Jackson was incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, and exceeded our expectations as a guide.
5/5

We were so impressed with our guides effort to put us at the best location for viewing of the many species of wildlife. His experience put us right in front of two migrations. He filled us with knowledge of his home country of Tanzania. There was excellent value for the cost, as the total price was well below what was advertised by other companies on the internet.

Jackson the greatest
5/5

We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a safari in the Serengeti with Jackson as our guide, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we began our journey, Jackson’s professionalism, knowledge, and passion for the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania shone through.

His ability to spot animals from seemingly impossible distances was remarkable, and he always made sure we were in the perfect position to enjoy breathtaking views and take unforgettable photos. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and even a rare sighting of a leopard thanks to his expertise and patience.

Beyond his guiding skills, Jackson was personable, kind, and full of fascinating stories about the Serengeti and its ecosystem. He ensured we were comfortable throughout the safari, providing snacks, cold drinks, and a wealth of information about the animals and their behaviors.

This wasn’t just a tour; it was an adventure of a lifetime, and Jackson played a huge role in making it so special. If you’re planning a safari in the Serengeti, we can’t recommend Jackson highly enough. He is truly a master of his craft and will make your trip unforgettable!

Absolutely blown away with this trip! Jackson made our time memorable and is a recommend 100%
5/5

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
5/5

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.

Did a 7 day 6 night safari with Jackson as the guide. The trip was a very positive one overall with Jackson being very accommodating to our needs. Happy to go with him again if I go for a safari in Tanzania in the future.

Most experienced guide and well organized trips.
5/5

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
5/5

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."

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.
