Unforgettable Safari experience with highly knowledgable and trustworthy group
We planned our visit to African Safari from 25 June - 3 July 2017 and tied up with Bobby Camping Safari. Bobby Camping Safari arranged for all facilities including our pick up from the Kilimanjaro international airport, Arusha Tanzania visit to Lake Manyara Reserve, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater with boarding and lodging internal travel of Parks and Reserves with drop back to the airport on our way back to Delhi. The facilities arrange by Bobby Camping Safari needs special condemnation.
At the Kiliminjaro international airport we were received and welcomed by representative of Bobby Camping Safari Mr. Saif who was to be our Guide for rest of our African Safari tour. On the way to our first destination Manyara lake Reserve we were welcomed by Mr. Sameer of Bobby Camping Safari who assured us that our trip to Safari shall be our life time experience and wished us Good luck for African Safari. He made us comfortable by assuring that he will always be available on his phone for help in case of any discomfort during our journey.
Our entire stay was truly an out of this world experience, much better than what we could have imagined. The entire duration of the trip was very well planned and organised. Our stay at all the lodges was extremely comfortable. Being vegetarians we were a little concerned about food, which was taken care off very nicely.
We could move in the wilderness, so close to so many wild animals that it kept us excited on which animal might be siting around the next corner and prepared us more for the next day. We were able to capture amazing photographs due to the proximity the animals with our cameras so beautifully that it is unbelievable.
Our guide Saif was most knowledgeable about the animals and was able to spot animals with amazing ease and confidence, at the same time being most careful while driving in the National Parks. His ability of spotting animals often surprised. His knowledge about the birds of the area can be great asset to the bird watchers. Saif was extremely well-mannered, friendly and treated us like family.
We would personally like to thank Mr. Sameer of Bobby Camping Safari for making our African Safari tour amazing and memorable one. His personal interest in his clients impressed us, and on our way back to the airport he came to meet us for our feedback. I would like to recommend Bobby Camping Safari to all my friends and nature lovers who are planning to visit African Safari.
Thanks.

nice / friendly companions providing expert service :-)
I was looking forward to wake up and meet our driver Jolis, who made our days.
We saw serval, gepard, leopard huting, lions, elephants, rhino, ...
+ the kitchen was better than 5 star hotel in Instanbul (where we spent 1 day before going here)
Excellent job!
Thank you, Raimund

Great experience with Bobby Camping Safaris
Thanks to Bobby Camping Safaris for an amazing trip I had with my kids. We saw everything we wanted to, including a live lioness hunting a baby buffalo. The driver Jolis was very enthusiastic about finding all the animals.
I would definitely do another trip with Bobby Camping and would recommend whole heartedly to anyone else too.
Thanks to Director Sameer for arranging our safari which was a great experience and also all our needs were met.

Unforgettable experience!!!
Bobby Safari was one of the most beautiful experiences in my life. We saw almost everything we could and had great opportunity to take nice photos of animals. Trip was organized on top-notch level, drivers were very friendly and willing not only to find animals but find right car position to take best pictures. I do know now that I must return there at least one more time! Thank you guys!!!

Amazing Safari. Excellent Service!
Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to Murtaza (the Owner) and Jolis (Our Guide) of Bobby Camping Safaris! (Don't let the name confused u, they do all types of Safaris packages and not JUST camping!!)
I'm sure I'm not an easy client to deal with, I have children and I need everything well organised and close to perfect atleast!
I contacted Murtaza from UK, explained our needs and I have to say I'm very impressed with the level of service we received! Above all..I wanted to stay in Sopa Lodges both in Ngorongoro and Serengeti, the other tour companies I got a quotes from could not secure us rooms in these lodges, but Murtaza did! This meant alot to me!
I was concerned about the quality of the vehicle we would have as I know from previous experiences, vehicles do break down on rough roads and vehicle quality does vary from company to company! Murtaza again did not disappoint me. Our vehicle did not let us down and was allround in good condition!
I cannot praise Jolis, our driver and tour guide, enough!! The man is a STAR with impeccable time keeping (he does not work on "Tanzanian time" ie where lateness is the norm! ) He was knowledgeable, patient, very friendly, enthusiastic, confident, funny and above all an excellent driver who spoke good English! We came across some tricky roads and the guy manoeuvred his vehicle SO impressively!
What also impressed us so much was that Jolis was prepared to take us to places off the normal drive circuit, where it would have just been very easy to follow the crowd of vehicles and we would have been non the wiser! He took us to isolated places where we had private audience with some amazing animals. I'm also convinced that Jolis has eyes in the back of his head! He spotted animals in the most trickiest of places! I can't thank him enough for looking after us so well!!
Jolis wanted us to see the big 5 and he did not stop driving on those tricky roads until we eventually saw them! He clearly takes his role very very seriously! It felt like he got alot of pleasure in seeing us happy and providing the BEST service!
We were very touched and impressed that both Murtaza and Jolis turned up to meet us the day before our trip. Murtaza wanted to meet us personally and introduce Jolis to us. This to us said that Murtaza cares deeply about providing the best and personal service to his clients! Meeting them both then put my mind at complete rest!
If u want a worry free, trustworthy service then I highly recommend BOBBY CAMPING SAFARIS!!! With them you are NOT just a number, you are more of a friend then a customer!!
If u need to know anything else about our experience, please do not hesitate to ask. I'm more than happy to talk to anyone about our experience with Bobby Camping Safaris!
THANK YOU MURTAZA AND JOLIS! You will always be our first choice for a safari experience in Tanzania! ️

Awesome experience
Tanzania is the greatest place to be for a safari and the tour was made all the more special with our tour guide Jolly who made us feel secure and safe ..
He made sure that we were able appreciate the wilderness and the animals ..
Murthaza (the owner) given us all information related to Tanzania safari and quoted us the reasonable/competitive price. He supported all through our 6 day safari by keeping in touch with us about progress of the safari. He met us on the day of arrival and explained our tour itinerary.
Jolly made sure we see almost all possible animals. The highlight of the trip was taking us to see the migration in Mara river area wherein we were fortunate to see the river crossing of wildbeasts. Also he took us as close as possible to animals to have a better look.
Overall it was a great unforgettable trip which we never forget in our life time!!

Awesome company to deal with, lifetime memories
What an amazing experience we had.
Bobbys attention to detail was there from the very beginning, from our initial contact to the final quotes. He was very particular in asking what we wanted to achieve and delivered exactly what we asked for. We were a group of 9, all vegetarians. And so you can imagine that our demands were quite varied and we needed to get that right. Very pleased to say that Bobby delivered that.
Initial enquiries were from London and we had several chats and telephone conversations via whatapp. Response was very quick even when I sent a message on Friday night UK time and it was 1am in Tanzania.
When we arrived in Tanzania, we were greeted by one of the drivers at the airport who then took us to our hotel. Hotels were also booked by Bobby in Arusha for a days rest. We met up face to face the very next day and went through the itinerary again. Once again, very thorough and was exactly as we had requested.
We left for a 5 day/4 night safari in two cars, with probably the two best drivers in Arusha. Both Jolis and Seid were fantastic and throughout the safari, very patient and courteous. Thanks to these two, we managed to see all the major animals, including the big 5 and the illusive cheetah.
Would I use him again? YES !!! , without a shadow of doubt.
