Amazing safari, incredible people and memories for life! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
The safari was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! But beyond the incredible animals, the stunning landscapes and everything I had the chance to see, it was the people who made this adventure even more special.
A special thank you to our guide, Amiri. Thank you for the great energy, all the knowledge you shared and your dedication. You made this experience even more special, and I’ll definitely keep some amazing memories from this adventure.
And of course, a huge thank you to Jems! Besides the delicious food, thank you for your kindness and great vibes!
Thanks also to Robert and Amos, two other guides who joined me for the last two days of my safari. Thank you for all your help and for making those days so memorable!
To Daniel, the young guy Jems arranged for me to visit the village where one of our campsites was located. This turned out to be one of the best experiences I had in Tanzania! Visiting the village, experiencing the local culture and getting a different perspective on how people live and their traditions was truly special. And of course, enjoying a few proper shots of Gongo! 😄 Thank you so much for everything!
A big thanks as well to Jeremiah, the cook. Good kid! 🙏🏽
And thanks to Ilfan, who picked me up from the airport! He showed me around Arusha, and we had a lovely afternoon together.
I’m leaving with incredible memories, plenty of stories to tell and, above all, feeling lucky to have met such amazing people along the way.
I wish all of you nothing but the very best! I hope life brings you lots of good things and that, who knows, our paths might cross again one day. It would be a pleasure to see you all again! 💛
Amiri and Jems, my brothers! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
If you’re thinking about going on a safari in Tanzania, I couldn’t recommend this experience more. It was simply amazing! Of course, every experience is different, and travelling solo made the whole adventure even more special for me!

Experience the Beauty and Adventure of Mount Kilimanjaro
Mount Kilimanjaro is an inspiring destination for anyone who enjoys adventure and the beauty of the natural world.

Wonderful experience and great arrangement
First of all , I want to thank the great and kindest guide Emmanuel , he is a fine young man with great patience. And he has a great sense of where could be a good view of wild animals . My wife tells me this time in Tanzania, she sees a lot of animals she didn't capture in Kenya . Especially that day we are heading north Serengeti to see the river cross of wild beast . We are parking exactly where the crossing happened, it's so magical . And every time when I discuss the next day plans , he always gives a straight words of the necessary time we need to take off , that makes us not missing almost nothing in the journey. Thanks again Emmanuel !

Attentive and quick!
Imara was responsive and helpful from the first inquiry to the follow-up. Costs were clearly outlined, options for lodging and timing and add ons made it easy for us to make decisions and we are so pleased with the service we received for our first trip to Amboseli!

Best Safari Decision We Made
Choosing Africa Joy Tours was the best decision of our Tanzania trip. From the airport pickup onward, the team was punctual, friendly, and genuinely interested in making our safari comfortable and memorable.
The safari itself was outstanding and far better than we expected. We visited beautiful parks filled with wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and many colorful birds. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained animal behavior, local culture, and conservation in an engaging way. The vehicle was comfortable, the picnic lunches were fresh and well prepared, and the accommodation was clean and relaxing after long game drives. Every activity started on time, and the organization throughout the journey felt smooth, professional, and completely stress free.
The spectacular wildlife sightings and warm hospitality made every day exciting, relaxing, and truly unforgettable for our entire group.
I would happily recommend Africa Joy Tours to friends and family because they provided excellent service, wonderful guides, and unforgettable safari memories.

Unforgettable 10- day Safari with Africa Starpal and our prefect guide Manu
Our safari with Africa Starpal completely exceeded our expectations from start to finish. If you are still hesitating about traveling to Kenya, I would say it is definitely one of the best and most unique experiences you can have.
The highlight was undoubtedly our guide, Manu. His bush expertise, patience, and sharp eyes allowed us to spot incredible wildlife—including all of the Big Five, and to our surprise, dozens of lions. Rather than simply rushing to crowded radio sightings, Manu took the time to position our vehicle for optimal lighting, photography angles, and observing animal behavior. Most importantly, he prioritized animal welfare, always keeping an ethical and respectful distance without ever harassing the wildlife. He even learned the names of the animals in several languages (including Mandarin) to help us identify them faster!
Also, if possible, do not miss the hot air balloon ride in the Maasai Mara. The breathtaking view from above is absolutely a major highlight!
We cannot recommend Africa Starpal and Manu enough—truly an experience of a lifetime!

An Unforgettable Safari – A Dream Come True! 🦁❤️
Our safari was absolutely amazing, a truly unforgettable experience and a dream come true! We were lucky to have the best guide, Koshu, who made every moment so special. His knowledge, kindness, passion, and dedication made this journey even more incredible.
One of the most incredible moments was witnessing a cheetah catching its prey in the wild! 🐆 What an extraordinary and unforgettable experience!
Highly recommended! An experience of a lifetime with an exceptional guide. Asante sana, Koshu! 🐘🦒🌍❤️

An unforgettable experience
We will never forget our Safari with Serengeti smile. Patricia was extremely accommodating and patient while we made our choices, often asking to amend things which was never an issue for her. She gave great advice to make sure that we were making the correct choices for our trip and we are truly grateful that she customised the perfect trip for us. Then we met our guide Samwell, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide to take us through the parks and helped us see 4 of the 5 big 5. We had extremely close elephant encounters but Sam also made sure to respect the animals and not interfere with them. There is nothing we would have changed about our trip, everything went seamlessly from landing in Arusha to departing again to Zanzibar everything was taken care of. Thank you so much Patricia and Samwell, we are counting down the days until we can book with Serengeti smile again.

Amazing experience
We booked a private safari to Amboseli with Balu and we're so happy we did! Our driver & guide, Hopes, showed us so many incredible details, and his knowledge in explaining them made the experience truly unforgettable. His own enthusiasm and interest about the park and its animals was palpable! Everything was arranged very well, from lodgings to the game drives. On top of that, they were so helpful to arrange our train tickets to Mombasa and later to Nairobi. We definitely recommend booking with Balu and Hopes!

Once in a lifetime adventure - roadtrip in Namibia
I usually organize all my trips myself, but for our first time in Africa I felt I needed more support and inside tips. I decided to go for Viatu because of its great expertise in Namibia and of its care for sustainable travel. Ever since our first call with Mardi I realized we had made the best possible choice! Mardi really took the time to understand our way of traveling and created a perfect itinerary throughout the whole country, with focus on nature and wildlife on a medium budget. Every single question we had (and we had many!) was answered and we left for Windhoek feeling fully prepared. And what a trip we had!! 2 weeks, 3269 km, a very wobbly but adventurous Suzuki Jimny, amazing eco-luxury stays, crazy wildlife and out of the world landscapes. Half of our nights was spent on budget tented camps and even in those cases we had a great experience.
Namibia is one of those trips that need a lot of preparation, an adventurous soul and a good travel agency ready to support you before and during your trip. What we experienced in Namibia will always stay in our memories and hearts. 100% recommend for Viatu!
