Amazing experience
Everything was perfectly managed, food, accommodation, tents and lodge. We met a fantastic group, and our guide Malisa was amazing. We saw all the big five and some of the animals were very close to us.

WORTH IT but room for improvement
Stanley, the owner, was fantastic for all pre-trip communication, very clear and attentive, answering all questions and reserving a place for us whilst we waited for visa.
The safari trip itself was hosted by a guide from another company which we were not informed about, but the guide Omar was very experienced, knowledgeable and well-informed with great attitude and a big smile. We were so glad we had Omar for our entire 5 days and built a good relationship with him but many other travellers were not so lucky and were thrown around different cars and groups. This was a surprise to us having different people in the car each day as the organisation from the office seemed very chaotic trying to accommodate different itineraries. Unfortunately this practice led to our itinerary being changed around on Day 2 (Lake Manyara first instead of Serengeti). We went along with it and still visited all the destinations but it was less ideal than our original itinerary. Also, we didn’t realise that group tours bundled travellers living in different accommodations (eg. campsite vs lodge) so there was quite some time wasted on driving for pick up/drop off, especially in Serengeti where accommodations were 45mins or more apart.
When we reflected this to Stanley, he was very sorry and did his best to make it up to us. We trust that he will sincerely make improvements for future tours.
On the positive side, seeing the animals - including all Big 5 - in person was an absolutely AMAZING experience, as was meeting travellers from around the world! Accommodation at the lodges was great, clean and comfortable, but be aware that camping public campsite is not for everyone with shared sleeping bags and very basic, sometimes extremely dirty, toilet facilities. A chef came with the group to cook for us and he did a great job with hot lunch and dinner so we were well looked after meals-wise! You definitely do get a good “African massage” from the bumpy roads but the car was comfortable and provided a great view (aside from when it broke down few times).
All in all, some questionable organisation norms and unexpected car issues aside, it was definitely worth it seeing the wonderful animals and the magnificent landscapes!
For first timers like us, we recommend checking with your tour company if you will be with the same guide the whole trip, and if on a group tour like us, whether your itinerary will be honoured. Also, we found that 24 hours in Serengeti is way too short as it is such a HUGE area and much time was spent driving long distance in and out of the park, as well as dropping/picking up other travellers from their accommodation. In hindsight, we would go for an extra night in Serengeti for more dedicated game drive time and to take it all in.

Excellent Safari. Outstanding guide performance. Highly recommended
Excellent guide (Augustinian), who delivered way beyond expectations to satisfy all demands and provided an outstanding service!
Jumbo tour was very well organized, checking in on a regular basis and replying to all requests. Very attentive and dedicated service. Great experience.
On the negative side (if we need to go down this road), luncheons/pick-nicks were repetitive and not over abundant. But dinners at camps were amazing.
We didn’t book a private tour but a grouped one (4 other guests), which was perfectly fine (and fun to share the experience with other safari enthusiasts), but the different camp/lodge locations were quite far apart, forcing our guide to drive extra hours and us arriving/departing with extended time frames. Grouping guests with closer overnight bookings would be better and more efficient.

A Perfect Family Adventure in Tanzania!
Honestly, our first trip to Tanzania with the fam wouldn’t have been the same without Lucas and Said from Jambo Bwana Expedition. These guys know their stuff and made every moment awesome!
Lucas was our go-to guy in Tarangire. He’s got this knack for finding animals in the wild, and he made sure our kiddo didn’t miss a single thing. He’s super knowledgeable but also just a cool guy to hang out with – felt like we were exploring with a friend who happens to know everything about the bush!
Then there’s Said, who took us to Materuni Waterfalls. This guy’s a total legend – super friendly and full of stories. He taught us so much about the local culture and made the hike feel like a fun adventure, even with a little one in tow.
Lucas and Said went above and beyond to make our family trip memorable. If you’re hitting up Tanzania, don’t think twice – Jambo Bwana with these guys is where it’s at!

Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure 🚙🐾
Our adventure through Tanzania with Jambo Bwana Expedition was truly unforgettable! From the expansive landscapes of Tarangire National Park 🦏🦒 to the lush beauty of Materuni Waterfalls, our guides Lucas and Said made every moment magical.
Lucas brought the safari to life, saying, "It’s not just about spotting animals - it’s about understanding them." With his expertise, we connected deeply with the wildlife and captured every amazing sight. Said’s warmth and humor made our waterfall trek so special; as he told us, ‘The land speaks if you listen.’ 🐾 Every step was rich with insight, laughter, and cultural stories.
Lucas and Said went above and beyond, crafting a journey we’ll cherish forever. If you’re heading to Tanzania, Jambo Bwana Expedition and these amazing guides are a must!

I had an amazing experience with Jambo Bwana Expedition! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Our guide, Gift, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to ensure we had a memorable trip. The entire team was professional and attentive, making sure we felt comfortable and informed at every step. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Jambo Bwana Expedition to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure!

Jambo Bwana Expedition offered us an overall enjoyable, amazing and unforgettable Safari experience.
I went on the 5 day safari with Jambo Bwana Expedition and it exceeded all of our expectations.
We visited 4 national parks: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide was very knowledgeable about all of the different animals and knew how/where to find all of the animals we wanted to see. Saw countless elephants, giraffes, lions, buffalo, rhinos, cheetahs, gazelle, wilder beasts, all types of birds, etc. Our Guide was also very hospitable he was very respectful to our wishes to stop, stay longer, or any other requests we made.
Everything was on schedule and we didn’t have any issues.
Overall amazing experience everything was Very Nice.
