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

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.

Kakasi and his staff commandeered 26 Americans on a fun-filled safari experience!
Our group leaders received detailed guidance from Brenda throughout the planning stages and start of the excursion. Brenda and Kakasi are able to fulfill the needs of Americans to be structured and on time, even in the context of African time (typically "late.") Kakasi provided an extremely fun environment for our entire group, which ranged in age from 17 to 60s. He remained flexible with our plans while on the tour, helped us deal with sick members of our group, and even got up in the middle of the night to deal with some nervous teens! Through work I've done in Tanzania, I know the stellar reputation of Tanzania Choice Safaris and would recommend them to all of my family and friends. Thank you for a tremendous experience that I hope to experience again in the future.

Tanzania Choice Safaris provided a great experience to see the beauty of Tanzania.
They provided top of the line communications and services. I was blow away by their attention to detail and care they took in all parts of the trip. We were a large group, roughly 30 people, and they managed our size great. Each guide was beyond knowledgeable about the places we went and things we saw. I can not recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris enough.

The best vacation trip of our lives.
The entire experience, from the planning to the safari itself, was outstanding and well beyond our expectations. Prior to the trip, Brenda was always available to discuss options and to provide answers to all the questions we had. We felt very well prepared and were glad we could customize the trip and do exactly what we wanted to do. We were not limited to pre-packaged itinerary. The trip itself was spectacular, for which most of the credit goes to Leslie, our wonderful guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, helpful, kind, easy going and fun to be with. Also, his eyesight was unbelievable. Each of the parks - Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire - was special in its own way. We saw an amazing assortment of animals and birds, often so close-up we could have touched them. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean and the staffs were friendly and helpful; we never felt like we were "roughing it." All in all a first class trip that we will never forget.
