A knowledge, funny, skilled driver.
I had a day and a half of Safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris after about a week in Tanzania and it was the perfect conclusion to my trip to the country. We traveled to the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. I saw so much wildlife I had only previously dreamed of someday viewing. We had great accommodations at our stop for the night on Safari at Eileen’s Trees inn. Our guide was excellent at his job. My trip was short in comparison to most but it was still everything I could have wanted from the experience and it isn’t one that I will ever be forgetting. Thankful to have had this experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris.

Enriching experience made possible by our outstanding guides!
Our trip to Tarangire, Serengeti, Arusha, Moshi, and points inbetween was so well curated that we felt like royalty! Our group of 9 adults didn't have to worry about a thing over 10 days of travel to 6 different lodging locations! Our guides Kakasii and Momo were so knowledgeable about the animals' habits, traditional Maasai life, and how to navigate the crazy roads that we just had to show up on time, ask questions, and be ready to eat! Once we observed some of the other safari trucks out in the bush we realized just how engaging and skilled our guides were. I believe that each one of us formed bonds that we will never forget! You may only get to safari in Africa once in a lifetime and Tanzania Choice Safari will make sure that trip is as smooth and enchanting as you could hope for!

Humphrey was informative, thoughtful, and gifted guide to our group!
Tanzania Choice Safaris was a joy to work with! They worked with our limited budget and timeframe to give us an amazing two-day safari. They arranged all the details, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and provided an amazing experience to see the depth and beauty of the Tanzanian wildlife and landscape. Our guide was informative, flexible, and a great driver for our group!

Exceptional, well-organized experience with great guides!
We had an amazing experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris. The lodging and transportation all worked well. Our itinerary was perfect for the time of year. Guides Joseph and Edison were amazing - they knew exactly where to find the animals we wanted to see and made things fun. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for the whole family.

Amazing safari!
We had an amazing safari with Tanzania Choice Safari. Brenda made the planning process super painless and put together a perfect itinerary. She took care of everything!
Our safari guides, Edison and Joseph, were very knowledgeable, fun, and caring. They listened to what we wanted to see and made sure we enjoyed our trip. It was fun getting to know them as the week went on. The lodges Brenda picked were excellent! We could not have asked for a better trip!
Noel is a fun, efficient and knowledgeable guide, who ensured our safety and experience was perfect.
Our family group traveled from the US, to South Africa, then on to Tanzania through Nairobi. The planning of the trip in the months prior smartly planned a day or so buffer in case of travel delays. Planning with TCS took place over a few weeks with choices, timing and considering all the possible things we could consider doing. Brenda quickly adjusted our itinerary as needed before finalizing our trip. Wise suggestions since group was traveling from Safari in South Africa , she planned a rest time (day and half) in case of delays or need for down time. The down time was really needed to make the Serengeti and Crater very enjoyable.
The selection of lodges along the way were all very unique and lovely. Excellent hospitality and the food was great every where we stayed. We really liked all the places we stayed so much that when we come back we will plan multiple nights the lodges. Because of travel timing we stayed only one night at a few places which made it a bit hard to really relax. We really wanted to spend time watching the wildlife and take pictures, our guide was very patient with us. He was a careful driver, trying to make us all as comfortable as possible. We did spend a lot of time in the Rover and it was well worth it. My teenage son became ill with a respiratory virus in the middle of our time in the Serengeti. Our guide and the ladies at the Kabu Kabu Tented lodge were amazingly kind and helpful. Our guide helped get us to a doctor and stayed with us while my son was treated for a high fever. The Kabu Kabu ladies brought special meals and juice for my son and words of support for his Mom. We will never forget their kindness; we felt very well taken care of. (My son recovered just fine). We so many animals, and so many species, this trip far exceeded any of our wildest expectations.
We really enjoyed the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. One day or one and a half days is good for the crater. We spent 2.5 days in the Serengeti but could have easily done 3 days. Three days is a lot of time in the Land Rover, and may not be for everyone, but there is so much to take in. We also drove from Nairobi, which we won't repeat because it is just such a long time in a vehicle, rather we will fly into Arusha. Our family was a bit intimidated planning this trip but we felt very safe the whole time with our guide. For the time and cost to fly around the globe I would absolutely recommend TZ Choice Safari to get the most out of your time in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We felt the cost of our trip with TCF was really quite reasonable. We will be back.

Unforgettable and inspirational time
We worked with Tanzania choice to come up with an itinerary that would work for two adults and two children aged four and eight. They came up with a wonderful itinerary where we did several days of safari, followed by a trip to olduvai gorge and its amazing archaeology about the earliest humans, and then several days at a Maasai village. It was the perfect mix of activities and every place we stayed was more special than the prior one. We had a wonderful time learning about the history, politics, nature, and culture of that amazing country of Tanzania. And of course seeing the incredible beautiful animals in their habitat.
I would highly recommend working with Tanzania choice and supporting this amazing country
Brenda did an amazing job in preparing us for our journey. Trip was laid out well.
So much to know before you travel to Tanzania, but you will enjoy this safari with minimal preparation. Brenda gave us all of the information we needed prior to us leaving the US via video. The trip to the 3 national parks were well laid out, and the cultural day helped break the safaris into 2 parts. I do believe we should have been given some more education about how to "negotiate" prices of the items at the Maasai village, because we overspent what was necessary. Nevertheless, that visit to their village was awesome--it just cost me $150 more than it should have.
Our guide Noel was absolutely incredible, and did a great job educating us along the trip. Ashanti was also very good, but gave us less information and enjoyed taking his own photos. All in all, they exceeded our expectations and made the trip more enjoyable. The stay at Ngorongora Crater and in the Serengeti Camp was absolutely incredible. Get ready for some rough roads but you can manage. We never saw a single mosquito, but had a few run-ins with tsetse flies--nothing we couldn't handle. The memories of the trip, the people, the landscape, and the animals will never be forgotten.

Very knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining.
We received a detailed daily itinerary even before we arrived. Kakasii and Omo made us feel very special. We enjoyed all our travels in Tanzania and wonderful local restaurants. Of course a highlight would be the safari with all the wondeful closeup animals. Kakasii and Omo knew how to draw them out in the open.
We would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris for the very best Tanzania guides.

100% Recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris
We had the MOST INCREDIBLE time on our safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Not only did we see 4 of the big 5, leopards were hard to find, but we also got to go on a cultural walk and visit a coffee plantation. Our guide Leslie was outstanding and told us the history of Tanzania and about the animals. Our private tour was a once in a life time experience and we couldn't have asked for a better safari. Brenda is easy to work with and everything was coordinated seamlessly. I've already recommended them to my colleagues that are traveling to Tanzania soon.
