Good Organization
We arrived in Arusha on Sunday, called Joseph and that same afternoon he had our Safari tour fixed.
Not only he was accommodating and flexible but he checked upon us where we were in the tour to ensure we were having a great time.
He also introduced us to the Nyamachoma (Local Grilled meat) by taking us to a nice local restaurant.
A lovely experience
I recommend
Great professionalism...

Fantastic first safari's experience in mikumi
We will ever remember our 4 days trip in mikumi national park in tanzania, that was made possible by the fantastic team of Joseph from tomodachi tours.
Joseph helped to organize us a tour that we decided to book at the last minute, 5 days before departure.
We went from a good surprise to another, 5h only by car from dar el salaam : fighting rhinos, resting male lion, elephants and girafes less than 5 meters from us - it was simply unbelievable.
We decided to mix a safari and a hikking experience, and I would recommend this combination for all the nature lovers.
Accomodations were carefully chosen, and we were provided with accurate, interesting and funny comments during all our trip.
Thanks again to all the team !

Not trustworthy!
Bad! Poor execution and under-delivery of what has been agreed and paid for are my two biggest pain-points with Tomodachi. Even if the company had provided as advertised, I would still not recommend it due to poor overall service (last-minute arrangement and changes), lack of tour briefing (we have to ask what's going on all the time) and the tour guides are not helpful. The Managing Director is Joseph Mwema, and co-partner: Jasper Kishari.

Wonderful Experience in Tanzania
I would like to say thank you to Joseph, who made for us an amazing tour in Tanzania ( Tarangiri, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, & tribes ) with Tomodachi Tours. It was fantastic. We are 4 tourists in a jeep, with our wonderful guide Cheidi and our favorite cooker Jackson. We highly recommend you them. We had choosen to sleep in a tent in Serengeti Park, WOW no regret at all. A very nice experience. Tomodachi Tour was so nice, because we have decided to change a little bit our plan, in order to have an experience with the bushmen. They change all for us very quickly and with a smile. They wanted us happy, to enjoy their beautiful country. We spent some times with the bushmen Hadzabe,and also with the Datoga tribes. We enjoy this trip so much. I recommend Tomodachi Tours.
We had an awesome time and arrangements an accommodations were well planned.
Our experience was good and plan to come back. Communication was good and our driver was friendly and very knowledgeable. We saw and experience above our expectations.

Experience of a Lifetime
This was my second safari in Africa but my first to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangiri. WOW what an amazing experience. Easy to work with, easy to book, and constant contact to make sure we were happy prior to trip. The guide Chedi (Chad) was the best. informative, funny, helpful, knew every animal, and helped us get some amazing photographs. We may have to add him and Joseph (the owner) to our Christmas Card list. They are like family now.
The scenery was amazing, the Tent lodges in Serengeti were unbelievable. Surrounded by animals in the wild was a bit scary to say the least. but the staff at the lodge was amazing, You can tell that Tomodachi Tours had done their research. The lodge at Tarangiri was unbelievable (roika tented lodge). It felt like you reached a paradise in the middle of the jungle. straight out of the movies.
Chedi made our experience feel like we were filming a movie for national geographic. The food was great, the service was amazing, and the hospitality was top notch. The fact that we were able to spend about an hour with the Masaai in their homes and dancing and singing with them was unreal. Have nothing negative to say about this trip or this company.
Thank you so much Joseph for such an amazing tour. Thank you Chedi for such an amazing 4 days teaching us so much about your country, the safaris, the animals, and your culture...

Unique Experience in Tanzania & Zanzibar
For our 60th birthdays (My wife and me) we spent 5 days in Tanzania and 3 days in Zanzibar. We have been in touch with Joseph (General Manager of Tomoduchi) from home before we arrived and he planned our stay and route in order to acheive the most of our days in Tanzania/ Zanzibar. Joseph received us at the airport when we arrived, took care of all our needs (Hotels, local Sim cards, Transportation, Information and all the time looked on our well-being).
The Safari route Joseph planned was done based on Joseph vast experience and saved us a lot of unnecessary drives in the long field roads of the Safari (Serengeti and ngorongoro).
Our guide/Driver for the safari trip was Chad, whom we found out as knowledgeable ( In Geography, Zoology, History and mechanics) , pleasant , and sensitive to our needs and requests, because of him our trip became a unique experience.
We thank Joseph and Chad who made our vacation to such a pleasant and unforgettable one. It also warmed our harts to find out that Both of them have such warm feeling towards the holy land. and we wish them both all the best and hope that beautiful Tanzania will flourish.
