Amazing!
We think that all was excellent. At first, we thought that we will have a problem with the change between Dollars and Tanzanian Shilling, because we only had tzs and they gave us the price in usd. When we arrive they had another price of change, but we can made a agreement and all was perfect. The guide was too kindly, he respect the times and was always friendly. We really enjoy this days with them!

What a life experience!
We did a 5 day safari and 6 day killi climb both with Bobby Camping Safaris. All details of both trip were precise and perfect. So many factors went in to both aspects of the trip and it was all seamless. Murtaza was excellent in his communications before and after our adventures. Jolie’s and Elias were perfect safari guides. Jolis was patient, happy, and easy going with our silly group. Elias were hard on perfect meals. On our climb aspect the team that was put together for our successful climb was amazing. 15 people helped support the 6 of us. Our guide, Mohammad, lead his team and provided us with a sense of security and success. Our assistant guides, Inno and Winna, provided a perfect pace and we all had a blast again with the sillyness of our group. The porter team was phenomenal. These guys carried our world all the way up the mountain, with each of them with a HUGE smile on their face. We appreciate all that Bobby Camping Safarisdid to make our experience in Tanzania amazing. HIGHLY recommend this company!

Second time using Bobbycamping
We went with Bobbycamping back in 2007 and again in Oct of 2020. They did not disappoint. Once again our safari and Kili climb went perfect. Their guides are supper friendly and knowledgeable. And as in 2007 everything went without a hitch. From picking us up at the airport to dropping us off we were in good hands. I highly recommend using Bobbycamping for not only for your safari needs but for your Kilimanjaro experience as well. Thank you Bobby camping. we'll be back.

Best experience of our life
We searched the internet for camping safaris and found Bobby Camping Safaris. We couldn't find a cheaper provider in terms of price, so we discussed everything by email and decided on the 8-day safari. We had to pay a 30% deposit. You have to pay the rest in cash on arrival. Since we didn't want to take so much cash with us, we transferred the full amount in advance via Transferwise. After landing at the airport, our driver Jolis picked us up. He greeted us very friendly, loaded our bags into the car and then drove us to the hotel. He was in a very good mood from the start and helped us with all our questions and problems. You can't imagine a better driver. The next morning we started with the first game drive and the first night in camp. Our expectations were exceeded after the first day. We saw so many animals and then we were surprised with very delicious and extensive food from our cook Elias. There was even a 3 course menu for dinner. We asked for vegetarian food and the cook implemented it really well. His dishes were delicious and creative. After the second day we decided to extend the safari for another day because we loved it. To do this, we spoke to the boss Murtaza briefly and he took care of everything for us. Jolis recommended us to stay one more day in the Serengeti National Park. He was absolutely right in his recommendation: on this extra day we saw many lions, a leopard and cheetahs. In general, Jolis is very knowledgeable about animals and also about African culture. You can ask him anything and he always has an answer ready. He's also very good at driving the car. He always asked if we were doing well and if we were feeling well. He treated us like his brother / sister. He has become like a big brother to us too.

Wonderful experience!
We did a 5 day safari with Bobby Camping and had the best time! From the moment I enquired last December with Murtaza he has been very helpful and accommodating. He arranged the perfect trip for us and it was brilliantly planned. From the moment our guide, Jolis, picked us up from the airport until he dropped us back it was fantastic. Jolis is a brilliant driver and expert guide and we had great fun in his company! Elias was our cook and the food was AMAZING! There was always loads to eat and very tasty.
We went to various campsites and everything was perfectly arranged and ran smoothly. We were keen to come despite the Covid issue, and Murtaza reassured us via WhatsApp prior to our departure from the U.K. that all was well in Tanzania. Luckily for us the parks were quiet due to this pandemic (not so good for locals).
I will highly recommend Bobby Safari to friends and family and would love to come again and wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Bobby Safari again! Thank you Murtaza, Jolis and Elias!!

Most beautiful experience
We booked Bobby Camping Safari in the Internet. The completion was very easy and we had the best offer from all other tour company. The whole trip was amazing. Our guide Jollys was very kind and he explained everything during the safari. He knew everything about the wilderness and the animals. The Serengeti tented Lodge was an amazing place to overnight (in the mittle of Serengeti). We felt like home thanks to him. The best tour guide we had, and probably we'll ever have. I truly recommend you the Safari tour with Bobby Camping Safari. It was the most beautiful experience in my life.
