MJ Safaris & Adventure provided the amazing, customized experience I was looking for. + I summited.
I went with MJ Safaris for my climb of the Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro and I couldn’t be happier my experience. Jackson and Noela’s communication was excellent, I was comfortable with all the details of my arrangement and all the logistics involved, the gear provided, the information regarding the route, etc.
My guide Dennis was absolutely amazing, keeping my spirits high, answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns, and providing great information about the flora and fauna on Kilimanjaro along the way, without being overbearing or providing TMI. He balanced everything quite well, which reflected his deep mountaineering background and tremendous experience on Kili, having summitted over 60 times in the past. He was polite, professional, down to earth, compassionate, and simply a joy to do this expedition with. I feel very fortunate to have been paired with Dennis.
Christian, my new Rafiki, was awesome around camp, from setting up my private dining tent and portable toilet (which, if you’re still deciding on, GO FOR IT, you do NOT want to be locating public Kili bathrooms in the middle of the night, in high wind, at altitude, on rocky unfamiliar terrain, only to come upon the nastiest toilets (not actually toilets but literally an enclosed, disgusting hole in the ground) you’ll ever encounter in your life. Get the private / tented bathroom!!), to serving all of my delicious meals and condiments, hot tea in my tent upon request, coffee ready and waiting in the morning, etc. The whole crew (including guide Dennis, Christian, and several additional porters) were awesome, I was 100% cared for, supported, and I truly felt like it was a team effort and they were all personally invested in me getting to the summit. You could tell it was a victory for them, me getting to the top, they took pride in it.
If you’re looking for a smaller operator that really cares and supports you in every way, go with MJ Safaris and work with Jackson. Oh, btw , the hotel they put you up at in Moshi, TZ., called the Mariadi, is an absolute gem. Small, well kept, beautifully landscaped, tranquil and clean pool area, delicious breakfast buffet, etc. This was a great hidden benefit I was not expecting as part of this package but looking back I'm very grateful for.
Dennis, Christian and team, thank you all once again. I’ll never forget my time on Kilimanjaro and how comfortable you guys made me feel while climbing a 19,000 + foot mountain.

Very professional and knowledgeable tour operator
We are so pleased we booked with MJ Safaris and Adventure. They picked us up from the airport 2 days before our hike so we stayed an extra night at the hotel that they chose. The Maridadi hotel has great food, great rooms and a lovely clean pool. They met us the next day for our briefing and to give us our duffle bags with included sleeping bags. All the support staff were amazing, Silvano, Nicholas, Kelvin and Benjamin plus the porters who have a tough job. The food they provided was really good, nice flavours and more than enough to give you energy, they couldn't do more for you. The mountain huts were basic but comfortable and we had a 4 person bunk room for the two of us and we want to thank them for looking after us so well. The hike was amazing, as per other tour operators, it included Little Meru on day 2 in the afternoon which is well worth doing. The summit day we set off at half past midnight and got to the summit to see the sunrise over Kilimanjaro, this was beyond expectations. the summit day is tough but well worth the effort for an amazing experience and stunning scenery not to mention the sense of achievement as this is not a small mountain! You should feel confident booking with MJ Safaris as they delivered in all aspects better than we imagined and were actually better value than most and at the end of the day everyone is on the same route and same accommodation.

Very responsive, approachable, good price, interesting programs and offers
I contacted MJ Safaris & Adventure for organizing a enough long tour of Africa. Initially, I was planning only safaris and jungle treks in Uganda and Tanzania for 2 weeks, but while discussing the trip details, my "appetite" grew, and i decided to add a climbing to Kilimanjaro summit and the final tour duration became 21 days. It was my first time visiting mainland Africa, so I spent a long time choosing a tour company for organising this adventure for me, trusted my intuition, and was absolutely right. From my inquiry, to the subsequent discussion of details, to the organization, the guides, and all the little details along the way, everything was top-notch; I was absolutely delighted. It's been two weeks since I returned from the trip, and I already miss the unique African vibe, the breathtaking landscapes, and the very friendly and helpful people. It was a wonderful adventure and I will definitely repeat it again. Thank you to the entire MJ Safaris & Adventure team for such unforgettable experiences and emotions.
Plus, I want to add that for me, as a very passionate photographer, this trip was a real gold mine - I brought back thousands of wonderful pictures, and I plan to organize my own photo exhibition.

Simply amazing
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience, and so much of that was thanks to our guide, Gift Dastan.
From the moment we met him, his knowledge, professionalism, and passion for wildlife were obvious. He worked tirelessly to make sure we saw as much as possible, and thanks to his expertise, we had unforgettable sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and so much more. He seemed to know exactly where to be and when, giving us opportunities to witness amazing animal behavior that we will never forget.
What truly set Gift apart was how kind, patient, and personable he was. He answered all of our questions, shared fascinating information about the animals, the area and his life before being a guide. He made every game drive both educational and exciting. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
This trip was a dream come true for us, and Gift played a huge role in making it such a special experience. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, you are in for an amazing adventure.
Thank you, Gift, for memories that will last a lifetime. Five stars isn’t enough!

Well organised and Professional Operator
What an amazing and well organised trip, Jackson and his team did à perfect job To ensure we had a great 2 week holiday. From the airport pick ups, with the unforgettable 7 Days Kilimnjaro trek, Machame Route and to end with a 5 days safari.
A word about the safari…..incredible and grateful to have experienced this, from Tarangire towards Serengeti and Ngorongoro! Amazing to see the wildlife live (🤩🤩), something we will never forget. Big thank you to Yona for being our guide and ensure we had the best view, and ensure we were on time in the really nice lodges every evening. Sleeping in a very comfortable accommodation, hearing the wild animals just next to you is just wow. A private bush dinner was a very appreciated surprise.
À trip we will keep in our memory, and one day we will be back!
Thanks Jackson and the rest of the team!

Highly recommended - super service in tanzania during our kilimnjaro climb and safaris
I had a wonderful experience thanks to the super service provided. The team was friendly, efficient, and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. From start to finish, I felt valued as a customer, and every question I had was answered promptly and professionally. It’s rare to find service that is both fast and personal, but this team delivered on both. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the positive attitude throughout the entire process. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliability, quality, and a team that genuinely cares.

Most Amazing experience
With my Brother and his family from the US, we had the most amazing 8-day Cultural Tanzania Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Eyasi with the Hadzabe Tribe. As a Tanzanian, I was amazed to have this experience and knowing that it is in my Country. We loved every moment and saw so many animals - the great migration, lion hunts, sleeping leopards, vultures eating, newborn zebra. It was SO exciting. We spent time in the tented camps, and it was magic. What made it extra special was our driver, "Yona," who had a great animal expertise, interesting stories, and was just nice to be around. We highly recommend that you ask for MJ Safaris & Adventure for your trip to Tanzania.
