The tour operator/guides were exceptional!
Our trip was very memorable. We had unique cultural experiences and inspirational ventures into schools and safe houses. We met the people who were involved with the programs for young women and students, and had the opportunity to talk with some of the students and teachers. We experienced buying fabric in a market and having clothing made by a local seamstress. We danced with villagers and toured a Maasai village. Our lodging was very good....with wonderful service, and some places had pools which we took advantage of. All our meals were included--with lots of fresh fruit and local foods. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and open to questions. We went on safari at two different national parks. We had the amazing experience of seeing many animals close up. Kakasii and Brenda did exceptional planning and guiding of the sites in Tanzania. The value of the experience was much more than the very reasonable price!

Exception Animal Viewing
Tanzania Choice Safaris was an amazing option for our group. We were cared for from the moment we stepped out of the airport to the moment we left. Brenda and Kakasii listened and gave us an unforgettable experience. Leslie was informative and friendly. Kakasii was able to get us very close to the animals and was an excellent driver and host. I would absolutely recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris!

Our safari guide was so enthusiastic, so much fun, and clearly loves being a guide and a teacher!
Our safari could not have been better! Brenda was SO helpful in helping us plan and create everything we would want out of a safari! ! We loved our two lodges and their outstanding hospitality! Our safari guide was so knowledgeable about the animals and was so very eager to share that with us! Our two daughters and their husbands are going to Tanzania in March and we have requested that they have Leslie as their safari guide too!

Amazing experience, top-notch service
This is the second time that I have use this Safari company. They are absolutely outstanding. Brenda is an American who has settled in Tanzania, and is the main contact person for arranging your tours. She is extremely organized and booked all of our complex air travel, hotels, and park entries. I was able to customize the tour after several conversations with her. She is absolutely phenomenal.
There are several very seasoned Safari guides in this company. This time we had Leslie who was spectacular. We spent six days with him and he was completely appropriate, organized, and interested. He has a knack for finding the animals and for having us have a great experience. He had joy showing us unique animal experiences. He is always respectful and on time.
Overall, this is a fantastic company that you will be really happy with. It is the perfect size because you will know who the guides are and you have a main contact person who is available all the time.
Five stars!

Superb great migration and birding safaris led by knowledgeable TZ drivers.
Flew to remote Mara River camp to see the Great Migration crossover the crocodile invested Mara River into TZ twice. And saw great Rift Valley from air. Driver maneuvered us into unobstructed view of animals not only crossing but coming up the bank. Using radio communicating with other drivers, our TZ driver located many other animals in remote locations, a pride of lions resting on rocks and up/under trees after morning kills; a lone leopard, with extended belly full of very recent kill, within close site of vultures fighting and feeding off carcass. Drove to Oldupai Gorge and to site down in gorge with museum guide to see actual location Leakey’s found many key artifacts. Stayed overnight in authentic camp nestled within many Masai villages. Drove down into Ngorongoro crater to see many animals in natural habitat, including rare black rhinos, completing Big Five on this trip alone. Drove to Tarangire National Park to see baobab trees among elephant herds and many lions. Our TZ driver expert in animals, culture, life, geology and birds. Located over 50 different TZ birds for our Audubon knowledgeable birder. Stayed in Arusha and visited museum and Culture Center, one of best fine African art collections in world (live in Washington, DC) Having lived 3 years in TZ this is our 2nd trip with TZ Choice Safaris. We are planning our 3rd in 2024 with our family and friends.

Super spotter, knowledgeable, hard worker, helpful in everyway.
We had the best schedule and accommodations for animal sightings. We had flexibility if we needed to change the plan. For the most part we didn’t want to or didn’t need to. Our group was submerged in the Serengeti and surrounding areas to experience the most natural habitats and survival of all living things. It was awesome. Able to bring back a treasure of photos taken

Well-organized, great selection of parks and attractions, superb guide.
TCS organized a 6-day trip through four major wildlife parks/reserves in northern Tanzania for our extended family. The trip exceeded my expectations in almost every way. We had detailed pre-trip instructions, all transfers and reservations were handled without a hitch, the accommodations were comfortable and well-provisioned and the wildlife and scenery were spectacular. Our guide, Leslie, could not have been better: engaging, knowledgeable, articulate (excellent English) and superb at tracking down animals to view and photograph.

Leslie, the FUN and accommodating guide
We have been thrilled and in awe more than once with Tanzania Choice Safaris. This was a second booking because the first one was such an astounding experience. It is so worth it to have a private safari designed especially for your group.
On this trip, our first view of the wildebeest crossing the Mara River was thrilling. However, our guide knew there would be a more awesome view if we hung in there for a while longer. Oh my! He was so right. This is what makes a private tour better than a larger group booked through a tour company. With Tanzania Choice Safaris, our timetable was much more flexible. The guides spare no effort to make the safari experience extraordinary. Our lodging was great, the food was great, the locals were welcoming, and our guide tireless in making every aspect of our trip the pinnacle of success.
If you are "on the fence" about doing an African safari, get off and get going. It will be your trip of a lifetime.
