Reliable company, great food and wildlife encounters
We enjoyed our safari with Josh Dreamland. We did the 5 day, 4 night budget camping safari.
The pros:
- trustworthy company, everything all organised well
- great communication with Elizabeth leading up to the safari
- easy payment options
- free Josh Dreamland T-shirt!
- GREAT food - chef Matthew absolutely outdid himself for all the meals and we didn't go hungry
- free water, beer, coke
- epic scenery and wildlife encounters
- accomodation was basic but sufficient, the tents, mattresses and sleeping bags were provided by the campgrounds and were clean.
There were elephants and baboons at the Ngorongoro camp!!!
Things to consider:
- Note that Josh Dreamland work with a few other companies, and we ended up on a tour led by Serengeti African Tours instead. The others on our tour had booked through a few other companies, too. This was fine except one couple had booked the lodge stay as opposed to the budget camping stay, so quite a bit of time was spent in the morning and evening picking them up / dropping them off as our accomodation wasn't nearby. This ate into our safari time particularly on our second Serengeti morning. This is why we've reviewed only 4 stars :)
To avoid this, maybe when booking with them just ask to make sure everyone on your tour is doing the same either budget OR lodges, not a mix of both :)

Once in a life time!
We got to spend new years on the Serengeti which is a once in a lifetime experience for us! We saw almost every animal (minus leopard 😮) and enjoyed the camping tents where we could hear hyena at night. Food was also great with large portions. Great value for money.

Could not ask for a better safari experience
I went with my friend on the 5 days, 4 nights safari. Spent 1 day in tarangire national park, 3 in Serengeti and 1 in Ngorongoro Crater.
Our tour operator Elizabeth gave us a briefing one day before the safari and was supportive in communicating with the airline to have our lost luggage on time. Our tour guide Godfrey was knowledgeable and knows the areas very well and excellent in spotting animals.
The food was nice and halal option was provided as per our request. Our chef Richard cooked deilusous food and had a nice variety of meals.

Budget safari exceeded expectations
We had a great time on our safari. Our guide, Jabir, was awesome. He was the best at spotting animals, routinely checked in with us throughout the trip, and was a genuinely kind and fun person to be around. He even arranged for my boyfriend to have a cake on his birthday! Mathayo our chef kept us full with 3 yummy meals a day that exceeded my expectations of food while camping. Angel at the office was so helpful answering my questions prior to booking and making sure we had all the information to make the trip spectacular on a budget. Finally, the camping was perhaps the most comfortable I've ever been camping. Every night the tent was already set up for us and had a thick sleeping pad or two with a sleeping bag and the facilities all had showers and toilets. I would highly recommend Josh Dreamland Safari. We had such a memorable time not only seeing beautiful animals but also meeting so many fun people along the way.

Nothing was too much trouble for Josh Dreamland Safaris
We were a party of 5 from Wales, UK and have just returned from an incredible 5 day, 4 night safari with Josh Dreamland Safaris. We flew into the Serengeti and then travelled back to Arusha through the Ngorogoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. Our guide was Dickson who was very knowledgeable about the animals, fauna & flora. We saw lots of animals and stayed in fantastic lodges.
Angel from HQ arranged everything for us. With all the online fraud and scams it was a bit concerning sending large sums of money to the company prior to leaving the UK. However, Angel was in touch all the way through the process and we were picked up from our hotel for our flight from Zanzibar to Seronera and we were greeted by our guide at the airport to start our safari. Lizbet who works with Angel at HO on reservations accompanied us on our safari to experience first hand the safari and accommodation so that they could all improve the customer experience at the reservation stage. So well done Josh Dreamland for this initiative. Lizbet was a joy to have along on the trip with us.
When we were doing our research into visiting the Serengeti, the end of October didn’t seem to be the best time to visit. However, approximately 40% of the migrating animals had returned so there were plenty of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo and gazelles to see. Furthermore, we saw so many lions we lost count, along with a cheetah, a leopard up a tree with its kill, hyenas, elephants, giraffes and warthogs galore. A lot of the animals had recently had their young, which added to the experience. We saw Rhino in both the serengeti and the crater, albeit at a distance.
Tarangire is the park of elephants and it certainly didn’t disappoint. A herd of over 100 elephants were at the riverside and watching the baby elephants playing and being mischievous was a joy. A pack of 8 hyenas also had a staring role whilst they rolled in a mud pool following a recent kill, taking turns at chasing off the vultures waiting for the last pickings. However, as we were leaving for the day we were fortunate to come across a pride of 8 lions very actively getting ready to hunt. They put on quite the display for us, and came so close I actually closed the truck window! Fortunately the zebras got away on this occasion.
Thank you Josh Dreamland we had a fantastic trip.

Fantastic!
For my first time on a safari experience, I had an amazing time and this was down to the caring and hardworking staff at Josh Dreamland safari. A lot of information given about the animals and we were made to feel safe on our experience. The safari tour was amazing and I definitely want to come back

Extremely caring and helpful 🩷
From the start, Angel in the office was extremely helpful and flexible. On the actual (4 day) safari I was blown away by the beautiful landscapes, abundant animals, fun guide (David), and excellent chef (Matthew) - we were eating 3 course home cooked meals! I didnt have to worry about a thing, everyone in charge made sure I was getting where I needed to be, etc. I ended up in a jam when one of my medical devices battery unexpectedly died, and Angel made arrangements to get a replacement battery delivered to me in the middle of nowhere - literal life savers! I really appreciated how kind and caring everyone was.
