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!

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!
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.

We wold highly recommend this safari organizer to anyone wanting to get a real African experience.

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.
Jackpot is an excellent safari company
My boyfriend and choose 5 days camping safari itinerary for our safari
as we, on short-notice, joined a friend's already planned trip,
I really thank my friend for making the choices she did, and Jackpot
safaris for making our trip an awesome first safari experience. Once we
decided to make the trip, Andrew was responsive in answering our
questions via email. Our guide Mungure was great, very knowledgeable,
polite, professional, and was wonderful with our friend's two childens
He seemed as excited as we were at every animal sighting which made the
safari fun for us –
it was like we were out with a friend everyday! He could spot a leopard in
a tree hundreds of feet away! We saw things we never dreamed of seeing
like many wildebeest crossings in one day and a group of 3 lionesses get
up from a nap, hunt down and kill gazelles right in front of us then
watch as over 20 lions in their pride come join them to eat. Needless to
say, word got out and mungure was the man in the Serengeti after that! At
our camp that evening, we had a conversation with a fellow traveler who
had experienced numerous safaris all throughout Africa, and he said he had
never seen that! Our itinerary was perfect- a great mix of safari and
cultural with a visit to the beach in Zanzibar
we thank you Jackpot safaris and the team for such an amazing experience

Great experience on safari and Mt. Kilimanjaro climb
We don't have enough good words to say about Jackpot Safaris.
My wife and I did a 5 day Safari accommodation in luxury tents and then a successful 6 days Kilimanjaro climb.
We knew Jackpot safaris from our friends, that it was local agent, which we really wanted to deal with such kind of agency to handle our trip same way we support the local economy, indeed we did it!
Honestly and accurately left us in no doubt that we had made the right choice.
Our safari driver, Jonson was charming, humble, polite and a delight to be with in a Land Cruiser for 5 days.
Our Kilimanjaro guide “Living” treated us very well; the whole team of porters was also amazing! We made it up and down the mountain.
Sanga our cook! Provided us with the most excellent tasty food, he made us fell in love with local foods.
Nice Kilimanjaro songs from the crews during dinner, with the sounds of birds singing on the background it really was amazing and a life time experience that will forever live in my mind.
We would not hesitate to recommend Jackpot safaris. Treatment and quality of porters on the team was also very good, with Jackpot safari team, it never seemed to be in doubt to reach the highest peak of Africa “The majestic Kilimanjaro.” We will definitely recommend Jackpot safari to our friends.
Thank you Jackpot Safaris for a trip of a life time.
