Good and helpfull safari
Tanzania Joyous Time Expeditions is an excellent company to plan your trip to Tanzania.
We had an incredible 9 day safari as a family, starting from Arusha National Park then exploring Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and finishing with a relaxing stay on Zanzibar Island.
From the beginning Charles was amazing he responded quickly, provided us with several great options, and even arranged our domestic flights when we were struggling to find any.
Our safari guide Erick was professional and attentive, making sure every member of our family was happy and had the best experience. We saw so many animals and created memories we’ll cherish forever.
This trip was truly a dream come true. We highly recommend Tanzania Joyous Time Expeditions to anyone planning a visit to Tanzania!

Tanzanian people that know how to do a beautiful safari
We had an incredible 4-day safari with Ndutu Green Explorers. From the start, the team took great care of us. Tom, our main contact, was helpful, attentive, and well-organised. Our guide, Culvet, spoke perfect Italian and English and made the experience unforgettable.
Culvet, a wildlife enthusiast, went above and beyond to fulfil our wishes. We followed the Great Migration and found the cheetah, along with the Big Five and many other animals.
We explored Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti in a comfortable jeep. The accommodations were excellent, especially the brand-new Friends Camp & Lodge in the Serengeti.
The team, all passionate and professional Tanzanians, organised our domestic flights to and from Zanzibar, including private airport transfers, making the experience smooth and stress-free.
We learned a lot about the wildlife and ecosystems thanks to the Ndutu Green Explorers team. If you’re looking for a genuine, personalised, and awe-inspiring safari experience, look no further. Highly recommended!

Nature is perfect, the guide ruined it
Avoid at all costs guide Francis! Not a single honest word comes out of his mouth, and his service attitude depends entirely on tips! On the first day at Masai Mara when we were still excited, we gave $10 for a half-day tour (total $60 for 6 people). Starting from the second day, he forced us to pay $10 per person daily, even threatening that he'd "doze off while driving" if tipped less. Even on non-safari days—like the 5-hour pure transfer from Masai Mara to Nakuru—he demanded $10 per person! During transfers between safari destinations, he deliberately parks tourists at souvenir shops. Though not forcing purchases, you'll just sit and wait if you don't shop. If unfortunately assigned Francis as your guide, remember: always pay tips all together at the very end.

It is a company where you can spend less and have a great time.
I’ve travelled on many safaris across Kenya with different tour operators, but this time I chose Alia Adventures because they offered short tours to Nairobi National Park. Later, I decided to extend my adventure to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti,and I must say, the experience was truly amazing.
While I’ve always enjoyed the African wilderness, Alia Adventures offered something unique that left me with even more unforgettable memories. We were assigned a personalized guide in addition to the driver, and everything was well-organized and strictly followed, especially the day-by-day activities. Sometimes, like during lion tracking, we didn’t spot them at the expected time but later in the game drives, we found them, which was very exciting.
I absolutely love the wilderness Ngorongoro, the Serengeti, and even the Nairobi National Park right in the capital city. I highly recommend these destinations, and most importantly, I recommend Alia Adventures for their personalized itineraries and flexibility. Having been on safari before, I had specific suggestions, and Ann the consultant accommodated them fully. Ruth Jepchumba, the Managing Director, is also a wonderful person — she personally welcomed us at the airport and made sure we felt safe and at home, with her regular check-ins every day.
Mosses, our guide, was fantastic. The accommodations were exactly as promised.
I’ll always recommend Alia Adventures to anyone planning a safari.

Maurice seems to get things done!
As independent travellers we had already booked our rental car and camp stays. We came to Maurice looking for help with guides. Communication through whats App was good and he was flexible and helpful with making arrangements for the guides to stay with us. We then lost our rental car, misunderstanding resulting in us having no transport with one week to go. Maurice stepped up and found us a car and the excellent Ben to work with us as our travelling guide. He also organised a car and guide for Nairobi who was helpful and knowledgeable. We sent quite a lot of money to Spot Kenya and were a little nervous when we arrived but with no grounds. Maurice, a car and a guide were waiting for us at our airport hotel and everything went smoothly. I think most importantly he knows the business and knows a lot of people so for independent travellers he can be a big help when you are getting organised.

Magnificent game viewing, excellent food and ideal tent accommodations
Doug and I had a WONDERFUL time on the 10 day mid-range safari with Shadrek. We loved the game drives and the camps were pure luxury. Your camp crew is so experienced and accommodating and friendly and professional .I call them 'a well oiled machine' .
Pula, the chef was truly remarkable. His food was better than most restaurant food.
I recommend this safari to everyone!

A luxury safari filled with heart, surprises, and unforgettable moments
From start to finish, this safari with Kojuu Safaris Africa was beyond anything we imagined, a truly VIP journey filled with unforgettable moments and incredible care.
First, a heartfelt thank you to Judith, a truly remarkable woman. Her kindness, attention to detail, and warm personality made us feel so special every single day. She went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless, joyful, and full of surprises. Her presence made all the difference, and we’ll never forget her.
And then Justin, our fantastic guide, so knowledgeable, calm, and passionate. Thanks to his expertise and by the grace of God, we had the incredible chance to see the Big Five. Every drive with him was a lesson in nature and a moment of pure awe.
Kojuu also surprised us with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a gesture I will cherish forever. And our first night at Lemala, they organized a surprise celebration for our wedding anniversary, a moment so touching it brought tears of joy to my eyes.
Kojuu Safaris is more than just a tour operator, it’s a team that puts heart and soul into creating once-in-a-lifetime memories. We recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a truly luxurious and emotional safari experience.

Nice
The overall trip was very surprising, but the signal was too bad. It was a pity that I didn't see lions and leopards hunting. There was less delicious food, no hot water in the bath, and it was too cold at night. Everything else is great.

Fun, professional and knowledgeable on things safari, Tanzania and Arusha.
Our time with Kantona was superb. He was organised, on time, professional and very friendly and funny. I highly recommend his services. We saw some great sights and animals. I'll definitely contact him again when I'm back in TZ.
