4 day safari - Serengetti/Tarangire/Ngorongoro national parks
Excellent safari - highlight of our trip to Tanzania. The guide was fantastic, we saw all the big five and camping in the Serengetti and on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater was brilliant. The scenery in the national parks was unbelievable, as was watching sunrise on the morning safari in the Serengetti.

Good value
We went on a safari with Amani. He was a great driver, host and guide! We managed to do 3 safari parks in 3 days! Me and the 5 friends I was travelling with had a great time and would recommend this company!

Relaxed, hassle free booking.....awesome knowledgeable safari guide......great cook
Communication with Andrew in arranging the safari was rwally goid. We had lots of littl, irritating questions that he always took time to answer.
Our guide and cook were great especially with our two young kids.
We clocked up 4 of the big 5 in our first day (!) and always returned to camp to find a great meal waiting for us.

Knowledgable and safe
Our guide was very knowledgable and patient with all our questions. He put our safety first and was able to present the best of Africa to us by bringing us to places where we could watch the animals.
All accommodation recommended and booked by Jackpot Safaris was top notch.
We wold highly recommend this safari organizer to anyone wanting to get a real African experience.
5 day safari Lake Manyara Serengeti Ngorongoro Crater.
Booked safari from USA. paid 50% for deposit so I didn't have to carry as much cash to pay balance. The deposit was a knowledged as soon as it was received. I dealt with Andrew who responded immediately and was easy to work with. He also is just a great guy to deal with and talk to. They also took care of hotel arrangements and airport transport. The safari was exceptional with a great guide who was knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was great to be with. The food was very good and the soup each night was exceptional. I had no problems at all. There were 3 of us on safari and everything was cool.

Well organized and fun Kilimanjaro expedition
With a group of 5 friends we booked our Kilimanjaro expedition through Jackpot Safaris. Andrew was our contact person and he was friendly and well-organized every step of the way. Two days before departure we had a briefing together with Andrew and the 3 guides who would be leading our trek - this made us comfortable to know everything was taken care of and we had all equipment necessary.
The expedition went very well. Livingstone, the lead guide ensured that everything was well organized and regularly checked up on our health status. This ensured that all 5 of us made it to the summit on a cloudless morning with great views. Fighting the altitude sickness was though, however, we think taking the 6-day Machame route worked well with a day of acclimatization.
Coming down the mountain we had a great last lunch, thanked all the porters, cooks and guides and back at Jackpot Safaris Andrew was there to hand out our certificates. Thanks Andrew, Linvingstone and the whole crew!

Help yourself, choose others
We booked one thing and we received a totally different service, starting from the camping that was not the one agreed and of lower qualities where we could not sleep since tents and sleeping bag were in awful conditions, to the number of people in the tour (maximum should be 6 and we were 7) and we had to share the same seat on the jeep in two. Not really comfortable.
We discovered we paid much more than the rest of the group. When we pointed out all these things the only answer was we are sorry. Not enough. Absolutely to avoid.
Not serious, only a lot of chit-chat without facts.

Excellent safari
we just finished 5 days safari trip with jackpot safaris,we would like to share our excellent experience with striking as an excellent local family run safari company,our guide on safari was with a lot of knowledge on the wild animals,the history and a lot of other information he gave us.
Thomas is pleasant to be with(we had 5 days together in the jeep)and always with smile an kindness.price for the safari was fairly good based on the quality of services we received was good for the value of money!
jackpot safaris manager Mr malalika can advise and align the trip to the budget you have.we had a day in Tarangire 2 days in Serengeti national park with overnight in safari camp inside the park which is very recommended 1 day in Ngongoro and 1 day in lake Manyara.
during the five days we understood that Thomas is experienced guide in Kilimanjaro,so it was also possible to have a day climb to Kilimanjaro base camp in fair price or even have a full climb for several days with him.we really recommend jackpot safaris and the crews!
