Absolutely life-changing experience with a top-notch company.
From the first day we were picked up, to the last day being dropped off, my experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris not only met, but exceeding every expectation I had. To start, the accommodations within the safari jeeps was very comfortable, with easy access to chargers so electronic devices were always able to be used. The seats themselves were very comfortable with ample window space to gaze out through. Leslie, our personal guide, was probably the best part of the entire experience. He was so friendly and knowledgeable and was able to engage everyone in our group on a personal level. He carried several field guides to be able to refer to when we saw an unfamiliar animal or wanted more in-depth information. He himself was like a walking encyclopedia, able to name almost every bird, reptile, and mammal by site alone. Leslie also went the extra mile by stopping the jeep to point out things like scat and different animal tracks, that made it feel like a more wild experience. The food throughout our four day safari was also a wonderful blessing. It was some what catered to Western diets, with an African flare. Water was available whenever needed, and the guides encouraged everyone to stay hydrated - which is easy to forget about when one is having so much fun. Finally, the lodges that were included in the safari were absolutely breathtaking. They rivaled any American hotel, with a postcard setting, and no matter the location, it was clear safety was always a number one priority. Overall, Tanzania Choice Safari is a top-notch company, which I will definitely book with again.

They were very experienced, professional, and fun!
There was clear communications with expectations and payment and Kakasii did a great job overseeing and coordinating our trip. Leslie was absolutely astounding and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We were so lucky and thankful to be with such a great company!

Mission 2019 to Tanzania - Our mission trip was outstanding! The service that we received was great!
The communication, service and knowledge was 100 percent by all the drivers! All the traveling we did with the drivers was very professional.
We plan to return to Tanzania (Mission 2021) in June 2021! On that trip, we will use Tanzania Choice Safaris!
Thank you Kakasii & Brenda Kimaro for all you did for our Team!
Sincerely,
John Burbage

This is a fantastic company!!! We loved Kakasi and Leslie - they are the VERY BEST & knowledgeable.
The entire safari was magical and fantastic. I was part of the Southwood Lutheran Church group and we were so blessed to have wonderful and caring drivers and the accommodations were wonderful. Leslie knew all the right places and also had so many references with him that he would use to show us pictures. He was also so caring for all of us, especially me, one of the Bibi's in the group!! I will be sure to recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to anyone that is planning a trip. I hope to come back again some day.

Special occasion for a trip made extra special
Tanzania Choice Safaris did an amazing job with a trip my nephew and I took to celebrate his high school graduation. From beginning to end, TCS was attentive and responsive. Brenda and Kakasii put together an itinerary that worked well with the time we had in country and our interests. We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti. Our guide, Leslie was knowledgeable, friendly, and great company. We had a wonderful time on our safari and have some lifetime memories thanks to Tanzania Choice Safaris!

Can't imagine a better safari experience!
From Brenda's expertise in planning an itinerary that met our desires, to a perfectly-executed trip packed with awesome highlights -- all delivered with family-style warmth -- Tanzania Choice Safaris (TCS) exceeded our expectations. Brenda's American background made it natural for her to understand what we would like even if it wasn't communicated overtly. On the safari, Kakasii's extensive knowledge and skills combined to provide a fantastic viewing experience. We also had some brief exposure to other TCS guides, and can say that this team's patience and kindness to others reflected the best values of human life. We enjoyed the flexibility of mixing bush camp accommodation with an occasional upscale lodge. Brenda and Kakasii met us at the airport and took us everywhere we had to go until delivery back at the airport for the next segment of our trip. This relieved all anxiety about travelling in various modes of transportation in a strange country, leading to a worry-free experience. Congratulations to Tanzania Choice Safari's -- you are the BEST!!

Tanzania Choice Safari FAR EXCEEDED my expectations! This truly was a trip of a lifetime!
I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had with Tanzania Choice Safaris! Kakasii and his team provided us with such care. They went above and beyond for our every need. We were fortunate enough to experience Tanzania from many aspects, and each experience brought a deeper understanding and love for the country, the people and the wildlife. This was a trip of a lifetime and exceeded all my expectations. I can't wait to return and to have Tanzania Choice Safaris take care of every detail, once again.

Perfect itinerary, fantastic tour guide driver, amazing trip!
Our friends had recommended Tanzania Choice Safaris to us when we first thought about doing a safari. We reached out to Brenda and Kakasii and were in touch with them over a year before our trip. They were so helpful and patient with planning out our itinerary, and with answering all our questions. Now that we’ve completed our safari, we can definitely say it was the perfect itinerary!
They arranged to have Joseph be our guide and we cannot say enough about Joseph. He is fantastic and was a perfect fit for us. His experience with the roads, his internal GPS, his knowledge of the animals, and his genuine, friendly and warm personality made our trip truly a trip of a lifetime. We think he must have better than 20/20 vision to be able to see the animals from so far away! And then he was able to give us front row seats to see all the animals and birds we wanted to see… and more! Joseph was more than our guide – he became a friend we will stay in touch with.
Two words we kept saying during our trip: Wow and Amazing! It really was an amazing trip! Thank you, Brenda, Kakasii and Joseph!!

Tanzania Choice Safaris exceeded our very high expectations of our dream vacation!
We are so grateful that we traveled with Tanzania Choice Safaris for our trip to Tanzania. From our first Skype call with Brenda, it was clear that developing a relationship with us and planning the perfect vacation for us was her goal. The detailed itineraries that we received were always perfectly tailored for us and updated as our plans changed. Through future conversations, we ended up booking both our time in Zanzibar and safari through Tanzania Choice Safaris. When we arrived, Brenda and Kakasii met with us for lunch so that we could discuss the trip in more detail and would not have to wait out the long layover at the airport. When we made it to Zanzibar, they ensured we were in good hands our guide, Khamis. The safari was a new adventure each day! We loved seeing the elephants and birds in Tarangire, the beautiful scenery and the animals including lions in trees in Lake Manyara, the cheetahs in Ndutu, the migrating animals between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, our day of lions and our Rhino spoptting in the Serengeti and our trip into the crater, especially the sunrise over the crater. It was an incredible, gorgeous expereince, all made possible by Brenda and Kakasii! All of our travels were expertly planned, our accommodations were ideal, and we did not have to worry about a thing throughout the two weeks we were in Tanzania.
