Read moreOn February 2019, me and my wife entrust the Tanzania Joy Tours for a hike to the peak of Kilimanjaro. Although it's only me that managed to reach the Roof of Africa, I will undoubtedly recommen Tanzania Joy Tours for the others, mostly for all these reasons:

1. Our team, lead by August as the Guide, was super attentive to us. You can say that they Guide is really know what he is doing, set a customized hike plan for us by considering our fitness level, and regularly monitor our well being
2. Special attention for health. Do not underestimate Kilimanjaro, or you might need to be transported by helicopter to the ground again. Our team already prepare the medical equipment, including blood pressure and oxygen level monitoring tools, as well as the necessary medicine, to keep track on our health situation. They give an objective assessment to us, and won't force us to go all the way to the top just for the sake of tipping.

3. All the other staff: asst guide, cook, porter, all are really attentive to us, and make sure that we can get the highest level of comfortability we can get.

If I go to Mt. Meru, I will def use their trip again. More Read less

The rapidity of management, the professionalism and the adaptability are unbelievable. Emmanuel makes you comfortable and knows how to make you happy. I did the trek to Kilimandjaro with them, and it took 2 minutes to book a 6 days trip there. Thanks to this company, and most importantly to my guide, my cook and my porters, I MADE IT TO THE TOP! Ringo my guide is the best in the field. Even though I was grumpy and I wanted to give up several times, he was patient and supportive towards me, he pushed me until Uhuru Peak, and without him, I couldn’t have made it! This experience was just magical, I will never forget it. The joy you have when you are at Uhuru Peak is amazing. It will be hard, but it’s worth it, and with this company, you will make it to the top because they know what they are doing ! Thank you Tanzania Joy Tours, I will definitely be back. Read less

Amazing Kilimanjaro climb with Tanzania Joy Tours.
Ringo was an awesome guide, always happy and fun. Helping to hold my bag when I was tired and give me some of his clothes for the final climb. Waiter and porters were also great, always helpful and very friendly! Food was very good and in big quantity!
I planned to do it in 6 days on the marungu route but finally did it in only 5. They provided it me an additional night in the hotel (since I was not planning to be already back) and day trip. Very good service! And very good value for money! Very reactive to your requests, they will make sure you are always happy and satisfied!
Have a nice Kilimanjaro climb full of Joy ! Read less

It was great to feel how professional they took care of me, how they prepare you, encourage you and enable you to reach the top. I was having some knee problems but they just adapted in a way I could make it. The rest of the crew, especially Ali, made it (almost) look like I was in a hotel. (the other) Patrick the guide was extremely helpful and supportive. I can more than recommend TJ Tours to anyone who wants to do this tour with a friendly and experienced crew! Read less

Our head guide August was very attentive (especially when it came to our health and safety on the mountain). Our assistant guide Siza was also very accommodating (carrying our packs if need be and assisting us on trickier parts of the climb). Both men were committed to getting us to the summit. Our chef was prepared delicious meals for us on the daily. We were fed rice dishes, pasta dishes, soups, and stews among other snacks (peanuts and popcorn). Our waiter (Victor) was very pleasant and quick with delivery of tea, water for wash and our meals.

The route was breathtaking and while some days were long and challenging I never once regretted the decision to do the trek. On summit night, I was affected by the altitude (my symptoms included nausea, extreme fatigue and the inability to keep my balance). Our lead guide (August) had to literally hold my arm and drag me up the mountain. I did not take AMS medication because up until summit night I had adjusted to the altitude well and was advised not to take the Diamox I had been prescribed. While I did not enjoy the AMS symptoms, I got to the summit and down again with no lasting ill effects.

The only minor issue we had was the communication regarding the tipping procedure. Ie, how much to tip each member of the crew. Be sure to ask for details and clarify anything you are unsure of before getting to the mountain.

Our safari was outstanding. Our guide John was very informative and pleasant. We did 2 days which was more than enough to see an extensive list of animals. Be prepared for many bumps. Also note that the time it takes to drive to and from (we were based in a hotel in Moshi) Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater is several hours.

Overall my aunt and I had a wonderful time. Read less

I couldn’t believe how they could prepare something so delicious 10,000 feet above the ground.

We were pleasantly surprised by staffing and quality of service. Emmanuel is quite flexible and responds quickly and accurately to emails. Our guide to the top was Albert Ringo, an incredible boy, devoted, honest, and with a shabby sense of humor. He is very experienced and climbing with him is guaranteed. I highly recommend Elli Nassari as your guide to the safari. He is an absolute professional and a good person. Organizes a close encounter with all kinds of animals. Zanzibar's hotels were great and we spent some unforgettable days. Thanks Tanzania Joy Tours Read less

I was a little worried because I didn't find them listed in the Bradt or Lonely Planet Guidebooks for Tanzania. We chose them because they were one of the few tour operators with a web presence that offered both the Kili trek and a ten day wildlife safari combined with cultural safaris. Their price range was in our budget and though it wasn't as costly as some other tour operators, to my mind they provided five star service and professionalism at every turn.

They vetted all of our guides, porters, and cooks who were all top-notch in their own right. I can't say enough about Nickson, our driver/guide, and Dubhe, our cook. While we were on safari, they took care of everything including prepping, cooking, and cleaning up from meals and pitching tents and striking camp. There was plenty of bottled water to drink and every place we stopped for the night had washrooms with running water and electricity.

I'd never been on a safari before and had visions of no running water or electricity for days. I couldn't have been more wrong. We're saving for our next safari now! Read less
