Perfect Safari for a Short Stay
With only a couple of days available, I was worried the trip might feel rushed, but it was organized perfectly. The pickup was on time, and the guide was energetic and knowledgeable throughout the journey.
Tarangire impressed me with its huge elephant herds and beautiful scenery, while Lake Manyara offered excellent birdlife and stunning views of the escarpment. We stopped often for photos, and the guide never hurried us. The lodge was clean, the food was delicious, and the overall service felt very personal. Africa Joy Tours made a short safari feel rich, relaxed, and unforgettable.

Safari and Zanzibar with family, 2 adults and 2 children
Everything was very well organized from our arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport. We didn't have any unexpected issues during the whole stay. The driver and the guide were really nice with us, but also with the kids.

Nice enough
That was ok. Hoped for better but that's fine. The let down was having to wait at the gate of sun city for 30 minutes for a shuttle instead of getting dropped at out accommodation. Bizarre given we were picked up from our accommodation and it ruined the whole day

Excellent and Professional service
The tour operator had to pick us at a bus stop in Nakuru at 3am, and they were there promptly, checked us into a hotel. The tour guide was on-time to take us through our agreed itinerary in Nakuru. Very friendly and answered all questions
We were booked for lunch at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge which was a great experience!

Polite, professional and flexible
I took the 3 day Murchison Falls tour, and it was full of interesting and eventful moments.
Charles is a quiet, professional and attentive tour guide. Where possible, he was also flexible ( stay longer or take a small detour at certain points).
It was a trip where I got to see the Ugandan countryside through the lenses of a local. On the road travel we stopped at a few markets and interacted with the locals.
There were several highlights, but going on foot into the Rhino Sanctuary was a thrilling experience (with professional park guides and a briefing). We were able to see these magnificent animals (one of the Big 5) through scrub as our line of demarcation.
Murchison Falls was magnificent .... like standing beside a jet engine... and columes of water spray.
I highly recommend this company and Charles.

Richard is that rare guide who combines professionalism with humor, courtesy with genuine optimism.
This was a proposal journey, and Akondo helped my boyfriend prepare every single surprise — it was absolutely perfect. Our experience exceeded every expectation. A special thank you to our guide, Richard, whose incredible professionalism made our safari truly flawless.

Excellent, exceeding expectations
The itinerary was fully customized; communication with customer service was seamless, and the plan was tailored to meet my specific needs. Our guide, Regy, was outstanding—exceptionally skilled at spotting wildlife—and led us to see many animals and experience moments that far exceeded our expectations.
