A Truly Special Safari Experience

Kojuu provided a unique, special and personalized safari experience. Every exact detail was carefully planned and explained by Gloria, who masterfully orchestrated every move. Aaron was a "rock star" and provided expert guiding services where all of the Big Five animals were observed and also most of the Ugly Five species as well! He was also very insightful in explaining African norms and history along the way, while answering my myriad of questions. We especially enjoyed our stay at the luxurious Four Seasons resort in Segengeti. I highly recommend Kojuu for all of your safari needs. Trust me, Madam Judy and her staff with take great care of you!

A great adventure!

We went on a 4-Day Fly in Serengeti from Zanzibar safari at the beginning of December. The itinerary including transfer from our hotel to the airport, flights from Zanzibar and back as well as transfer from the airport to our resort upon our return in Zanzibar, in addition to the safari, was all organised by Kojuu Safaris. Before our departure we got a little bit nervous as we received the final confirmations together with the vouchers for accommodation and flight tickets last minute. However, we had nothing to worry about, as everything was perfectly organized, as Zaituni had reassured us. She kept in touch from the first request until we were back home, making sure everything was fine. Our driver/guide, Ombeni, was waiting for us when we arrived at the airstrip. Being such a calm and knowledgeable person, he really made our trip comfortable and pleasant. We saw and learned a lot, but also had quiet times to just enjoy the experience. In addition to the driver/guide, we had a photographer with us, Emanuel. He was also very pleasant company, and he took beautiful pictures for us to enjoy long after our trip. Our accommodations were all special and very comfortable. A pity we did not get to spend much time in each, but the game drives were what we came on safari for, and we had an amazing time! So, thank you so much to the Kojuu Safari team – your delivered what you promised, and we got all we had hoped for.

Perfection!

From the planning stage, customizing our trip, to arrival, assistance and follow up on a daily basis making sure were having the best and safe trip until departure, Zaituni has always been there to assist, follow-up, remind and make sure we are enjoying our trip. During the safari trip, Barrick made sure that we will enjoy the entire trip and we managed to see the Big 5 in action because of his patience, persistence and dedication. We saw the lion hunting, killing, eating and having siesta after the kill because of Barrick's dedication to ensure we get to see the best safari experience. Thank you Kojuu for the best safari trip experience. Special thanks to Zaituni and Barrick!
