We saw almost everything possible!
Our guide was Noel, and he arrived punctually to pick us up. Once we were in the national park we immediately started seeing lots of wildlife. We only had three days to spare and he made sure we got our monies worth and more.
He was very patient with us, allowing plenty of time to watch the animals. While some people may not care a lot about the dikdiks, we saw 35 in about 1 1/2 hours the first afternoon. He delivered us to the safari camp and we had a good meal. When we were signing in animals were coming in to water just out back. During dinner our server mentioned to us 6 lions were out back in the darkness if we wanted to see them. It was pretty cool. Noel was great and we will ask for him again since we will be going back. Feel comfortable booking with Tanzania Comfort Safaris. You can’t go wrong!

Amazing! Fantastic attention to detail!
We had a fantastic trip with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Every detail was thought of and they answered every question we had, from logistics to animals. Have and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that wants to do a safari in beautiful Tanzania.

Tanzania Choice Safaris is the perfect choice!
Our safari in early September was a fantastic experience. Working with Brenda at TCS to create our 8 day safari was easy and efficient. The trip was organized and seamless.
We can’t say enough about our guide Noel. He was charming, kind, attentive and had an amazing eagle eye which gave us the opportunity to view so many animals. His knowledge of the animal behaviors and individual habitats was vast and very informative. Noel’s respect for the Serengeti’s role in the preservation of wild game animals was heartwarming. In short he made this trip amazing for us.
We saw lions (every day in fact) in their various daily behaviors, cheetah, leopard and wildebeests migrating over the Mara River to enjoy better grazing opportunities. Of course there were plenty of elephants, giraffe, warthogs, zebras and hyenas. The many varieties of birds were either looking pretty or engaging in their role in the Serengeti ecosystem…think vultures. We were pleasantly surprised to find many species in this park un-fazed by humans and vehicles which allowed an up close and personal observation. Over generations they’ve realized that we don’t pose a threat…
We chose luxury accommodations and thought 3 of the 4 locations were top notch. The outlier was possibly located in an area with limited choices. This was our first experience in tented lodges and they were a gigantic step up from our many personal tent camping outings. The service at the lodges varied a bit but were mostly really good. Meals had a larger variance between the lodges, some were terrific and others ok. Daily lunch boxes taken on game drive days were basic but repetitive. In any case the attempt to accommodate western eating habits was appreciated.
Enjoy a safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris, you won’t be disappointed.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Our family of four with two teenage boys just finished an 8 day safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris. They were recommended by a friend who has been on many safaris in multiple locales. Brenda was extremely helpful and responsive from the point of initial contact, putting together a sample itinerary based on our profile and needs, all the way through to completing our bookings with lots of adjustments along the way. Leslie was our guide and we can't say enough good things about him. He is extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help us see things we may not have otherwise seen. By the end of our trip, Leslie felt like an extension of our family. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, you can't go wrong with Tanzania Choice. As others have stated, there are 1000+ outfitters. Some are good, and some are not so good. You will be in great hands with the Tanzania Choice crew. For us, it was truly the trip of a lifetime.

We had an incredible experience
Our family recently completed a 9 day safari with Tanzania Choice. We had an incredible experience and Tanzania Choice was excellent. The pre- safari planning communications went really well as Brenda was responsive, timely, reliable and able to answer all of our questions. She helped us figure what we wanted to do and how we wanted to it while taking into consideration our kids, cost and timing. We developed a customized plan that really paid off later when we were on the ground in Tanzania. Noel was our guide and he did an incredible job. He was kind, funny and an amazing teacher- we learned so much from him about the animals and their relationship to each other. He was tireless in his efforts to locate the animals we wanted to see, always maintained his professionalism and generally worked extremely hard for us the entire safari. The final part of our safari was a day hike on Kilimanjaro and our mountain guide, Michael, similarly did an excellent job sharing his experience and knowledge while getting us to our goal for the day. Overall, we could not be happier with Tanzania Choice and our experience, and give them our highest recommendation.

Tanzania Choice was amazing from start to finish! Brenda, Kakasii, Leslie and Kelly are top notch!!
I am an experienced traveler and this was my third safari in Africa. Our safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris was - as others have said - a once in a lifetime experience. Brenda designed an amazing four day safari based on input from us. During those four days - we saw a huge variety of animals in three very different parks - each displaying the unique landscapes and beauty of Tanzania. Our guide, Leslie, was incredible. He often had other safari guides following him as he was nearly always the first to spot a lion, elephant, or leopard. He got us close enough to observe these beautiful animals for some time and of course to take photos and videos. Anyone wanting to experience Tanzania and Africa at its best should look no further than Tanzania Choice Safaris!

Excellent safari guide with wonderful hospitality
Our safari experience with Tanzania Choice was excellent. In the planning phase Brenda was very thorough and attentive to our needs including helping us adjust and reassure when we had to change flights and accommodations. Kakasii met us at the airport to make sure all was well prior to setting off. Noel was our guide for the week and was amazing showing us countless birds and animals including everything we hoped to see and the Big Five twice over. He also had extensive knowledge of the geology, habitat, and specific knowledge of many of the species we saw which really enhanced the experience. When our return flight got delayed Kakasii and Brenda personally saw that we found a nice hotel to relax and helped us get to the airport on time. My kids (7, 9, 11) and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would love to do it again. Highly recommend!

Great experience met all our expectations and exceeded many
We didn’t have a lot of prior safari experience going into this trip and we traveled with a toddler - from the very beginning, Brenda helped us design an itinerary that fit our needs and we felt well prepared.
We had a great safari with our guide, Victor, who was very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and experienced. He was flexible with our safari experience each day and showed us so many animals and birds - it was unforgettable.
The lodging in Tarangire National Park was unique and really special. We heard lions outside each night! The hospitality, customer service, and food at each location exceeded expectations.
Overall, I highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safari.

Noel (and his brother Lee) is very personable, knowledgeable, and resourceful person.
We did safaris in Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. The accommodations were superb, especially our time camping at Kati Kati. These guys knew where to go to see wildlife and they knew a lot about the natural history of the areas we visited. They took very good care of our group. Their resourcefulness shined when we experienced a pretty major mechanical failure coming out of Ngorongoro: the drive shaft broke on our brand new Land Rover! Noel kept us safe and he and Lee fixed the issue right there on the spot. Within less than an hour we back on the road and arrived safely at the beautiful Farm of Dreams Lodge. This company and its people get 15 stars from me!

Friendly, responsible,professional and knowledgeable.
We had very close encounters with a lot of animals. Our guide,Noel,knew where to go to find the animals. He also knew how the animals were going to act and gave them space to roam freely. If he had not done this we would not have had animals that were touching the vehicle. He was safety conscious when the weather conditions were not ideal and drove with everyone’s safety in mind. We not only got a safari but an African adventure.
