Often called the Whiskey Route this is a scenically beautiful trail, longer and much gentler than Umbwe or Marangu. Our itinerary provides valuable acclimatisation by having shorter walking days during the trek. $1,150 Product unit:piece Customer Reviews:

Customer Testimonials
We always wanted to go to Africa, so when we heard about Tanzania through one of our friends who did a tour with Bobby Tours, we just said, \\\"Sign us up\\\". We knew a little bit about the region before the trip, but we didn\\\'t really have an itinerary in mind. We just left that totally in their hands because we knew it was going to be wonderful. But even so, it exceeded our expectations
KENNETH UZOGARA told us:
Hello Jackson and Kassim, I want to thank Salim our driver very much for his OUTSTANDING service for my honeymoon with my wife in Tanzania. Everything went so perfectly, and we were very happy through Every moment. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the hard to see animals, to check up on us that we arrived safely from Dar, showed up on time every day, and shared a lot of laughs with us. We have never been on a Safari tour before, and Bobbytours truely set the standard for an incredible experience for anyone. I personally believe this and I will let people know that it is the best Safari group period. My wife and I thank you for providing us with Salim as our tour guide, and please let him know that we are forever greatful for this experience he helped provide to us. We will miss him as a guide and please congratulate him for his exceptional service. I will definately go with Bobby tours again on my next safari in the future.CheersKen
Ravi Chana told us:
My Family of two adults & two Children (aged 15 and 10) thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience booked via Bobby Tours and Safaris in August 2010. The company were most helpful with making arrangements to suit our needs and to accomodate what we wanted within the short space of time we had. They were able to advise and arrange a 4 day safari taking in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Due to late booking on our part the Lodges were not available so we opted for a basic camping trip (which I would thoroughly recommend, as long as you do not mind basic wash facilities). Despite not having any camping experience, or equipment, we really enjoyed the camping experience. Bobby tours had organised all the equipment for us within the price, so we had no worries about carrying our own equipment. The tour company provided us with a car, driver (Umari) and a cook (Macho). Umari was knowledgeable about the local areas, national parks and wildlife, and was very accomodating whenever we needed anything. Macho was great with providing us with Breakfast, Lunch, afternoon tea and Dinner (we even requested him to make us the local staple food of \'Ugali\' which he duely made). All in all this was a great family safari experience, and one which we would recommend to any family that is looking to have fun and enjoy three of the most beautiful places on earth. We would also recommend the use of Booby Tours & safaris. If you need to talk to this company give Jackson Adams or Kassim a call. We found they were able to answer any questions and arrange local hotels and flights too.
