Everything was perfect, very well managed from A to Z
great. Anwar was a great guide and driver we saw the big 5, he knew a lot about animals and knew all the parks and where to go to see some animals. The tent in the middle of the Serengeti was simply incredible

An Unforgettable Family Safari with Joagro Safaris Tanzania
Our family recently embarked on a safari adventure with Joagro Safaris Tanzania, and I must say it was an experience we will cherish forever. Initially, I had reservations about taking our children on a safari, but Jonas from Joagro Safaris Tanzania, assured me that they could tailor the experience for our family, and he delivered on that promise in the most spectacular way.
From the very beginning, the trip was seamlessly organized, and we were warmly welcomed by the Joagro team. Jonas and his team went out of their way to ensure that our family felt comfortable and excited about the journey ahead.
Uncle Amir, our safari guide and driver, was the real star of our adventure. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wild but also had a unique ability to engage and entertain our children throughout the trip. His passion for wildlife and his dedication to ensuring we witnessed the Big Five was truly remarkable. The kids absolutely adored him, and so did we.
The entire safari experience was a blend of excitement and luxury. Our accommodations were comfortable, and the lodges and camps were well-appointed, offering stunning views of the wilderness. The food was delicious, and we were treated to traditional Tanzanian cuisine, which added a unique cultural dimension to our trip.
The highlight, of course, was the wildlife. Amir's expertise and keen sense of the animals' behaviors ensured that we had unforgettable encounters with the Big Five. From majestic lions and elephants to elusive leopards, we saw them all, thanks to Amir's dedication.
The evenings around the campfire, sharing stories and laughter, added an extra layer of magic to the experience. The Joagro Safaris team made us feel like we were part of their extended family, and their warmth and friendliness were truly appreciated.
In conclusion, our family safari with Joagro Safaris Tanzania exceeded all our expectations. It was an educational, exciting, and immersive experience that catered perfectly to our children's needs while offering a deep connection to the wonders of the natural world. I wholeheartedly recommend Joagro Safaris to anyone seeking the best safari experience in Tanzania. We are already looking forward to our next adventure with them. Thank you, Joagro Safaris, for making our family safari a dream come true.

Great company, would recommend
My wife and I went on the 6 Day Honeymoon Safari in Tanzania in October 2023 with Joagro Safaris. We had an absolutely brilliant time, our guide was Anwar who was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We saw all the animals that we wanted to see and Anwar always made sure we got in good positions for photographs. The accommodation was great throughout the stay, as well as the food. The staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout. We would definitely recommend this company, it all ran very smoothly and the itinerary and timings were stuck to impeccably thanks to Anwar.

If there is will, there is a way.
I really enjoyed this tour and its operator made sure we had everything we needed.
I mean there were hiccups but there always are. The important thing is how they were able to solve them. They were always available on the phone, helping from the shadows.
I highly recommend these guys!
It was an experience of a lifetime.
Thank you

From the booking process all the way to the end of the trip Joagro has listen to our needs and expactations. They have provided us with at magic safari that will be in our minds for the rest of our life. The driver was very keen that we was satisified and enjoyed the trip. Food and accomodation was also excellent. We would like to recommend Joagro and the driver Barnabas when you want a safari that is above the average.

Exciting and full of new experiences.
Staff was really nice and helpful, starting from chatting with manager before arriving until the trip with driver. Driver told us a lot of interesting things about history of Masai and nature of Tanzania. It was day full of surprises, exciting views and good company. Lunch was good quality and very delicious.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Trek
We chose joagro for our recent trip to kilimanjaro and didn't regret it. The whole team were great and couldn't of been more helpful. We chose the machame route over 6 days which was tough but awesome. Needless to say it wouldn't be possible without the massive effort of the team. Their level of fitness is crazy and amazing to see. Everyone involved was super friendly. The food we were cooked was really great and so much better than we expected to be eating whilst climbing a mountain, everything was freshly made and delicious. We both made the summit which topped off a really awesome 6 days. I would highly recommend this company. Thanks Jonas and all of the trekking team at joagro

Very experienced and trustworthy
We went on a seven days zafari with our guide Anwar, and we couldn’t been more satisfied, no doubt he knew where to find animals when in addition to learning us so much about them during the safari. The lunch we got was very good, and most of the hotels/camps was impeccable. We truly recommend Joagro safari, this is a journey we will always remember.

Really good safari experience, could have been better..!
My husband and I did a 4 nights 5 days tour with Joagro Safaris. Overall we had a good experience for the entire duration. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We loved the whole wilderness experience with our guide Anwar. I would like to detail out day by day experience -
Day 1 - Anwar picked us from the airport on time and dropped at the Hotel Tulia. The drive was pleasant and we loved the greenery around Arusha. The hotel is basic with minimum amenities, Ok for a transit one night stay.
Day 2 - We start around 8.30 am to Ndutu part of Serengeti. I feel it was quite late to start given the distance to cover and time taken to reach. The journey was good, however, we were rushed to the stay inside the Park which was towards Central Serengeti. We did mention we wanted to explore the ndutu side as January season is for migration to be around this area. We fell short by easy two hours, had we started early we would have had more time to spend before reach our camp stay.
Having said the above, the Signature Into the wild stay was breathtaking. The views were gorgeous. food was delicious and staff extremely courteous. We loved the overall experience at this luxury camp stay.
Day 3 - We started at 7.15 from the camp post breakfast, we didn't see many animals to our surprise, the park seemed empty. Our guide didn't do much tracking on this day we felt. Since we didn't see any cheetahs in the park, he said he would take us for another drive outside park to spot them and thus he was trying to rush us out of the park. We exited the park early around 1 pm with expectation of the cheetah spotting as he had mentioned, Upon exit, he took us hardly 2/3 Km towards ndutu lake on the road just on the entrance of the Serengeti gate and he said we must return as he doesn't have permit to take us on that side. We felt cheated as he rushed us out of the park and then did not continue the drive that he mentioned he would. We completely understand its luck to spot animals and it would have been OK that we didn't see cheetahs but we didn't like the misleading and then not following through. Also if we would have known that Ndutu lake needs additional permit we would have been ok to get that permit and spend more time in that area as the park was kind of empty of animals.
Also we had to wait almost 2 hours at the Nabi gate for getting clearance to check out which wasted a lot of time. We saw all other vehicles checking out faster than we did, and we were given a reason that network was slow. I am not sure if that was the real reason.
We reached the Ngorongoro wild camp quite late as our vehicle broke down. People on the way were extremely helpful they helped us alot in this situation. The camp was decent and food was also good.
Day 4 - Our guide was pushing to start for Ngorongoro safari early but he never told us the reason on the previous day that the permit to be in Ngorongoro was only till 3 pm. Again this felt misleading. We started around 7.30 am thinking the Crater is small and we can spend whole day inside looking for animals, however we didn't know about the time limit only till we started our safari on Day 4. If guide had told us in advance we would have planned to start early as he suggested. The ngorongoro safari was good, we spotted many animals. We decided to skip the lunch in the crater to increase our safari time. We only saw two lions, I think the claim that 22 lion families reside in the crater seems bit inaccurate.
Anwar dropped us at the bouganvillea hotel around 4 PM. The hotel was really good and food was super delicious.
Day 5 - We visited the Lake Manyara national park. The park has a dense jungle which was quite nice however we didn't see the tree climbing lions for which it is famous. Our guide told us that its not the season for lions in the park. I think since trip operators are the experts, they should guide tourists with such details while we do our bookings. We google information and plan the trip but if its not the best time to visit a park, then I would expect the expert tell us how to better plan the trip.
One last thing to add - we were promised Complimentary Wine and Beer for the trip but not served even on a single day. Since it was complimentary it felt awkward to ask. It would have been great to be honest and let us know if promised things would not be served for whatever reasons.
Overall the experience was good, Jonas and Anwar were warm and courteous. Only the above few issues left us a little dissatisfied given the amount of money we spent on the whole trip. If the above is addressed then Joagro would be a definitely 5/5 tour operator.
