Amazing welcome to Tanzania
5/5

From the very beginning of ccommunication with Josh Dreamland Safari there was fast, clear and friendly communication with Angel. All transfers from the airport/hotel were easy and on time.

The guide who led our safari "King David" had excellent english, a great sense of humour and was exceptionally knowledgable about the native flora, fauna and general local customs and culture. Our chef was fantastic, providing delicious food, taking care of cleaning and great conversation.

The accomodation that I selected was camping 2 nights and hotel 1 night. All of the accomodation was clean, compfortable and safe. I can reccomend that you bring toilet paper and ear plugs for sleeping- although you may not always need them, they are great to have with you.

In terms of the safari and animals, this was my first safari experience and I am so glad that I chose Josh Dreamland Safari. Our guide got us very close to the animals, so that we were able to get excellent pictures - even with my average smartphone camera. We saw an incredible variety of animals, more than I expected and it was a life changing experience.

We also had the opportunity to visit a Massai village and speak with the local people about their life and culture. They were very welcoming, friendly and their singing and dancing was a privillage to see. Like many parts of Tanzania they have markets for local art for sale.

The group of women who I met in my safari group were incredible, friendly and really enriched my solo travel. For my ladt day I was provided a private driver to Materuna waterfalls, lunch and coffee experience. The transport was safe, compfortable and my guide was very friendly and knowledgable. The food was excellent and it was a highlight of my tour.

I had my birthday whilst on safari and the beautiful Angel was so kind and generous organizing a gift for me - she went above and beyond in all areas.

I highly reccomend booking a safari with this company, with much love from Australia.

Highly professional team caring for everything in the nicest way
5/5

We did the 5days safari with mid range lodges and really loved it! Our guide Lewis was very friendly, full of information about the nature and wildlife and a safe driver! We saw such a lot of animals like a lot of lions, cheetahs, servals, elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests etc.
Everything on the safari with Josh Dreamland was very well organized by Eliabeth, who was all the time caring and communicate with us extremely friendly! Thank you, Elizabeth!
We had beautiful accommodations in wonderful surroundings! Very good meals, even the lunches in the wilderness were delicious! And they tried to avoid plastic and any trash in a impressing way (we even had porcelain plates 👍) ! We really highly recommend Josh Dreamland! And we will definitely book again another safari with them!

Fantastic and great communication
5/5

The safari we did was 3 nights, 4 days. The company picked us up from the airport and took us to where we were staying. We booked a house because there were 5 of us. That evening, Angel and Elisabeth came to the house to explain to us the itinerary and collect the rest of the payment. Then the next day the company picked us up around 0800 to start the drive to the first location.
We did this route:
Day 1- Tarangire National Park
Day 2- Serengeti National Park
Day 3- Serengeti National Park
Day 4- Ngorongoro Crater
This route was perfect for us because we saw everything we wanted to see. We saw the Big 5 (Lions, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant, African Buffalo) plus so many more.
Night one we stayed at a lodge type place. I think we were supposed to stay in tents but for some reason we stayed in actual rooms with beds. This location also had some entertainment during dinner.
Night two we stayed in tents at a campsite in the Serengeti park.
-bring a flashlight/headlamp and bathroom tissue.
Night three we stayed in tents at a campsite on the Ngorongoro Crater Rim
-showers/toilets were much better. Only a couple showers each bathroom though (some toilet paper)
We had a chef who made our food every day. There were other groups that had box lunches, and I’m very glad we had the chef. The food was really good every day. Dennis was really great as the chef and checked in with us every day.
Both of our guides were amazing. We had Godfrey on day one and he really knew the park. The last three days we had William. He was also great and really let us get involved with telling him where to stop and for how long.
**If I had to do it again, I would have picked the mid-range option. You stay in a little bit nicer of accommodations. The tents were cool, glad we did it but wouldn't do it again (we are 37 and 39 years old). It was worth it for the money saved though.
**remember to bring USD ($$$) to tip the drivers and chefs. I am not sure how much they make from the companies who hire them, so tipping is very important for their livelihood. It’s recommended to tip $15-$25 per day, per person on the Safari (so $15 per day for the driver and $15 per day for the chef per person)

After the Safari was finished the driver took us back to the city. We had a flight out that evening so we had the company bring us to the airport for an extra fee. Our flight was really late (1150 pm) so we had plenty of time. Would not recommend a flight out of JRO any earlier than 830pm. If you do, let the driver know ahead of time.

Great Safari with suberb wildlife viewing and a great guide
5/5

We had a great safari and saw a great array of wildlife. We saw many lions , leopads and cheetah ( including a live kill by a cheetah on an antelope.
Our guide was great, the accommodation very good and the company were much helpful when we had a few problems : our luggage missed our plane connection in Amsterdam and Josh Dreamland really helped with getting our baggage delivered to the next stop on our safari. Also on the last day the helped get a police report following the stealing of some optical equipement on our last evening. Despite our couple of problems we had a great safari and found Josh Dreamland an excellent company

A trip of a lifetime handled with care and expertise!
5/5

Visiting Tanzania has been a lifelong dream of our mom/grandma. So finally as she approaches 80 years old, through the loving care of Josh Dreamland we were able to make her dream come true. Right away Elizabeth, our Safari coordinator, helped us make a plan that would work for us and "Bibi", Swahili for grandma. All communications and plans were easy and came together smoothly. While on Safari, our guide Ombeni, helped set a pace that gave "Bibi" time to rest and still assured us plenty of time to see all the animals we could ever have dreamed of. We loved learning from Ombeni, about all the many animals we saw and the importance of preserving these habitats for future generations to enjoy. We especially loved learning from our guide about life in Tanzania. A big thank you to Ombeni for his expertise and special care. We did have a breakdown on our vehicle,as can happen on the rough roads of the Safari, but it by far was one of our favorite days. We loved seeing how all the guides came together to help eachother out and it gave us time to connect with people from all around the world including some local Maasai. To our delight while on our game drives we enjoyed warm lunches each day that were delicious and made fresh each morning. We enjoyed all of our accommodations, especially the Suricata Boma our first night. Ahsante Sana to Elizabeth, Ombeni and all the crew at Josh Dreamland for the amazing experience and really taking care of "Bibi". And a special thank you for arranging extra transportation for us after the safari making all the crazy things we wanted to do possible. Our driver Elly was so kind and accommodating to us over several days of post safari activities.

Dear Lucia and the whole Family,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review — it truly touched our entire team. We are deeply honored to have been part of such a meaningful journey, helping make "Bibi’s" lifelong dream come true as she approaches 80. What a beautiful way to celebrate life, family, and adventure!

It was a pleasure for Elizabeth to help craft the perfect itinerary and ensure every detail was tailored with care. We're so glad Ombeni was able to guide you at a comfortable pace, sharing not only wildlife knowledge but also the heart and spirit of Tanzania. He was truly inspired by “Bibi’s” strength and joy.

We're also grateful for your understanding during the unexpected vehicle issue — and even more so that you saw it as a positive memory! It’s a real reflection of your adventurous and kind spirit. The camaraderie among guides and the people you met along the way are part of what makes safari so special.

Thank you as well for your kind words about Elly and the extra transportation arrangements. We’re thrilled you got to enjoy every bit of your stay, both during and after the safari.

On behalf of all of us at Josh Dreamland Safari — Ahsante sana for choosing us and for trusting us to care for your family. We’ll always cherish this memory and would be honored to welcome you back anytime.

Warmest wishes,

Peter and his cheetahs
5/5

We did a five day safari with Josh dreamland Safari and it was amazing.
We saw a lot of animals like lions cheetahs and even a leopard.
Our guide Peter who was such a friendly and funny guy who had a great knowledge as well, did everything to show us as many animals as possible.
The food cooked by Pascal was also great, the breakfast,lunch and diner was always fresh and tasty. Compared to other safari organizations we had even warm and fresh food for lunch while other organizations just offered lunch boxes.
All in all we had a great safari and the booking was quite easy due to the 24/7 help by Elizabeth.
My family and I can definitely recommend Josh Dreamland Safari.

Well organized budget-group Safari with incredibly friendly tour guide
5/5

Me and a friend had a marvellous 5-day budget Safari with Josh Dramland Safari! Together with our tour guide Peter we joined a group of of 5 other German travellers. Peter made sure we all had a very good time together, showed us as many animals as possible and gave us interesting facts an insights about nature, the animals and Tanzania along the way. You could really feel that he enjoys the exchange with all the travellers from around the world, we had interesting discussions over breakfast, lunch and dinner. These meals were very tasty and freshly prepared by Pascal the chef. I really liked that we got a proper meal for lunch with rice, vegetables, meat and fruit where other Safari cars only had these little cardboard boxes from their lodges.
Although we booked only campsites, we got to stay 2 times at Ngedere lodge near Lake Manyara with fresh beds, pool and hot shower. That was a very pleasant unexpected luxury.
Two times our car had some problems with a front wheels but after driving us to camp safely, Peter took the car to the workshop and got it fixed so our trip was not affected at all.
Considering the price alone for just entering all the national Parcs (Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro, Serengeti, Tarangire) summs up to more than 300$ I think we got a very good value for our money.
All in all we are very happy for our experience and would definitely do it again!

Amazing safari experience with Josh Dreamland
5/5

We had a great experience doing our Tanzania safari with Josh Dreamland. We were a large group (9 adults and 5 kids) and we wanted a customized + fully private tour with luxury lodges. Elizabeth and Angel from Josh Dreamland were very patient with our questions, customized the itinerary per our request and ensured we have a good safari experience. An example of how they went out of the way is that Elizabeth accompanied me back to the airport at 2am on my request as I was returning alone with kids at night. Highly recommend them!!
