Reviews
Brenda did an amazing job in preparing us for our journey. Trip was laid out well.
So much to know before you travel to Tanzania, but you will enjoy this safari with minimal preparation. Brenda gave us all of the information we needed prior to us leaving the US via video. The trip to the 3 national parks were well laid out, and the cultural day helped break the safaris into 2 parts. I do believe we should have been given some more education about how to "negotiate" prices of the items at the Maasai village, because we overspent what was necessary. Nevertheless, that visit to their village was awesome--it just cost me $150 more than it should have.
Our guide Noel was absolutely incredible, and did a great job educating us along the trip. Ashanti was also very good, but gave us less information and enjoyed taking his own photos. All in all, they exceeded our expectations and made the trip more enjoyable. The stay at Ngorongora Crater and in the Serengeti Camp was absolutely incredible. Get ready for some rough roads but you can manage. We never saw a single mosquito, but had a few run-ins with tsetse flies--nothing we couldn't handle. The memories of the trip, the people, the landscape, and the animals will never be forgotten.

Very knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining.
We received a detailed daily itinerary even before we arrived. Kakasii and Omo made us feel very special. We enjoyed all our travels in Tanzania and wonderful local restaurants. Of course a highlight would be the safari with all the wondeful closeup animals. Kakasii and Omo knew how to draw them out in the open.
We would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris for the very best Tanzania guides.

100% Recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris
We had the MOST INCREDIBLE time on our safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Not only did we see 4 of the big 5, leopards were hard to find, but we also got to go on a cultural walk and visit a coffee plantation. Our guide Leslie was outstanding and told us the history of Tanzania and about the animals. Our private tour was a once in a life time experience and we couldn't have asked for a better safari. Brenda is easy to work with and everything was coordinated seamlessly. I've already recommended them to my colleagues that are traveling to Tanzania soon.

FANTASTIC - start to finish, planning excellent, Guide Noel AWESOME, accomodations very comfortable
I recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris highly. Our trip was wonderful and our guide, Noel superb. Our group of 6 was handled carefully and safely the entire trip from airport back to airport hotel the night before departure. I can not give enough praise for our guide, good driver, knowledgeable, worked hard to keep us comfortable (rough roads, few/no restrooms), great job making daily schedules and departure time plans, quick to locate wildlife and quick to stop when we spotted wildlife, patient with our desire see every possible animal. Our favorite lodge Kubu Kubu tented lodge in the Serengeti. If you want expert advice to plan to your trip and a feeling of safety your entire trip - these are the folks to contact for a worry free and fun safari trip.

Wonderful experience, great guide
Communication and planning were top notch - we were contacted by our guide, Humphrey, before we were due to depart and were provided our guides details in advance too.
Humphrey was at our meeting spot in advance of our arrival and had us loaded up and on the road in short order.
We arrived at the park around 8am from Arusha and had a wonderful day day - we think we were incredibly lucky with what we saw during the day - lions, elephants, zebra, impala, ostriches, wilderness, vultures (feeding and flying!), dikdik, waterbuck, and buffalo, to name a few.
Humphrey has amazing eyes and pointed us to lilac breasted roller birds and tiny rock hyrax, and two types of mongoose. How he spotted these for us is beyond belief.
The day Humphrey planned for us had us at the quiet spots for lunch and not on top of other safari trucks.
The packed lunch was delicious, and not all the same so we could swap to meet our preferences.
Over all a wonderful day and we know how lucky we are - to any anyone reading this, we wish you the same fabulous sightings and experience we had.

Tanzania adventure with Victor the African Animal Whisperer, Amazing!al
TANZANIA Choice Safaris provided us with an amazing guide, accomodations that exceeded our expectations, yet added to our adventure, and a trip we will never forget. Our stories have overwhelmed our friends as we shared our stories and photos. The excitement, the beauty, overwhelming vistas, animals behaving as nature intended, and hundreds of photos to keep the memories alive. The family time was well spent sharing feelings, emotions, learning, and appreciation of life in Africa. Learning about the people of Africa as well as the animals put the everything in perspective. Each tour added to the respect of the animals and the people that live day to day with them. Victor, our guide, driver, never ceased to amaze us. His knowledge, driving capabilities, and absolute love of his job was always apparent. Thank you BRENDA AND STAFF for making our trip such a memorable event in our lives. Highly recommend the Hot Air Balloon Adventure over the Serengetti, a 5 star event. We loved it!

Very kind drivers and tour guides!
We booked a 5 day trip in Zanzibar with this group and it was lots of fun! Hotels were nice and people were nicer. Was an amazing experience and want to go back. Hope to use Tanzania Choice Safaris another time in the future. They worked very well with our budget.

Top Notch
Kakasii & Brenda planned and executed our safari with excellence. Brenda communicated frequently and with helpul information from day one. Kakasii met us at the airport and gave us superb service for 10 days. He is jovial, expert and safety conscious. We had multiple unbelievable views of wildlife. This once in a lifetime experience was more than I had ever imagined. To see these beautiful creatures living their best life in Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti was lifechanging. I will be forever grateful to Brenda and Kakasii for providing this opportunity in this beautiful country. Our trip progressed without a hitch due to their comprehensive and friendly planning.

Spectacular
Brenda and Kakasii provided us with an amazing experience from beginning to end. Brenda's attention to detail on the administrative side is admirable. She provided so much quality information that we had very few unanswered questions. However, she was still quick, thorough, and patient to respond to any and all inquiries. We were so well informed and prepared coming into the trip. We were tired travelers when we first met Kakasii at the airport. His energy and enthusiasm boosted us on that first night until the very end of our trip. We traveled many miles together and his expert knowledge and driving made all the difference. He is committed to each and every one of his customers and ensures a high quality experience. I am deeply appreciative of his high standards, easy going attitude, and humor. Tanzania Choice Safaris is an excellent choice for a tour company and one that you will not regret.
