6 day Kilimanjaro climb and six day family safari
Jackson Lyimo helped us book a successful Kilimanjaro climb for my two sons aged 18 and 16 as well as a six day game safari for my family of four. Impressed with the great people, quality of communication by email and in person. Prices were very reasonable. Offices located in the Moshi Ymca. The Ymca is basic but with gorgeous swimming pool and views of Kilimanjaro. You won't do better.

One of the best trips ever!
I definitely recommend these guys. They are flexible and helpful, they sorted a place for us in Moshi and later in Dar and Zanzibar!!.. The trip was worth every penny. Our guide Nelly was hilarious and the cook Davis prepared super delicious food.

great value and unforgetable experience
booked my 4-day joining safari directly via their website but found them here. everything was well organized. Staff (Jackson) was really helpful and could answer all my questions as it was the first time for me to go on a safari. trip started in moshi and they picked me up from my hotel which was not far from MJs office which made everything very convenient. the driver (Tony) who was also the guide was the perfect man for that job. enthusiastic, friendly, easy-going and with a great knowledge of the tanzanian nature. the whole trip (serengeti, ngorongoro, tarangire,...) was perfect for me as i saw everything i wanted to see in a limited time. as i´ve never done a safari before and didn´t know if i will like it, i thought 4 days might be enough for the first time. at the camping sites our cook (David) prepared delicious meals and i still wonder how he could do with the limited equipment they had on the campsites. well done!!! To come to an end i must say that i would book again at MJs if i come to Tanzania again! Sounds too perfect maybe, but it was! the only thing was that i didn´t see all "big five" which is for sure not their fault... ;-)

Wonderful safari!!
I'm very glad I used this company for my safari! Jackson was great to work with and answered all of my questions prior to my trip. When I got there I did a 5 day safari as well as a couple day trips around Moshi. Everything was arranged really well and I had such an amazing time! Even when little changes needed to be made in my planned itinerary in the middle of the trip, Jackson was very willing to work with me and make sure I got the full value for what I paid. The price was great and the accommodations were better than I was expecting, given that it was a camping safari. I had a wonderful trip and I definitely recommend MJ Safaris!

Serengeti Safari
We booked a four day three nights camping Safari with MJ Safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Everything was well organized. The camping was a great experience. We had our own cook who made very delicious meals. The guide was very friendly. We were able to see all the animals. I would definitly book again with MJ Safari.

Worth your time and expense!
My travel partner and I had a fantastic safari with MJ Safaris. Jackson was a pleasure to deal with and did as much as he could to plan out the 4 day, 3 night safari to suit all requests and needs. He was very diligent about the business and matters at hand. Our guide, Tom, was a joy. Very knowledgable about the surrounding area and the animals living within. Good natured and way going - a good combination for such an excursion. All this combined to create one memorable experience. You can't go wrong booking with MJ Safaris!

6 day Machame Route + 2 day safari
We booked the 6 day Machame Route and 2 day safari with MJSafaris and it was excellent! Jackson was fantastic - super helpful in answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. Their pricing was very competitive but we received the same high quality equipment, meals, and services from our guides and porters as others who paid much more than us. Both the Kili climb and the safari were unforgettable experiences... My guide for the two day safari - Innocent - was superb, extremely knowledgeable with 10+ years safari experience. We had one small issue with one of our sleeping bags on the mountain but Jackson handled and resolved the situation so well that we were more than happy that we booked with him. Highly recommend!

Great Safari and Kili climb with helpful and knowledgeable guides
We booked with MJ Safaris & Adventure the 4 days Safari and 5 days Marangu route to Kili. Both of trips were amazing experience and made up to our expectations. Jackson was very helpful from the beginning, also he gave us good price. He took care of us during our stay in Moshi.
What regards the Kili climb, we could rent all the equipments from Jackson. The huts were ok, but be prepared for very cold nights! The food made by our cook was really good and diversified. Our guide: Aron, and his assistant Alex, were very caring and knowledgeable. They supported us throughout the whole trek. Actually, we can write with no doubt that we made it to the Uhuru mainly thanks to them.
What regards safari we also had a superb experience – we were sleeping in the tents, which made the whole trip even more memorable as you could really hear the animals in the camp area. Our guide and driver – Marko, was extremely knowledgeable guy. In most of cases we were the first to see the animals or to know where they will go. Marko was talkative, open-minded and really had a lot to tell about the animals and the Tanzanian parks.
We would definitely recommend Jackson agency for your trip bookings - they will be for sure the most memorable experiences, as they were for us.

Jackson and his team are exceptional and their service has real attention to detail.
My wife and I had the most amazing wildlife safari adventure with MJ Safaris. We saw the big five, and so many other species and much more besides animals. Our trip was extremely well organised and Jackson went out of his way to ensure we had an unforgettable experience. We saw the Ngorongoro Crater, the Serengeti, and a number of other parks, including Amboseli on the Kenyan side which were all spellbinding. Our driver Frank was not only highly knowledgeable about everything we saw, but possessed the most remarkable eyesight, picking out well camouflaged animals from distance where my wife and I could see nothing yet! We have come away with lasting memories of such a wonderful time. Huge thanks to MJ Safaris. We recommend them highly.

Great Trip
After completing a very rewarding and enjoyable climb of Kilimanjaro with MJ they then organised a 4 day safari for me which was a lot easier than climbing Kilimanjaro but equally enjoyable. Everything about the safari was perfect. We saw all of the big 5. We had a good quality and comfortable vehicle. The tents were lovely. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and the food was gorgeous. For me everything was perfect and the price was very reasonable.
