Absolutely blown away with this trip! Jackson made our time memorable and is a recommend 100%
Going on a safari was high on my wife’s bucket list, and while I love to travel, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. She found Jackson online, and he offered to hop on a video call to answer any questions we had. He was thorough in asking us the right questions to understand what we were hoping to get out of the trip, ensuring he could tailor the experience to our needs. As a photographer, I decided to book a private tour with Jackson, which ended up being more valuable than we initially realized. The flexibility it provided allowed me to take the time I needed to get the perfect shot and linger in spots that caught my interest.
One of the standout qualities of Jackson as a guide is his deep connection to the region—he grew up as a Maasai, which gave him an extraordinary knowledge of the parks, animal behaviors, and the best spots to find wildlife. We focused on tracking big cats and the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River, and Jackson's expertise was invaluable. Having been a guide since 2008, he’s known by everyone—other guides, park rangers, and even the hotel staff. During our drives, he would frequently help less experienced guides over the radio, demonstrating his leadership and generosity in sharing knowledge. I was also amazed at how he could identify animals and birds nearly 100% of the time when I asked.
As for accommodations, my wife and I were very pleased with the mid-level package we chose, which included a mix of permanent and portable tented camps, as well as a few nice hotels. The food was fantastic, especially the lunches Jackson prepared for us. Unlike the usual box lunches, we had hot meals served with tablecloths and real silverware—an unexpected and wonderful touch! I really appreciated the fact that Jackson worked with our budget and accommodated accordingly.
Jackson and his staff were on time when picking us up from the airport. Towards the end of our trip, our flight was delayed a number of hours and Jackson made sure we got the most for our money in that he was able to stay out a little longer instead of us waiting all day at the airport.
All in all, this trip far exceeded my expectations. I captured amazing photos, made unforgettable memories, and had an incredible time. My wife and I are already planning our next safari!

A passionate guide in Serengeti and a expert in animals
Our trip with Jackson was from 2024.9.4 to2024.9.11 which is amazing.
Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Arusha.
Firstly, in the season Jackson can take you to see it all. We have seen all the big-five and many other great animals. We saw two rhinos in Lake Manyara; a cheetah with her two babies; 4 leopards; dozens of lions; plenty groups of buffaloes; lots of birds, antelopes, baboons, porcupines, hyenas est. And we saw 4 times of wildebeests river crossing in one day after a whole day waiting.
Secondly, Jackson can give you extra information about animals, cultures, life, family, society. He knows a lot and good at understanding in English. I have asked lots of questions with response one by one. And during the driving time, the lunch time, the dinner time, we chat a lot of different topics and have a wonderful time.
Thirdly, Jachson is eager to introduce Tanzania to people coming from the world. So the enthusiasm is unbelievable. He is hardworking too, get up early, get everything ready in advance. And he knows everyone in the safari.
Chose him as your guide, you' ll get a lot.

Very professional and experienced
Great safari experience, Jackson made us feel very safe and live an unforgettable 4-days safari experience
Most experienced guide and well organized trips.
I had the pleasure of going on a safari trip with Jackson in September 2024, exploring the North and Central Serengeti as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Jackson's expertise and professionalism made the experience truly unforgettable.
From the moment we landed, his skill was evident — we witnessed a breathtaking river crossing almost immediately. Throughout the trip, Jackson consistently impressed us with his ability to spot wildlife, even those nearly impossible to see with binoculars, using just his keen eyesight.
His trip planning skills were exceptional. Despite working with a tight budget, he managed to organize a high-quality experience, arranging excellent safari vehicles and accommodations that exceeded our expectations. On top of that, Jackson went above and beyond by helping me plan a hike on Kilimanjaro, ensuring every detail was taken care of. He also responded messages fast on Whatsapp.
I highly recommend Jackson for anyone considering a safari or adventure in the region. His knowledge, dedication, and ability to create memorable experiences are unparalleled.

Unforgettable Safari with Tanzania Juvenile Safaris
We recently returned from a fantastic 7-day safari with Tanzania Juvenile Safaris, led by an exceptional guide, Jackson. Our family of five was blown away by the experience and give it a 5-star rating without hesitation.
Jackson's expertise and passion for wildlife were instrumental in making our trip unforgettable. His ability to spot animals and share fascinating facts about their behaviors added depth to our encounters. Moreover, his connections with other guides allowed us to witness unique moments, such as a wildebeest river crossing and an up-close encounter with a black rhino.
Beyond his knowledge, Jackson's personalized approach ensured that our safari aligned with our individual interests.
His reliable and well-maintained Land Cruiser provided a safe and comfortable journey, even in challenging conditions. Jackson's skill as a driver and his positive, engaging personality made the experience even more enjoyable.
In summary, Tanzania Juvenile Safaris and Jackson's guidance exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Jackson and his company to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable safari adventure."

professionalism, patience and friendliness
I started planning my Safari many months before departure. Jackson guided me in choosing my itinerary, fulfilling my desire to visit the Northern Serengeti as well. The six days we spent together were magnificent: Jackson is a very knowledgeable, patient and enthusiastic guide. I am happy to have met him and I highly recommend a Safari with him.

Overall a great guide! ; Jackson the Great
Being away for a Safari with my family and having Jackson as our Guide, was an amazing experience! Always could count on him a 1000%. From the pick up at the airport till the last day we enjoyed his company and cheerful and joyous Spirit. He is a Master at spotting animals for we have seen them ALL.; from very close-by and in different circumstances, like hunting/playful/mating and feeding cubs. It was mezmerizing! Also his knowledge about wildlife is amazing. Ánd he introduced us into the world of Maasai and Tanzanian Culture, given his own background as a Masaai. I will definately recommend him if you want to have the time of your life at Safari !

The best tour operator you could wish for
We just returned from an 11-day trip with Juvenile safari’s with Jackson as our guide. It was an incredible experience. We saw so many animals (also from up close), because Jackson has a very good eyesight and great amount of knowledge about the animals and the environment. Furthermore, his enthusiasm made us fall in love with Tanzania even more.
After a day of rest from a night flight, we started with a trip to the Materuni waterfalls and a coffee tour. It was a nice starter of the trip. We had the time to adjust to our new environment, had a nice time outdoors (it is not a hard walk (around 45 minutes to an hour oneway), but it can be slippery) and also had a glimpse of the Tanzanian culture due do the traditional way of making coffee. We also had a great lunch, with surprisingly delicious traditional food.
Then we started with the real safari. We went to Tarangire and the day after to Lake Manyara. It is amazing how many animals you can see in just 2 days! And it is unbelievable that we got so close to them (without really disturbing them), especially to the elephants. We also encountered 1 elephant that was a little bit aggressive, but Jackson stayed calm and knew exactly what to do. Even other guides radioed Jackson to ask him what to do, as they panicked. So all in all, we were safe and the elephant just walked away.
We had a short break from the safari and we went to Lake Natron. An incredibly beautiful drive and a mesmerizing stay in an eco lodge run by the Maasai. I think we saw the most beautiful sunset ever there.
After that we went to the Serengeti for 3 nights. We saw everything we wanted to see and way more, such as the great migration, many (hunting) lions and cubs, leopards, cheetahs, serval cats, (fighting) hippo’s, giraffes, vultures, buffalo’s, elephants, antilopes etc. Jackson can spot an animal from 3 km away with his eyes only. So we literally saw every animal we passed by, as he notified us.
After the Serengeti it was time for the Ngorongoro. Again we saw so many animals, even the endangered black rhino’s! I literally could not see the rhino’s for 5 minutes, as I only saw grass through the binoculars. Eventually I saw the grey spot in the field he had already spotted earlier, but I did mot recognize it as a rhino (as he was laying down). Jackson was patient and we waited for 45 minutes or so. And we were rewarded, because the rhino’s got up and we could see them clearly!! Also the drive through the Ngorongoro is mesmerizing.
We ended the trip with a relaxing day (consisting of getting up late, shopping and visiting the Maasai).
EVERY accommodation was great and all the staff was so kind. My personal favorite was the tented camp in the Serengeti (luxury view camp), but everywhere we stayed was amazing.
All in all, I can say that you are in more than good hands when you book your safari with Juvenile Safari’s. I am especially grateful to Jackson and his capabilities, but I am sure that the other guides are also very good. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
