My kaka(Ringo) and our 10 crews helped me and my boyfriend to make to the summit in Kilimanjaro in July. (Sorry to write a review so late! Too busy after our long journey and finally got back to our reality!) I & my boyfriend are a world traveler, and the experience with TJ tour was absolutely amazing lifetime experience. They're simply the best and extremely professional. He even made a cake for my bf's birthday on the high mountain and we were able to celebrate his special bday on Kili!!! I am not a serious climber like my bf, but I truly enjoyed every moment with our team. They take good care of you and will give you the lifetime memory. I am picky in terms of the quality- so I did lots of research before I chose the tour company. You won't be disappointed. Emmanuel is a great communicator and will answer you whenever you have questions. I highly recommend getting a private toilet for ladies. (that was the only thing I struggled with for 7 days :) We actually started our Tanzania experience with 2 days of luxury Safari which was my favorite- Emmanuel arranged the best luxury resort for us and our guide, Praygod was simply amazing & super knowledgeable. We learned so much about wild animals in Africa. Praygod stayed longer to... "Dada(sister), I know it's not easy, but never give up, we are almost there!".

Our guide Anton was a very professional and friendly guide, he could answer all of our questions and to elaborate even beyond. Except Anton, the whole crew was perfect and provided all we needed in these natural extreme conditions.
Also, Anton and the crew have shown great flexibility with our trip plan. We booked the trip for 7-Days and wanted to change to the 6-Days trip after 2 days of walking and
they accepted it and made it happen. Emanuel from Joy tours later helped us to book a great 1 Safari day trip instead!
Overall highly recommended! Very honest and fair people!!!
Thank you so much!

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

To be honest, i was a little nervous about this trip; i just turned 60, was a little worried about the possible effects of Altitude Sickness plus my overall fitness and I was a solist, climbing on my own. However, i needn't have been; i started planning this trip in January 2019, Emmanuel could not have been more open and helpful; reassuring me on all the points i was anxious about (payment policy for Porters), route planning so i could acclimatize correctly, food etc etc, Emmaunel was happy to discuss things with me on the phone too. He gave me the email addresses of two recent clients whom i contacted to get feedback. Emmanuel was thorough and timely in his responses, i quickly developed confidence that i had selected the right company to go with because their communication and responsiveness was first-class. I was also very reassured that TJT only needed a $300 dollar deposit from me at booking, overall it is not cheap to climb Kili and if your plans do change it was comforting to know that the lost deposit was not a large sum. From the moment i arrived everything was well organised. although i was on my own climbing Emmanuel still went ahead with my trip even though he had no other bookings for the same dates, i was very grateful for that he did this, he could have attempted to attach me to a larger group but didn't.

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

From the moment we arrived at the airport, everything was organized flawlessly.
- The Kilimanjaro team was great ; our guide Patrick helped us reach the top, and was very reassuring. The 15 porters were amazing, and the cook made us delicious and copious meals. The camps were perfectly set up.
- The safari was breathtaking ; our guide Elly is a real gem, he is extremely passionate about wildlife, and has a lot of training and experience. He took us to the best places of the national parks and taught us about animals ; he is also super nice!
About Covid : there is NO COVID in Tanzania! You should definitely go for a visit, it is very safe.

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
