Joyland Safaris arranged a wonderful, memorable, stress free Safari for 22 of us.
Thanks to Joyland Safaris & Mr Gideon.
This was a major trip for us - 22 friends, from 5 years to 63 years, from 6 countries doing a safari across Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar. Mr Gideon was wonderful, constant, clear communication - regular advice, perpetual patience with us, changes & queries. The trip was everything that was promised and MORE - it by far, exceeded our expectations !! Pickups, hotels, lodges, vehicles, guides, food, excursions were all pretty much seamless & friendly.
We were still doing changes just days before we left - and he was always accommodating - meeting us personally at several instances along the tour - to make sure everything was on track - getting feedback, answering questions and offering advice. His team, drives & guides are all very experienced, well versed, friendly & fun - they felt like part of the family and we were with them, in vehicles, on Safari, for days on end ! These guys KNOW where to go, how to find the wildlife, where to stay and much more - oh - and great with the kids too !
Special Note - we had a Hot Air Balloon ride arranged in the Masai Mara,but at the last minute the pilot became ill and it was cancelled - we were informed at 6pm the night before (and it was a 4 am start the next day) - so I called Mr Gideon to inquire if we could book something very similar in the Serengeti just 3 days later. By morning, he had secured refunds for the cancelled ride, booked the same for Serengetti, confirmed tickets, arranged for an agent to meet us and negotiated to absorb the difference in fees - all before 9 am.
We had a FANTASTIC trip - saw everything we wanted to see and MUCH more and will have fond memories for EVER !

Unforgettable Experience
We spent 2 weeks in the wilderness together with the 3 most awesome companions you could wish for on a trip like this. We felt safe at all times, saw all of the big 5, learned alot about the animals and the country of Botswana and felt at home in the bush due to Bens knowledge and openness, Wilsons DELICIOUS food and positivity and Daddies hospitality, and funny character. Any insecurities that we had bevore we started our trip to botswana instantly went away the second we first met Lucky and the crew! There was no doubt that these two weeks were going to be one unforgettable experience. And so it was. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

Remarkable experience...outstanding in all respects! “Big Five in One Day,” among many others!
My wife, sister-in-law and I had a simply wonderful time with Tanzania Choice Safaris and had an amazing experience in all respects that exceeded our expectations; don’t hesitate, don’t worry, you will really enjoy this safari!
We started taking in the animals at Lake Manyara, spent the night at the Acacia Farm Lodge, another day at Ngorongoro Crater, then on to the Serengeti for two nights at the Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge, ending with several more hours touring before we left from Seronera airfield.
The excellent customer service began with Brenda carefully working with us to tailor our own flights, accommodations, parks and itinerary...she is a delight, thoughtful in planning, and very thorough; everything went precisely as it should have. Accommodations were excellent!
Our safari guide, Leslie, was an absolute joy to be around and singlehandedly ensured we had a truly wonderful experience. A real gentleman, he combined an excellent knowledge of the animals and the various parks, with a witty, funny manner and a clear desire to ensure our experience would be a personalized, one-of-a-kind, amazing tour. He answered our many questions, told stories and added amusing anecdotes along the way. He is an excellent driver who did a remarkable job navigating us around without need for maps or gps. Even better, he kept in constant contact on the radio with other guides and park rangers, which ensured we would see all the best stuff. This led to some amazing sights, but also to some hilarity, for example, when the elusive black rhino was discovered and rangers were trying to herd it back into its usual area.
Afterwards, as we were going through a book on East African animals, we realized that we had seen virtually all of those featured, along with many colorful and interesting birds. We feel blessed and humbled to have been able to revel in God’s amazing creation!
Thanks for such a marvelous time!

Amazing trip- planned efficiently, with timely and friendly communication and passion for Uganda.
Kisoro tours helped us plan a wonderful 8 day trip with gorilla treks, chimpanzee trek, a drive through Queen Elizabeth NP and a 3 day trek of Rwenzori. Plans had to be changed in the last minute due to troubles in Congo which was also part of our itinerary. Dan was efficient and quick with his emails, adjusting to our needs and the last minute changes were smooth and went without a hitch. Definitely recommend them.

There are someting you must do in your life,this is the one - Safari in Kenya.
We took a 12 days Safari in August 2018 operated by Twinklestartours, it’s our first time to visit Africa, before we came. We have many questions about Africa such as Hot, dusty , unsecured, no good food ,,,etc, after the tour, it became a amazing journey which you must do in your life.

Excellent organization!
Perfectly organized safari in Mikumi from Zanzibar! A prompt reaction to all questions, an acceptable budget, everything is exactly on time and on time. From the hotel in Zanzibar a transfer was organized for me to Dar es Salaam and then to Mikumi and back, as well as spending the night in hotels in Mikumi and Dar. Excellent driver (Abdul) and guide in Mikumi (Gilbert) - made my trip unforgettable and allowed to make a huge number of successful shots and videos!
Asante sana, Mwajabu Mo Sultan!

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Martin O'Sullivan
Good selection of animals and some of the Big 5 too. Lots of buffalo, hippo, and elephant by the river. Stay in the right place and you will have them right beside your room.
