Amazing safari through the tarangire park
I had a perfect and well guided tour through tarangire national park. Everything had been well organized.
I enjoyed those safari and will never forget. I am looking forward to my next adventure wth MJ Safaris and with Jackson in 2014.

100% recommended!!!
I had an awesome experience in Tanzania thanks to Jackson and Trekking Hero/MJ Safaris. I was so happy since the first day I contacted Jackson by email until the last day they dropped us off in the airport in Moshi. Jackson and his team took care of us everyday. I hired his services for a 7 day-climb of Kilimanjaro via Machame route and a 4 day-budget safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks). We were a group of 8 people and once in Moshi we joined 5 more people so we were a big group to take care of. All of us reached Uhuru peak, the food was delicious during the climb and they were so attentive and helpful. We decided to climb Kili in 6 days instead of 7 days after the group, guides and porters agreed we were ready to do in 6 days. There was a lot communication and friendship between everybody. That gave us an extra free day in Moshi, to do some shopping, relax with a massage, sightseeing the town and checking a marathon. During the safari, we saw so many animals and I took so many pictures. The drivers had so much knowledge about the animals and their habitats. This was a budget safari that overpassed my expectations about food, customer service and lodging. They really took care of us specially the first night when it started raining before setting up the tents. The guides were so diligent and patient with all information and logistics of the safari trip. I am glad that I chose Jackson and his company to experience Tanzania and I would totally recommended to my friends and strangers.

wonderful trip to Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater
We had a four day trip to Tarangire, then the Serengeti and coming back to the Ngorogoro crater. This was a first such trip for the three of us (i.e. on safari) and we enjoyed it enormously. Highlights included seeing many lions, especially one in a tree and climbing down. We saw two black rhinos, crossing the road between two lines of jeeps. Magnificent animals. There were huge numbers of giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, gazelles, and many elephants, buffalo, ostrich, hippos etc etc. We "saw" a crocodile, but if i'm honest i would have to admit i was only really sure of it when i got the photos and enlarged them!! There was no mistake, the guides obviously saw it clearly!
Our guide Jimmy seemed to have eyes everywhere - only once we saw a lion before he did - and then he said "2 lions". He was an excellent guide, patient, thoughtful, and explaining many things as well as the major animals. He answered all our questions clearly.
There is a lot of driving, a lot of time in the landrover, but it was absolutely worth it. It was all well planned and organised, no problems we were aware of. During the trip one of us was not quite well (not at all serious) and there was appropriate concern and help at the pharmacy in the Serengeti.

Great Trip
After completing a very rewarding and enjoyable climb of Kilimanjaro with MJ they then organised a 4 day safari for me which was a lot easier than climbing Kilimanjaro but equally enjoyable. Everything about the safari was perfect. We saw all of the big 5. We had a good quality and comfortable vehicle. The tents were lovely. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and the food was gorgeous. For me everything was perfect and the price was very reasonable.

Jackson and his team are exceptional and their service has real attention to detail.
My wife and I had the most amazing wildlife safari adventure with MJ Safaris. We saw the big five, and so many other species and much more besides animals. Our trip was extremely well organised and Jackson went out of his way to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. We saw the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and a number of other parks, including Amboseli on the Kenyan side which were all spellbinding. Our driver Frank was not only highly knowledgeable about everything we saw, but possessed the most remarkable eyesight, picking out well camouflaged animals from distance where my wife and I could see nothing yet! We have come away with lasting memories of such a wonderful time. Huge thanks to MJ Safaris. We recommend them highly.

Great Safari and Kili climb with helpful and knowledgeable guides
We booked with MJ Safaris & Adventure the 4 days Safari and 5 days Marangu route to Kili. Both of trips were amazing experience and made up to our expectations. Jackson was very helpful from the beginning, also he gave us good price. He took care of us during our stay in Moshi.
What regards the Kili climb, we could rent all the equipments from Jackson. The huts were ok, but be prepared for very cold nights! The food made by our cook was really good and diversified. Our guide: Aron, and his assistant Alex, were very caring and knowledgeable. They supported us throughout the whole trek. Actually, we can write with no doubt that we made it to the Uhuru mainly thanks to them.
What regards safari we also had a superb experience – we were sleeping in the tents, which made the whole trip even more memorable as you could really hear the animals in the camp area. Our guide and driver – Marko, was extremely knowledgeable guy. In most of cases we were the first to see the animals or to know where they will go. Marko was talkative, open-minded and really had a lot to tell about the animals and the Tanzanian parks.
We would definitely recommend Jackson agency for your trip bookings - they will be for sure the most memorable experiences, as they were for us.

6 day Machame Route + 2 day safari
We booked the 6 day Machame Route and 2 day safari with MJSafaris and it was excellent! Jackson was fantastic - super helpful in answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. Their pricing was very competitive but we received the same high quality equipment, meals, and services from our guides and porters as others who paid much more than us. Both the Kili climb and the safari were unforgettable experiences... My guide for the two day safari - Innocent - was superb, extremely knowledgeable with 10+ years safari experience. We had one small issue with one of our sleeping bags on the mountain but Jackson handled and resolved the situation so well that we were more than happy that we booked with him. Highly recommend!

Awesome safari, flexible operator
Jackson was very open and patient with all our questions and flexible to change accomodations (before we starded our trip).
We met our driver-guide Victor with his car before we finaly booked the safari. During the trip, we enjoyed his knowlege about lokal plants, animals and traditions. Besides, he arranged the day to suit us, in case we wanted to stop somewhere to buy snacks or souvenirs or for pictures or toilet ;)
