It was so Great and we see all the big 5
5/5

It was a very nice experience, we went on safari for 4 days and slept in tents. It was really very nice. We saw the big 5 and were taken to beautiful places. The driver and everyone from the organization are very nice and ensure a very nice environment. The food was delicious and the sleeping arrangements were also very good. There was a network everywhere and the transport was very good!

Once in a life time!
5/5

We got to spend new years on the Serengeti which is a once in a lifetime experience for us! We saw almost every animal (minus leopard 😮) and enjoyed the camping tents where we could hear hyena at night. Food was also great with large portions. Great value for money.

Beautiful safari experience with an amazing company
5/5

I had a beautiful safari experience organised by Josh Dreamland Safari.

From day one they were very communicative and present and helpful. They organised an itinerary up to my liking and they were regularly checking up and making sure everything is okay.

Before the safari they had sent me a “stuff to bring” list which was super helpful especially since other people from other safari companies didn’t know what they needed to get.

Whenever I needed a driver or help in town I could easily reach out to Josh Dreamland.

I super recommend them to anyone looking to do Safari. I had an amazing experience overall. The guide and the chefs were amazing throughout.

Peter was perfect, kind and very knowledgeable about the animals.
5/5

This was a trip of a lifetime! Angel stayed in constant communication with us leading up to our trip. Our guide, Peter was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and great with our kids who were 8 & 11. The lodging was amazing!! I cannot stress how perfect they were. The rooms, tents, food and staff were all extraordinary. I would recommend Josh Dreamland Safari for anyone thinking about a safari!

Our safari was a wonderful experience. Anything was perfect: tour, service, comfortable lodges, food and staff. Our guide was awesome. The organization of the tour was extraordinary good. Our contact person was Angel and she was always available for us.
This was my first time in Tanzania and Josh Dreamland Safari made it unforgettable. We saw so many animals!

Absolutely amazing time with Josh Dreamland Safari
5/5

I have just returned from a 7-day safari with Josh Dreamland Safari (JDS) and I had an absolutely amazing time! I can honestly say that JDS is the best! JDS has all the necessary documents like a TALA license to carry out tourism activities in Tanzania, a TIN certificate, and BRELA registration, which they can send upon request.
From the first time I contacted Elizabeth and Angel regarding the safari until the end of my trip, the communication was excellent. Every day I had a message from Elizabeth to check if I was happy with the food, accommodation, etc. during my 7-day safari, which I thought was a nice touch.
Our safari guide (Godfrey) was great. He was our safari guide for a week, cultural and language educator, animal spotter, and most importantly, our new friend. We had a lot of fun and many laughs. Godfrey had more than 15 years of experience and knew where all the animals were. We saw all of the Big Five and much more--even some rare animals.
When talking to other guests in lodges that booked through big safari companies, we had definitely seen more animals.
I visited in February during the wildebeest and zebra migration, cub, and bird season (December to March). I saw so many cute baby elephants, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and giraffes. Many birds change to bright colors to attract partners during this time.
My trip was as follows:
Day 1 - Lake Manyara NP
Day 2 - Tarangire NP
Day 3-5 - Serengeti
Day 6 - Ngorongoro Crater
Day 7 - Hike to Materuni Waterfall and coffee plantation
Accommodation: We selected mid-range lodges, and all of them were different, but each was very special. If you are staying in lodges, a 40% deposit is payable and 20% if you are camping. We paid the deposit by credit card and the rest in cash when we arrived in Arusha.
Please be mindful that changes to the schedule do occasionally occur due to various reasons and feedback received from previous guests regarding the accommodation, food, etc.

Parks:
Lake Manyara National Park - small and cute but has many animals per square meter.
Lots and lots of animal sightings, too many to list. We pretty much lived in the 4x4 during game drives every day.
Tarangire NP - probably my least favorite due to very bumpy roads and fewer animal sightings per square meter, but it has pretty landscapes.
The Ngorongoro Crater was definitely a “don’t miss” park and was the only place I thought we would see a rhino. We also had a very close encounter with a few lions, large elephants, and later saw a herd of them quite close as well.
In the Serengeti, our sightings were unmatched, and in the evenings, we were serenaded every night with hyenas outside the tent. Escorts were mandatory here and for a good reason. One night I saw a large hippo munching on the grass on the walking path outside the tent.
The Materuni Waterfall hike and coffee plantation was a fun full day that I didn't want to end and say goodbye to my new friends from JDS.
I’ll end by saying one more thing I liked about Josh Dreamland Safari: the company is run by a woman (Angel) who is passionate about animals and giving back to the community. I had an absolutely amazing time in Tanzania with them and hope you do too.

A very nice experience
5/5

We have booked a 4 day safari with Josh Dreamland covering Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire. We had a wonderful time, our driver Lucas was a very professional tour guide, explained a lot about the parks, the animals, everything that we have encountered. We never had any doubts about our safety, tour organization was smooth, accomodation and food was provided exactly as agreed. I can absolutely recommend booking with them.
