Absolutely Amazing company
Absolutely amazing company! From start to end of our 2 day safari, the professionalism of the staff were 5 star. A member of staff met us the evening before for briefing, and was waiting for us at our accommodation on return. It was a lovely touch, that they provided us with T shirts & hats! Along with a bottle of wine/beers/cola & orange juice. For our safari. We seen all the big 5 plus many more wonderful animals. I would highly recommend booking with Joyful.

Wonderfull Guide, more than 15 years of experiences. We had an amazing Time with him !
We had an unforgettable safari experience with our guide Miraji! He is an incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate guide, and it was clear from the beginning that he has many years of experience. His 15 years in the field really make a difference, and we learned so much thanks to his explanations and expertise.
Miraji took the time to explain everything we saw, giving us interesting and detailed information about each animal and their behavior. He was very patient and never rushed us, always making sure we had enough time to enjoy and observe the animals properly. He knew exactly where to go and when to stop, which made every sighting feel special and unique.
We truly appreciated his kindness, professionalism, and attention throughout the entire safari. He made us feel comfortable and made this experience even more enjoyable and memorable.
Everything was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. We have nothing negative to say and would happily choose Miraji again for another safari. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, friendly, and passionate guide. Thank you, Miraji, for making this adventure so special!

Competent
Did the machame route with a private group of 3. There was lots of food and I felt very safe with the group. Would recommend.

Very friendly and responsive, 100% owned by women!! And by far the most luxury hiking I’ve ever done
The experience was really fantastic! The food was surprisingly really amazing (for cooking on a mountain - no idea how they did it). The operator was very communicative. The guides were incredibly experienced (over 300 trips up Mt. Kilimanjaro) and taught us a lot of Kiswahili on our trip!

Beyond our expectations
We had an incredible experience climbing Kilimanjaro with Joyful Safaris on the 8-day Lemosho Route. From the very beginning, everything was exceptionally well organized. The team took care of every practical detail, making us feel safe, well prepared, and supported throughout the entire journey.
A special thank you to our guide, Samuel, and our assistant guide, Nikson. Together with the rest of the crew, they did everything possible to make our climb as comfortable and enjoyable as it could be. Their professionalism, encouragement, and positive attitude made a challenging adventure feel much more manageable.
What impressed us the most was the dedication of the entire team. Every single person—from the guides and porters to the camp staff—worked incredibly hard, always with a smile and a genuine desire to help. Their kindness, attention to detail, and service mindset were truly exceptional and made us feel cared for every step of the way.
We would also like to give special recognition to the chef. We were amazed by the quality, variety, and taste of the meals he prepared every day, especially considering they were cooked at altitudes of over 3,000 meters. It was far beyond anything we expected and played an important role in keeping us motivated throughout the trek.
One moment that we will never forget was how the entire crew went the extra mile to celebrate my birthday on the mountain. They surprised me with a homemade birthday cake and gathered to sing for me, creating a truly special memory in such an extraordinary place. It perfectly reflected the warmth, thoughtfulness, and genuine care that the whole team showed throughout the expedition.
Unfortunately, we had to turn around at approximately 5,000 meters due to altitude-related challenges. However, this was in no way a reflection of the team’s efforts. On the contrary, we were extremely impressed by their professionalism and their unwavering commitment to our safety. As they repeatedly reminded us: “Safety and health above everything.” They made the right decisions, monitored us closely, and ensured that we always felt safe and supported.
Although we didn’t reach the summit, we still consider this an unforgettable experience, thanks to the outstanding team at Joyful Safaris. If you’re looking for a Kilimanjaro operator that genuinely cares about its clients, is highly organized, and puts safety first without compromising on service, we can wholeheartedly recommend Joyful Safaris.
