Good and helpfull safari
Tanzania Joyous Time Expeditions is an excellent company to plan your trip to Tanzania.
We had an incredible 9 day safari as a family, starting from Arusha National Park then exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and finishing with a relaxing stay on Zanzibar Island.
From the beginning Charles was amazing he responded quickly, provided us with several great options, and even arranged our domestic flights when we were struggling to find any.
Our safari guide Erick was professional and attentive, making sure every member of our family was happy and had the best experience. We saw so many animals and created memories we’ll cherish forever.
This trip was truly a dream come true. We highly recommend Tanzania Joyous Time Expeditions to anyone planning a visit to Tanzania!
A huge letdown of a company for an amazing experience
We saw an incredible amount of wildlife — lions, elephants, giraffes, even cheetahs — and the Serengeti itself is unforgettable. But sadly, the way this company operates seriously let us down.
They don’t run the safaris themselves — they take your money, then place you in a driver’s vehicle and disappear. The guide we had had never even seen the itinerary we were sold. I booked a 4-day safari with full game drives advertised everyday with Days 2 and 3 in the Serengeti. In reality, we arrived at 4:30pm on Day 2 and left by 2pm on Day 3 — barely 24 hours total. On the Day 4 we left Ngorongoro crater at 11am after being promised ‘full day’ safaris.
Worse, the company dismissed multiple messages during the trip. I gave them a chance to step in and fix things twice, asking for more game drives — all I got were generic AI-sounding replies and no action. The guide refused to change anything, saying it was his “normal” schedule and he doesn’t know what itinerary i’m talking about.
One day, we had to leave cheetahs mid-hunt and rush out of the Serengeti and on the last day the same thing to meet someone else’s flight — a recurring issue, as different people join each day with their own constraints. When I raised this, they were rude and dismissive, saying things like, “Well, on a private safari… you could have done this.” They try and pin the blame on the fact its a shared/ joining safari which is an easy cop out to try and blame you, but when you look around most people on safari are on group tours.
I booked a shared safari happily with a clear itinerary in writing in an information pack sent by them. What I got was about 60% of that — with no apology, no refund, just an attempt of a sales pitch after the trip for a taxi and hotel after they had already taken over $600 per person. All their information pack and inclusions are all lies.
The animals were amazing — but this company does not deliver what it promises. Go for someone else who delivers what they promise. You will love safari but pick the right company! Be cautious.

Awesome safari experience
We had a great time with our guide Regan a professional tour guide we appriciate him. Though the chance of seeing all the Big 5 through this trip is likely at 50/50, but his effort of finding them is always 100%. So thankfully, we saw all the big 5, including two black rhinos, plus several times of legions of wildebeest crossing over Mara River.
The operator's response to my initial inquiry for a customized safari is swift and managed to secure one of the lodges that was in high demand but he manage that and everything went well. We recommend Tanzania joyous time expeditions to be the best tour operator.

Amazing Safari to outstanding Tanzania

It Was Nice
