Serengeti with the most varied game in the central area, culminating in the Western Serengeti where huge numbers of wildebeest were gathering and starting to migrate Northwards..We loved every park and would not have skipped any of them. Only regret was not having more time in Tarengire and Serengeti. It was tiring moving so much but Judy ensured we had 2 nights stay in both lodges in the Serengeti which allowed a recharge - and some laundry ( very efficient, back the same day beautifully folded and smelling great!)
We had the same driver/ guide throughout, Justin, who was excellent at spotting and identifying animals and birds as well as navigating the parks and some challenging driving conditions on some of the tracks. He was also great company, we all had fun together and by the end of our stay we saw him as our friend.
Our accomodation was without exception, excellent, including the initial overnight in Arusha at Gran Melia hotel, but highlights were Tarengire elephant Springs, and Lahia tented lodge which had an incredible location on top of a hill with panoramic views of Western Serengeti dotted with wildebeest.... We would definitely choose to stay an additional night here if we came again.
After our safari we were returned to Arusha and flew to Zanzibar for 3 nights to have some relaxation time. We would highly recommend the Mnarani Marine Turtles Conservation Pond where we paddled with and fed the recuperating green turtles there.
However we would not recommend trying to swim with dolphins- far too busy, seemingly unpoliced to protect both the dolphins and the tourists. We asked to leave.
We would also advise anyone considering a beach stay at Zanzibar that the beaches have sadly been very eroded and there was just a sliver of sand really at our resort hotel, Nungwi Dreams ... Maybe other areas are better?....Although we still managed to swim in the turkoise sea there and there was plenty of relaxation space by the 2 swimming pools.
The kojuu team and those on the ground meeting us at airports and taking us out on tours were always where they said they would be. No matter that our flight to Zanzibar was 2 hours late, or we wanted to change the time of our Stonetown tour, we were greeted with smiling faces and told that it was entirely up to us. Justin always gave us a choice on the game drives where possible - whether we wanted an all day drive or early start then some downtime before an evening drive. And he would ask what we wanted to try and see and do his best to accomplish that. He knew what could be found in different regions of the various parks we visited and we did see the Big 5, and a whole lot more. A very early start at Ngorogoro crater was definitely worth it - much quieter and we did get to see 2 rhino which had disappeared by mid morning. Not to mention the lioness sat on the roadside on the way in...and the beautiful morning light.
On " cheetah day " in the Serengeti, we saw 8 cheetahs! Last sighting was a mum supervising a training opportunity with her largely grown offspring chasing a Thomson's gazelle right in front of us..
And a leopard pair tucking into their kill and napping in a tree together.
On " lion day" as requested, Justin came up with a very close encounter with a huge male and his 2 lionesses... And later on the same day another similar encounter with a larger group as we neared Lahia in the lovely evening light.
Although there were times when there would be a queue of cars around a sighting ( as with the leopards) Justin would give us as much time as we wanted so we often remained when everyone else had left. And he was great at heading to quieter areas of the parks so we were entirely on our own with those lions, and with a group of amorous elephants at Manyara..( it was the breeding season..) and with only 1 other car for the cheetahs. We also shared a strong interest in bird spotting and with Justin's " eagle" eyes identified around 65 different species in total!
Service everywhere was outstanding. The people of Tanzania were bright, cheerful and accommodating, always doing their best to ensure we were enjoying our experience whether they were serving us dinner or escorting us safely to our lodge after dark. We had several singing greetings either on arrival or departure and an unexpected anniversary serenade and cake at The Lions Paw lodge in Ngorogoro...
All in all a wonderful and stress- free holiday, very well planned and managed by the Kojuu safari team. We would definitely go with them again if we return- and we really hope we will. We loved Tanzania and it's people.

The best possible operator to find big cats
Harun went above and beyond to give us the best possible safari experience, each and every day. We saw all the big cats, including a number of leopards and saw multiple wildebeest crossings. Our trip through multiple parks was beyond our expectations thanks to the network Harun has established. A humble nad hard working operator that will not dissappoint

A luxury safari filled with heart, surprises, and unforgettable moments
From start to finish, this safari with Kojuu Safaris Africa was beyond anything we imagined, a truly VIP journey filled with unforgettable moments and incredible care.
First, a heartfelt thank you to Judith, a truly remarkable woman. Her kindness, attention to detail, and warm personality made us feel so special every single day. She went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless, joyful, and full of surprises. Her presence made all the difference, and we’ll never forget her.
And then Justin, our fantastic guide, so knowledgeable, calm, and passionate. Thanks to his expertise and by the grace of God, we had the incredible chance to see the Big Five. Every drive with him was a lesson in nature and a moment of pure awe.
Kojuu also surprised us with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a gesture I will cherish forever. And our first night at Lemala, they organized a surprise celebration for our wedding anniversary, a moment so touching it brought tears of joy to my eyes.
Kojuu Safaris is more than just a tour operator, it’s a team that puts heart and soul into creating once-in-a-lifetime memories. We recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a truly luxurious and emotional safari experience.

Service and experience was 10/10
It is important to have a driver who knows the area well, especially in the Serengeti. We had our drives through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater are like large conservation lands / drive-through zoo where you are bound to see animals every 5 metres. It is a must see (eg we only saw rhinos in Ngorongoro Crater). We also saw the most elephants that quite literally grazed our vehicles, they were that close. Serengeti is a must see - this is what you would imagine a safari to be like. You may not see any animals for an hour because of how large the Serengeti is (or animals to get excited by). That’s why it is important to have a driver that knows the lay of the land. We highly recommend Peter. He is very experienced and we were always one of the first 3 cars to get to see a cool animal (eg leopard). It’s great to be one of the first to see the cool animals before all the other vehicles come.
We think 4 days is more than enough as it can be very tiring in the vehicle (we were driving all day). It’s actually amazing how Peter could drive the whole day but be so alert for any animals out there. This was really needed as we would sometimes find ourselves falling asleep in the car (the gravel roads / “African massage” really puts you to sleep).
The vehicle was really comfortable, felt safe, was always clean, always had cold drinks and snacks, the lunch prepared by Kojuu on the first day was *chef’s kiss*. Every other lunch was prepared by the hotel/lodge you stay with just FYI. Pete also knew some of the good places to get other more traditional food which we tried (we were scared) but so glad we did because the food was amazing! A little better than the lunches that our hotels packed.
We unfortunately caught the cold on the last day and we needed medicine. Pete was able to find the medicine we needed for non tourist prices.
Again, please try and get Pete! The service was unmatched. Couldn’t have had a better trip.

Unforgettable once in a lifetime safari with Kojuu Safaris!
Our trip to Tanzania with Kojuu Safaris was absolutely incredible from start to finish!
The preparation was seamless - Judith, the owner, was amazing. She took care of every little detail, making sure our itinerary was exactly what we had envisioned. She checked in with us regularly and ensured that everything was perfectly arranged.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our guides, Patrick & Abdul. These two are simply outstanding! Their knowledge of Tanzania, its wildlife, and nature is truly remarkable. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the journey, and we couldn’t have asked for better guides.
We stayed in the most beautiful lodges, experienced unforgettable activities (the Serengeti balloon safari was absolutely breathtaking; a true once-in-a-lifetime experience!), and the Ngorongoro Crater left us speechless. We returned home with SD cards full of incredible memories, it truly was a dream come true.
A huge thank you to Judith, Patrick & Abdul, you made this journey unforgettable! We hope to see you again in the future!
Highly recommend Kojuu Safaris to anyone looking for the adventure of a lifetime! If still in doubt - do it! You will regret it otherwise ;)

BEST WEEK OF YOUR LIFE
I am not someone that normally writes reviews but I felt I must share my amazing experience. From start to finish I could not recommend Kojuu safaris more! Patrick was our personal guide and he was incredible. From the day he picked us up from the airport until 8 days later when he dropped us off he made sure we had the most unique, exciting, luxurious, comfortable, fun experience. Patrick made us feel that he genuinely wanted us to experience the best safari we could have. He went out of his way looking for animals ensuring we had good spots to take photos of animals. Because of Patrick our safari adventures was filled with endless animals sighting and unique experiences.
Judith was amazing at responding to emails when booking the trip. She helped me individualize the perfect safari for my husband and I.
Initially, when booking a Safari, the choices are overwhelming. Stop and book with Kojuu safaris. They will give you the experience of a lifetime.

Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo Safari.
How do you choose a safari company? Well, I discounted travel agents as I wished to organise everything myself. Then many companies don't book solo travellers and some reviews are better than others. I came across Kojuu Safaris and Judith in the office was so very helpful and answered all my questions so graciously. The itinerary suited me and the price was reasonable so I booked with Kojuu Safaris.
I was met at the airport in Arusha and taken to the hotel before beginning my 5 day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo National Parks.
Patrick was the driver/guide and Abdul his assistant. Patrick was experienced and so very knowledgeable and they were both wonderful companions on the trip. Patrick had the knowledge and knack of finding game and was often among the first to arrive at spectacular scenes. Even in Ngorongo Crater he was early to arrive at the appearance of the very rare Black Rhino.
The accommodation was perfect and overall I would give Kojuu Safaris 10 out of 10 and I am now in the process of recommending them to friends who are contemplating safaris.
Well done Kojuu you will always remain in my heart. 🤗🤗🤗😊

Simply amazing, attention to detail, safety, and an unforgettable experience.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari Experience
Our honeymoon safari with Kojuu Safari was nothing short of magical, with thoughtful personal touches that set them apart from any other safari company. From the moment we landed in Tanzania, we knew we were in excellent hands. Simon greeted us at the airport with flowers to celebrate our marriage, immediately making us feel welcome and safe in a country we'd never visited before.
What truly sets Kojuu Safari apart is their attention to detail and personalization. They went above and beyond by customizing our safari vehicle with a photo of our dog on the doors - something no other company does! They even coordinated with our hotels to ensure our honeymoon was celebrated throughout our stay. These special touches made our trip truly unforgettable.
Judith crafted an itinerary that perfectly matched our wishes and remained flexible throughout, adjusting plans based on our feedback. The full-service experience was seamless - from airport pickup to having a dedicated guide and driver throughout our entire Tanzania adventure.
Speaking of guides, we couldn't have asked for anyone better than Haruni - seriously, he’s the BEST. His extensive knowledge of the parks and wildlife, combined with his professional driving skills, made us feel completely safe while ensuring we had the adventure of a lifetime. His expertise led us to spot not just the "Big 5," but also countless other fascinating animals we'd never even heard of! His passion for wildlife and dedication to giving us the best possible experience was evident every step of the way. We really enjoyed spending time with him.
Kojuu Safari doesn't just offer a standard safari experience - they create personalized memories that last a lifetime. Their commitment to making our honeymoon special, combined with their professional service and attention to detail, made this trip exceed all our expectations. If you're looking for a safari company that goes the extra mile and truly cares about creating a unique, personal experience, look no further than Kojuu Safari.

Incredible
My wife Dianne and I chose Kojuu for the Tanzania leg of our honeymoon and are so happy that we did. Our safari guide and driver, Peter, was excellent. He was a highly skilled driver (necessary on muddy, unpaved roads!), very knowledgeable, and consistently surprised us with his ability to spot animals in the bush and in the distance. Over the past week, he was super caring, made sure the vehicle was spotless, and had a great network of fellow safari guides to make sure we saw all the best animal sightings. This was while making sure we were precisely on schedule. Asante sana Kojuu and Peter! Thank you for making this leg of our honeymoon so memorable.
