Amazing experience
Communications we're good. Arrangements were up to expectations. safaris were well coordinated. The accommodation in Arusha was not acceptable. Accommodation in Moshi was good but in an isolated location. Food choices in the restaurant were very limited

Spectacular safari and people
After just finishing our Kilimanjaro climb the trip to Tanzania could not get any better. Little did I know that the safari was going to blow all expectations out of the water. Within seconds of our first meeting with Kakasi, I knew things were going to be spectacular. He was patient, explained everything thoroughly and ensure we all felt comfortable before starting the journey. While on the safari, he took the time to ensure we all were getting what we wanted from the trip. No small detail was ever forgotten. As someone that had dietary restrictions, he and Brenda worked to plan all our meal ahead of time so that I always had food to eat and never felt like I had less options for food. Furthermore during our time in the bush, I learned the importance of taking things slowly and patiently from Kakasi because without that we would not have been able to see all the fantastic animals and experiences along the way. Our 6 day trip was full of such profound wonder, joy and laugher that I cannot thank Tanzania choice safari enough. Thank you Kakasi and Brenda!

A Beyond Magical Experience
Exploring the beautiful country of Tanzania with "Tanzania Choice Safaris" was the best experience of my life. It really did exceed my expectations - I still cannot believe how spectacular the trip was. From every lodge we stayed at to camping in the Serengeti to a Hot Air Balloon ride over a hippo pond, I could not have asked for a better experience. For a long time I dreamed of seeing the Big Five and others on a Safari, and I still look back and think, "Did that really happen?" The coordination and support leading up to the trip was outstanding. Brenda went above and beyond to help us with everything, even travel coordination outside the actual safari. Our tour guide was Kakasii, and we spent seven wonderful days exploring Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Mto wa Mbu (Mosquito River) with him. He even took us out dancing on our last night! Kakasii is someone that just brightens every minute of your day, and he knows exactly what he is doing when it comes to spotting game. He would always say, "Pole pole," and he was always right - we even saw a Black Rhino in the Serengeti. I honestly could not dream-up a better trip...I could go on-and-on talking about how wonderful it was. When I return to Tanzania, I will 110% use Tanzania Choice Safaris again. Not only was it a trip of a lifetime - I made friends for a lifetime.

Tanzania Choice Safaris serve fare that satisfies the mind, heart & soul with a global conscience.
From the first e-mail to the last personal farewell and all the laughter, education and family sharing sandwiched in between....Kakasii and Brenda planned a safari experience that had our party of ten filled each day but left us hungering for more. Thank you for loving and caring for all creatures (great & small) in beautiful Tanzania.

Vacation of a lifetime
We were actually first introduce to the Kimaro's through the TV show House Hunters International. I wrote down their names and 6 years later decided to call them up. It is the best decision we ever made. There is so much planning to arrange for a trip of this magnitude, and Brenda did a wonderful job of communicating what we needed to do, as well as devloping our itinerary. She is very organized and very detailed in her communications. We really didn't have any idea what to expect from the safari, but from day one when we met Kakasii at the airport we are felt we were great hands. Kakasii and Ezekiel our guides are such wonderful people, we felt like we were part of their family and always felt safe. The safari itself was incredible, day 1 we were 4 feet from a wild elephant eating in a field and 15 feet from lion cubs and its mother, it just got better from there. Through Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro crater, and the Serengeti, it was all amazing and very different. We were also taken to areas where the crowds were not as bad and both Kakasii and Ezekiel did a great job providing details about annimals, sites and Tanzanian culture. We also had the opportunity to experience Tanzanian culture by spending time at a Masai village and a day at Kakasii's family farm. What a wonderful experience that was, it still resenates in our hearts when we reflect back. Kakasii could also run for mayor, everyone seems to know him no matter where we went. Through this entire safari we were treated like family and felt loved, to the point where it was difficult to say our goodbyes at the end. We highly recommend Tanzanian Choice Safaris as your choice for a safari adventure. Thank you Brenda and Kakasii!

Our trip to the Serengeti was a once in a lifetime experience.
The communication, service, and adventure are just like you imagine for a great time. Accommodations are very comfortable and safe. The guide's knowledge and experience made the safari top notch. This is the best!

It was easily on of the highlights of my life.
Our service was first class from the immediate response to our inquiry, the timely communications leading up to our trip to the actually safari. Our guide was the perfect host. He went out of the way to make us comfortable and seemed to delight in showing us the beauty of his country. He made every effort to meet our specific interests and patiently allowed us to enjoy various animals up close in their natural habitat. The schedule laid out was perfect, the lodge was first class, and we saw every animal we hoped to as well as many more than we could have imagined. As my daughter said, 10 out of 10, we would recommend to a friend! Now that we have been so spoiled, I can't imagine going with anyone else.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
Our experience in Tanzania was wonderful! We were so kindly welcomed, and I never felt like “just a client” or that it was just a job for Brenda and Kakasii; instead, we were guests like good friends and family. I especially appreciated their kindness and how personal they made the experience for us. The entire trip I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. The safari was a great adventure with friendly and knowledgeable guides. Our hike up Kilimanjaro also included friendly and knowledgeable guides as well as a great team who all kept us healthy and happy as we hiked. I have no complaints as I enjoyed every bit of my experience in Tanzania!

Wonderful, very professional and helpful.
Tanzania Choice Safaris was more than expected. We enjoyed every minute. The communications was exceptional and very professional. We arrived a day early and was greeted with a wonderful restaurant and help finding a place to stay for the night. You went above and beyond and we appreciate it very much. The Safari was perfect, we saw many animals and the accommodations were excellent. Thank you.

I couldn't have done it without Tanzania Choice Safaris!
Everything from the Safari to the mountain climb, Tanzania Choice Safaris was excellent! The guides for the safari knew so much, they really taught us about the parks, the animals, and even the plants/trees. It was amazing! The guides for the climb were unreal too. I honestly don't think I would have made it to the top without Festo, our main guide. He was so encouraging not only for me but to our whole group..."Go Big Red!"
