Unforgetable experience, wonderful
A friend of mine and me booked a tour for 3 day to Udzwunga and Mikumi. The owner Joseph texted us directly after booking and was very kind and told us everything we had to know. Thomas was our guide during the tour. He is a wonderful person and did his job so, so well. We could do everything we'd like to and he always did his best. He explained us the natur, how the animals are living ans the people in Tanzania. He drives very safe. During the Safari we had tasty meals together in the hotels or outside at the Nationalpark. We stayed in nice rooms. This experience was so wonderful. We saw so many great places and animals because of Thomas' great tour. I can't tell you anything they could do better. We felt welcome and as friends.
Furthermore we had some problems with our Creditcard but Joseph and Thomas were so relaxed and told us not to worry.
All in all I only can say: do it and enjoy it.

The best experience we had while traveling in Tanzania !!
We definitely wanted to go on safari in Tanzania, so we had a look in the internet and found tomodachi tours and safari, because they had a short Safari of three days for a great price we couldn’t find anywhere else, so we booked it on safari bookings.com.
Already a few minutes later Joseph texted us on what’s app (so don’t wonder about). He was really kind and sended a lot of photos.
In the beginning we were a bit scared to go alone, because it was just us the two girls of 23 years and the guide. But that was definitely not necessary!
At 4:30 in the morning Thomas arrived at our hotel to pick us up and we got on the road. Because it’s not possible to get dollar anywhere at the atm over here (you should take it with you from home), Thomas was so kindly to stop with us at an atm for getting cash.
The first day we saw the udzungwa mountains and the great waterfalls. It was just beautiful !!! You feel like the loan king at the top of the world when you’re standing on it. The second day we went on safari and we saw everything !!! So also Mikumi is perfect for safari. After not seeing a lion all day Thomas went with us outside the park and we find one. He called the other cars driving through the park for telling them, so everybody could see. He has such a big heart! He cared of us very well and we felt so safe with him. He was always on time and loving his job. So it was not just a touristic activity. Also the next day in the morning he was the first guide seeing the lion -> Thomas was definetely the best guide in the whole park and always funny.
Yesterday evening after going to bed we both were the opinion that it was the best we could do. There was nothing we would change and you can always tell him to stop or change the plan. It was just perfect!!!

Wonderful Experience with Tomodachi Tours & Safaris
We had a fantastic experience in Selous National Park and in Zanzibar Island with Tomodachi Tours e Safaris. I had a good communication with Joseph, the manager of Tomodachi, to plan our trip and meet our needs. For example, my girlfriend is vegan and she had eaten without problem.
Joseph organized everything perfectly: safaris, transferts, accommodation and guided tours. We have always felt safe. Joseph and his staff were always friendly and helpful and allowed us to live an unforgettable experience.The Safari in the Selous reserve was fantastic, we have done 3 type of experiences: walking tour, safari boat and game drive, and we saw many animals.We stayed in a lodge into the nature, near the river, where you only can hear animals sounds, like monkey and hippos.
Many thanks to Joseph and the Tomodachi Tours and Safaris team!

This was exceptional experience full of fun and great moments for entire family!
The trip to Selous Game Reserve was well organised, the team led by Mr Joseph demonstrated great experience, dedication and desired attention; as we were a family comprising of three adults and three kids.
Mr Joseph demontrated right safari & tour expertise - short turnaround time for getting unique family package organised at reasonable cost; including travel, accomodation, meals, game drive and boat ride at Rufiji River - all with right touch just the way we wanted! Well done and keep it up...
Travel was smooth, Mr Thomas is a keen tour guide with right experience; driving was cool and used well his expertise. Game drive was great as we saw many animals - lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo and many others!
We had fun and wonderful experience..accomodation with river-facing view was facinating; it was worthy trip..we are all happy, relaxed and memorable moments with kids.
I recommend Tomodachi Tours & Safari, led by Mr Joseph, to others, no doubt!

Overall good but Tomodachi can do better
The driver/guide is good, the accommodation is wonderful;I had an unforgettable experience at Domel Wilderness Camps. But the company can do better. First of all it took Tomodchi moe than a month to confirm receiving our deposit. And then we were told the agreed accommodation was no longer available although we had double confirmed they were available before booking the trip. The car constantly broke up on safari. Finally, I asked about going to Mara river in the email with the company but we were never taken there and was told it was too far to drive there. The company could have arranged an accommodation closer to the river.

Awsome and unforgettable experiences
Highly recommended!!!!
It was great getting engaged with tomadachi tours especially joseph.. we went to tarangire, ngorongoro and zanzibar.
We were 4 adults and one kid (3 years)
Experience was very good sfarting with safari, our guide was excellent and was very good in tracing animal in safari even at some place he took us off tge normal way to show some close view of elephants. It was really close. But our guide was also our driver and he was driving on highway also like safari speed. On highways even bikes were overtaking us. Not a issue since its with speed limit of 50 kmph.
Our hotel in arusha was not that great however since we werr the only one in entire hotel so we were given VIP treatment. My recommendation is to take hotel in arusha city center.
Or else of you want to do tarangire and ngorongoro then keep ur full stay at farm of dreams, this is an excellent hide out never experienced in my life.. farm of dreams is outstanding.
After safari , we went to zanzibaar. And come Yusuf who is partner of tomadach also. Overwhelmed with his hospitality.. he personally visited with us at all places. At one point we were stucked in some place and he immediately sent us the car to rescue us.
Joseph and yusuf are the best combination for your tanzanian adventures.
