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.

Jocky Tours is a top notch professional company giving wonderful photo tours of Kenya
Steve Mwaura made our Safari wonderful. First , he is always on time for every meeting, never late. He is naturally happy, with a smile and positive attitude. He plans the day for the best; we missed our first day due to flights; so Steve worked around this to assure we still saw all. Some days were twelve hours, so much he wanted to assure we had a great Safari. Steve is a hunter of animals for photos; he tracked the animals so we had the best experiences. All the guides speak on CB radio and share when an animal is spotted; often Steve spotted them first! He is an excellent driver; taking the best way, and this is not easy with the holes in the road, slowing so we are shaken less, then going faster to save time as the road gets better. He knows his vehicle well and is respectful of it and us, his passengers. He is very flexible, whenever we wanted to do something different than the plan, he was ready with a new plan! He knows and is friends with everyone, using his relationships to his clients’ advantage, always a better place to visit, or better treatment by the people we met. There was a demonstration along one road by farmers, roads were blocked for three hours; Steve took initiative to get us out as soon as possible; all the while keeping calm with a good attitude; I would have lost my temper! Steve made our Safari great. He is a credit to Joky Safari and when we return we will insist he is again our guide.

The operator is highly experienced.
I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Jambolux Africa Safaris during my visit to Kenya in October 2023, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of incredible! From the moment I made my first inquiry to the final farewell, the entire process was seamless and professional.
The team went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of my trip was tailored to my preferences. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Kenya’s rich culture, wildlife, and history. The safari tours, in particular, were an absolute highlight—getting up close to the breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife of Kenya was an experience I'll cherish forever.
The accommodations were top-notch, offering both comfort and local charm, and I always felt well taken care of. The logistics were expertly managed, making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish, including airport transfers and guided tours.
What impressed me the most was how Steve took the time to listen to my preferences and customized the itinerary to ensure I saw the very best of Kenya. Whether it was exploring the Maasai Mara, visiting local villages, or enjoying scenic drives through beautiful national parks, every day brought something new and exciting.
If you're looking for a tour operator that provides a blend of adventure, comfort, and authentic Kenyan experiences, I highly recommend Jambolux African Safaris. They made my trip unforgettable, and I’m already looking forward to my next adventure with them!

A lifetime experience - Kilimanjaro and Safari
I would like to recomand Afrishare to everyone who’s plannig Kilimanjaro trek or safari tour in Tanzania. With my wife we had really great time with this company.
First we went to Kilimanjaro for 6 days by Marangu route with guides Kijaji and Habibu. These guides (and also whole crew) were really really nice, professional and friendly. With them we felt like with our family, they were very helpful, got us every single information what we needed, they was everywhere in time, stay with us and support us when we were tired. Thanks to Kijaji and Habibu we reached the summit succesfully. Also during the road they showed us different interesting things like flowers, animals, talked about local life. And with very good english! Thanks guys, it was a lifetime experience with you!
After great time in Kilimajaro we continued with Afrishare to safari. We had 4 days itinerar - Tanrangire, 2 days Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our friendly guide Moses had really excellent driving skills and got us to the right place safely and in time. He had special talent to found animals and got us to them really really close. Also he mentioned interesting informations about the animals, national parks and local life and all with very good english. Moses always asked us if everything is allright and I could say that it was! If we want to stop somewhere to make more photos or videos it was no problem.
The accomodation during the whole trip were really nice, the luxury camp in the middle of nowhere where a lion goes around and wildebeests miggrate throw is something you definetely must have in your wishlist.
CEO of Afrishare Ibrahim was also very friendly and nice and he arrange all itinerar according to our wishes and communication with him was very smooth, he responds all our messages immediately.
Thanks to Afrishare our dreams came true!

We made a 4 night, 5 day safari at Masai Mara, Nakuru and Ambouseli National parks with Sir Charlie as our guide. The organisation of the tour from the communication with the agency to the tour itself was excellent. Sir Charlie is a very knowledgable guide, very good driver and made the trip very pleasant for all of us. I would like to strongly recommend him for any other visitors to this amazing country.

Perfect tour
In the beginning there was a little confusion about the pick up time and the flight and upon arrival at Mtemere about our game drive.
But they managed it and it became a perfect day.
Our guide and driver Ludovick was great ( safe driver, always took good care of us and great knowledge about the Park and the wildlife!! ) the student- guide Simon on his side aswell.
The Lodge also was a perfect choice.
And the Boat Safari also a special experience.
Only the flight back in a small one-pilot-plane was frightening.
But then our nice driver Hafidh was already waiting for us and took us back to the hotel safely!!
Overall an amazing tour and absolutly worth it !
Thank you!

The tour operator is highly experienced, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about what they do.
Summiting Uhuru Peak at sunrise was breathtaking, and I owe much of that success to African Skimmer Safaris. Their seamless organization, personal touch, and unwavering support turned what could have been an overwhelming challenge into an unforgettable adventure.
If you're considering climbing Kilimanjaro, I highly recommend them. Their professionalism, dedication and warmth made the journey truly special. They ensured we had an incredible experience.

Highly knowledgeable and responsive. Efficient and charming service of the highest quality .
We were delighted to have booked our holiday through Compass Odyssey. We travelled to Victoria Falls, and then onto The Hide in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe for 3 nights and then onto Botswana for 2 nights in Chobe, 3 nights in the Okavanga Delta and 2 nights in Naxi Pan. Darren created an interesting and streamlined itinerary for us and all of the accommodation was superb and different which enhanced the overall itinerary. We loved it!
Communication was excellent from the outset and there was a sense that we were in very capable and safe hands which was reassuring. We were provided with a wealth of information which was really helpful and Ruth and Mortimer who were our guides in Zimbabwe were hugely personable whilst providing a great service.
Darren was very flexible and charming providing us with a number of options and was never “ pushy” so we were able to fully tailor the trip to our needs and budget.
I did a lot of research into tour operators and can genuinely say that we think we secured a genuinely fine service which was great value for money. It was a truly special and memorable experience . We will definitely book with them again in the future !!

Absolutely amazing!
From start to finish, our trip to Murchison Falls, a Nile cruise and a game drive safari with Jackal Adventures was nothing short of amazing! They went above and beyond to make every moment special—super organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely caring.
Every penny was well spent, and it showed in the little things: seamless logistics, thoughtful touches, and a team that truly cares about your experience. And let’s talk about our driver, Ashiraf—an absolute gem! Fun, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and hands down one of the best drivers we’ve ever had. Whether navigating the winding roads to the falls or spotting wildlife with expert precision, his skills and enthusiasm made the journey even more memorable.
If you're looking for a top-notch, stress-free adventure filled with breathtaking sights and expert guidance, Jackal Adventures is the way to go. Highly recommended!
