“Our thank you has been delayed and really how does one say thank you for such a tremendous experience. You set up the perfect itinerary and Simon and Abraham were simply stunning hosts and teachers and friends. Thank you for the amazing work you do—a ministry of conservation and culture for sure. We learned tons. We have and will continue to sing your praises. So, once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”

“The best part of our trip was our guide and driver, Simon K., whose knowledge and obvious love for his native country made the whole adventure truly memorable. We felt we were being shown about by a close friend, and someone whose years of experience gave him the insight to know just how to introduce two first-time visitors to this spectacular world of natural wonders. Without hesitation, we would recommend Dorobo Safaris to anyone interested in seeing this amazing part of the world and would not think twice before booking them again for our own return trip.”

“We had an eight-night Safari with Dorobo at the end of May and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our life. Our guide, Kisana very quickly became a friend and we felt so lucky to spend a week with him sharing his wisdom and depth of experience, his incredible knowledge about animals, the land, and the people of Tanzania. Every part of the trip was magical, but something that is so unique about Dorobo was the ability to be in a mobile camp on the Manyara ranch. We were the only people there in a huge vast endless reserve. From falling asleep to the sound of lions roaring to our camp hosts and Massai guides, it was 4 days we will never forget!”

“My wife and I recently returned from a three week birding safari in Northern Tanzania with your company and we want to thank you directly for such a fantastic trip. It was an experience that we’ll never forget! Your itinerary was well thought-out, allowing us to enjoy a number of different habitats and associated faunas. Throughout the trip, your attention to detail was outstanding. Even a minor problem with the Land Rover was resolved quickly and efficiently.

We also want to thank our two guides, Killerai and Douglas. Both were absolutely terrific! They were personable, articulate, knowledgeable, and extremely resourceful. Their birding skills were top notch and both were able to provide insight to the local culture. Their knowledge of wildlife behavior was invaluable. They made the trip!”

“The dust has settled, but the memories remain.  I’d like to thank you and the Dorobo staff for a marvelous trip. We learned a great deal and enjoyed ourselves tremendously.  In particular, I want you to know what a great job Simon and Olemaria did for us.  They must be two of your best!  Simon was a knowledgeable guide and terrific driver.  Olemaria worked so hard — and what a great cook!
Thanks again for your trip planning and the efforts of your staff.”

“I just wanted to send you my own message of thanks for the wonderful safari you organized for us.  Douglas was a superb guide! -a great person and an excellent birder. We saw 305 species of birds! Thanks to Douglas. And when you are looking for birds you tend to see everything else, so of course we saw all the expected mammals and even some rare ones (like Serval Cat and Caracal!)as well as lovely butterflies, flowers, chameleons and tortoises, etc etc thanks often to Douglas’s good eyes.   The camp staff was great, the food was excellent. Visiting the Iraqw and Hadza were definitely high points of the trip. We enjoyed the Kiota Nest too. Flora was a delightful hostess and excellent cook.   We are eager to return next year for a walking safari in the south of Tanzania (assuming I won’t make everyone go to ‘pole pole’ with my short legs and old body…)  I also thank you for your understanding when we had to cancel our original dates for October in order for me to have back surgery. Without that I could not have enjoyed such a trip. Finally I commend you for all your efforts on behalf of the Hadza and thank you for our privilege of visiting with them.”
