Unforgettable Guide
Forget all other tours. Kakashi is the godfather of guides. He is the guide others aspire to be. He knows the terrain, he knows where the animals are and he has an eye for locating them and being the first one there. Such a wonderful time spent with a true professor of wildlife. We were a party of 6. I've traveled the world and usually find my own way. I was hesitant but so glad we joined this group. Thanks Brenda for making all the arrangements and Kakasii for being our guide and leader. STOP SEARCHING NOW AND BOOK TANZANIA TOURS.

Spectacular
A huge shout out to Kakasii & Brenda. Brenda provided us with all the necessary information about the Safari & made it very convenient for our mission group as she came to us

Once in a Lifetime Trip!
Overall, my wife and I had an excellent adventure during our safari. We went at the end of the great migration. Our guide, Noel, met us at the airstrip and our journey began.
We started at the Ngorogoro Crater and ended at the very northern end of the Serengeti. Noel was very knowledgable and hyper-competent. We always felt safe and informed. Considering we were in the Landcruiser for a week, we really enjoyed one another's company. Noel, and his cohort of professional guide (who are linked by a radio network), worked diligently to expose us to wildlife. We even saw a lion take down a Zebra! We saw one of the last wildebeast river crossings and even saw some crocodiles make brutal work of a few stragglers.
Overall, our guide made our safari fantastic! We cannot recommend them enough.

I wish I could safari every year with Tanzania Choice Safaris
For my wife's 50th birthday we decided to take an African safari. We looked online and spoke to one safari coordinator in the US but luckily we mentioned our plans to a friend who had taken a safari with Tanzania Choice safaris. I am so glad that conversation because from the initial meeting to the subsequent planning sessions we knew we had made the right choice. Brenda did an amazing joj of organizing everything perfectly for us and we had the adventure of a lifetime. It was exactly what we were looking for in a safari and it was truly a magnificent trip. Our guide was truly outstanding and Leslie was such a wonderful educator and driver. All in all we long to return to Tanzania and recreate this adventure one day in the future and there is not doubt in my mind our first and only call would be to Tanzania Choice Safaris for a return trip !!!

A warm and knowledgeable guide to the Parks, concerned about our enjoyment, and a great driver.
Tanzanian Choice Safaris was a dream to work with. The husband-and-wife owners (a Tanzanian man and an American woman who live in the country and frequent the hotels and lodges themselves) were primarily focused on our enjoyment and comfort, and were able to tailor a trip just the way we wanted. And, most importantly, they did not try to oversell us or manipulate our schedule like other companies. The personal touch was apparent from our earliest consultation, to having lunch with them in Arusha, to dropping us at the airport. The jeep was comfortable, the driving was excellent, and everything was top-notch. It was a point of pride for our guide (also the owner) to show us as many animals as he could. All the lodging was great, and the Zanzibar portion of our trip, organized by Tanzanian Choice, was also wonderful. I have nothing but good things to say about Tanzanian Choice and would recommend them heartily to anyone.

Leslie and Tanzania Choice Safaris are absolutely the best!
I scheduled my safari very close to my travel date. Brenda coordinated the trip beautifully, and arranged everything. Leslie, my guide, is the absolute best! He was able to locate animals at an incredible distance, and instinctively knew exactly where to stop to get the ideal view. In addition, he was like an encyclopedia for the various creatures we found. (He had a book available, but generally referenced it only to show me something as a comparison; I think I stumped him only once with a question about ostriches). We were able to see all the usual safari sights; but a number of unusual sights as well (including mama and baby cheetahs, and a serval cat). Leslie just "instinctively" knew where to be and when. He is like a magician!

Adventure of a lifetime with Tanzania Choice Safaris
My family of 4 booked a safari to 3 parks with Tanzania Choice based on the recommendation of friends who lived in Tanzania at the time. We are beyond pleased that we did; it was the adventure of a lifetime, even with all the great vacations we have had before and since. Our guide was Kakasii, and he made sure we were in right place at the right time to see an amazing variety and number of animals: hundreds of elephants, plus giraffes, lions, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, and so much more. His knowledge of the parks and the animals' habits ensured we missed nothing and came away learning so much. We will definitely reach out to Kaskasii and Brenda again when we are ready for our next safari adventure. Not only was the safari experience perfect, but Brenda helped us deal with adjusting plans when the airline changed our flights at last minute. They are the best!

Absolutely amazing experience!
Our whole safari was just fantastic. The arrangements from beginning to end were excellent and although the price is not cheap, it was absolutely worth it. Kakasi was a thoroughly knowledgeable guide and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The accommodations were great. The car had chargers so we didn’t worry about running out of batteries—important because we took so many pictures! Kakasi stayed at each animal as long as we wanted. He asked us what we wanted to see and he delivered. I can’t say enough good about the service Tanzania Choice Safaris provides.

Amazing Trip!! Thank you Tanzania Choice Safaris :)
What a dream come true! Brenda and her staff were awesome. Our guides, Noel and his brother Lee, took care of our group from the time we landed at the airport until they took us to the airport door for our return trip home! Brenda worked with our group and made sure our safari was exactly what we were looking for. We had two vehicles with our group of nine and Noel was our driver. He was awesome and so accommodating to our group. Lodging and meals were great. Would definitely recommend Brenda and her staff. If we ever get an opportunity to go back, we will choose Brenda and her staff again! Everything was exactly as Brenda explained to us and there were no issues with our safari. We enjoyed every minute of our safari and our hike to Kilimanjaro. Noel made sure we saw as many animals on our safari as possible. He was great!

So many safari companies to choose from and we thankfully chose Tanzania Choice Safaris!
There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of safari companies vying for your business in Tanzania. When I asked the Community Liaison Office at the U.S. Embassy in Dar, and they commented that they had heard good things about TCS, we took that as a recommendation and went with them. Absolutely everything, from our initial contact and working out the details, to the actual safari experience was 5-star! We did a personal safari, just my wife and I, and went with a deluxe package. This was my 5th safari, first time in Tanzania, and ranks number 1. You can’t go wrong with TCS!!! Highly recommended.
