We started looking for a private safari of about 10 days in Tanzania and 4 to 5 days relaxing in Zanzibar. As this was not our first safari, we contacted several tour operators (TO) with a sample itinerary we found on the internet.
While most of the TO were only interested in our budget or responded with a price for the exact sample itinerary, Jerry Tanzania Tours was the only one who requested to talk to us in person to suggest changes and discuss options.
Over a time period of about 2 weeks we talked multiple times via WhatsApp to Jeremiah Kimambo of Jerry Tanzania Tours and developed an itinerary for our dream safari. Only then we discussed price. Even after we agreed on a price we made additional changes without problems.
The first question Shirima, our guide asked us, at what time we wanted to be back at the lodge, at 4 PM to take advantage of happy hour or stretch the game drives as long as possible, we answered, we are here for the nature not for the swimming pool. This set the tone for the best safari we could have dreamed off, including amazing viewing of the big migration of the wildebeest.
Shirima turned out to be a fantastic safari guide, he was able to explain particularities of all the birds and animals we encountered, obviously this included the big five, and answered all our questions with a smile.
Jeremiah of Jerry Tanzania Tours organized a flawless safari vacation. The dedication and knowledge of Shirima our guide, made this an unforgettable experience.
We do recommend a few days of relaxation after a hectic safari, Zanzibar is fantastic.
If we come back to Tanzania we definitely will again use the services of Jerry Tanzania Tours, and we will insist to have Shirima as our guide.

I cannot recommend Jerry Tanzania Tours highly enough. They help you to build the perfect trip for you and are incredibly responsible and flexible in answering all your questions as you build up to your trip. Climbing Kilimanjaro is a pretty big deal and although these guys have been up and down the mountain many times, they never forget that for you, it's a very real and personal challenge but also a special and potentially once in a lifetime experience. They are friendly, supportive, safety conscious and respectful. We were given every opportunity to take as many photos as we wanted and our guides, Eric and Brighton, were usually in most of them as well!
We did the 7 day Lemosho route which is beautiful with amazing and varied scenery and gives you plenty of time to acclimatise. It's challenging as well but you wouldn't be doing this if you weren't trying to challenge yourself.
The team that supported us thought of everything and our tent was comfortable and we had so much good food to eat thanks to our excellent chef MK.
The trip is full of extra little touches such as a cup of tea to wake you up, hot water to wash with and someone to dust your boots or carry your bag that last mile when you are beginning to stoop.
If you can afford to, I would recommend going as a smaller group because it will feel all the more personal and special thanks to Jerry and the team.
And if you can... add on a couple of days of safari at the end to really complete your Tanzania experience. Jerry Tanzania will help you with that as well and apply the same personal and caring touch to making your trip a once in a lifetime amazing memory!

I had been wanting to climb Kilimanjaro for a while and finally got the opportunity to go. I booked Jerry Tanzania tours and it has been the most amazing experience. From the first email I sent to Jerry to enquire about the trip, he has been amazing, very helpful, professional and guided me through what I needed to do.
The team when I arrived at Kilimanjaro were excellent, my guide Steven, the cook, the porters and the driver were all an exceptional bunch of guys who made the experience everything I had hoped it would be.
I would highly recommend booking with Jerry Tanzania Tours, they are a local company in the Kilimanjaro area and have extensive knowledge of the mountain and local attractions.
The hotel for the stay before and after the climb was perfect, the food on the mountain was excellent and the positivity and friendliness of the team was second to none.
After the climb I had the opportunity to spend some time in the local town of Moshi, I had an amazing time with the best of people.
A visit to Tanzania is a must, the people and culture here is an experience not found anywhere id been before, and I can not recommend enough booking your visit through Jerry.

Not enough I can say about my experience - it far surpassed my expectations! From the moment I was looking to book, Jerry was incredibly helpful, quick to respond and everything was seamless from start to finish!
As for the climb, Rayson made it so enjoyable for me and if you’re going to do this climb, I cannot recommend him and his crew enough. They are by far the best at what they do and I’ve never had a better crew in any other adventures I’ve done before. The food was amazing, the crew made sure I was always comfortable and they kept me motivated as we got to and finally reached the summit.
If you’re looking for amazing service, an exceptional guide and and overall once in a lifetime experience I highly recommend you use Jerry and if you can manage, get Rayson as your guide!

We had an amazing safari experience organized by Jerry Tanzania Tours and can highly recommend them!
We were a group of two families with children between the ages of 8 and 10. Leading up to the safari, we had a LOT of requests, such as accommodating the kids' shorter attention spans and many dietary requirements. Jerry took everything in stride and organized the perfect trip for us. Everything was brilliant from start to finish. Our drivers, Michael and Shirima, were friendly, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable. Every day was perfectly organized, taking into account the weather, our energy levels, the best animal viewing opportunities, etc. We saw all the animals we hoped to see and many more. The lodges recommended by Jerry were all fabulous with great food and service.
This was probably a once-in-a-lifetime trip for us and I'm so glad we chose to go with Jerry. Thank you, Jerry and team, for the wonderful memories!

The experience of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was a once in a lifetime experience, for our group Jerry Tours was instrumental in that. They were nothing short of fantastic; from the guides who not only helped up the mountain but were engaging and very friendly. We managed thanks to their help to get all 13 of us to the top, whole groups making it to the top are rare and our success is testament to the guides at Jerry's.
The porters who did an exceptional job taking the equipment and supplies we needed up the mountain (and to our slight embarrassment they were much quicker then us with even more weight.)
Lastly, I want to mention Jerimiah if any of you choose Jerry's tours, I hope you have the good fortune to be helped by him, not only friendly he was extremely helpful. Organizing transport for us to the various locations we wanted to visit around the local area at very short notice as well as being able to accommodate transport to and from the airport at different times.

Jerry runs a smaller tour company so you receive personalized service. We had flight issues and he resolved the problems, reconfigured our trip and made a problem a great experience. He answers his phone personally and promptly.
We toured Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and of course the Serengeti. Accommodations were 5 star. Our tour guide/ driver was very experienced and knowledgeable. He made sure we saw the big five.
The best recommendation is we are planning to return next summer.

It was our first time in East Africa and we had the most fantastic experience with Jerry Tanzania Tours. Jeremiah was very professional and attentive to all our requests. The accommodations he recommended and the tour he designed for us was perfect. Our driver Shirima, himself a passionate photographer, went out of his way to ensure we get the chance to see all animals and take the perfect shot. If you need expert advice to organize a safari tour, look no further!

My friend and I made it to the Roof of Africa. It was a true test. We went with Jerry’s Tanzania Tours and we were completely satisfied. They answered of our questions through out the entire climb. The guides were knowledgeable and very sympathetic to our needs.The guides were very positive and motivated us to reach the summit.The chef prepared excellent food and kept us well fed at all times. The porters were friendly and tentative to our needs. This is why it's worthwhile going to the top with Jerry Tanzania. They can be trusted to look after clients’ interests and safety. They are proud and thorough in their service and it shows.

This was an amazing experience. I can't recommend this tour company enough! Jeremy and his tour guides were fantastic from start to finish, professional and courteous. Nothing was too much hassle and they were always happy to accommodate any requests from our party.
Our whole party of 13 made it to the top of kilimanjaro and safely down, this was all thanks to this special team that aided us through out.
Thank you all so much.
