Leslie was wonderful. Great to get along with and very knowledgeable.
It was a spectacular trip, better than expected. Would highly recommend to anyone. Saw lots of animals every day. Loved the overall education about the animals and the safari.
Great selection of rooms as well.
You won’t be disappointed!

Tanzania Choice Safaris was an excellent experience from the beginning to end!
We have recently returned home and are savoring the wonderful safari experience we had in Tanzania. Brenda did a great job of putting together our safari. Always professional, she was there to answer any questions we had before and during our safari. I can’t begin to say enough about our guide, Noel! His knowledge of the Parks and the animals was incredible. He made the trip not only exciting but educational! From the time Noel picked us up at the airport until we said our good byes eight days later he was always thoughtful and accommodating. Although this was a trip of a life time, if we every return we will definitely use Tanzania Choice Safari!

Extremely helpful - and patient with all our questions
This was a trip of a lifetime! I will add that the touring company is a key component of that. Our guides were experienced and highly knowledge of the wildlife, as well as the history of the area - and knew their way around. Our route started in the north by the Mara River for the Wildebeest crossing - then central Serengeti - then to Ngorongoro crater. We saw all the big five, 2 leopards, and 41 lions. We were unable to find a cheetah - but saw some smaller cats (can’t remember the name). Africa is a beautiful place and you will be very pleased with Tanzania Choice and the experience of their guides. Other helpful hints - bring binoculars and an animal guide book. The guides have them but much easier to have your own.
Leslie is the most Amazing, talented, hospitable, personable, knowledgeable guide - request again!
Brenda is absolutely a Gem. We communicated often as there were lots of moving parts for this trip. We first went to Zanzibar. We had the beach experience on the beach with a beach bun-aglow on the Indian Ocean. Then, we moved to Stone Town. We planned several excursions while we were there. The guide, UmCha and drivers were the absolute BEST. After a week there, we flew to mainland Tanzania. We started our Safari at Ngorongoro Crater. It is one of the most beautiful sites that you will ever see. We actually saw the Big 5 within 24 hours--I know, Leslie says this almost never happens. We continued our journey to central Serengeti and stayed there at a Bush camp. The set up is actually pretty nice. We continued to go on our amazing drives. After a couple days there, we continued on to northern Serengeti and drove right into observing the "Great Migration"...we saw the crossing a couple of times while we were there. One morning, we went on an unforgettable hot air ballon ride and saw the sun rise over the Serengeti. An unforgettable experience--every person that I have shared this with wants the exact same journey.
Lesley is a great spotter of wildlife and was very engaging.
what a nice brief but comprehensive 2 day safari with a knowledgeable guide

Unforgettable memories.
Our experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris was truly outstanding from start to finish. The organization and attention to detail made the entire journey through Tanzania seamless and unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, every aspect of the safari was well-coordinated, and the team ensured we were comfortable and well-informed. The accommodations were top-notch, and the itinerary was perfectly crafted to maximize wildlife viewing opportunities while also allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the landscapes and local culture. The company’s focus on sustainability and respect for nature was evident throughout the trip.
The highlight of our safari was undoubtedly our guide, Noel. His deep knowledge of the region, wildlife, and ecosystems was remarkable. Not only did he have an exceptional ability to track and spot animals, but his passion for conservation and knowledge made each moment special. Noel went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, always ensuring we were comfortable and engaged. His warmth, professionalism, and expertise added immense value to the trip, making it an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris and Noel for anyone seeking an authentic and exceptional safari experience.

Organized
Tanzania Choice came with high ratings from people in our family. They lived up to the expectations. We dealt with Brenda who made a complex set of reservations come together wonderfully.

Leslie was incredible & literally went the extra mile to see the best animal sightings possible!
We highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris. We were referred by an acquaintance who lives in Tanzania so we felt very comfortable using them. Brenda is easy to work with and she provides a lot of information up front so you know what you need and what to expect. Brenda was also very helpful in assisting us so we could seek reimbursement after two unfortunate airline delays. The bandanas/gators on her packing list came in handy for the dusty roads.
We chose the middle accommodations package and were more than pleased with our cabins and tents which all had full private bathrooms, bottled water, mosquito netting, means of communicating with staff and a comfortable bed. The grounds were all in beautiful settings. The meals provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner were quite good. The background noise of animals at night was pretty cool.
Our guide Leslie was absolutely fantastic. Every day he searched endlessly to make sure that we saw as many of our favorite animals as possible. He found a leopard in a tree for us, a mother leopard with her cub, two cheetah sightings (one with cubs), lions with tiny cubs and lots of other male groupings. We got to see two incredible wildebeest river crossings, in addition to many elephants, giraffes, zebras, a variety of antelopes, buffaloes, birds of all kinds, hippos, baboons, monkeys, hyenas, mongoose, jackals, crocodiles etc. We did a walking safari in Tarangire National Park that was a lot of fun. Make sure to wear high boots to your knees like the rangers do. Ngorongoro Crater was beautiful and the Serengeti was like living The Lion King.😊 This trip was a dream come true and we hope to return with our children. We would definitely use Tanzania Choice Safaris again and hopefully Leslie will still be there because he made the trip really special.

The experience I had with Choice Safaris was so much better than my expectations
The trip was organized and planned with our interests and comfort in mind. There was COLD water in the land cruiser and breaks were timed near bathrooms. The vehicle was as comfortable as is possible on rough roads. (It helped that Noel was also a good driver ).Noel was the best guide we had throughout our whole trip in Kenya and Tanzania and Zanzibar. He was a wealth of information on birds, animals, geology and culture. Lodging was the best with great food. No one will be disappointed if going with this company. They were also very receptive to our wishes and were always on time.

Kakasi is so experienced, no viewing opportunity was missed in the NP and Crater.
Tanzania Choice Safaris took care of absolutely every detail of our trip in Africa. Kakasi (the owner) was our driver, and with 25 years of guiding experience we were rewarded with seeing not only the big 5, but also many, many more animals on the open savannas of Tarangire National Park, and in the Ngorongoro Crater. Our first adventure however was to hike the first 9 km of Kilimanjaro, and to finish the trip we spent 5 days on the beaches of the India Ocean on Zanzibar. Our villa had a private swimming pool. Tanzania Choice Safaris hit the ball waaayy out of the park on arranging the perfect Africa vacation. Brenda responded to every question prior to and during our trip immediately as well as providing invaluable information in the planning of our trip. Tanzania Choice Safaris will take the worry out of your Africa trip as well as an amazing success on all levels.
