Amazing! Fantastic attention to detail!
We had a fantastic trip with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Every detail was thought of and they answered every question we had, from logistics to animals. Have and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that wants to do a safari in beautiful Tanzania.

We saw almost everything possible!
Our guide was Noel, and he arrived punctually to pick us up. Once we were in the national park we immediately started seeing lots of wildlife. We only had three days to spare and he made sure we got our monies worth and more.
He was very patient with us, allowing plenty of time to watch the animals. While some people may not care a lot about the dikdiks, we saw 35 in about 1 1/2 hours the first afternoon. He delivered us to the safari camp and we had a good meal. When we were signing in animals were coming in to water just out back. During dinner our server mentioned to us 6 lions were out back in the darkness if we wanted to see them. It was pretty cool. Noel was great and we will ask for him again since we will be going back. Feel comfortable booking with Tanzania Comfort Safaris. You can’t go wrong!

Wonderful
From the moment I walked out of the terminal to when I was dropped off 8 days later, the service was amazing. Our tour guide Leslie was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to answer questions.

Tanzania Choice is my choice!
Leslie, our safari guide, was terrific. We managed to spot all of "the Big 5" between Tarangire and Ngorongoro Parks. And not only did we see lions, but we saw a male feasting on a kill, with his pride patiently waiting for him to finish so they could eat. We also saw 2 cheetas, ostriches, thousands of wildebeest and zebras, hippos, many birds, and so much more. Leslie was patient and provided answers to our many questions.

The best tour operator in the business!!
If you are looking for THE BEST safari experience, from the initial booking, the overall communication, to the selection of facilities and outstanding guides, look no further than Tanzania Choice Safaris. Brenda is a rockstar in the office - available in real time and extremely responsive - and Kakasii is by far the most personable, knowledgeable and gracious guide we have ever worked with. Services were valuable, reliable and memorable. No doubt the best in the business! Asante Sana!

So happy we booked with Tanzania Choice Safaris -- Brenda and Kakasii are amazing!
My husband, our two teens and I have been talking about visiting Tanzania since before the pandemic. I wasn't sure the trip would ever happen -- I wasn't sure where to start with the planning. I called one tour operator, but I felt like she didn't really understand our budget or what we were looking for. Then my husband and I spoke to Brenda at Tanzania Choice Safaris.
We immediately clicked with Brenda, and she put together a travel package that laid out everything -- ground transportation from Nairobi; three different national parks for safari; then transportation to Zanzibar. Plus lodging and guides for the entire trip. And it was all within our budget!
Brenda's husband, Kakasii, was our safari guide for the first half of our trip. We could not have asked for a more enthusiastic, experienced or professional guide. Kakasii's love for safari is contagious; it was his mission to get show us as many amazing animals as possible -- and he delivered. We saw the "big five" (lions, water buffalo, leopards, elephants and the elusive rhinos), but also giraffes, zebra, cheetahs, lion cubs, hyenas, crocodiles, gazelles, impalas, monkeys, baboons plus a giant pool of cranky hippos. Throughout it all, Kakasii entertained us with stories about growing up in Tanzania and about his adventures as a safari guide. Before our trip, I had wondered if six days were too many days to go on safari, but the answer was a definite no! We were so sad when our time with Kakasii on safari ended.
The second part of our trip was in Zanzibar, and Brenda also arranged that for us. Once again, we were so happy with the two hotels that Brenda had booked for us , and with Cholo, the local guide who Brenda connected us with. Some highlights of the Zanzibar trip were the walking tour of Stone Town, swimming with dolphins and just relaxing on the beach and eating seafood. It was a perfect way to wind up our two weeks in Tanzania.
Throughout the entire trip, I kept saying how happy I was to have connected with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Brenda and Kakasii are consummate professionals who also happen to be really lovely people. (We were able to have lunch with them the day after we arrived in town.) I appreciate that they travel with their own kids, and so they have first-hand experience with what teens and younger kids like. The lodges Brenda booked for us were, without exception, wonderful. And, mid-trip, when we wanted to add a visit to Oldupai Gorge (a paleoanthropological site), that was not a problem at all. Overall, I cannot recommend Tanzania Choice highly enough!

Trip of a lifetime!
My husband and I went on a 7 day trip with Tanzania Choice Safari for our honeymoon and it was the trip of a lifetime! Brenda did an incredible job planning our itinerary and making sure all of our requests & needs were met, she was an absolute pleasure to work with!
Leslie was our guide for the week and he was amazing!! I highly recommend requesting Leslie if you’re able to. He is extremely knowledgeable & passionate about both the animals and the parks, which enabled us to see every animal we dreamed of seeing (except rhinos!) and learn so much about them. Leslie’s love for his job and the people & wildlife in this country was tangible, having him as our guide made for such a memorable Safari experience! I cannot recommend Tanzania Choice Safari highly enough!!!

Incredible organizers superb guide
Tanzania Choice safaris were amazing.
We went up to Serengeti with them , both central and up to the Mara river and Zanzibar afterwards. Their selection of itinerary and places to stay as well as communication was absolutely perfect
They organized everything including the internal air tickets so we were completely taken care of the whole way . They even handled an error from another company which resulted in a problem with another part of our holiday and saved the whole vacation.
They got us an incredible guide , Leslie who made sure we found an incredible range of animals (all the big 5, hyenas , cheetahs , wildebeest , zebras, hippos , nine species of antelope, several species of birds and a relaxed easy holiday
Recommend them wholeheartedly!

He was knowledgeable about the terrain/wildlife and he was very charismatic.
During this trip we had a group of seven people which meant we had two vehicles and two tour guides. Our group spent time switching vehicles so we could hang out with everyone in our group. The tour guys were very knowledgeable about the area and they both knew many cultural facts about that part of Tanzania. The tour guides were also very knowledgeable about the wildlife and had a specialty in identifying wild birds. This was great because we had a handful of birders in our group. I would happily pick them again to go on a safari with. And they also made really good coffee during one of our breaks. It was a great trip. Many thanks to Tanzania Choice Safaris!

Phenomenal Experience!
Our safari was so well planned by Brenda and the staff! Our experience started with a clear itinerary & planning resources so that we knew exactly what to expect. Our driver, Leslie, was very kind and extremely knowledgeable. He provided helpful information, was very engaging and entertaining. Our group really enjoyed spending time with him.
Our accommodations were excellent. Our vehicle was really comfortable and Leslie drove in a way that I always felt safe and secure.
I felt like the safari experience was everything we expected and a lot more at a reasonable price.
I would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to anyone! We thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience.
