Very experienced and fun to be around

Together with two friends, I went on a 5-day safari starting on May 7th with Jackpot Safaris. We chose the mid-range option. The safari started immediately on the day we left Shirati, as we drove straight to Serengeti National Park. There, we already saw our first two animals of the Big Five and stayed overnight in a lodge in the middle of the park. The lodge was very luxurious and the staff were extremely friendly.
After a great breakfast, we spent the whole next day in the park and saw many different animals, including lions. After another night in the same lodge, we left early the next morning for Ngorongoro National Park. It was a beautiful drive where we even saw a migration of wildebeest. In Ngorongoro, we again saw many animals, including rhinos and lions.
After the park, we stayed in another very luxurious lodge. The next day, we went to Lake Manyara National Park, where we had what was probably the most beautiful and exciting safari drive. We drove through mud, climbed a very steep hill, and even drove through deep water that reached above the hood of the car.
After that, we travelled towards Tarangire National Park, with another overnight stay in a beautiful lodge along the way. On the last day, we entered Tarangire in search of the final animal of the Big Five. Unfortunately, we did not find the leopard, as they (like rhinos) are very difficult to spot and require a lot of luck. However, we saw many other animals up close, including ostriches, elephants, giraffes, baboons, and impalas.
Overall, the safari was perfectly organized, and our guide Andrew created a safe and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the trip. Jackpot Safaris is definitely recommended if you are looking for an unforgettable safari experience.
Kind regards,
Cas

Trustworthy and very well organised.
Very reliable organisation. Organised one of the best experience we ever had. Andrew was very easy to communicate with and he was able to organise an amazing 3 day Safari for us. We stayed in the most beautiful lodges in the middle of the serengeti and went to ngorogoro krater on the last day. We were picked up perfectly on time at our accommodations and were brought back on the last day. Everything was well arranged and made sure that we were comfortable. Thank you for the amazing experience!!!

One of the most amazing experiences of my life!
Wow!!
What an unbelievable experience. One of our travelling companions booked this Safari for us, and she could not have picked any better. Andrew did a brilliant job in making sure everything was organized, easy and safe before we even arrived and continued to look after us once the safari had finished, arranging all transport to and from airports, even to Kenya.
But that was just the beginning! Bakari, our driver/guide was incredibly knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We managed to see every one of the big 5 on our 4 day adventure, and witnessed some incredible action while we were at it.
John, our personal chef was amazing, we were certainly never hungry with so much food and an abundance of variety. He even catered for our two vegetarians beautifully, with dishes we could all enjoy.
All three camps were well beyond our expectations, and the staff at all of them too. (Was a big surprise to be able to purchase cold beer at all of them!!!)
An experience I'll never forget, some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. 10/10.
Please excuse the lack of pictures, they are not yet on the device I'm writing this from.

Tanzania’s Best Safari Company
Jackpot Safaris is an incredible and reliable company who I would recommend to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania. On our four day safari we were able to see all five of the big five all thanks to our amazing guide/driver Bacari. Bacari was a very fun and intelligent guide and was always keen for a good laugh. Our chef John was also incredible, cooking us some of the best camping food I have had in my time.
Overall it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend this company.

Our favourite tour operator in all of Africa!
We did the 4 day adventure camping safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro and had an absolutely amazing time. We saw all of the big five! The camping experience and equipment was great. We especially enjoyed sleeping in the Serengeti national park and listening to the elephants, lions, and hyenas at night! The food was delicious and we were served massive portions. Even the vegetarians were well catered for. The safari car was top notch, and our guides/cook, Bacari and John, were incredible! Andrew was a pleasure from beginning to end and helped us organise the rest of our onward travel as well. We highly recommend Jackpot Safaris, you won’t be disappointed! The whole team does whatever it takes to make your trip a huge success!
Top notch, informative friendly and organised
Had the most amazing 1 day Safari in TARANGIRE National Park, we saw everything and our guid Mike was the best, informative, polite, patient and friendly.
Been on 5 different safaris throughout africa, best yet, probably never be matched

Perfect
We had an amazing safari trip with our very experienced tour guide Bakari, who had a lot of knowledge about the wild life and was very kind and patience with us. Also our chef John provided us from good food everyday. We are very glad we were tipped by Dr. Chirangi from the Shirati hospital, who recommended Jackspot safari’s.

Kind, knowledgable and involved with his guests.
Our tour was excellently planned and prepared. Meals were provided for and ready everything we arrived at our destination and the food was delicious every time. Our tour guide, Joe, was incredibly nice and did everything to make us feel at home and suit our needs, he was kind and very knowledgable. There were 6 of us between the ages of 23 and 25 and we can all highly recommend this organisation!
