I want to remark the patient, professional care and amiability since the first moment we contact with him, until the end of our trip.
The guide, the driver and the Cook were professional trained and always providing us comfort and memorable moments.
The facility that Clinton had to organize a safari from one day to another was remarkable.
We want to thanks for everything, and every moment that will last in our memories forever.
Thanks Joaquin (first safari driver, an amazing person, the best driver in all tanzania!), Happyson (our Spanish guide, a remarkable and professional person),and Rama (our amazing cook, always preparing delicious food) for every moment we shared together. Read less

Our 7 day trip was incredible and we scheduled the trip so that we could summit during a full moon night. I would highly recommend the Machame Route and Tanzania Joy Tours as a company. Our dream (my friends and I) of climbing Kili came true due to the support from our guides. The porters and our photographer/videographer were amazing and friendly as well. Additionally, Emmanuel (the company owner) kept in touch with us and responded to our emails in a very timely manner. Asante Sana! 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

Read moreI climbed Kilimanjaro with TJ this September. On the day of arrival, the car that picked me up at the airport was late. I spent the night at a nice hotel. The climb started on the next day. The crew were very friendly, nice and helpful. The tents and equipments they used were old though still functional. Francis the guide was extremely experienced and knowledgeable about his work. I was literally exhausted when I was in my final approach to the Stella Point. It was Francis' encouragement that made me go to the top. I am glad that I had an enjoyable time. Read less

Only big problem is that the driver of Tanzania Joy Tour that had to drive me to the airport to get my plane back was so late that I would have missed my plane. Guy was clearly not managed as Emmanuel did not now his driver was late and I had to call him. Another driver helped me to be on time. I arrived just begore gate closing after a fast ride at night time. Emmanuel told me he would reimburse me this other driver which I paid. He did not do it... Pity because hike was cool. But be on time to get a plane does matter... Read less

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

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

Read moreTanzania Joy Tours was an excellent company to book our trek with. We had a group of four college students and joined a fifth Tanzanian man who turned out to be an incredible person and a good friend. Emmanuel was available basically 24/7 when it came to planning and communication before the hike as well as once we were in Tanzania. We chose the Machame Route 7 day trek but ended up finishing in 6 days. Emmanuel and our guide were very flexible with this.

In terms of the hike specifically, Ringo Star was our guide. I very highly recommend him as a guide. Ringo has a great sense of humor and him and his team worked very well together. Ringo (our main guide) and Deo (our assistant guide) were very knowledgeable about the mountain, the different routes, the vegetation, etc. Also, Josef, our cook, was incredible. We had more than enough food during the entire hike and all the food was very good. Ringo, Deo, and Josef all accompanied our group of 5 as we summitted and ensured that we all made it to the top of the tallest free standing mountain in the world.

I could go on and on about how great of an experience Tanzania Joy Tours was and how great our guide Ringo made our trip, but I suggest you simply contact Emmanuel if you’re considering planning your Kilimanjaro trek. As a college student, I spent a lot of time trying to find the best deal for its value while making sure the tour company I chose was trustworthy for this hike. I’m very happy that I chose Tanzania Joy Tours and got Ringo as a guide — I suggest that you do the same. Read less
