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!

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... ;-)

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.

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.

The cars were divine - toyota cruiser with open roof for the safati- i never drived for so many kilometers in safari roads without filling the bumps of feeling tired...

Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara & Tarangire NP
The Operator: Jackson was the first person we met in Moshi who seemed trustworthy, flexible and willing to give us a fair deal. In the space of 24 hours, he organised for us to meet the driver/guide and take a ride in the safari vehicle. He met all of our requests and answered our questions with conviction and poise. We had a great experience with MJ Safaris, and my advice to anyone booking a safari is to go to Moshi, meet the operator, meet the driver/guide and take a ride in the car. Moshi is a tourist town and with so many safari operators it can be difficult to find someone trustworthy (I'd met many people on my travels who had been stung by dodgy operators trying to make a quick buck).
The Safari: Our driver, Victor, was excellent. He was friendly and with very good English. He picked us up on time, drove safely and was skilled when negotiating the muddy, dirt roads of the national parks and Crater. He also had an excellent knowledge of the wildlife in the various parks and was quick to drive over to animals so we could get a close-up.
Thanks Victor & Jackson!

Awesome safari, flexible operator
Jackson was very open and patient with all our questions and flexible to change accomodations (before we starded our trip).
We met our driver-guide Victor with his car before we finaly booked the safari. During the trip, we enjoyed his knowlege about lokal plants, animals and traditions. Besides, he arranged the day to suit us, in case we wanted to stop somewhere to buy snacks or souvenirs or for pictures or toilet ;)

Great experience, super helpful staff
Just finished doing both a safari and a Kilimanjaro climb with MJ. Both tours were very pleasant and well organized. Apart from that Jackson (the tour operator) was also really helpful with all the logistics (ticket buying, hotel booking, equipment renting, etc) without extra charging anything. Highly recommended!

Climbing Kilimanjaro with the best service you can get
Jackson from MJ Safaris was recommended to us by our hotel and from the moment we met him we were convinced that we can fully trust him. He was very honest and service-oriented, which we liked a lot and decided even - though we had a recommendation for another company of friends of ours - to book with his agency. The team was excellent, every single moment we were treated fine. Athman, our chief guide was very professional and experienced and fulfilled all our expectations. The meals were very satisfying, the equipment was in very good condition, so that our expedition was successful from the beginning. We can strongly recommend MJ Safari to everyone. Thanks to Jackson & his great team!

MJ Safaris is a excellent safari operator.
MJ Safaris helped me to access all the beauty of the Parks and wild animals in Tanzania. They were very attemptive and agile to arrange the details. I liked the linked comfortable hotel structure, the vehicles, the equipment provided, and skilled guides that met me in the right measure. We went to every corner of the Parks. I did a lot of friends during these days, and the price was according to the service provided. I did the Kilimanjaro climbing as well. Nothing to complain.
