Reliable company, excellent guides and chef, amazing safari and competitive price
Excellent and reliable family-owned company with international standard. We booked with them a 12 days photographic safari of northen circuit. MR Murtaza helped us planning our dream tailor-made trip with deep knowledge of tanzanian parks and accomodation. Our guide, mr Amani, with professionality made any animal sighting possible, and with patience let us enjoy the best scenes the parks can offer. The food and the smile of the chef mr Miraji added an extra touch of joy in our days. Not last, price was very competitive for the offer, the land cruiser and the camping equipment was in perfect condition. Strongly recommended

a great safari
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Bobby Camping Safari!
From the very first conversation, Murtaza was very attentive and perfectly adapted to our needs. We chose to go on a 10-day safari in a tent, a unique adventure that allowed us to discover all the major parks of northern Tanzania.
Our guide, Samuel, and our cook were remarkable: attentive, professional, and always at our side to make the trip perfect. The 4x4 was very comfortable, and we were able to take the time to observe the animals in ideal conditions.
The meals were excellent throughout the trip, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
This safari will remain etched in our memories—an extraordinary trip that we will never forget.
A huge thank you to the entire team!

One of the best vacations of our lives with Bobby and his team, thanks!
The offer and booking procedure was simple and clear, we paid the full amount in advance. In Tanzania, we were welcomed by friendly and helpful people in the person of Bobby the owner and Amani our guide. During the entire 5-day trip, we felt safe, there were no problems with cleanliness or hygiene. We stayed in comfortable tents and lodges, which were in nature, we heard the wild animals every night. We saw a lot of the country and the people, we got a good insight into life here. And what is most important on a safari: Amani our driver and guide did everything to make sure we got the most out of the parks, we saw a lot of animals up close. We are satisfied, I can only recommend Bobby Camping Safari!

A great local experience.
The guide was knowledge and always offered to stop when needed. The food was beyond amazing. The only thing I would recommend it make sure the power outlets in the vehicle work before leaving. Ours didn’t along with the fridge. Everything else was great.

Good communication and an experienced and thoughtful guide/driver
We did a standard safari in Northern Tanzania (standard, with one additional day which is not as common - Lake Eyasi to visit local tribes). It was our first and we were with our two twin boys of 7 years. So we were slightly worried about number of unknowns. Even when planning, through an agent, we could state our preferences and there was a positive response whenever available. Once we got in touch with Murtaza (the boss) just ahead of our travel, all went well. Communication was great and cheerful, responses clear and thorough. When we got to Tanzania, it only improved. Geoffrey, our guide and a driver, is an experienced, kind, understanding, etc. And he has an interesting quality of being able to sense what his group wants, often even without saying it out loud. For example, we took a less beaten road, without crowds, but with a risk of not seeing the big hits. We preferred that, going sometimes alone in the wilderness, and we got some very positive surprises - there is a huge difference between spotting bunch of cars, getting there, and seeing an animal surrounded; and driving by couple of rocks alone, spotting something move ont he rocks and discovering it is a lion cub watching you with interest. Geoffrey's approach to our kids was excellent - he was patient, attentive and allowed the boys to get excited about all that was to see.

Unforgettable experience!
We did a family trip to Mount Meru and also an 8-day safari with Bobby Camping, and we had an amazing time! Everything was perfectly organized and we were able to enjoy our holidays in the best way possible.
Our Mount Meru trip, led by Innocent, was truly memorable. Our crew was very caring. They helped us when needed, prepared everything, checked our health status, and even carried our backpacks when we were tired. A huge thanks to the whole team for this amazing experience!
The safari was also great. Thanks to our driver Amani, we were able to see plenty of animals, some of them really up close. He is the best driver, and he has deep knowledge about the parks and animals. The food throughout the whole trip was also delicious.
Overall, we highly recommend Bobby Camping to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Tanzania.
P.S. Thank you for fulfilling our request and including the park walk in our itinerary. We will never forget the trek with the ranger and the views of Ngorongoro, as well as the walks with Benson around Mto wa Mbu.
Very professional
Renting à car to organize my own safaris is impossible in Tanzani unlike Southern African countries.
I finally entered Budget car office in Dar es Salaam and met Ali and his wife who organized a car and a driver to Arusha via Tanga to visit a friend and introduced me to Murtaza from Bobby Camping safaris.
MURTAZA organized my five days safaris including accomodations to Parks like Arusha, Serengetti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire .
Not only were we initially received very nicely by his entire business office staff but daily telephone follow ups ensured everything went along as planned throughout our trip.
I relied on a very experienced seventy year old driver who knew perfectly his way around and where to find animals.
Either in hôtels or luxury tents accomodations, everything was perfect including food.
We even slept in a tent with Roaring lions in the vicinity.
We saw many unforgettable animal scenes and are very greatful for all advice and attention given to us.
I thank Ali and Murtaza for being devoted to what they do best ie Organize Safaris in details i a very friendly and professional way.
Do not hesitate working with two great individuals you can trust

Friendly and reliable
We went om a 7days safari combining driving to the Ngorogoro crater and walking several days through the bush to Lake Natron . We had a lovely but demanding week. The crater gave us lots of meetings with impressive animals and the walking gave us insight in nature and the lokal population. We saw plenty of different bird species on our walk. You need to be used to trekking and sleeping in tents but nights together with our guides and the Masai guards were magical. Our cook, Kitoi, made us wonderful meals. Part of the trip we had Company with the Ranger Allen. He was worth his weight in gold with his perfect english, great knowledge about wildlife and good spirits.

Unforgettable 6-Day Safari with Bobby Safari!
We had an amazing 6-day safari experience with Bobby Safari. Our guide, Godfrey, was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced — he always knew the best spots to find the animals, which gave us unforgettable memories and truly beautiful photos. His expertise made every game drive exciting and meaningful.
Our cook, Miraji, was also fantastic — kind, helpful, and dedicated. He woke up early every day to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner, even under challenging conditions like campsites without electricity or proper kitchen facilities. The food was always delicious, and we truly appreciated his hard work.
Bobby himself was kind, welcoming, and very supportive throughout the trip. When our flight to Arusha was canceled last minute and we had to fly to Kilimanjaro instead, he kindly arranged a return transfer from Kilimanjaro Airport — even though this wasn’t part of the original agreement. That thoughtful gesture meant a lot to us and really shows how much he cares about his guests.
We also want to highlight that Bobby gave us a great price — much more affordable than many other safari companies we checked — without compromising on quality. The service, guiding, and organization were all top-notch, and we felt we got excellent value for money.
👉 Important tip: Before your trip, make sure to go through the itinerary and package details with Bobby carefully. Confirm what’s included — especially in terms of accommodation (camp, lodge, hotel) and drinks (water, soft drinks, alcohol) — so expectations are clear from the beginning.
We highly recommend Bobby Safari to anyone looking for a memorable, well-organized, and personalized safari experience!
📝 Note on tipping: In our original offer, it was stated that tipping should be a minimum of $10 per person per day. However, we later learned that the common norm is closer to $15–20 per person per day. It's helpful to clarify this in advance so you can plan accordingly and show appreciation for the hardworking staff.
👉 For travelers from Norway: If you’re looking for a high-quality safari at a fair and reasonable price, we truly recommend Bobby Safari. You’ll be in good hands from start to finish!
