Perfect organisation, very reliable
We've been on a budget tour in Kenya and Tansania. Josana has had a lot of patience with all my questions and changes before the booking.
When we arrived and a touring the whole tour we've been able to contact him via WhatsApp and got a quick answer.
His guide for our tour was very nice and made us feel comfortable for the whole trip.
The tour was great. We booked a budget tour and even the lodge have been basic it was a great experience. We're all vegans and he managed that very well.
We've had a lot of fantastic animal sightings and learned a lot about the country. So, even with a budget tour, we got a lot for the money.
We're absolutely happy with Josana and wouldn't hesitate to book again with that company.

Reliable
I was hesitated when booking this safari, but it came out as I expected, in general. The price is fair for budget tour, and we saw all the animals. The company took care of all the transportations. We had several drivers and vehicles during the 12 days tour, most of them were good except one, whom the company replaced for us with another driver upon our request. We had buffets in Kenya, and freshly cooked food by our private cooker in Tanzania, which was luxurious. Bring soap and towel and maybe bathroom tissue if you are camping in Tanzania. Don’t pay the safari with credit card. I was charged more than 10% extra in total. Cash or bank transfer is better.

Good
I joined in josana tours for six-days.Because the whole trip is unforgettable,so I worte the review on the plane back to China.Truthfully,I feel nervous before I arrived at Kenya.But my consideration is superfluous. People in Kenya are very friendly and kind. Joseph is responsible.He planed everything for me.Of course,the schedule is reasonable. My pick-up driver Kim was waiting for me for a long time after I met him.He don’t complain about anything. And the person I am most grateful for is my guide. He is really patient and funny.In Masai, he driven us to see a lot of animals,the lions,the zebras,the giraffes…We didn’t communicate much,but he seemed to know what I need. He often tells us the stories of these animals. The most noteworthy thing is that I was sent to the airport that day. Unfortunately, the wheel broke down halfway. But in the end, because of my tour guide，I still caught up with my flight in the last hour. You know, this is the first time I've boarded the plane so late. It may also be a life experience for me.In short,everyone is very good. I spent six wonderful days with my other companions in the car. But separation is the norm.I will always remember that moment！

The Kenya part is good, and the Tanzania part is changed.
The Kenya part is good, and the Tanzania part (parks visiting order and accommodation) is slightly changed. It is still a good memory for me. And drivers are all good.

Great Experience, Great Tour Operator
A lot of the budget operators are working with the same company and are putting together trips as a conglomeration of services by connecting already existing trip itineraries with drivers to drive people between the different places that the tours stop and start. Most tour itineraries are basically the same, just with different lodging at night. Because of this, a lot of the value proposition that these tours operators add is how well they are able to figure out the logistics for you and their ability to serve any requests you might.
We were working with Anthony from Josana Tours and he was excellent. He was always available via WhatsApp and was able to help with any specific needs we had. We had some questions throughout the trip and had to get more money out, and he seemed to know someone in every town who he messaged and was able to get the answers or the booking for us. He was very accommodating of our situation, and was able to deal easily with our flight coming in late (we got rushed out to the tour), as well as the additional time we wanted to spend in Nairobi. It was truly a personal experience with Anthony, which is not something you are usually able to say about budget tours.
In addition, the standard tour planning was excellent. All drivers and cabs were prepaid, Anthony would update us the day before who was picking us up and at what time, and everything went smoothly. Logistically, it was very impressive to me how all this worked and how it worked so well.
The safari itinerary was fairly standard but also impressive. We really liked the Kenya side, especially Amboseli, and would consider coming back during the summer months (although it was cool during May too - still lots of animals and impressively green). We got to see the big five and all our other fives as well. Personally, we didn't think the Serengeti was worth visiting as the grasslands were kind of boring after all the cooler parks in Kenya. The Ngorongoro crater was cool though and worth visiting and we really enjoyed camping.
Since this was a budget tour we were in glamping accommodations in Kenya plus a hotel or two and then actual camping accommodations in Tanzania. We didn't realize we were actually camping in Tanzania so we didn't bring everything we needed (soap), but as young travellers we enjoyed all of it. The glamping accommodations were actually really nice compared to what we're used to and were cooler during the night than a hotel room which was a solid plus. However, camping isn't everyone's cup of tea and if that's you case you can just ask Anthony for different accommodations for those nights and I'm sure he'd be happy to accommodate.
Overall, it was a great experience and booking with Josana Tours made it that.

Masai Mara safari
we went on a safari through a specialist from https://www.safaribookings.com, the specialist's name is Anthony, he helped us with transfer from the airport, choosing a hotel in Nairobi, as well as purchasing Nairobi-Mombasa-Nairobi tickets. and also with transfer from the railway station. due to the fact that Russian transfers to Kenya do not work, this is very serious support. the safari was very good, the driver Denise is very experienced. The team was cheerful!.. an agreement was signed regarding payment and we liked the price). thank you Anthony!

For Best 3 Days Masai Mara safari,choose Josana Tours.
We were a group of 20 students from Hospitality class in our school, we planned to visit Masai Mara game reserve and josana tours was our organizer. From beginning to end everything was awesome. Our communication with Antony was as easy as counting the numbers 1,2,3.... He was knowledgeable and knew exactly what we needed as a group of students. He gave us an unbeatable price for the tour. Our guide Edward was so good on field activities for searching for animals and he gave us a lot of information about the animals. We saw a lot of them, even angry 2 male giraffes fighting. The accommodation was camping, we were served with delicious food and the staff were friendly.
Generally, we learned and enjoyed a lot during our safari. We therefore recommend this company Johana Tours
