One of the best experiences in my life! And Josana Tours was always there to make our trip memorable
We had amazing time on Safari with Josana Tours. Communication was very clear and easy from the very beginning, our driver was very nice and professional. Agents from Josana Tours contacted us during our trip and made sure everything is going well.
We had everything we wished for and even more.
Very grateful for this experience and highly recommend choosing this company!

Can’t imagine a better experience!
My travel company takes small groups of women around the world on 25 trips a year. If we plan a trip to a new destination we always try to work with women-owned companies because they usually understand the type of experiences we’re looking for. This company went far above and beyond our expectations. They surprised and delighted us at every turn. The driver guides, Jack and Patrick, were very professional, friendly, and really had great instincts for finding the animals we wanted to see. Plus they are excellent drivers in even the most challenging conditions. The tour designer, Catherine, accompanied us and I really don’t know how she managed to keep us on schedule when we were dealing with nature’s clock. We have already scheduled trips with them for 2026. We put a lot of faith in them and they delivered great value to our travelers. Five stars all the way!!

All smiles with Serengeti Smile and Libe!
Our 7-day safari in Northern Tanzania with Serengeti Smile was incredible and exceeded all our expectations, in large part thanks to our excellent guide Libe! During the game drives, we managed to spot many different animals, including the Big Five and 13 (!) cheetahs. Libe was very professional, attentive and knowledgable and provided us with a lot of interesting facts about the animals. He really went the extra mile to make sure we got the most out of this trip. All accomodations we stayed in were great as well, especially the tented camps. The communication with Serengeti Smile also was very smooth, from travel advice and booking to the pick-up and drop-off at the airport. I can only recommend Serengeti Smile and Libe!

An amazing wild experience
We arrived at Arusha’s Airport and our fantastic guide, named Ringo, picked us up to start our adventure.
We saw Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro NP, Serengeti NP and Tarangire NP. The parks were absolutely fantastic, in particular Serengeti and Ngorongoro where Ringo skillfully managed to find all the “big 5”, as well as many more species.
The accommodations were beautiful, in particular Moyo Tended Camp, immersed in wild nature.
Our guide Ringo was so kind and very careful to make us feel comfortable and happy during our journey.
Thanks a lot! Matteo & Rebecca

A Trip of a Lifetime with Asili Explorer
We recently embarked on an unforgettable 12-day journey through Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda with Asili Explorer, and it truly was the trip of a lifetime. From start to finish, every detail was meticulously planned and executed, thanks to Joe, the exceptional coordinator at Asili Explorer.
Joe curated an incredible itinerary, booking us into six remarkable hotels: Aya Sophia Wildlife Villas, Gorilla Heights Lodge, Gran Melia, Hotel Des Mille Collines, Misako Luxury Camp, Ngorongoro Oldeani Lodge, Serengeti Arc Safari Lodge, and Suricata Boma Lodge. Each hotel had its own unique story and charm, leaving us torn between staying in to soak up the ambiance or venturing out to explore the wild. The accommodations were beyond compare, with warm hospitality, delectable food, and settings so enchanting that words can hardly do them justice. Joe ensured that every hotel provided packed lunches and snacks for our safari adventures, which were not only delicious but also perfectly suited for our days in the wilderness.
Our guide in Tanzania, John, a proud Maasai, was nothing short of extraordinary. His deep knowledge of the Maasai culture and his warm storytelling brought the region to life. John arranged a visit to a Maasai tribe, where we were welcomed with open hearts and learned so much about their traditions and way of life. His expertise in navigating Tarangire and Serengeti National Parks, as well as the Ngorongoro Crater, was unparalleled. John’s keen eye for spotting wildlife allowed us to witness the Big Five and many other animals up close, capturing National Geographic-worthy photos with our modest camera. His passion and detailed explanations made every moment educational and awe-inspiring.
In Rwanda and Uganda, Joe coordinated with another guide, Benson, who was equally outstanding. His professionalism and warmth matched John’s, and together, they made our journey seamless and unforgettable. The booking process with Joe was effortless, with clear communication and not a single flaw to note. His professionalism shone through in every interaction, ensuring our trip felt like a dream.
Through this journey, we forged lifelong friendships with Joe, John, and Benson. Asili Explorer didn’t just plan a trip—they crafted an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience that we’ll cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend Asili Explorer to anyone seeking an adventure filled with wonder, culture, and unparalleled beauty. This was more than a vacation; it was a dream brought to life.
Best wishes from Boston

That magical morning of balloon safari
Our trip was planned by Joshua, who clearly explained every aspect of the entire journey from the beginning. Starting from Zanzibar, the balloon safari in Serengeti was undoubtedly the most exciting experience. When I was watching the huge flocks of zebras and gnus moving in the infinite savanna from above, it felt like I was in a movie. Our guide Imma has always been calm, patient, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Tarangire's elephant and Ngorongoro's lion - everything is shown perfectly. It wasn't just a trip it was an amazing experience.
