Amazing tours.
With Africa Joy Tours, we had an amazing five-day safari in Tanzania. Our guide, James, was very considerate of us and our needs. He was very calm and friendly, knew a lot about the animals, and cared about the tourists' well-being, even though we arrived during the rainy season. He picked us up from the airport, waited for us when we needed a break, was always on time, and wanted to make sure we had a wonderful day.
Many thanks to Clinton, the proprietor of Africa Joy Tours, and James.

The guides were excellent and knowledgeable
The guides were excellent and knowledgeable - with their help, we tallied 79 different species of animals and birds, including all of the big five at close range (OK, the one rhino was a bit far away) except leopards. Lots of hippos wallowing, giraffes grazing. In the Maasai Mara, we dramatically saw a hyena single-handedly catch a topi (an antelope three times its size), bring it down, and share it with its colleagues - not pleasant, but compulsive viewing - after 15mins, it was left to the vultures.

Posted on Oct 23, 2024"Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable experience with our knowledgeable guides and were able to spot 79 different species, including the Big Five. It sounds like you had some truly incredible wildlife encounters, especially that dramatic hyena and topi scene in the Maasai Mara—nature at its rawest, indeed! We appreciate your kind words about the guides and are glad they helped enhance your safari. We hope you'll return someday, maybe next time with a chance to see the elusive leopard!"

It was a pleasant hike up the Kili, they all worked very hard that you can make it up.
I booked the 5 days Kilimanjaro hike via Marangu Route.
The overall experience was great. They were all working hard for you to make it up to the summit. Especially without my guide (Patrick) I wouldn’t have made it to the top. He did an outstanding job.

Best value for money we could get!
We were 8 people in two 4W cars with 2 great guides. They stopped whenever we wished to (for example: local market by the road). The accomodation provided was better than we expected. Not to mention that we paid for a mid budget safari and slept in luxurious tented lodges and best placed hotels on our way. The room view of the Ngorongoro creater was an extra gift! If you consider any other tour operator - go with Africa Joy Tours!

Amazing expirience
My little tribute!
A Very big thank you goes to Africa Joy Tours for an amazing and unforgettable adventure. All our guides, porters, and cooks did everything they could for us to enjoy through the journey as efficiently as possible.
I want to give a special shoutout to our main guide Ibrahim Mashaka who is extremely professional, knowledgeable, a very good leader, confident and with no doubt a Very good person with a beautiful mindset.
Him and his team paced all of the hikers as best as possible to ensure proper acclimatization and made our dreams come true. All 21 climbers summited the Uhuru peak and came back happy and sound.
Long story short. With all my heart, I recommend Ibrahim Mashaka as a guide.
I recommend Africa Joy Tours.
Cheers
Natasa

Precise and Professional
We had really a wonderful experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with the team of Mr. Steven, and I can only suggest his crew for all the other climbers.
Mr. Steven and Mr. Godfrey delivered an experienced guidance and a passionate commitment throughout the whole ascent, and the rest of team was simply incredible in supporting us in all our needs and make the climb feel very easy.
Managamenet organized by Mr. Christian was always very precise and punctual.
Top experience!

Best holiday and honeymoon ever!
We just wanted to write and say what a fantastic trip we have had. The accommodation you selected was perfect and we got to see 38 different animals (including cheetah and leopard!!) from all of the parks you recommended. However, a very special person made sure that we had the best honeymoon ever, and that was godfrey. Godfrey feels like a friend to us after this trip. He gave us excellent advice about different cultures and helped us to save money on gifts. He is funny, kind, very helpful and very professional...and made sure that we got the best chance to see lots of different animals. At each location, he would also stay with us to make sure we were checked in & everything was arranged and safe for us - this made us feel very comfortable and safe in each place, which was very important to us in our first time in africa. He even made sure we were safe our trips, such as the balloon ride. I would highly recommend Godfrey as a driver and please make sure that he knows how grateful we are for his kindness.
Now on to zanzibar for some relax time..😎
Thanks again (and for answering all of my questions before we came - I know that I asked alot!) ☺️
Kathleen and Sean ☺️

Well planned and unforgettable trip
The tour did exactly what they said they would! We experienced so many beautiful landscapes and we stayed in nice hotels along the way.
The cost was great for all that was included.
The staff was great and so kind.
Once in a lifetime trip!
