Excellent and reliable!
A wonderful experience!
The tented camps were wonderful, especially the Serengeti Tortilis Camp.
Jimmy was a great driver and a special animal guide (the attention to the many bird species was greatly appreciated). THANK YOU!
The forced stops at tourist shops need to be reconsidered (perhaps a requirement of company policy).

Lost driver, broken down vehicle, waste of time.
Is a Serengeti Safari a trio of a life-time? Do you want to see the migration, the big 5, and enjoy a beer at the safari lodge after a good day? If so, don’t book with Bobby!
The first day the agency failed to communicate where the safari lodge was, meaning we drove for HOURS only to arrive exhausted and after dinner was served.
We never saw the migration, bad luck perhaps.
The 4th day the vehicle broke down, and we spent the day on the side of the road, enjoying waves of dust.
For your Serengeti experience, I'd recommend you choose any other agency!

Posted on Aug 14, 2025Dear Jeffrey,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re truly sorry that your safari did not go as planned and that you left feeling disappointed. We always want our guests to leave with only good memories, so we take your comments seriously.
Regarding the first night, the lodge you stayed at had changed its name from what it was known as earlier. This created some confusion for the driver, and we recognise that we should have double-checked the details with you beforehand. We will be more thorough in cross-verifying such information moving forward to prevent this from happening again.
On day four, when our vehicle unfortunately broke down, we immediately arranged for a replacement from one of our trusted partners so your trip could continue without much delay. However, we understand that there were challenges in getting along with the replacement drivers, which led to them leaving. We then arranged another vehicle through a nearby property, but the same situation occurred. Ultimately, it was your decision to fly out, and we respect that choice, though we truly wish we could have found a resolution together so you could have experienced the Ngorongoro Crater as planned.
Once again, we are sorry for the frustrations you experienced. We will use this feedback to continue improving our coordination and problem-solving, so future guests can enjoy a smooth safari from start to finish.
If you would like to reach out to us directly to discuss how we can further clarify and resolve this matter, we are lore than willing. It’ll mean a lot to us to know that you will be leaving Tanzania happily.
Warm regards,
Ali Abdallah

Fantastic Tour company, especially for solo female travellers
I just did a 7 day camping safari with Bobby Tours, and I don't know where to start! As a solo female traveller, I felt incredibly safe and well taken care of. Isiah, the driver, and Ramadan, the cook were so kind and helpful. We ate meals together, and they always made sure I felt safe and comfortable. Rama was an incredible cook, the food was so good, and he always made so much! And Isiah was the kindest human, we had so much fun on our game drives and in the evenings. We saw so many animals, and Isiah gave me all the time i wanted to take photos and enjoy the animals. Bobby Tours had great, clean vehicles, tents and supplies. The game drives themselves were fantastic, and both men were very knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend this company, tour, and guides to anyone, especially solo female travellers.

Once in a liftime unforgettable safari experiance
We had 4 great days at the safari. Our guide Malisa turned out to be very knowladgeble about the animals. I felt so safe driving us on dirt roads. Malisa was telling us jokes, he sang and was amusing us during long drives. Sleeping in tents was comfortable and warm. The food was very tasty. Lots of rice and fresh vegetables.

Unforgettable Safari Experience in Serengeti National Park
Dear all in Bobby Tour:
I had the most incredible time on my safari tour in some different National Park! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and breathtaking. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we saw the beauty of the park up close.
A special mention goes to our driver, Mr.Moses, who truly made our safari exceptional. His driving skills were perfect , navigating the terrain smoothly and ensuring we were always in the right spot for the best wildlife sightings. He was not only highly skilled but also incredibly friendly, attentive, and patient and on time.
I recommend strongly this tour for anyone looking to explore one of the world's most beautiful natural habitats. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I will never forget.
Thank you for an amazing journey

Excellent and Caring tour operator
Ali kept in touch with us throughout our travels with all of our concerns. We already have our next vacation booked with Bobby Tours, Arusha. The guide, Jumar Solemani, was superb and took the extra time to answer our endless questions. Thanks to Bobby Tours Travel and especially Ali, a true caring and expert professional.

There is none better!!!
Where do I begin! It was my wife and I’s dream honeymoon brought to life by Bobby tours. From the moment I contacted them I knew we made the right call. Ali made the process swift and easy, we painted a picture of what we’d like and he pieced it together life a symphony. The best thing is their willingness to accommodate your every wish. They go above and beyond to ensure your trip is picture perfect. Till this day we reminisce about the wonders on the safari, the beautiful resorts and adventures we shared. Not once did we feel they were burdened by all of our questions, in fact they appreciated our curiosity and we’re happy to give us every bit of information they could. If I could give 20/5 stars I would. If you’re contemplating visiting Tanzania soon you’d do yourself a disservice by not going with Bobby tours every time!!!
Connoisseurs of land, animals, nature and guests
The two of us booked 7 days with 4 national parks. The program was individually tailored by Bobbytour Chief Ali to our wishes: lots of time in parks, simple accommodation, own guide. It was exactly the right decision! It should be 3 nights Serengeti (we had public camp). It takes time to observe the animals and be in the right place at certain times. And we need a guide who knows these places and gets involved with us as guests and who recognizes, openly discusses and enables our wishes and interests. Leonard was that in every way. In summary: reliable, communicative, neat, punctual, at eye level, sympathetic and empathetic, extremely competent. Thank you! Our own cook, who took care of and host us in the camps, was also very nice and professional. We were amazed at what "Chef Yussuf" could conjure up on the simple equipment. Everything is freshly prepared and of the highest quality. Safari costs a lot of money, but the entrances to the parks make up a significant part and it is worth investing in cook, guide and organization (e.g. safety of the off-road vehicle). Bobbytours is a local provider with more experience and more favorable conditions than many competitors. Clear recommendation!
