Unforgettable Kili - I contacted Mr. Ali directly from Italy and he helped me choose the most suitable route for us to be more likely to reach the summit and choose the right time. Excellent value for money. Everything was perfect: the pick up at the airport, the hotel in Arusha, the team of nine people who, led by Joshua, accompanied us to Urru Peak 5895 meters above sea level. Beautiful landscapes, breathtaking nature (from tropical forest to blooming Lobelias, from giant Seneci to lava fields and summit glaciers). Impeccably organized trekking, good and plentiful food, professionalism and kindness of the whole team. Thanks Ali, thanks Joshua and thanks to the whole team. To recommend.

Came as a client and left as a friend! - Our journey with Bobby Tours, from the climb on the 6 day Machame route of Mount Kilimanjaro, following the camping safari was an absolute delight. A special mention goes to Joshua and his incredible team of eight who accompanied us on the climb on Kilimanjaro. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support made the experience unforgettable. They provided guidance, ensured our safety, and went above and beyond to make the journey enjoyable. The stunning views of Serengeti and Ngorongoro were made memorable by Mandelas team's knowledge and enthusiasm. We were able to see all the big 5 even though we opted for the rather short 4 day safari. Bobby Tours' organization and attention to detail were very reliable and allowed us to enjoy our trip absolutely carefree. We highly recommend Bobby Tours for an exceptional adventure in Tanzania. Thank you, and the entire team, for an incredible journey! Emma & Finn
