Tanzania Choice Safaris planned an excellent safari trip for us!
Tanzania Choice Safaris was a great choice to plan our safari in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorogoro Crater. Brenda in the office answered all of our many questions promptly and with patience. She is American so was able to communicate with us very well. She also was responsible for choosing and booking our lodges, and they were all excellent. Apparently she tests them herself before sending her clients, and she has good taste. We liked Mara Under Canvas especially, because the location was beautiful overlooking a valley and mountains across the way. But signature was also excellent and Rhotia Lodge was lovely, too, with their beautiful gardens. Our guides, Noel and Elisante, were great and very patient with us and the kids in our extended family group of 12. We saw all the “Big 5” plus more! The trucks have a pop-up top to get an unobstructed view but also can be closed to cut down on the dust. And a cooler to keep the snacks and water cool. TCS also helped us with a few other in-country bookings, like a day at Mount Kilimanjaro, a coffee plantation tour in Arusha, and transfers and flights to Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. The price was very reasonable at around $3k/person. This was my favorite vacation, and I wish I could do it again. I would choose TCS again, too.

Simply the Best
Tanzania Choice Safaris was simply the best, from start to finish. Brenda's communication, from scheduling to the conclusion, was unparalleled. We felt a high degree of trust and confidence in her. Additionally, Brenda's selections and recommendations for accommodations were perfect. Every place we stayed exceeded our expectations. Our safari guide, Noel, was extremely knowledgeable about Tanzania and all wildlife, and his driving skills were amazing on the "African massage" roads. Also, Noel went above and beyond on our final night in the Serengeti when he observed four lions take down a wildebeest after we had returned to our lodge. Noel could have easily let it be a missed opportunity for us. Instead, he returned to our lodge, alerted us, and took us to observe the circle of life in action. To top it off, Brenda and Kakasii met us at the airport the day we left to learn about our experience and confirm our safe and timely departure. We highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris for your next adventure! You'll be in good hands.

He was fun, knowledgeable and able to find the animals for a close up experience!
I would choose Tanzania Choice Safaris again! Their vehicles were clean and comfortable. Our tour operator was AMAZING! His English skills and knowledge of the area and animals was fantastic. We got much closer to lions and elephants than the other tour companies around us! I would HIGHLY recommend this company!

Tanzania Choice Safaris is excellent.
Tanzania Choice Safaris gave us a brilliant safari experience. Every single communication and interaction was extremely positive and, as a result, we had a completely trouble-free and genuinely joyous 8 days in Tanzania. Brenda was professional, friendly and patient in organising a perfect set of activities and accommodations for us at short notice, with plenty of options to choose from. On safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, with a fascinating side trip also to Olduvai Gorge, we were privileged to have the most excellent guide. Leslie is not only very knowledgeable about the habitats, fauna and flora, but also taught us a lot about Tanzanian culture, history and society. He is an exceptional human being who works so hard to be a master of all of the challenging aspects required to be a safari guide, and so we found ourselves going to bed each night feeling extremely lucky for yet another wonderful day (and in truly delightful lodges). All up, Tanzania Choice Safaris delivered for us day after day of excitement, joy of discovery, comfort and great food, and a deep sense of satisfaction that exceeded all of our expectations. We would not hesitate for a second to recommend them to everyone, and would most definitely turn to them again, should we be lucky enough to visit Tanzania again.

Great safari experience!
My group recently completed a safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Tanzania Choice Safaris. We were a group of 12 and had 2 guides, Noel and Elisante driving the group in 2 cars. We had such a wonderful time and our guides were the best. Our guides were on time, made sure everything was organized and were very knowledgeable about the animals and knew the Serengeti roads like the back of their hand. Brenda and team organized a wonderful safari that exceeded our expectations. When there was a last minute cancellation to one of our lodgings, Brenda was able to find a replacement quickly and adjust our trip details accordingly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Amazing safari experience
We had a group of 12 on a 4 day safari to Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater. Brenda gave us good advice on picking appropriate accommodations (which were all great). Our guides Noel and Alisante were fantastic and were able to find a lot of great wildlife for us to see. We have memories that will last a lifetime!

Great support and service
We had a great experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris. They arranged a great program and when we wanted to make some changes in the fly, they accommodated and made anything possible. When we encountered problems, (illness, traffic accident), they were there and had the personnel and resources to support us despite difficulties we encountered. They demonstrated their commitment to our enjoyment and our safety. We would definitely travel with them again.

I strongly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris
We got to know Brenda and her company "Tanzania Choice Safaris" through a friend's recommendation who had used their service several times in the past. We had very positive experience with them. Planning a trip to Africa is intimidating. But working with Brenda eased my anxiety. She guided us properly, I had enough but not overwhelmed by information/options. Our trip proved that we were well prepared. The only suggestion I have for Brenda is to emphasize the importance of binoculars, either equip it in your land cruiser or strongly recommend your customers to bring their own.
Our tour guide Leslie did wonderful job. He is friendly, very knowledgeable and he is a skillful driver. With his help we saw all big 5s and impressive wildebeest migration, which makes us very satisfied.
We travelled as family of 4, which is under the maximal compacity of 7 for land cruiser. But it is very comfortable especially when everyone is trying to stand up for a best view. We have chosen regular lodging outside national parks and luxury lodging inside national parks. The total cost of our 9 days/8 nights is $5200+/person which we felt is a good value.
