I don't think so disgusting experience I had, I really don't expect them. Before my trip the communicate with Grey Joy was very well and told the plan for 7 days safari. But I really sorry to say before end my safari I leave them. As I booked my last 2 days in Ngorongoro Crater but I don't get because they excuses for the group end their 5 day safari, so they told me won't be taken away alone. But when I don't agree with them, then they misbehave with me what I don't expect. Very rude and irresponsible service. But I paid 100% for 7 days safari. After rude behavior, then some one offered me for refunds money in 2% for 2 days, how Funny 🤣, can you imagine what their plans to take money from travelars. I don't agree and leave them without reaming for 2 days.I would be like for any solo travelers, I 100% don't recommend anyway Grey Joy Safari Adventures. They didn't feel the need to apologize for doing me wrong.

My biggest dream on a Tanzania safari was to see the Great Migration, and Grey Joy Safari Tours fulfilled that dream. I felt very lucky to see thousands of wildebeest and zebras crossing the river in front of my eyes. I was fortunate to see numerous species of animals up close. Thanks to the excellent organization of Grey Joy Safari Tours and the careful service of the experienced guides, I was able to enjoy this moment so fully.This experience is not just a trip, for me it is a wonderful lesson in feeling the majesty of nature and the power of life. I was truly overwhelmed by the Great Migration and I will remember this experience for the rest of my life.

I came back with a deep knowledge and memories of the local culture, wildlife, and environment, which enriched my experience even more.The service from Greyjoy Safari Tours was absolutely personalized – I didn’t have a single moment of inconvenience or discomfort. Traveling with them felt like family. From the vehicles to the lodge, everything was extremely comfortable and well-managed.

Our Tanzania safari was truly one of the best experiences of our lives. We booked through Grey Joy Safari Adventures, and everything from start to finish was incredibly well planned and comfortable.Our destinations were Tarangire National Park and Serengeti National Park. We created countless memories during this 5-day safari. We were mesmerized by the numerous elephants and baobab trees in Tarangire National Park. The quiet beauty of nature here and the opportunity to see the animals up close was completely different. The most exciting part of our safari was Serengeti National Park. The vast wilderness, numerous wildlife and endless horizons all seemed like a living dream. And the breathtaking view during sunset will be remembered for a lifetime. Our guide, Mr. Gidion, who is very knowledgeable, patient and very knowledgeable about the animals and very skilled. His sincerity and cheerful attitude made our trip even more special. We heartily recommend Grey Joy Safari Adventures.
