Best value for money we could get!
5/5

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!

Excellent
5/5

We joined the Africa Joy Tours for the Tanzania Safari 8 days trip in April 2019. We are so lucky to have Daniel as our driver guide that we saw the BIG FIVES and lots of other wildlife even in low season. He is friendly, cheerful, , dedicated, knowledgeable and most important he loves his job. With his sharp eyes he always find where the animals are and even all those beautiful birds. With his great knowledge of the wildlife, birds and everything in Tanzania, we have more understanding of this country. He gave us lots of time to take photos and watch the wildlife in leisure. We highly recommend Africa Joy tour and Daniel as excellent driver guide.

It was more than I imagined!
5/5

I read all the reviews before booking this safari and ever with all of of the 5 start ratings, it doesn't does Africa Joy Tours no justice. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!!

From the beginning Suzy was so attentive and accommodating while we communicated during the booking process. She was very thorough making sure we considered everything in preparation for the trip.

Now to the actual safari, words are insufficient in describing my contentment! Every step of the way, Africa Joy Tours have exceeded my already high expectations with such immense attention to detail. They have considered their guest in every thing that they do and it is clear that customer satisfaction is primary.

In addition to their superior customer service and attention to detail, it is the tour guides at Africa Joy Tours that sets it light years ahead of any other company. Our tour guide Joackim has been nothing short of SPECTACULAR! This man is not only the nicest and friendliest person, he knows his stuff. You can tell he enjoys his job and goes the extra mile to make sure we have a fantastic experience. He studies the animals in his spare time and he knows the parks like the back of his hand. There hasn't been a question that Joackim hasn't been able to answer and I doubt we will find one. I have never experienced a person that goes so far above and beyond to make their guests happy. He isn't just satisfied with driving you around to say he is doing his job. Joackim always manages to find the rare occurrences. On our trip we have seen a leopard, 7 cheetahs, lions mating, lions kill and eat a zebra, among so many other views. Every day I tell Joackim, I am more and more convinced we made the right decision.

If you are ever considering a safari, I HIGHLY recommend Africa Joy Tours and ask for Joackim. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

It was a pleasant hike up the Kili, they all worked very hard that you can make it up.
5/5

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.

Amazing and Safe Trek to the Summit
5/5

This was the most incredible trip. Our guide, Imma, was incredibly knowledgeable about the mountain and got us to the summit safely. The entire crew paid so much attention to detail of any of our concerns. We were surprised many times by something as simple as getting spaghetti for breakfast when I had mentioned it once on the trail because I wasn’t feeling up to eating anything else. I felt so cared for and safe this entire trip, I would not recommend anything but them

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!

Best holiday and honeymoon ever!
5/5

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 ☺️

Amazing expirience
5/5

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
