He answerd all our questions. Added one extra day in Nairobi. Everything was very organized .And the nice touch to the trip was that Jackson meet with us in the middle of the tour.The guides- drivers Patrik and Ali are the best! They are very knowledgeable and experienced guides and great people. The best! They new where to go to find animals. And we saw all of them!All the lodges and camps were excellent. All of them were inside the parks. It's very important not to waist time,while you'd like to see animals. It was amazing to see animals and birds walking on camp or lidge territory, you can here at night elephants or lions make noise.The food was delicious! Mostly it was buffet. If you need to take lunch box , chef would come to your tabe and ask what to cook for you (at camps).The most important part of the trip are people . They are so nice! I'd like to say special thanks to people from. Sametu camp. Ian, Alex and everyone else made out stay feel like being at home with my friends.

If a safari is on your list please take my advice and book with bush 2 cityPosted on Patricia TVerified Better than I imagined! Mali @ Bush2city tailored our trip to maximize the variety of safari experiences while considering our requests & preferences. She was also responsive to our inquiries/requests during our trip. When a camp was closed due to flooding, she provided alternate options.All of our accommodations & hosts were great or exceptional. Our safari guide Steve for 3 days in Kenya was knowledgeable, patient regarding our questions, fun-loving, & determined to provide a full safari experience.Ally, our guide in Tanzania for 10 days, was knowledgeable about game animals, other desert animals & birds. Not only did he locate animals prior to other guides (frequently alerting other guides), but many times he spotted animals & waited, anticipating their behavior. Therefore, we saw several animal crossings, hunting, training offspring, & 2 male elephants fighting. He was fun-loving, patient with us, & filled-in when a subcontractor needed assistance.I always felt safe with our guides driving & the lodge environments. All the people worked tirelessly to provide a welcoming & memorable experience.Posted on Julie CVerified Absolutely fantastic!!! Our trip with Bush2City was amazing! Mali from the company took care of everything for us...arranging wonderful hotels and camps! If any issue arose, she was right there to help! Our guides, Steve and Ally were amazing and made it even a better experience! They both were very attentive to all our needs and made sure we were safe and comfortable. Both were extremely knowledgeable, kind, friendly, helpful and had a wealth of knowledge! They made sure we saw the big five as well as so much more! Absolutely incredible and I could not say enough good things about them both! Our favorite camp was in the Central Serengeti, Sametu. The food and staff were amazing ( shout out to Ramadhan and the xhef). Accommodations were wonderful and the property was magical. From start to finish everything was wonderful. All the camps had their own unique charms and everywhere the staff was amazing! Thank you to all who made our trip/experience absolutely wonderful!!! A trip of memories that will last a lifetime!!!Posted on Julie CVerified Absolutely fabulous The trip was absolutely fabulous and Mali from Bush2City was wonderful to work with!

We already miss them! Our favorite camp was Sametu where Ramadhan took incredible care of us! The food was superb and the accommodations outstanding! We enjoyed wonderful drinks with an amazing sunset there. My one complaint, would have liked to stay there for another day or two to actually enjoy the property.Huge thank you to Mali, Steve, Ally, Ramadhan and all the others that had any part in our incredible adventure!Oh, and we saw plenty of the big 5 as well as every other animal we expected and didn't expect to see!Thank you all for an incredible trip!Posted on Flyer22234903627Verified Bush2city is amazing!! I highly recommend We did a 6 days luxury safari covering terengire, lake manyara, serengeti, and ngorongoro crater. We went as a family of four, with two kids aged 6 and 8. It was our and our kids favorite vacation of all time. Everything was exquisitely organized by Maliwaza, including a birthday surprise cake for my youngest. Our guide Hussein was the best. He went above and beyond to seek out animals we wanted to see. He arranged each day based on our interest, preferred schedule, and energy levels. We were able to see the big five and many many more, thanks to him. The hotels camps chosen were better than I ever expected, in location, comfort and luxury. I highly recommend this company and especially Hussein.Posted on Chrysaor GVerified Ally is the goat Absolutely amazing vacation! Ally is hands down the best driver and guide you could ask for. His knowledge of the area and instincts for finding wildlife are truly unmatched—he knew exactly where to go and when, and thanks to him, we saw way more animals and incredible sights than anyone else we talked to on other tours. Every stop felt intentional and special, and it was clear that Ally genuinely loves what he does. If you're booking a safari, do yourself a favor and ask for AllyPosted on Tamzida MVerified Excellent tour operator with the best guide and driver Ally. Bush2City is outstanding tour operator. The guide and driver Ally exceeded our expectations in every respect. He went beyond and above his duty to show us animals in the game drive. I think he is one of the best guides and drivers in Tanzania. All the lodgings were excellent. It was our best vacation ever! Thanks to Bush2City.Posted on Robert EVerified Awe-inspiring and luxurious! My wife and I chose to visit Tanzania and Zanzibar for our honeymoon, starting with a Safari trip in Tanzania. We did a lot of research, and after weeks of searching, we decided to go with Bush2City. The whole process of booking was brilliantly handled by Martha, with great communication and always able to answer our queries.The trip itself was amazing, our guide was Hussein who was a great host - as well as an avid photographer (who we are glad to see is up and running again with his photography after not having a camera for a while). Hussein helped ensure we got to see all of the Big Five, including the elusive Leopard that we have never managed to see before. The accommodation was amazingly luxurious and food was incredible! We would definitely be using them again when we return for another visit!
EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Laurie TierneyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! What a trip, what a guide! We had Ally as our driver/guide for the 9 day Tanzania safari. There were six of us from the United States and this was a trip we will NEVER forget. Ally was beyond fabulous! We passed many broken down jeeps and accidents but our driver made us feel at ease with his driving. He worked so hard to make sure we saw the “Big 5” and was as thrilled for us as we were for ourselves. The jeep was clean, comfortable with plenty of snacks and cold drinks. The accommodations and food were wonderful and the people of Tanzania so warm and welcoming. If a safari is on your bucket list, reach out to Jackson Solomon and hope for Ally (although I would imagine all of their staff is fabulous).

Exceptional Safari Experience with Bush2City Adventure – A Trip of a Lifetime I recently returned from a truly unforgettable safari organised by Bush2City Adventure, and I can say with confidence that it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. From the moment I made contact, their team was responsive, informative, and incredibly accommodating. Every detail of the trip was planned with care—from airport transfers to lodge selections and daily game drives—leaving me free to relax and enjoy the adventure. The safari itself was beyond expectations. We explored some of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes and witnessed an extraordinary range of wildlife. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about conservation, which added depth and meaning to every moment in the bush. Whether it was tracking lions, watching elephants at a watering hole, or simply taking in the vast serenity of the savannah, every day brought something magical. A major highlight was the visit to Victoria Falls, which was seamlessly built into the itinerary. Standing at the edge of this natural wonder was awe-inspiring. Bush2City handled all the logistics flawlessly, ensuring smooth transitions between regions and activities, and even arranging a guided tour of the Falls that was both educational and moving. What truly set Bush2City apart was their personal touch. This wasn’t just a trip—it felt like a journey curated just for me. The accommodations were top-tier, the hospitality unmatched, and every member of their team went out of their way to make the experience extraordinary. If you're considering a safari in Africa and want something that combines expert planning with authentic, heart-stirring adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend Bush2City Adventure. They made my dream safari a reality, and I wouldn't hesitate to travel with them again. — Hamza Hanief UK Robert ElsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

BEST PRIVATE SAFARI We had the extraordinary opportunity to visit Tanzania for a 7-day safari, and it was undoubtedly one of the most incredible trips we’ve ever experienced. This unforgettable journey was made possible thanks to the fantastic organizer, Maliwaza, and our absolutely amazing guide, Ally. We started planning our trip with Maliwaza back in January. She patiently addressed every single one of our questions and concerns with great professionalism. Faced with the overwhelming number of safari agencies to choose from, we were initially lost, but Bush 2 City stood out with their professionalism, competitive pricing, and, most importantly, their personal and human approach throughout the process. When spending several thousand dollars on a trip you’ve dreamed about for years, it’s natural to feel anxious. But Maliwaza reassured us every step of the way and made us feel completely at ease. When we arrived in Tanzania, even though our flight was delayed, Maliwaza was there to greet us with a smile, provide us with final details, and introduce us to our guide, Ally, before our adventure began. For the next 7 days, we enjoyed a private safari with Ally, who is truly one of a kind. He is incredibly kind, wholeheartedly dedicated to finding animals and helping us get the best angles for photos. His patience and passion are truly inspiring. Since childhood, he has dreamed of being a guide, and that passion shines through in everything he does. Even when other guides gave up on finding wildlife, Ally kept going. He knows the parks like the back of his hand, stays in constant communication with other guides to track rare species, and remains cheerful, friendly, and professional even after a long day of non-stop safari from sunrise to sunset. Thanks to him, this trip was absolutely magical, and we are so grateful for everything he did to make it unforgettable. Throughout the trip, Maliwaza stayed available and attentive to our needs. Before we left, she even took the time to meet us at the airport one last time with a thoughtful, personal touch that really moved us. In conclusion, Bush 2 City, and especially Maliwaza and Ally, are truly outstanding. Their professionalism, passion, and attention to detail made our dream trip a reality. Don’t hesitate—book with them and let them make your dreams come true! Sebastien and Elisabeth Lindsey MortlockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found this company on a Google search, and I'm so glad we ended up booking with them. They take care of all of the details, they are happy to make changes to the itinerary before you book, and they are very responsive to questions along the way. Martha was our contact person, and did a great job with this. They are a small, locally owned company, which we also appreciated. Our guide Nickson was great, and always made sure to get us the best views of the animals. He was friendly and informative, and we're glad we got to spend our 10 days with him. If we come back, we will definitely be booking with this company again. Lena NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible experience on our private 6-Day Premium Tanzania Luxury Safari Vacation organized by Bush2City Adventure. From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-coordinated, thanks to Martha's excellent organization. Every aspect of the trip ran smoothly, with no unpleasant surprises—everything was punctual and well-prepared. Our guide and driver, Aziz, went above and beyond to make the sometimes several hours long drives enjoyable and comfortable. He made sure we had snacks, cold water, and even some beers to enjoy along the way. The vehicle was well-equipped with a power outlet to charge our phones, which was a very thoughtful touch. Aziz’s knowledge of the wildlife and the area was amazing. We visited Tarangire nationalpark, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and we were fortunate enough to see a wide variety of animals including cheetahs, leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes, and many more! The lodges we stayed in were really beautiful, offering a perfect balance of comfort and authentic safari charm. The staff at the lodges were always extremely friendly, helpful and truly delivered a 5-star experience. Meals were plentiful and of great quality. During the game drives, we usually had lunch boxes with us, which kept us energized for the exciting days of animal sightings. Overall, our experience with Bush2City was exceptional. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a well-organized and unforgettable safari experience. Edward ZirbserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 10 day. Private Safari in Tanzania was perfect from Milwaza’s planning to our guide “Nickson’s” personal attention and friendship. We enjoyed having our meals with him and his companionship! He is the best! I would highly recommend using Miliwaza to plan your Kenya or Tanzania Safari. Whenever I had a question to discuss she would respond immediately! Chris WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our holiday was a trip of a lifetime, a 15 night tour around Northern Tanzania - it was truly incredible. I fully appreciate how difficult it is for bush 2 city to organise all component parts, e.g. vehicle, driver, direction of travel, location of petrol stations, park permits including timings, activities, hotels etc…. We had 2 hotels let us down at the last minute (3 weeks before travelling) but Maliwaza persevered to find us alternative accommodation which is not easy for all the reasons I have detailed. The driver Nicxon was amazing, he took great pride in trying to find quiet secluded spots in the parks and wanted to find the best sightings he could for us. February was a great month to go as it was relatively quiet, I.e. a lot of the time only us viewing animals and we only had 4 short rain showers which didn’t affect anything. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the landscapes are all so different and breathtaking. We will definitely return!
