An exceptionally knowledgeable and flexible guide, Jackson expertly tailors immersive safari experie
5/5

Our recent safari in Tanzania, guided by the remarkable Jackson, was an experience we’ll cherish forever. Jackson’s expertise shone from day one, as he seamlessly tailored our itinerary to include Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. His profound knowledge of the local wildlife and landscapes, combined with his keen ability to adapt to our interests, made each day a new adventure. In Tarangire, his insights into the elephant herds added depth to our experience. The Serengeti’s vast plains came alive through his stories and facts, and in Ngorongoro, his guidance helped us appreciate the crater’s unique ecosystem. Jackson’s professional and accommodating approach, alongside his deep respect for Tanzania’s natural heritage, made our 7-day tour enlightening and enjoyable. We highly recommend Jackson and his company to anyone seeking an immersive and flexible safari experience in Tanzania.

5/5

My wife and I booked a four days trip in September 2023. Unbelievable experience. We recommend you especially the Tour-guide Jackson. He knows all the right spots, he knows when to be where to see the animals from a good spot. Even the booking and communication via what’s app was easy and trustworthy.

Best guide ever!
5/5

We were so lucky to have Jackson as a guide for our 6 day safari. He knows all the parks like the back of his hand, and has an uncanny ability for spotting animals and getting the jeep into the right position. He was such a great asset for our trip with his wealth of information about Tanzanian wildlife and culture, and his friendly and funny personality. We couldn’t imagine a better safari guide, and would definitely recommend him without hesitation. Asante sana Jackson!

Best choice you can make
5/5

We had the best safari & mount Meru experience thanks to Juvenile Safaris & John as our beloved guide.
We did the 6 day safari trip and would recommend it to anyone. Every day is astonishing with beautifull views and animals. The safari Jeep is very comfortable with cool water in the fridge and an open roof.
John knew a lot about the animals and knew his way. He always gave us the best views (thanks again, John. Amazing!!) and we could take our time. Thanks to John we have seen all the animals of the area - several times. John is a good spotter for sure.
Included meals were always very nice as well as our stays. We especially loved the tented camps in Serengeti; a magical place to sleep.

Before our safari trip, we did the 3 day mount Meru trek. This hike was challenging but more than worth the while.

Highly recommend.
We will come back to Tanzania one day - with juvenile safaris & John as our guide.

Thank you very very much for everything!
All the best,
Bram & Indy

A Seven Star Safari Experience!
5/5

We are just back from a thrilling safari experience with Jackson. Every aspect of our 4 nights road safari was so meticulously planned and taken care of. We had excellent sightings of the big 5, saw a live hunt and above all, had great company for the 5 days we were together.

We finalized Jackson based on 5 star reviews and competitive quotes from him. Our experience justified every 5 star review he’s received. He’s an anthropology graduate and pretty knowledgeable about wildlife and the parks. Thanks to his experience and network we were able to be at the right place at the right time to spot the big 5s and live hunt.

Stay experiences were excellent too with clean tented accommodation, hot showers and great food and drinks to go with. All the places had electricity and wifi.

There are many tour companies that I reviewed as part of planning this trip. Jackson’s involvement and personal touch makes a big difference. I would pretty much vouch for him with family and friends.

A Few Tips.
Carry local shillings. You will want to tip for the excellent services rendered.
Carry a good set of binoculars. There is lots to see.
Carry Insect repellents for flies. Though not a bother for most of the trip, there are some marshy areas where you could encounter a lot of these

During safari Jackson was able to answer every question we had. He loves what he does and he will make sure you will love ot too.

Spend the money to have a once and a lifetime experience with the best guide
5/5

My fiance and I travel quite a lot so I don't write this review lightly. We were blown away by the experience we had with juvenile tanzania safaris.

We almost spent 15k usd on a safari then stumbled on this company. We had a phone call with Jackson before booking and made it super seemless for us. We made the plunge and paid a 3rd of what we were going to and I don't think any other experience could top it.

Jackson was more excited when we saw the animals then we were. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to get the right pictures. We did a 4 day safari and when we went to Kenya after we really saw no point to go on another safari since we saw everything.

Please take my word for it spend a little more then the cheaper options and book with juvenile safaris you won't regret it

Safari Bliss, a highlight of our trip to Tanzania
5/5

I recently embarked on a remarkable 5-day safari trip, expertly organized by Jackson, who truly assured us of our choice. The highlight was undoubtedly the 2 days spent in Serengeti, a wildlife paradise. Our driver and guide, John, was exceptional, offering not just knowledge but genuine enthusiasm for the safari experience.

Throughout the journey, we were treated to an abundance of wildlife sightings, exceeding our expectations. From majestic lions to elusive cheetahs, from towering giraffes to elegant zebras, every moment felt like a scene from a nature documentary. The thrill of witnessing these creatures in their natural habitat was unparalleled.

Moreover, the lodges provided a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in the wilderness. With amenities like electricity, WiFi, and continuous water supply, we never felt disconnected from the world while still being enveloped by the untamed beauty of the African savannah.

Overall, this safari was an unforgettable adventure, thanks to the meticulous organization by Jackson, the expertise of our guide John, and the awe-inspiring abundance of wildlife. It's an experience I'll cherish for a lifetime.

LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE
5/5

Where do I even begin?! My fiance and I took a 4 day 3 night safari with Jackson in February in Tanzania (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Terengti). My experience with Tanzania Juvenile Safaris was nothing short of AMAZING. From start to finish this may have been the best experience of my life. Jackson (owner) was the most incredible guide, I highly recommend him! He trains his entire team though so whoever you get within his company you are lucky to have. Jackson has a smile and a laugh that instantly puts you in a good mood. He is so personable and easy to talk to (which is very important given that you may spend upwards of 10 hours in a car with him in a day). Jackson's head is constantly on a swivel ...his ears are always open listening to the radio for sightings... and he knows the terrain like the back of his hand! One of the highlights of our experience was being the first car (sometimes there are upwards of 30 cars in one location) for a leopard sighting. He spotted him in 3 foot tall grass... it was unbelievable. Jackson has a wonderful talent of predicting animal behaviour and always knew what their next move would be. For example, all the cars would be lined up in one spot and he would pull away and we were like wait where are you going? And within minutes the elephants (or other animals) would be walking within feet of our vehicle. We saw the big five (plus every other animal possible) by our 3rd day so the 4th day was just a bonus!! Do not hestitate to book with this company, you will have a life changing experience. PLEASE PLEASE reach out to Jackson privately via whatsapp +255 764 888 313
