About
Imagine the first time you hear a lion roar in the dark of night, the first time you witness a thousand hooves galloping across the golden Savanah, the first time you see the Maasai hunt, the first hot air balloon ride over the patchwork plains, and the first time to glimpse sight of the snow-clad spirit of Mount Kilimanjaro. An African safari is full of firsts, and with Bush 2 City we can show you the splendor of this rare and unbridled world. We live and breathe Tanzania because we are part of Tanzania, this is our home and we want to invite you in.

Whatever your whim or pleasure, we will take the time to listen and plan your perfect journey. We specialize in the art of luxury Tanzania tours. For us, luxury isn’t just about the number of stars above your name but is about breathtaking sights, rare and authentic experiences, fine local cuisine, cultural interactions, and beautiful spaces to rest your head at the end of the day.

We highly recommend Bush 2 City to help you plan your African Adventure!! We worked with Jackson Solomon, the principal, for more than 6 months to plan our trip. He was incredibly helpful and responsive in the planning stages, giving us a range of options including cost and understanding our trip objectives and desires. Jackson provided excellent customer service during the planning and patiently answered a series of emails with many questions, issues and concerns. Our group of six was extended family with different ages, abilities and desires and the trip was a hit with everyone!
All of our travel arrangements between Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania were seamless. We were met in Entebbe Uganda and escorted though unfamiliar territory (customs/immigration, etc). A big thank you to all of our Safari guides – Gordon in Uganda, Samuel in Kenya and Nickson in Tanzania- they were wonderful, knowledgeable, and patient. They were all very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the best times and places to spot them as well as educating us about their communities.

Seeing the mountain gorillas in Uganda was a highlight as well as the balloon ride over the Serengeti. All of the lodgings selected by Bush 2 City were very comfortable including the remote “bush camps.” All of the personnel in each of the bush camps were very friendly and welcoming, provided great service and became part of our family during our stays. they even prepared a special birthday celebration for one of our party. The food served at each lodging was great – even with vegetarian options and the coffee was always good! We would definitely use Bush 2 City again!!

What a trip! In February 2023 I completed my 4th safari with Bush 2 City Adventure. For this safari I traveled solo, returning to Tanzania for 15 days. I revisited Arusha National Park, Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro crater, Ndutu (for the first time,) and the central Serengeti. Probably my best safari yet! Jackson helped me plan a relaxed yet thorough itinerary, choosing superb accommodations and a variety of activities. The safari was a drive in, fly out-decreasing road time back to Arusha. The planning was impeccable, from airport pick up to drop off.
My guide Said, who had been my guide for my first safari 5 years ago, was as incredible as before-outstanding driver, very familiar with the parks and the wildlife, superb spotter, as well as courteous and witty. Although I traveled solo, I felt like I was traveling with a friend.
In addition to the game drives where I once again saw the Big Five, I encountered several other critters not seen on previous safaris, did a night drive in Tarangire, walking safaris in Tarangire and Arusha National Park, as well as canoed on the small Momella lake in Arusha N. P. I highly recommend the canoe excursion if you have time. It is a wonderful change of pace!
The Land Cruiser was in great shape and ran well. Bush lunches were either a superb lunchbox (infrequent) or more often, a hot meal complete with meat, vegetables, rice and pasta, bread, fruit, juice and wine! (I noted more than one envious comment about my picnic wine.)
As before, Jackson met with me at the end of the trip to make sure everything had gone well, discussing the flow of the trip, the guiding and the accommodations. Since it was so perfect, safari number 5 is already being planned!

We have just returned from 10 days Premium Tanzania Safari with Bush2City. It was wonderful! A Kilimanjaro day hike was added to our itinerary which we wnjoyed even through it was quite tough. All the accomodations were comfortable and had great locations. Our guide Nickson was highly knowledgable, flexible and courteous. He took good care of our vehicle and we never ran into any problems unlike so many other cars! Nickson is a real professional as far as spotting animals is concerned. We saw more than a dozen lions and cheetahs in central Serengeti within a couple of hours. But we had the most excitement in northern Serengeti following wilderbeasts and trying to be at the right moment in the place where they decide to cross the Mara River. On our second day we hot lucky and witnessed this incredible spectacle! Nickson made it happen for us! We would unreservedly recommend Bush2City as your perfect tour operator in your next adventure in Tanzania, Kenya or other destination. Just ask for Nickson to be your guide!

It's heartwarming to read about your adventure-filled 10 days through Tanzania! The Kilimanjaro hike, although challenging, seems to have added an adventurous flavor to your journey. Nickson's expertise in spotting the wonders of the Serengeti, especially those elusive lions and cheetahs, truly resonates through your words. Witnessing the wildebeest migration in the northern Serengeti must have been nothing short of magical! We're glad Nickson was there to steer you to that right moment. Your kind words and recommendations genuinely light up our day. Here's to many more breathtaking moments on your future travels! Warmly, Jackson Solomon Director of Sales Bush 2 City Adventure

We just came back from a 6 day safari trip with B2C and we can only say that everything was perfectly organised from the first minute to the last. We are so happy we put our trust in B2C to arrange the best experience for us in Tanzania.

Starting with the communication and planning of the trip (already two years ago, since we booked the trip before COVID times) with Jackson. Back then, Jackson's proposal stood out from other companies because of a better selection of accommodations, friendlier prices and overall a very flexible and clear way of communicating that helped us customise the trip to our liking.

Fast forward to the moment when we started our trip last week. We were picked up from the airport by our guide Dixon. We could not have wished for a better guide as he was such a friendly, calm and experienced guide. He was so knowledgable about the animals, answering all our questions about them, and really did his utmost to track them and find the perfect spots for us to view the animals from. He even went the extra mile for us as we raced to see a rhino (which are super rare!) in the late afternoon, on our very last day in Serengeti. A unique and beautiful experience we'll never forget!

Our itinerary had one more day of safari planned, but we were eager to get to know more about the culture and people of Tanzania. Dixon proposed to do a bicycling tour on our last day in the main land of Tanzania. The perfect alternate after a few days in the jeep. B2C was quick to arrange this for us and we had so much fun doing this bike tour, with Dixon also coming along for the ride together with a local guide from the village we were touring. Would recommend if you're keen to learn more about the people and culture as well.

I could go on and on, but in short: this was an experience of a lifetime that none of us will ever forget, made possible by Bush2City, Jackson and of course Dixon, who truly became a friend of our family.

In my experience Reality rarely measures up to the Fantasy. Fortunately my 6 Days Tanzania Enticing Explorations Safari with Bush 2 City Adventure was a great exception. What an AMAZING trip! Better than my expectations. Asante Martha. Asante Nickson.
Martha’s efforts during the initial consultations helped get things off to a smooth well-coordinated beginning. Martha worked with me while examining multiple options in terms of length of stay, locations to include, and various levels of luxury and budget. Ultimately, it was Martha’s commitment on behalf of Bush 2 City Adventure to customize my experience which sealed the deal. She even managed to smoothly incorporate a last minute request for shopping.
It was Nickson’s work during the execution phase that elevated the experience to meet and surpass my fantasy. It takes a lot of skills to be a good Tour Guide: Knowledge of the multiple trails within multiple national parks, game spotting ability, good people skills, knowledge of the various wildlife in east Africa, and excellent decision-making while driving. Nickson effectively managed to avoid driving risks (axle-deep in mud, punctured tire) that other drivers could not. Despite spending long days on dusty, dusty roads Nickson showed up every morning with the Land Cruiser cleaned inside and out.
AN EXCELLENT VACATION.

My wife, 3 kids and my 76 year mother spent 10 days with Bush2City in Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Loita Hills and then finally to the Masai Mara to see the great migration. It was a once a lifetime experience in the company of our amazing driver Dickson Mutua who looked after our every last need. As we were 6 in total, we had the vehicle to ourselves and could determine when and where on the day itself which enabled us to be flexible depending on how we felt. The tour was well planned but it was the attention to detail from Dickson that made the difference to what was a most memorable tour. Thank you again to Bush2City and especially to Dickson.

What an amazing trip, expertly planned and coordinated by Jackson, at Bush2City, it was more than expected. The guide/driver, Simon in Kenya and Nickson in Tanzania were both excellent drivers as well as amazing guides and animal spotters. The blend of accommodations both luxury and comfort was just what our group wanted and the staffs at the facilities chosen were extremely friendly and very attentive. The chefs at the locations cooked truly incredible food for our consumption at all 3 meals. At one location, tree tops in Tarangire, Nick was both funny and attentive providing members of our group with individual menus based on dietary restrictions…truly amazing. We were all afraid we were going to put on weight ! Having been on Safari in other countries, the attraction of seeing the great migration was truly incredible, hundreds of thousands of widebeest lining up as far as the eye can see and getting to see the Mara river crossing was unforgettable. The cultural programs with the Maasai and village tour were quite memorable. Bush 2City really over-delivered both to the experienced as well as the first time safari people in our group. The other thing that stuck out for me was the warmth and kindness of the Kenyan and Tanzanian people, what a blessing to experience…

The safari was incredibly beautiful from start to finish. Already the planning went smoothly, Jackson has responded to all our questions and ideas and has adapted the route optimally to us. On site, the pickup at the airport went without a hitch, we had a great guide with a lot of experience and knowledge, who showed us the most beautiful corners of the national parks. All accommodations (mostly tented camps) were very nice in unique locations and great facilities (here we had left everything to Jackson for planning, very good quality for an affordable price). We spent a total of 9 great days on safari and were able to see the diversity of the different parks including many different animals and breathtaking moments. It was an unforgettable experience and we can only recommend Jackson and his team to everyone! Thanks to Jackson and our guide and driver Azizi!

I just finished 2 weeks on private safari with Bush2City touring 4 national parks/reserves (in Kenya and Tanzania) As a solo female traveler, I did extensive research on the many options available. I wanted to do Africa right and I wanted to do it safe. Jackson made all real for me! He put together an itinerary paired with a mix of glamping and exquisite lodges where I could hear the lions roar in the night and have zebras walk by in the afternoons!

My guides, Karanja (took grest care of me in Nairobi), Resin (amazing Maasai Warrior for private game drives on private conservatory), Michael (incredible wildlife expert and bird enthusiast), and Nickson (incredible cheetah whisperer and awesome lion spotter) all brought the wild kingdom up close and personal! I saw so many lions and cheetahs that I started dreaming about them by week 2.

Thank you to Jackson and his seasoned guides for organizing this dream African safari for me!
I will always appreciate your team for showing me the beauty of wild Africa!

This was by far the best trip I have ever experienced. There are no words to describe the feeling of seeing these wild animals in their natural habitat.
Our driver/guide, Aziz, was amazing. He did everything possible to find animals that were sometimes hidden in bushes or in the tall grass. He patiently gave us lots of time to observe the animals and shared his knowledge with us.
Our tour organizer, Maliwaza Kazimoto, did a great job organizing the tour for us. I have celiac disease and must follow a strict gluten free diet. Maliwaza went to great lengths to ensure my safety.
I highly recommend this company!
