A trip of a lifetime handled with care and expertise!
Visiting Tanzania has been a lifelong dream of our mom/grandma. So finally as she approaches 80 years old, through the loving care of Josh Dreamland we were able to make her dream come true. Right away Elizabeth, our Safari coordinator, helped us make a plan that would work for us and "Bibi", Swahili for grandma. All communications and plans were easy and came together smoothly. While on Safari, our guide Ombeni, helped set a pace that gave "Bibi" time to rest and still assured us plenty of time to see all the animals we could ever have dreamed of. We loved learning from Ombeni, about all the many animals we saw and the importance of preserving these habitats for future generations to enjoy. We especially loved learning from our guide about life in Tanzania. A big thank you to Ombeni for his expertise and special care. We did have a breakdown on our vehicle,as can happen on the rough roads of the Safari, but it by far was one of our favorite days. We loved seeing how all the guides came together to help eachother out and it gave us time to connect with people from all around the world including some local Maasai. To our delight while on our game drives we enjoyed warm lunches each day that were delicious and made fresh each morning. We enjoyed all of our accommodations, especially the Suricata Boma our first night. Ahsante Sana to Elizabeth, Ombeni and all the crew at Josh Dreamland for the amazing experience and really taking care of "Bibi". And a special thank you for arranging extra transportation for us after the safari making all the crazy things we wanted to do possible. Our driver Elly was so kind and accommodating to us over several days of post safari activities.

Posted on Jul 9, 2025Dear Lucia and the whole Family,
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review — it truly touched our entire team. We are deeply honored to have been part of such a meaningful journey, helping make "Bibi’s" lifelong dream come true as she approaches 80. What a beautiful way to celebrate life, family, and adventure!
It was a pleasure for Elizabeth to help craft the perfect itinerary and ensure every detail was tailored with care. We're so glad Ombeni was able to guide you at a comfortable pace, sharing not only wildlife knowledge but also the heart and spirit of Tanzania. He was truly inspired by “Bibi’s” strength and joy.
We're also grateful for your understanding during the unexpected vehicle issue — and even more so that you saw it as a positive memory! It’s a real reflection of your adventurous and kind spirit. The camaraderie among guides and the people you met along the way are part of what makes safari so special.
Thank you as well for your kind words about Elly and the extra transportation arrangements. We’re thrilled you got to enjoy every bit of your stay, both during and after the safari.
On behalf of all of us at Josh Dreamland Safari — Ahsante sana for choosing us and for trusting us to care for your family. We’ll always cherish this memory and would be honored to welcome you back anytime.
Warmest wishes,
The Josh Dreamland Safari Team

Solid service and a breathtaking experience!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience traveling with Josh Dreamland! We saw and learned more than we could have ever imagined beforehand! We don't think there's a better value that you could get for these prices. The office responded to our texts near-on immediately. Our guide was very knowledgeable, experienced and really funny. Our accomodations were really charming and we slept very well. Our cars were in decent enough condition but due to the rough terrain the transmission got damaged beyond repair so we were stranded for a while. However, we were very impressed with the organisation to get us back on the road as quick as possible and the time we lost was made up for! We want to thank everybody at Josh Dreamland but especially Angel and Bulldozer for helping us have an amazing time and completing the big 5!
Warm regards,
Steph and Jack

Great Safari with suberb wildlife viewing and a great guide
We had a great safari and saw a great array of wildlife. We saw many lions , leopads and cheetah ( including a live kill by a cheetah on an antelope.
Our guide was great, the accommodation very good and the company were much helpful when we had a few problems : our luggage missed our plane connection in Amsterdam and Josh Dreamland really helped with getting our baggage delivered to the next stop on our safari. Also on the last day the helped get a police report following the stealing of some optical equipement on our last evening. Despite our couple of problems we had a great safari and found Josh Dreamland an excellent company

Fantastic and great communication
The safari we did was 3 nights, 4 days. The company picked us up from the airport and took us to where we were staying. We booked a house because there were 5 of us. That evening, Angel and Elisabeth came to the house to explain to us the itinerary and collect the rest of the payment. Then the next day the company picked us up around 0800 to start the drive to the first location.
We did this route:
Day 1- Tarangire National Park
Day 2- Serengeti National Park
Day 3- Serengeti National Park
Day 4- Ngorongoro Crater
This route was perfect for us because we saw everything we wanted to see. We saw the Big 5 (Lions, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant, African Buffalo) plus so many more.
Night one we stayed at a lodge type place. I think we were supposed to stay in tents but for some reason we stayed in actual rooms with beds. This location also had some entertainment during dinner.
Night two we stayed in tents at a campsite in the Serengeti park.
-bring a flashlight/headlamp and bathroom tissue.
Night three we stayed in tents at a campsite on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim
-showers/toilets were much better. Only a couple showers each bathroom though (some toilet paper)
We had a chef who made our food every day. There were other groups that had box lunches, and I’m very glad we had the chef. The food was really good every day. Dennis was really great as the chef and checked in with us every day.
Both of our guides were amazing. We had Godfrey on day one and he really knew the park. The last three days we had William. He was also great and really let us get involved with telling him where to stop and for how long.
**If I had to do it again, I would have picked the mid-range option. You stay in a little bit nicer of accommodations. The tents were cool, glad we did it but wouldn't do it again (we are 37 and 39 years old). It was worth it for the money saved though.
**remember to bring USD ($$$) to tip the drivers and chefs. I am not sure how much they make from the companies who hire them, so tipping is very important for their livelihood. It’s recommended to tip $15-$25 per day, per person on the Safari (so $15 per day for the driver and $15 per day for the chef per person)
After the Safari was finished the driver took us back to the city. We had a flight out that evening so we had the company bring us to the airport for an extra fee. Our flight was really late (1150 pm) so we had plenty of time. Would not recommend a flight out of JRO any earlier than 830pm. If you do, let the driver know ahead of time.

Highly professional team caring for everything in the nicest way
We did the 5days safari with mid range lodges and really loved it! Our guide Lewis was very friendly, full of information about the nature and wildlife and a safe driver! We saw such a lot of animals like a lot of lions, cheetahs, servals, elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests etc.
Everything on the safari with Josh Dreamland was very well organized by Eliabeth, who was all the time caring and communicate with us extremely friendly! Thank you, Elizabeth!
We had beautiful accommodations in wonderful surroundings! Very good meals, even the lunches in the wilderness were delicious! And they tried to avoid plastic and any trash in a impressing way (we even had porcelain plates 👍) ! We really highly recommend Josh Dreamland! And we will definitely book again another safari with them!

Totally Fantastic
Excellent service, lovely lodges and friendly , helpful people. Kelvin our driver guide was soooo good.
We are very experienced safari goers and this rated as one of the best, maybe the best, given the amazing wildlife we saw.
KML didn't transfer our luggage so we arrived with nothing and we were leaving for our first lodge early next morning. The amazing Elizabeth in the office liaised with the airport and sorted the problem. Kelvin got the luggage for us so we could contine our trip in clean clothes!
Would definitely recommend Josh Dreamland

Amazing welcome to Tanzania
From the very beginning of ccommunication with Josh Dreamland Safari there was fast, clear and friendly communication with Angel. All transfers from the airport/hotel were easy and on time.
The guide who led our safari "King David" had excellent english, a great sense of humour and was exceptionally knowledgable about the native flora, fauna and general local customs and culture. Our chef was fantastic, providing delicious food, taking care of cleaning and great conversation.
The accomodation that I selected was camping 2 nights and hotel 1 night. All of the accomodation was clean, compfortable and safe. I can reccomend that you bring toilet paper and ear plugs for sleeping- although you may not always need them, they are great to have with you.
In terms of the safari and animals, this was my first safari experience and I am so glad that I chose Josh Dreamland Safari. Our guide got us very close to the animals, so that we were able to get excellent pictures - even with my average smartphone camera. We saw an incredible variety of animals, more than I expected and it was a life changing experience.
We also had the opportunity to visit a Massai village and speak with the local people about their life and culture. They were very welcoming, friendly and their singing and dancing was a privillage to see. Like many parts of Tanzania they have markets for local art for sale.
The group of women who I met in my safari group were incredible, friendly and really enriched my solo travel. For my ladt day I was provided a private driver to Materuna waterfalls, lunch and coffee experience. The transport was safe, compfortable and my guide was very friendly and knowledgable. The food was excellent and it was a highlight of my tour.
I had my birthday whilst on safari and the beautiful Angel was so kind and generous organizing a gift for me - she went above and beyond in all areas.
I highly reccomend booking a safari with this company, with much love from Australia.

A very nice experience
We have booked a 4 day safari with Josh Dreamland covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire. We had a wonderful time, our driver Lucas was a very professional tour guide, explained a lot about the parks, the animals, everything that we have encountered. We never had any doubts about our safety, tour organization was smooth, accomodation and food was provided exactly as agreed. I can absolutely recommend booking with them.
