Attentive to ensuring we had a wonderful inclusive experience.
We used Tanzania Choice Safari for our 8 day vacation. There were 3 couples, which was the perfect size for a safari vehicle. We had a blend of 4 days safari, and what I would call community immersion. We attended church service in the community, visited hospitals, toured the shifting sands, gorge, and had time for some shopping. We chose a blend of lodges and a bush camp. The bush camp was my favorite place to stay. Most of our meals were included. We thoroughly enjoyed our driver. He was knowledgeable and asked us what we wanted and then delivered. I would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safari.

TCS is detail and relationship oriented.
This was our third Safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris and each one has surpassed the previous trip! Brenda is so helpful in scheduling what we want to include in our trips and also offers excellent suggestions to fill in the gaps. The safari guides are among the best - they found the animals and birds we hoped to see and are friendly and fun along the way! Each of our three safaris has been different and with different price points. TCS delivered what we asked and hoped for each time. I tell everyone I know that if they are planning a Tanzanian safari then TCS is the best tour operator to use!

An amazing, highly personalized experience!
This was our first safari, and it was absolutley incredible! We booked somewhat last-minute, but you'd never feel from the experience we had that the planning was rushed. Brenda was so wonderful to work with, listened to all of our wants and offered up great advice and suggestions. The lodges we stayed at felt so wonderful and special. And I can't say enough good things about Noel, our guide! He did such a great job at getting us to see everything and it felt like we always had the best position in any viewing group without being intrusive to any of the other vehicles. We even caught him helping out other drivers on several occasions!
I had such a great time and wouldn't change anything. I'd happily recommend Tanzania Choice to anyone!

Brenda is highly responsive, personable, attentive to details, professional and caring
I felt fully supported by Brenda through the entire trip from individual and group personal safety, health, comfort, reliability perspective which meant I was fully present and immersed in these astonishing daily safari, cultural, and recreational experiences without hesitation. That is a true gift! The same can be said for Leslie, our safari guide who is such a respectful, caring person who listens well to his clients requests, questions and has a wonderful sense of humor.Leslie has strong professional expertise in bird, animal sightings, bird and animal behavior, technical driving, navigation which surpasses majority of guides based on my conversations with theirs who have been on safari recently. In addition he is a highly proficient animal photographer and shared his fabulous photos with us through the tour.
I agree with previous reviews from early 2024 about quality of accommodations. I highly recommend the bush camp experience because of immersion in the full sensory experience of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti parks. Hearing distant animal calls, bird song, dark sky nights, sunsets is a unique lifetime experience.
Tarangire Simba Lodge pool, viewing deck at sunset with elephants, gazelle, wildebeest, many birds wandering past and drinking at the water hole was exceptional!
Seeing lots of animal babies of all species was a big thrill for all of our group. We learned and observed the full life and death circle from newborns nursing to vultures cleaning up a carcass, as well as the ecology of the bush and forest environments.
The cultural tour at Mtn wa Mbu was welcoming and an up -close visit with this community’s people, family and daily life, work, food and drink, play and crafts. As an individual tourist it is challenging to have a more authentic sense of Tanzanian culture without these types of group cultural exchanges which are respectful, relaxed, and personable.
This is a family owned and operated, locally staffed small company that truly shows great care and respect for their employees, clients, Tanzanian people, and natural environment. Tanzania Choice Safaris staff have combined experience with of many, many years and history in safari business and it shows!
This was a unique and very memorable trip for me in comparison to my other travel adventures.

Trip of a lifetime
My son and I spent 6 days on Safari in Taranguire National Park, Ngorogoro and Serengeti National Park. Our experience was just over the top amazing.. incredible experience of watching so much wildlife, way more than we had expected. Our guides, Leslie, was just wonderful. .knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and made sure we saw as much as possible. He was also quite knowledgeable about birds, which I appreciated.
The parks were so pristine seemed to be such havens for the wildlife.. just wonderful. Our accomodations were all very comfortable and interesting and the staff everywhere were so helpful and welcoming.
We were so glad we took the advice of friends and booked our tour with Tanzania Choice Safaris..

Great experience
TCS was incredible for both our climb and safari. Brenda was extremely communicative with our group from the time we booked our trip over a year ago, helping us feel well prepared for the climb. The entire crew of guides, cooks, porters on the climb were extremely welcoming and so helpful and supportive.
Noel was our guide for our safari extension after the climb and we had a great time relaxing after the climb. The accommodations were great and Noel was so knowledgeable. He found/identified every animal/bird and made our trek so fun.
Nothing but good things to say about TCS, would highly recommend them your climbing/safari excursions!

Excellent
Four day family trip to Arusha, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Olduvai Gorge. We had an absolutely wonderful time, our guide Noel was superb. Overall a 10/10 experience and worth every penny. Communication was outstanding, we followed our itinerary like clockwork. We have been on several safari trips and this was one of the best.

Our Safari by Tanzania Choice was wonderful!!!
On the recommendations of friends we booked our Tanzania safari with Tanzania Choice. This is a small company that has the personal touch vibe. The tour was well organized and a pleasure to experience. Our driver, Noel, was superb. Personable, professional and joy to hang out with! A true expert on navigating the reserves, locating the animals and at the same time we were always on schedule. All in all I would have no doubts about booking with Tanzania Choice next time.
