Always responding and fair price
Our three-day safari in Tanzania was overall a truly fantastic experience. The organization on site worked very well, and we were able to see an incredible number of animals in the different national parks – including elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, and many other species. The Ngorongoro Crater was the absolute highlight for us. Lake Manyara pleasantly surprised us, and Tarangire was closest to what you typically imagine a safari to be like – also excellent!
The accommodation (Ngare Lodge) fit the safari perfectly. It was very clean, practical, and exactly what you would expect for a trip through the national parks. The staff were exceptionally friendly.
Another very positive aspect was the price-performance ratio. For everything you experience and see, the safari is very fairly priced.
Communication with Naite from Joyful Safaris was always very friendly and helpful. We received answers to all of our questions, even during the tour via WhatsApp. Naite picked us up from our hotel at the beginning and also organized a transfer for us after the safari.
Overall, we can highly recommend Joyful Safaris. Anyone who wants to experience Tanzania’s wildlife up close will have a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
A few tips: For the safari, it’s best to bring only carry-on luggage, or ideally just a backpack. We brought far too much, but Naite kindly stored our belongings for us and returned them at the end. Also: bring US dollars or exchange money into Tanzanian shillings. Euros are widely accepted, but their value is often estimated a bit lower ;)

Great experience
We took a tour of various national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. We had different guides in both countries, but the transition went smoothly. Our accommodations were pleasant and the food was good. We had a guide in Kenya who was very knowledgeable about the animals and respectful of nature and wildlife. Dextrip regularly asked us how our trip was going and if we needed anything. We are very satisfied with Dextrip and would definitely recommend them for your next safari!

Amazing 5-Day Safari in Nyerere & Mikumi
We did a 5‑day safari in Nyerere and Mikumi in February 2026 with Kihindo Tours and Safaris, a local Tanzanian agency, and the experience was incredible—especially for such a low price.
We were a couple traveling together, and everything was perfectly organized. Our guide, Mike, was outstanding: extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and great to talk with. Thanks to him, we saw almost all kinds of animals in peaceful, uncrowded areas.
The accommodations were excellent—very clean rooms, great food, and warm hospitality.
Overall, an unforgettable safari that we highly recommend!

Well organized and fair price
I had a wonderful experience with Arina. I was on a 5 day safari to 3 different reserves. All were outstanding. Everyone knows Masai Mara but a unique treat was Crescent Island in Navaisha where you can walk amongst the animals (no predatory creatures). The driver was very good and the stays at 3 different hotels on the reserves was amazing, big rooms, nice facilities, good food. Lian was so helpful with everything. She even did a special favor for me that saved me lots of hassle getting home. I highly recommend Arina.

Peter is AMAZING! Best Birthday Trip! Incredible Safari
My safari experience with Peter was truly unforgettable. 🦁🦁
Before arriving in Kenya, I read various safari reviews online, but something about Live in Love and people describing his calm professionalism and kindness immediately gave me peace of mind. As a solo female traveler visiting Kenya from the UK for the first time, safety and trust were extremely important to me. I decided to book with Peter straight away — and I am so grateful to God that I did.
From the very beginning, Peter exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly punctual (often early), organised, thoughtful and deeply attentive throughout the entire experience. He made sure I felt safe, comfortable and well looked after at every moment. His hospitality and calm presence made travelling alone feel effortless and peaceful.
Peter curated the most beautiful experience for me. Captured pictures and videos of me as a solo traveller. We visited incredible locations including the Giraffe Centre and Nairobi National Park, where I had the once-in-a-lifetime privilege of seeing lions, rhinos, zebras and giraffes in their natural environment. Witnessing these magnificent animals and the beauty of Kenya’s landscape felt deeply spiritual — a powerful reminder of the wonder of God’s creation.
He also introduced me to some stunning boutique restaurants and hotels in Nairobi, which made the experience feel even more special. As I was celebrating my birthday during the trip, the entire day felt peaceful, intentional and incredibly memorable.
What stood out most about Peter is not only his deep knowledge of Kenya and its wildlife, but his genuine kindness and care for the people he guides. You can truly feel that he wants every visitor to leave Kenya with a meaningful and beautiful memory.
This was my first safari, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. Peter completely exceeded every expectation and made it a life-changing experience.
I cannot recommend him highly enough ❤️
I will absolutely be returning to Kenya — and when I do, Peter and Live in Love will be the first person I call. I’ve told all my friends and family!
Thank you, Peter, for an extraordinary experience.

We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a more seamless experience. We will certainly recommend
My husband and I recently returned from a private safari in Tanzania, and we wanted to share our wonderful experience.
From the very beginning, the entire trip was perfectly organized. Every detail was handled with care, allowing us to focus entirely on the incredible landscapes and wildlife.
A special and heartfelt thank you goes to our driver and guide, Bruno. He was truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of the animals and the nature reserves was impressive. Thanks to his incredible expertise and sharp eyes, we were even lucky enough to get a close-up view of a cheetah—a truly unforgettable highlight of our trip.
Beyond his professional skills, Bruno was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to our needs throughout the journey. He made us feel comfortable and ensured that the pace of the trip was exactly right for us.
