Welcome to Arusha – The Gateway to Africa’s Greatest Safaris If you dream of an authentic Serengeti safari, there’s no better place to start than Arusha, Tanzania. Known as the “Safari Capital of the World,” this vibrant city is the heart of Tanzania’s northern safari...
As a second generation tourist coming to Tanzania from the United States, I had high expectations-especially since my parents spoke so fondly of their Safari decades ago, Jafrica Safari Company led by the exceptional Joshua Monah not only lived up to those stories but surpass them in every way. From the moment we landed in Arusha, Joshua a@welcomed us like family. His deep knowledge as both a Maasai elder and a trained wildlife biologist brought a rich layer of authenticity and insight into every part of our journey.
Our Safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti was nothing short of magical. Joshua’s ability to track wildlife was astonishing-we saw lions elephants, rhinoceros, and even cheetah all thanks to his instincts and respectful understanding of animal behavior. I was expecting to see a few animals on each excursion and was surprised at the end of each day to find that we had spotted on average 70 different species of mammal, fowl, and even reptile. He didn’t just point out animals. He shared the meaning behind their behaviors, the balance of the ecosystem and how conservation efforts are unfolding across Tanzania.
The Accommodations were equally impressive. Each camp and lodge reflected the beauty of the region blending luxury with a deep respect for the land. we dined under the stars, woke up to Birdsong and felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. The team insured that every need was met from dietary request to surprise Anniversary celebrations (set up by Joshua) and always with more than attention to detail. For me, this trip was more than just a return to the land my family once explored it was a powerful reconnection made even more meaningful by Joshua‘s leadership and vision. Jafrica isn’t safari company; it’s a bridge between cultures generations and the wild heart of Africa. If you’re looking for a Safari company that is both professionally executed and deeply personal. I cannot recommend Jafrica Safari company highly enough. My only hope is to go back again someday with my children so that they may share this incredible experience as well.

Thank you Maja for your kind words, I am happy to hear your experience was pleasurable, as it was a pleasure to guide you on safari.Thanks againJoshua There are few words to describe how magnificent Joshua is as a safari guide and human being. I’ve been on safari with JAfrica twice now (2021 and 2023). He is so knowledgeable about the wildlife, the terrain, the weather, the behaviors of the animals and so much more. We saw pretty much everything you want to see on safari and often times with no other jeeps around. Joshua has a way of sensing the spots to go and the times to go to them. Plus, he’s fun, funny and interesting! We never tired of conversation and I will see him again and recommend him again and again!
We had an amazing 4 day safari with Joshua and JOASH Africa Wilderness Insight. Joshua was amazing at finding the less traveled paths to see beautiful and rare animals and was very knowledgeable not only about the animals, birds, and fauna, but also the culture of Tanzania. We could ask him anything as he was very approachable and loved sharing his country with us. He arranged everything for us including lodging in gorgeous tent camps (highly recommend) and a domestic flight back to Arusha after our drive through the Serengeti. He was very patient, responsive, and flexible so we never felt rushed. He worked with our schedule, but always made recommendations for the day. We did 2 game drives a day. I would highly recommend this company and if you have a large group like we did, I would ask for Richard as your second guide. You won’t regret it!
There is no better company with which to book your safari in Tanzania than Jafrica Safari, also known as Joash Africa Wilderness Insight Ltd. My family has now been on two safaris (2021 in Serengeti and 2023 in Tarangire) with JAfrica's owner, Joshua Monah, and have had the best experience we could have imagined on both occasions. Joshua is a local Tanzanian who is extremely educated on and knowledgeable about African wildlife, Tanzanian wildlife parks and reserves and Tanzanian culture, and has a keen sense for spotting difficult to find animals. He is the utmost professional with top-notch skills and connections for creating custom itineraries and has the patience and kindness of a saint. He will quickly become your most trusted guide and dear friend. I could not recommend Jafrica more highly. Truly the best of the best.
I am just back from a mother-son group 5-day safari with Joshua as our guide. I would give Joshua a million-star review if possible. He possesses every attribute that one would want in someone leading an adventure of a lifetime…calm, kind-hearted, joyful, knowledgeable, respectful, punctual, safe and fun. I will undoubtedly return to Tanzania & continue the adventure with my new friend Joshua!
Loved our trip. Will repeat in a heartbeat.. Excellent service, professional, informative exciting and fun..attention to sell details appreciated. Thanks Josh!
