Amazing person
5/5

Jackson is an amazing guide! He took my wife and me on an incredible safari trip in Tanzania and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Jackson is incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the environment, and he made sure to tailor the trip to our specific interests. He was also very patient and kind, always making sure that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We saw so many amazing animals, including lions, elephants, and giraffes, and Jackson was able to provide us with interesting facts and information about each one. We highly recommend Jackson as a guide for anyone looking to go on a safari trip in Tanzania - he truly made our experience unforgettable.

Knowledgeable and driven tour guide
5/5

Jackson, was an absolute pleasure. He was accommodating and driven. He keeps himself updated and ensured that we saw the big 5. He was passionate about giving our group a complete safari experience.
I remember a day when we were tired and would have been happy to retire early, but for Jackson’s insistence. We ended up seeing a leopard and her cub.
I would recommend Jackson to all who want a wholesome experience. I hope to send my kids on a safari but only if Jackson will be their guide.

Amazing, resourceful and very knowledgable!!!
5/5

Four of us went on a 5 day Safari tour with Jackson at Tanzania Juvenile safaris! It was one of the most amazing tours of our lives… ! Everything right from the warmest welcome at the airport and taking care of every small need of ours to the majestic Safari!!! Everyday Jackson took extra efforts to ensure we got a complete view of the game reserves we covered. The number of animals we sighted all thanks to him as well as the perfect picture spots has made this the most memorable jungle tours of all times! He is extremely patient with all kinds of questions, very knowledgable and very helpful! Very good with coordination and file a smooth booking process too! Wouldn’t do the Safari with anyone else!! Thank you Jackson👍

Superstar Jackson - the man with a golden touch
5/5

What a wonderful 3 days spent with Jackson (Tanzania Juvenile Safari). Very professional right from the start, there was a personal touch to everything - game viewing, camp stays, food preferences and pacing our 3 days. Jackson just seemed to manage everything we came to see - the lion pride, witnessing a kill, Wilde beasr, giraffe, antelope, buffalo,elephants and even crocodiles and hippos at the swamp.
Great value for our time and resource - highly recommended
Thanks Jackson and look forward to meeting you again soon

Unforgettable Safari Adventure – A Must-Try Experience
5/5

In just three words: it was perfect! I'm thrilled to share my incredible journey with Jackson and his amazing team. They've truly mastered the art of crafting a safari that's nothing short of magical. From the get-go, even before we set foot in Tanzania, Jackson was there, readily addressing all our questions through email and WhatsApp. His infectious excitement had us counting down the days to our Tanzania escapade!

As soon as we arrived, Jackson's team was right on cue at the airport, setting the tone for a seamlessly organized experience from start to finish.

Now, onto the safari itself – prepare to be blown away. Jackson seems to have this innate sense of timing, creating an environment where every moment feels just right. We never felt hurried, and his knowledge of the natural world is astonishing. His passion for what he does is truly inspiring and adds a whole new dimension to the experience.

And let's not forget the accommodations – each one was a gem, providing a cozy haven after those exhilarating game drives. But the pinnacle had to be the two nights spent in a Serengeti camp – a true pinch-me moment that transported us to another world.

For anyone even remotely considering a safari, I can't stress this enough: go with Jackson and his team. They turned my trip into an unforgettable adventure that was not just about wildlife, but also about learning, laughter, and forging incredible memories. This is an experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a taste of wonder, guided by a team that truly loves what they do.

Absolutely blown away with this trip! Jackson made our time memorable and is a recommend 100%
5/5

Going on a safari was high on my wife’s bucket list, and while I love to travel, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. She found Jackson online, and he offered to hop on a video call to answer any questions we had. He was thorough in asking us the right questions to understand what we were hoping to get out of the trip, ensuring he could tailor the experience to our needs. As a photographer, I decided to book a private tour with Jackson, which ended up being more valuable than we initially realized. The flexibility it provided allowed me to take the time I needed to get the perfect shot and linger in spots that caught my interest.

One of the standout qualities of Jackson as a guide is his deep connection to the region—he grew up as a Maasai, which gave him an extraordinary knowledge of the parks, animal behaviors, and the best spots to find wildlife. We focused on tracking big cats and the wildebeest migration crossing the Mara River, and Jackson's expertise was invaluable. Having been a guide since 2008, he’s known by everyone—other guides, park rangers, and even the hotel staff. During our drives, he would frequently help less experienced guides over the radio, demonstrating his leadership and generosity in sharing knowledge. I was also amazed at how he could identify animals and birds nearly 100% of the time when I asked.

As for accommodations, my wife and I were very pleased with the mid-level package we chose, which included a mix of permanent and portable tented camps, as well as a few nice hotels. The food was fantastic, especially the lunches Jackson prepared for us. Unlike the usual box lunches, we had hot meals served with tablecloths and real silverware—an unexpected and wonderful touch! I really appreciated the fact that Jackson worked with our budget and accommodated accordingly.

Jackson and his staff were on time when picking us up from the airport. Towards the end of our trip, our flight was delayed a number of hours and Jackson made sure we got the most for our money in that he was able to stay out a little longer instead of us waiting all day at the airport.

All in all, this trip far exceeded my expectations. I captured amazing photos, made unforgettable memories, and had an incredible time. My wife and I are already planning our next safari!

A passionate guide in Serengeti and a expert in animals
5/5

Our trip with Jackson was from 2024.9.4 to2024.9.11 which is amazing.
Arusha, Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Arusha.
Firstly, in the season Jackson can take you to see it all. We have seen all the big-five and many other great animals. We saw two rhinos in Lake Manyara; a cheetah with her two babies; 4 leopards; dozens of lions; plenty groups of buffaloes; lots of birds, antelopes, baboons, porcupines, hyenas est. And we saw 4 times of wildebeests river crossing in one day after a whole day waiting.
Secondly, Jackson can give you extra information about animals, cultures, life, family, society. He knows a lot and good at understanding in English. I have asked lots of questions with response one by one. And during the driving time, the lunch time, the dinner time, we chat a lot of different topics and have a wonderful time.
Thirdly, Jachson is eager to introduce Tanzania to people coming from the world. So the enthusiasm is unbelievable. He is hardworking too, get up early, get everything ready in advance. And he knows everyone in the safari.
Chose him as your guide, you' ll get a lot.

Did a 7 day 6 night safari with Jackson as the guide. The trip was a very positive one overall with Jackson being very accommodating to our needs. Happy to go with him again if I go for a safari in Tanzania in the future.

Most experienced guide and well organized trips.
5/5

I had the pleasure of going on a safari trip with Jackson in September 2024, exploring the North and Central Serengeti as well as the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Jackson's expertise and professionalism made the experience truly unforgettable.

From the moment we landed, his skill was evident — we witnessed a breathtaking river crossing almost immediately. Throughout the trip, Jackson consistently impressed us with his ability to spot wildlife, even those nearly impossible to see with binoculars, using just his keen eyesight.

His trip planning skills were exceptional. Despite working with a tight budget, he managed to organize a high-quality experience, arranging excellent safari vehicles and accommodations that exceeded our expectations. On top of that, Jackson went above and beyond by helping me plan a hike on Kilimanjaro, ensuring every detail was taken care of. He also responded messages fast on Whatsapp.

I highly recommend Jackson for anyone considering a safari or adventure in the region. His knowledge, dedication, and ability to create memorable experiences are unparalleled.
