Custom Safari Trip for our limited time
We were in Tanzania for work and were looking for a bespoke safari experience for a just short 2 day period. A friend recommended Tanzania Choice Safaris. A short email to Brenda resulted in a quick reply with an entire custom schedule! The payment and arrangements were timely and flawless.
Upon arrival, we were met by our guides, Kakasii and Noel, who immediately took us on safari. Due to severe rains, our truck got stuck in the mud on the first night. Kakasii and Noel, aware that we only had the next day, got up at 3 am to dig the car out of the mud! This dedication to our experience was very much appreciated. We saw many animals based on Kakasii's deep knowledge and experience in this region.
I highly recommend this safari team, and in fact, will use them for my friends, family, and colleagues in the near future!

Excellent, personal service!
From the first email and Skype call, Brenda at Tanzania Choice Safaris made every aspect of planning easy. Our itinerary included meeting up with our son in a remote area and she made it happen seamlessly.

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.

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 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.

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!!

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!

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.

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
