A nice and beautifull trip with a really good guide
Firstly, the entire travel planning phase allowed us to see the seriousness of our contact who was able to adapt to our timing needs during our stay. They also helped us plan our journey from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam. However, upon our arrival on the mainland, we were unpleasantly surprised to discover that we needed to pay in Shillings instead of dollars. It is important for the tour operator to clearly inform future clients about this, as the information, if present, is not prominent enough. Consequently, we had to spend some time upon arrival exchanging our dollars into local currency. Despite this, everything went smoothly, both in terms of transportation and accommodation. We would like to highlight several positive aspects about our guide, Paul, whom we highly recommend to potential travelers! He is always there when you need him, yet he also allows you to fully enjoy your moments. He is an excellent driver and has extensive knowledge about the area. During the safari, his perseverance and desire to satisfy us led him to spend extra time in the late afternoon, ultimately allowing us to see lions and elephants! It was a magnificent moment. We would like to thank Paul once again. In summary, while there were some pieces of information we would have liked to know beforehand (such as the payment method), overall, it was a highly successful experience!

Excellent service
I worked with Nelia, she quickly responded to my request and provided an itinerary that worked perfectly for us. I had requested some changes from the advertised itinerary on Safari Bookings and she seamlessly put it all together. The payment process was easy and I appreciated the option of paying by credit card instead of having to wire funds.
I waited to write my review until after we completed our safari and the execution was flawless; Safari.com booked our domestic flights, arranged ground transportation and booked us at the lodges of our choice in Balule and Timbavati. Loved both lodges and the reserves; they were different than, but compared favorably, to our previous experiences at Sabi Sands.
This was my fifth safari where I started the booking process on Safari Bookings and all have been outstanding experiences (all with different local operators). I highly recommend both Safari.com and Safari Bookings.

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!

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.

Benjamin is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly companion
I recently went on a safari trip in South Africa, exploring Kruger, Hlane, iMfolozi, iSimangaliso National Parks, as well as a short stay in St Lucia.
Our guide Benjamin was simply exceptional - passionate, helpful, and incredibly friendly.
His expertise in the African wilderness, coupled with his genuine passion for wildlife, made for a memorable and fun 15 day adventure.
The prices were quite reasonable, in fact we didn't expect the kind of service provided at this price ooint.
I strongly recommend Siya Phambile Expeditions to anyone seeking an extraordinary safari adventure that is both educational and immensely enjoyable.

Abouh is a nice and young guy, who knows the Nationalparks perfectly.
We have been on a 8-Day Safari with Sandpiper Safaris.
The trip was very good organized.
We have been in Tarangire Nationalpark, Ngorongo Crater and Serengeti. We saw so many different animals.
The guide was very good at spotting the animals. Also our guide (Abouh) was very flexible and drove and stopped wherever we wanted.
He adjusted our Route, so that we had a perfect experience.
We would book every time again with Sandpiper Safaris

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.

Amazing and professional.
Everything about dealing with Njema was incredibly easy and I had an amazing time.
I went on a day trip safari from Zanzibar. Everything was included in one fee which made life easy and clear. Transfer from the hotel was punctual and professional. The flight over was good, the staff at the safari were very friendly and knowledgeable. A good day and food provided. The driver done his best to get us close to the animals and get us a variety of animals to see. Easy and relaxed. The same can all be said for after the Safari too. Easy and professional until I arrived back at my hotel. The communication before and after the Safari was excellent and easy. Shout-out to Evance who took care of all my questions over WhatsApp. Highly recommend the experience to everyone. Best day trip but I think a multi-day Safari gets you everything. We did miss a few animals but for a 1 day trip saw so much, not the fault of the company just your luck on the day. 5 stars!!
