Kojuu Safari provides excellent service - This trip was amazing. I saw everything I thought I would see and more. My guide, Elias, was the best. His 40 years of experience put us in the best positions to see it all. He was in constant communication with the other drivers, guides and rangers to get the best views and animal experience. I felt completely safe viewing all the animals. In addition, Judith Siware did a wonderful job with the itinerary. And lastly, my hiking associates for Mount Kilimanjaro Dickson and Festus went out of their way to make sure I had an enjoyable experience on my hike of Kilimanjaro.
There was an over abundance of food at the hotel and on the game drives.
The hotels were beautiful, and the staff very accommodating- even in the challenging environment of the Serengeto
I booked the solo five day safari with a one day Kilimanjaro hike and don’t regret it.
There are many options for safari, but my experience with Kojuu, Judith and Elias was 1st class.

Fantastic - Wonderful. We loved everything. The first impression with Anita was super positive…she was super attentive. The Safari days were fantastic. Super comfortable accommodation. Our dear guide Dereck was top notch. Always attentive to our needs, we didn't even need to talk! Professional, friendly and attentive.
We recommend it 100%.

The Best! Highly Professional, Reliable and Experienced in spades! - Judith and her team at Kojuu Safaris are trly the best! I did a personalised, amazing 10 day tour across Tanzania & Zanzibar. As a solo traveller, with specific travel dates, destinations and activities I wanted to see and do, the perfect personalised itinerary was created for me within 24 hours. I intentionally preferred Kojuu Safaris and Tanzanian owned accommodation options to support local Tanzanian people and businesses.
Judith made sure everything I requested was arranged for and all accommodation organised was of luxury level. At each of the luxury accommodation, all staff hospitality on-site and service was exceptional! My favourites:
1. for very thoughtful and personalised customer service was Acacia Farm Lodge in Karatu,
2. for exceptional amenities, spectacular rustic safari feel and luxury lodge experience (including the sound of roaring lions at night) was Lake Ndutu Luxury Tented Lodge and
3. for exceptional comfort, location and 5 star restaurant meals was the Lions Paw at the rim of Ngorongoro Crater. Even though its smaller, it is super warm, cosy and won hands down!
4. Breezes in Zanzibar was the perfect location to relax with friendly 5 star service and commitment amenities after an extraordinary week of amazing safari game drives.
The most important person who made my safari mission the best safari holiday anyone could hope for was my safari guide Peter! Peter knows all Tanzania road routes, timing on the road between destinations, puts safety first, is an expert 4WD driver in all weather conditions, is very humble, professional, polite, respectful, speaks fluent English and is highly knowledgeable about all animals and places ... with bionic vision! Thanks to Peter, I saw the Big 5!!!
A great example of why Peter is the Number One Guide to travel with: After a night of torrential rain in the Serengeti where we were at risk of not being able to cross 4 rivers, we came across other guides bogged in the mud, pulled over on the side of the road with overheated car radiators, one struggled with a flat tyre and one was stuck in a creek of overflowing rain water where 2 hours before I was filming hippos in the same spot! Peter had asked me if it was ok to help another safari guide with 2 young travellers (from Taiwan) stuck in the creek. Worried, seeing the situation and risks, I said 'yes absolutely, but how??', with high water levels, it looked impossible. While other locals standing, watching, and other companies driving past! ...Peter kicked into super hero mode without blinking and got them out safely (the tourists and the vehicle!!) 🙏🏼 After all of the stops made and witnessing Peter's genuine, heroic acts of kindness that afternoon 🌟 we safely made it to our next destination. This definitely added to the adventure but it was also blessing to see Peter's many years of experience in action when there were clearly other company guides/drivers who lacked experience or had no compassion for others who needed help in rare wet weather conditions. If safety is a priority for you, considering humans are most vulnerable in the open wilderness and huge Serengeti ecosystem, I recommend asking to book Peter at Kojuu Safaris!
Asante Sana again to Peter and Judith!

Mambo ! - We had a wonderful Safari arranged by Judith of Kojuu Safari. She was very helpful, prompt and professional!
From the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro, we felt at home! Not surprising, since at some point in time, all our ancestors were African !
Our Guide, Michael Tata was wonderful. He is very experienced and literally went an extra mile so we could witness the magnificent cats of Tanzania. We saw lions lazing around, a leopard, two cheetahs hanging on an Acacia tree. We saw the big five but found everything on game drives spectacular… the trees, the grasses, birds and the butterflies. We even stopped to marvel the baby python by the dirt road.
Michael is an excellent driver and he was very collaborative and helpful to others.
We would love to come back and will definitely go with Kojuu again!
Many thanks to the Kojuu team !

Perfect tailor made Safari experience and service! - We booked a 5-day Safari tour with Kojuu Safari, everything went extremely smooth and Judith has been going out of her way to make sure we get the best trip. It was really great that you can communicate over Whatsapp it all makes it so much easier than emailing back and forth. We booked our trip rather late but Kojuu was able to fulfill all our wishes and incorporate any last minute changes that we needed due to a planned airport strike which made us change the dates two weeks out.
All of that makes Kojuu Safari like a concierge service giving a personal touch to things like informing the hotels that it was our anniversary to have us surprised with a champagne bottle at one of the lodges. Kojuu started operating fairly recent compared to other agencies which is why you may find less reviews, if anything that is a advantage since they will try to make sure everything is perfect.
Our guide was Alfred and he was fantastic, within two days we saw all the big 5 and by the end of the trip we had three Leopards sightings! He was very informative and was able to explain every detail and background of the Serengeti wildlife. He was always doing his best to get us in the best view/angle of the animals. Very skilled driver and knew the national parks routes well with the best highlights.

By far one of the best tour companies we have ever used. - Our family of four did a 7 day / 6 night package tour with Kojuu Safaris; their customer service and attention to details exceeded our expectations. Hotel accommodations were fantastic (5 star ratings). Their jeep was brand new with wifi, charging ports, snacks and all you can drink (beer, water, soda, wine) during our game drives.
Godwin (our guided driver) was exceptionally brilliant at going above and beyond to find every animal on our bucket list. Godwin's wealth of knowledge for the parks visited made it that much easier at finding all the big cats; from lions, cheetahs to leopards (you name it, we saw it). Godwin is a highly experienced driver with 15+ years in the business. We felt safe at all times and would definitely recommend him as your guide.
A special shout out to Judith for organizing our tour and making it a memorable experience for our entire family. Judith was extremely accommodating and super responsive at all times. She would check in with us daily to ensure everything was running smoothly. We were celebrating our son's 16th birthday along with our 20th anniversary and Judith ensured that every hotel would either celebrate these special occasions during dinner or greeted us with a cake on arrival. I am beyond grateful for everything Judith did for our family.
Couldn't imagine going on this adventure with a different tour company! So grateful we chose Kojuu Safaris!!
