Meet Jackson

Come and see Tanzania through my eyes

My name is Jackson Jayden Lyoseko, founder and safari guide of Lyoseko Safaris Tanzania. I was born and raised in Tanzania and know the Northern Circuit not from maps, but from real days in the bush. For official information about the country’s protected areas, visit the Tanzania National Parks Authority.

From the first conversation, I personally help shape every safari we organise. In addition, depending on availability and travel dates, your journey will be guided by me or by one of the trusted local guides I work closely with. Together, we share the same approach: patient wildlife viewing, respect for nature, personal attention and the freedom to experience Tanzania at your own pace.

“You arrive as our guest. You leave knowing Tanzania a little more deeply.”

In September, we went on safari with Lyoseko Safaris for the second time, and once again it was an amazing experience. Again we saw so many animals thanks to Jackson’s great knowledge of the area and the territories of the animals. We will definitely come back for a third safari, and I think that says a lot about our experience with Jackson.

We took a 7-day safari across multiple parks with Lyoseko Safaris with Jackson being the guide and driver. We had an incredible experience that we will treasure for ever. Jackson is a very friendly and respectful guide that made us very comfortable at all moments, organized very nice lodges and ensured we would see the Big 5 and more. We enjoyed every minute of our experience with Lyoseko and would highly recommend it to anybody.

Dankzij Jackson werd deze safari een ervaring die onze verwachtingen ruimschoots heeft overtroffen. Vanaf het eerste contact verliep alles ontzettend prettig. Op vragen kregen we snel antwoord, er werd actief meegedacht over de invulling van de reis en eenmaal in Tanzania hoefden we eigenlijk nergens meer over na te denken. De permits waren geregeld, de route zat logisch in elkaar en de lodges waren stuk voor stuk fijne plekken om na een lange safaridag terug te komen. Ook over het eten viel niets te klagen. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en iedere dag kregen we een goed verzorgde lunchbox mee voor onderweg en ’s avonds konden we aanschuiven voor een lekkere maaltijd. Na een dag vroeg opstaan, hobbelen over zandwegen en urenlang dieren spotten is dat ontzettend fijn. De jeep die we hadden was comfortabel, goed en netjes onderhouden en groot genoeg zodat je elkaar niet in de weg zit. De jeep was voorzien van een dak dat open kan, een koelbox met water, stopcontacten om elektronica op te laden, stoelen die naar achter kunnen en handige opbergvakken. Jackson maakte de jeep elke avond schoon. Maar uiteindelijk kom je natuurlijk voor één ding naar Tanzania: de dieren. En daar blinkt Jackson echt in uit. Terwijl wij nog zitten te turen naar een struik waarvan we denken dat er misschien iets zou kunnen liggen, heeft hij allang gezien dat er daadwerkelijk een leeuw, luipaard of cheeta verstopt zit. Hij weet ontzettend veel van het gedrag van de dieren en hun territorium. Ook al zijn er nog zoveel dieren, je moet ze alsnog vinden. En daarin maken ervaring en kennis echt het verschil. Tijdens onze safari hebben we dan ook ongelooflijk veel gezien. Grote groepen leeuwen, cheeta’s met jongen, luipaarden, olifanten met baby’s, hyena’s, giraffen, nijlpaarden, een serval en zelfs een neushoorn. Een cheeta met vijf jongen die een safari-jeep uitkozen als schuilplaats. Drie broertjes cheeta’s die op nog geen paar meter afstand lagen te relaxen. Leeuwen die bomen inklommen en een groep olifanten die de weg oversteken. Wat we daarnaast erg waardeerden, is de kennis die Jackson heeft. Niet alleen over de dieren, maar ook over hun gedrag en de natuur om hen heen. Daardoor zie je niet alleen veel, maar begrijp je ook beter waar je naar kijkt. Wat we misschien nog wel het fijnst vonden, is dat Jackson goed aanvoelt wat je zoekt in een safari. De ene keer reden we een flink stuk om een bijzonder dier te vinden, de andere keer bleven we juist een half uur staan kijken. Het programma werd aangepast aan wat er die dag te beleven viel. Kortom: zoek je een safari waarbij alles goed geregeld is, je de kans hebt dat je ontzettend veel ziet én een gids hebt die de noordelijke parken door en door kent, dan zit je bij Lyoseko Safaris helemaal goed. Wij kijken in ieder geval nu al uit naar onze volgende safari met Jackson.

Jackson is undoubtedly one of the best guides in Tanzania. Attentive, kind, cheerful, and caring. And above all, respectful of the animals. He will make your safari experience the best you've ever had. Asante sana Rafiki! - Lorena (Spain)
