Jartaneas a personal, professional, knowledgeable guide, plus a great storyteller.
My friend and I did a 19 day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with a group of 10 and we were lucky to have Jartan as our group leader. We had an amazing experience seeing masses of wild animals in their native environment. Jartan's knowledge of the counties and wild animals added so much to our adventure. He took time with each of us to make sure our expectations were met. Our safari food and accommodations were beyond what we expected. Add Jartan's natural sense of humor and energy to this and you have a total package for a trip of a lifetime

Jartan is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his country; both the tribes and animals.
Jartan was interested in learning about our culture and easily shared his own life experiences. He wasn’t just a tour guide he became a friend to each of us. He always checked on our comfort level and worked to correct even the smallest thing. He never left anything to chance.
He also, seemed to know exactly where the animals might be as we rarely went for long without seeing multiple animals and a variety of landscapes and animals. He was able to impart knowledge about the country and its people as well. I especially enjoyed meeting the variety of tribes and learning and interacting with them. He understood that joy was found not just in the sighting of an animal, but in the gentle smile of a native lady and that hugs and smiles are a universal way to communicate.
Jartan’s tour was a remarkable blend of people, animals, and the tranquility of an amazing land.
I highly recommend him as a tour guide and friend, as you will leave Africa feeling that you received more than your moneys worth and an adventure of a lifetime!

Jartan Lazier enhanced my experience by his knowledge, caring, fun loving and kind attitude
September 2024 I ventured on a 19 day safari of Tanzania and Kenya with nine other travelers. This was a perfect amount of time and the weather was excellent.
Our knowledgeable safari leader was Jartan Laizer. Jartan was an excellent guide, spotted all of the animals for us, took care of each travelers needs, was friendly, funny and caring. We all became fast friends with Jartan and with each other.
Tanzania and Kenya are natures back yard. We observed all of the Big 5–African elephant, cape buffalo, lion, rhinoceros and the elusive leopard. Much to our awe we observed the cheetah in its natural habitat. Plus, we saw never ending numbers of zebras and 3 different species of giraffes.
The native people were friendly and welcoming. We visited several towns and Maasai villages. The Maasai demonstrated their jumping ability, for which they are famous. They did not fail to fascinate us.
The scenery was pretty—many native trees and scrubs, of which Jartan told us the specifics about them. In the Serengeti the sunsets were spectacular, plus the stars.
This was a truly fascinating experience and one of my favorite tours ever! I would totally recommend a safari to Kenya and Tanzania with Jartan Lazier.

Jartan was professional and amazingly knowledgeable while still being fun and a joy to be with.
My dream trip of 19 days in Africa was an amazing adventure in more ways than I imagined. The cities, the Masai, the villages, the lodges and wonderful food all exceeded my expectations. And there are almost no words for how our tour operator and drivers worked to bring us to magnificent wildlife viewing every day. I would recommend to anyone considering a trip to Africa to definitely do it!

Jartan was an excellent and very knowledgeable tour leader with great sense of humor.
Tanzania was a delightful country full of surprises. We experienced the great migration as the wildebeest and zebra were moving south. Was common to see 100s of the animals each day. Lions were plentiful and fat since so many prey were available. We also saw many lions on “honeymoons”’as mating season was in full swing. Highlight was seeing 12 cheetah and witness two cubs playing keep away with rodent. Our visits to local villages to understand their life and culture was amazing. Jartan was an exceptional guide and made the trip very special.

Forever memories via the lens of a native son’s love, knowledge and expertise
Everything on this adventure exceeded expectations due to Jartan Laizer’s skills, knowledge and leadership. His personal communications pre trip paved the way for us to be ready, equipped and his daily communications, both written and verbal kept us on track and able to enjoy each and everyday to the fullest. He and his staff were excellent- so skilled and knowledgeable regarding the environment, history, politics, the cultures/ tribes and the nature and most prominently the animals.
Jartan kept us on plan while never missing an opportunity for photos or taking advantage of an unexpected opportunity. At the same time he managed to address everyone’s needs from achieving perfect photo angles for the highly skilled amongst us to assisting some of the rest who benefitted from his keen eye and camera tips- if the action of the moment was on the other side of the vehicle he’d even take the shots for you.
For me the trip was priceless for what I saw, learned and was able to participate in: the Masai tribe whose village we visited, the amazing Hadzabe tribe of whom only 1200 remain and who speak the most unusual language I’d ever encountered. The craft coffee grower and producer where we participated in the processing of the beans, shooting an arrow from a Hadzabe bow, grinding corn kernels into grain using rocks….
I loved it all , especially the game drives- Jartan is the best spotter I’ve encountered and his team was excellent- I’m certain that National Geographic would have paid a fortune to see some of what we saw- herds of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, hippos, a rhino with her baby elephants, giraffes, leopards- the list is endless but the lions were incredible. We saw so many throughout the trip, but as we drove with dawn breaking to the Serengeti airfield to begin our journey home, we came upon a huge pride of lions—2 dozen plus and witnessed their week old cubs nursing, toddlers and adolescents playing, two huge maned males 6 lactating females- we were breathless with wonder. We even witnessed a huge drama when 2 young marauding males stalked the herd to try to get at the cubs. The females repulsed them just before their males returned and who then pursued the two troublemakers- it was so real that it felt unreal. Only two days before that we actually saw a pair of lions breeding.
The whole experience was truly incredible and a real value - I feel that we got double the experience for a fraction of the cost of the big name companies we all know. Jartan made it fabulous, seamless, wild yet safe and created memories of a lifetime for all of us. I also enjoyed all the accommodations and food, too. Thank you Team Jartan Laizer!!! Highly recommend!
Jartan was an experienced professional tour leader with great organizational and social skills
The Kenya and Tanzania safari tour exceeded all my expectations. Our leader was very organized and professional. He made the smoothness of our multiple activities every day seem effortless. He took the diverse group of travelers that was our group and made sure that everyone's experience was great. He was clear in his expectations of us and what our schedule would be every day. Most of us had not been on a Safari before so it was good to have the information we needed to be safe and to have a wonderful time every day. He and the drivers were amazing at finding and showing us the many animals that abounded in the parks we visited. We also got to visit various unique villages and meet and interact with the people who lived there. We danced and sang with them, got to try grinding grain, milking goats, shooting a bow and arrow among other experiences. At one village we watched members make a fire using only a stick, straw, and dung. At another we watched the blacksmiths create arrows and bracelets out of recycled copper, brass, and steel. We visited a school and interacted with the students and head teacher there. We watched artisans blow glass, make ceramic beads, weave, carve wood, and make baskets. We joined a family for lunch and had a wonderful time interacting with them and sharing information about life in each of our countries. The experiences were varied and fascinating. The hotels and camps we stayed in were clean and comfortable, the staff courteous and helpful, the food varied and delicious. It was "the trip of a lifetime" and I highly recommend our tour guide and this tour.
