Sam and Ben Made Our Tanzania Safari Unforgettable
We had an incredible Tanzania safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to Sam and Ben, who were absolutely amazing throughout the entire trip. Their knowledge of the parks, the wildlife, and the best times and locations to spot animals made every single game drive memorable. They knew exactly where to take us and when to be there, which made a real difference in what we got to see.
Managing a group of 10 is no small task, but they handled it with ease and stayed incredibly flexible with our pace, preferences, and changes along the way. The photographer who joined us was also fantastic and captured the trip beautifully.
The warm bowls served daily on the drives were a lovely touch, and the food overall was okay, nothing exceptional, but perfectly fine. What really stood out was how kind, patient, and genuinely welcoming the whole team was.
Highly recommend, especially for larger groups looking for a personalized experience.

Best trip ever!
We have just returned from the most incredible trip to Kenya, planned perfectly by Tour with Pipi in Africa, and it was honestly the best trip we have ever been on.
From start to finish, every detail was flawlessly organised. Our journey took us from Nairobi to Naivasha (Lake Nakuru) then on to the Maasai Mara for an unforgettable safari experience. We stayed at the beautiful Pearl Mara resort, where we enjoyed breathtaking wildlife encounters and exceptional hospitality. From there, we travelled to Chale Island, often described as the Maldives of Kenya, and it absolutely lived up to the reputation with its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful atmosphere.
We then visited Mombasa, a vibrant city rich in culture and history. One of the highlights was an amazing food tour with the wonderful Chef Chiquila, who introduced us to the flavours and traditions of the region in such a memorable and authentic way.
What made this trip truly special was how well “Tour with Pipi in Africa” listened to our needs as a family travelling with our one year old daughter. As a mother, I value routine because it helps keep my daughter happy, calm, and content. The team completely respected that. They carefully designed an itinerary that allowed us to enjoy everything Kenya has to offer without exhausting our baby or disrupting her feeding and sleeping schedule. We never felt rushed, and every transfer and activity was timed thoughtfully.
Most importantly, we felt safe throughout the entire trip. Our daughter remained healthy and happy from beginning to end, which gave us enormous peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy the experience.
The professionalism, attention to detail, local knowledge, and genuine care shown by the team exceeded all our expectations. If you are considering a trip to Africa—especially as a family—we cannot recommend Tour with Pipi in Africa highly enough. They created memories that we will treasure for a lifetime, and we are already dreaming about our next adventure with them!

A Truly Unforgettable Safari with Enoch & Maasailand Adventure and Awareness
This trip turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences of our lives. Over the course of our journey we explored Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara — and capped it off with a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the plains that we'll never forget. Every cent was worth it.
The Safari:
The landscapes were stunning in a way photos can't capture. We spotted all the animals on our wishlist, but what stayed with us was the real understanding we gained of how the whole ecosystem fits together. The lodges and camps were thoughtfully chosen too — comfortable, but never disconnected from the wild around us.
Our Guide: Enoch:
Enoch was the soul of this trip. Yes, he's an outstanding guide with sharp instincts for finding wildlife and genuine reverence for nature — but he quickly became far more than that to us.
A real friendship:
We figured this would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip and nothing more. Instead we walked away with a lasting bond. His knowledge is impressive, but it was his warmth, the honest conversations, and all the laughs along the way that made it unforgettable. We always felt safe, and we left with a true friend in Tanzania.
The Sunrise Balloon Ride: Drifting silently above the Serengeti as the sun came up, watching herds move across the golden grass below — it was pure magic and one of the best decisions we made.
Enoch's respect for the animals and the land is something rare. This wasn't just a holiday; it shifted the way we see things. We came for the wildlife, and we're so grateful we found a friend in Enoch. We'll absolutely be back.
Friendly and knowledgeable
John was a great tour guide. He knew the park well and knew exactly where to go!

Friendly, professional, and well-organized safari operator with great local expertise.
We had a great safari experience with Joagro Safaris Tanzania. The trip was well organized, and the team was friendly, helpful, and always responsive before and during the safari. We visited beautiful parks, saw amazing wildlife, and enjoyed unforgettable moments as a group. Our guides were knowledgeable and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. Special thanks to Jonas and the Joagro team for their warm hospitality and support. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Professional, organized and knowledgeable
My wife and I just finished an incredible 6-d trip with this group. It was exactly what we hoped for! The tour is very well-run, with all of the sites and transfers arranged. Our guide was super knowledgeable, able to answer all of our nature and culture questions. Since we expressed an interest in birds, he made a special effort to find different types (60!). The wildlife was amazing— we saw so many elephants, giraffes, impala, hippos, and warthogs. We even saw cheetahs, lions, and a leopard! The guide has a good understanding of where best to go at each site, plus the guides all share the best current locations over radio. Just amazing.
We were well taken care of, particularly the food. We had our own private chef, who customized the meals. The food was better than anything we had in our pre-trip nice hotel. The tents were comfy, including cozy beds, a basic shower and potty.
Overall Sox and his team are excellent guides, highly recommended!

Beyond all Expectations, Perfect!
We had two competing interests with this vacation: relaxation and adventure. We were also pressed for time (all we had was 6 days). Beyond The Plains managed to surpass every expectation we had.
We landed in Nairobi and drove to Masai Mara on our first day. Instead of heading straight to the camp, we stopped at Masai village. We participated in a dance performance and experienced Masai culture. Our host, Josh, was very helpful and answered all questions we had with patience and hospitality. It felt real, authentic and wholesome. From there, we headed to our Camp which was substantially more comfortable than we had imagined.
On the next day, we left early for our game drive. During our time in the Park, we were able to catch all the animals on our bucket list (lion, hippo, buffalo, giraffes, elephants, ostrich to name a few). We also managed to catch a Cheetah devouring an impala just after it had completed a kill. This was an exhilarating experience. Duncan, our guide, had over 25 years of experience. He knew the park like the back of his hand and was always happy to answer our questions (even the silly ones). The game drive was one of the most fulfilling experiences I have had while traveling and will recommend this to anyone, even those not interested in nature or animals. We ended the game drive with a sun downer which was calming and gave us the opportunity to reflect on all we had seen.
The next day, we drove to Nairobi from where we took our flight to Diani beach. Upon reaching, we enjoyed a delicious late lunch at the Salty Squid before reaching Diani Sea Lodge where were to stay. While our initial introduction to our accommodation was a bit disappointing (a couple of mini-issues with the room we were allotted), we reached out to Andrew at Beyond The Safari and he got us changed to a much better room. From this point on, everything was perfect. It was so good that we actually extended our stay by a day. Andrew was very helpful to manage our last minute extension. We spent our days chilling at the beach, occasionally entering the water and enjoying the all-inclusive buffet, snacks and drinks. On our last day, we even went snorkeling to catch some marine life.
The whole experience was as smooth and seamless as could have been.
On our last day, we took our flight to Nairobi, where Michael picked us up from the air port and took us to the Nairobi national park. Here we got to visit the elephant orphanage - a thoroughly wholesome experience. We also got to explore the park and see some wildlife there. We told Michael that we had seen everything at Masai Mara, except a rhino. Michale tried very hard to show us a rhino and just when we had given up hope, we got to see two white rhinos - a mother and a calf! This completed our bucket list for the wildlife. The rhinos stayed close to our car with the calf playing around for a good few minutes before walking away.
Lastly, we went to the giraffe center in Nairobi to feed the giraffes. This was also very fun and a great way to close our trip. Michael dropped us at the air port.
What stood out throughout the trip was Beyond the Safari's responsiveness. It felt like they were more interested in making this vacation a success than we were, which was great!
We managed to have a vacation full of adventure, as well as relaxation. There's nothing more we could have wanted from this vacation.

Great
all is great from pickup to 4th day of tour.tour guide very attentive and knowledgeable,keep up the explanation (Roger)
however can improve taking notes on client requirement.
-My 6 days tour meal box wasn't gluten free as per agreed. the tour probably missed it because they had too many bookings each day.
-Inform client if skipping the location then we will understand better in advance dont give hope example Baboon cliff.Whatever stated on iternary that's what client paid.
-Keep client contact number private and confidential dont simply share to somewhat,stick to one marketing agent in charge.it is for good communication system.
