A good organized tour with breathtaking animal sightings.
The whole experience was very well organized so that everything ran smoothly, and we had really fantastic game drives. We did a tour consisting of three parts (1. Kenya safari, 2. Tanzania safari, 3. hike on Mount Kenya). All sections and all transfers were well organized and everything worked without a problem. It was great that the organizer could be reached 24/7 via WhatsApp or telephone. The entire experience was breathtakingly beautiful, and I can only recommend everyone to come to Kenya and choose this tour guide.

Smooth communication
The communication with them was very easy and smooth. They found a spot for me even just one day before the trip. I didn’t have any problems and had a great safari trip.

Fantastic, every the detail of the experience was wonderful.
From the initial contact with Joseph, the treatment was very friendly, he resolved each of our doubts and concerns. Already on the tour, the guides Sammy in Kenya and David in Tanzania showed us the best of Africa from its culture, beliefs and natural wonders, both unbeatable guides with a lot of experience and always patiently found a way to find treasures. We are very happy and grateful because we managed to see the big five in all their splendor. The plan was very well designed and varied, the food was very good and the accommodation was also very good. We fell in love with Africa, thanks to this agency, highly recommended for this long journey that, although it can be physically exhausting, the routes and the kindness of everyone makes each day more exciting and we would never want the adventure to end.
Amazing
Everything was very good! The driver knew all the places so see the animals. Communication with the agency was very good as well.

Perfect organisation, very reliable
We've been on a budget tour in Kenya and Tansania. Josana has had a lot of patience with all my questions and changes before the booking.
When we arrived and a touring the whole tour we've been able to contact him via WhatsApp and got a quick answer.
His guide for our tour was very nice and made us feel comfortable for the whole trip.
The tour was great. We booked a budget tour and even the lodge have been basic it was a great experience. We're all vegans and he managed that very well.
We've had a lot of fantastic animal sightings and learned a lot about the country. So, even with a budget tour, we got a lot for the money.
We're absolutely happy with Josana and wouldn't hesitate to book again with that company.

The Kenya part is good, and the Tanzania part is changed.
The Kenya part is good, and the Tanzania part (parks visiting order and accommodation) is slightly changed. It is still a good memory for me. And drivers are all good.

Great Experience, Great Tour Operator
A lot of the budget operators are working with the same company and are putting together trips as a conglomeration of services by connecting already existing trip itineraries with drivers to drive people between the different places that the tours stop and start. Most tour itineraries are basically the same, just with different lodging at night. Because of this, a lot of the value proposition that these tours operators add is how well they are able to figure out the logistics for you and their ability to serve any requests you might.
We were working with Anthony from Josana Tours and he was excellent. He was always available via WhatsApp and was able to help with any specific needs we had. We had some questions throughout the trip and had to get more money out, and he seemed to know someone in every town who he messaged and was able to get the answers or the booking for us. He was very accommodating of our situation, and was able to deal easily with our flight coming in late (we got rushed out to the tour), as well as the additional time we wanted to spend in Nairobi. It was truly a personal experience with Anthony, which is not something you are usually able to say about budget tours.
In addition, the standard tour planning was excellent. All drivers and cabs were prepaid, Anthony would update us the day before who was picking us up and at what time, and everything went smoothly. Logistically, it was very impressive to me how all this worked and how it worked so well.
The safari itinerary was fairly standard but also impressive. We really liked the Kenya side, especially Amboseli, and would consider coming back during the summer months (although it was cool during May too - still lots of animals and impressively green). We got to see the big five and all our other fives as well. Personally, we didn't think the Serengeti was worth visiting as the grasslands were kind of boring after all the cooler parks in Kenya. The Ngorongoro crater was cool though and worth visiting and we really enjoyed camping.
Since this was a budget tour we were in glamping accommodations in Kenya plus a hotel or two and then actual camping accommodations in Tanzania. We didn't realize we were actually camping in Tanzania so we didn't bring everything we needed (soap), but as young travellers we enjoyed all of it. The glamping accommodations were actually really nice compared to what we're used to and were cooler during the night than a hotel room which was a solid plus. However, camping isn't everyone's cup of tea and if that's you case you can just ask Anthony for different accommodations for those nights and I'm sure he'd be happy to accommodate.
Overall, it was a great experience and booking with Josana Tours made it that.
