FANTASTIC - start to finish, planning excellent, Guide Noel AWESOME, accomodations very comfortable
I recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris highly. Our trip was wonderful and our guide, Noel superb. Our group of 6 was handled carefully and safely the entire trip from airport back to airport hotel the night before departure. I can not give enough praise for our guide, good driver, knowledgeable, worked hard to keep us comfortable (rough roads, few/no restrooms), great job making daily schedules and departure time plans, quick to locate wildlife and quick to stop when we spotted wildlife, patient with our desire see every possible animal. Our favorite lodge Kubu Kubu tented lodge in the Serengeti. If you want expert advice to plan to your trip and a feeling of safety your entire trip - these are the folks to contact for a worry free and fun safari trip.

Wonderful experience, great guide
Communication and planning were top notch - we were contacted by our guide, Humphrey, before we were due to depart and were provided our guides details in advance too.
Humphrey was at our meeting spot in advance of our arrival and had us loaded up and on the road in short order.
We arrived at the park around 8am from Arusha and had a wonderful day day - we think we were incredibly lucky with what we saw during the day - lions, elephants, zebra, impala, ostriches, wilderness, vultures (feeding and flying!), dikdik, waterbuck, and buffalo, to name a few.
Humphrey has amazing eyes and pointed us to lilac breasted roller birds and tiny rock hyrax, and two types of mongoose. How he spotted these for us is beyond belief.
The day Humphrey planned for us had us at the quiet spots for lunch and not on top of other safari trucks.
The packed lunch was delicious, and not all the same so we could swap to meet our preferences.
Over all a wonderful day and we know how lucky we are - to any anyone reading this, we wish you the same fabulous sightings and experience we had.

Tanzania adventure with Victor the African Animal Whisperer, Amazing!al
TANZANIA Choice Safaris provided us with an amazing guide, accomodations that exceeded our expectations, yet added to our adventure, and a trip we will never forget. Our stories have overwhelmed our friends as we shared our stories and photos. The excitement, the beauty, overwhelming vistas, animals behaving as nature intended, and hundreds of photos to keep the memories alive. The family time was well spent sharing feelings, emotions, learning, and appreciation of life in Africa. Learning about the people of Africa as well as the animals put the everything in perspective. Each tour added to the respect of the animals and the people that live day to day with them. Victor, our guide, driver, never ceased to amaze us. His knowledge, driving capabilities, and absolute love of his job was always apparent. Thank you BRENDA AND STAFF for making our trip such a memorable event in our lives. Highly recommend the Hot Air Balloon Adventure over the Serengetti, a 5 star event. We loved it!

Very kind drivers and tour guides!
We booked a 5 day trip in Zanzibar with this group and it was lots of fun! Hotels were nice and people were nicer. Was an amazing experience and want to go back. Hope to use Tanzania Choice Safaris another time in the future. They worked very well with our budget.

Incredible experience. Top notch service. Highly recommend TCS to anyone considering a safari trip!
TCS made the trip about as easy as it could be for westerners who have never travelled to Africa. We were met by friendly, english speaking, knowledgeable staff at every stop who guided us along safely and efficiently. That alone would be enough to recommend TCS to others, but there is much more to praise them for. Our main guide Victor was a delightful man whose knowledge of flora and fauna, culture and history was matched only by his enthusiasm and passion for his work. He seemed to have an innate ability to find all the animals we wanted to see up close.
He was constantly gathering intel on animal locations from other guides we would pass on the trails or on his CB radio and his diligence paid off time and tim again. Prides of Lions, herds of elephants, zebras, wildebeasts, zebras, baboons, giraffe, water buffalo, impalas, hippos, flamingos in some of the most beautiful natural settings I have ever laid eyes on. Pretty much everything there is to see, Victor made sure we saw it and we were never rushed. It was absolutely incredible. The accomodations along the way were wonderful and we always felt welcome by friendly staff no matter where we stayed. They even tracked down and returned a few items our kids left behind and had them forwarded to us by other team members who were a day behind us with another group. We couldn't have asked for more.

Kakasi always went the extra mile to provide the best experience possible.
Tanzania Choice Safaris was a delight from beginning to end. In the pre-trip days, their communications, including answering questions and providing information, was always excellent. Brenda was diligent in providing the best accommodations, travel arrangements, help with the visa, and anything else that we needed. We were met at the airport, and taken around by Kakasi, until he dropped us back at the airport for our home trip. His abilities to find animals in the Serengeti are amazing, including a mother Cheetah and her twin babies. We were never worried about anything. He kept the vehicle spotless, our water supply filled and cold, and was full of information and fun as we travelled. I would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris, and would not hesitate at all to travel with them again. 100% delightful.

Amazing Personalized Family Safari with wonderful travel support
We booked with Tanzania Choice Safaris after looking thru multiple recommended safari companies from different sources. What set them apart for me during my research was a few things: 1st I loved that they are Tanzanian based so able to put the money spent into the hands of Tanzanian people, 2nd they offer a wide range of budget options as well as the option to add more cultural experiences, and finally so important from the moment I reached out to inquire with them, Brenda was 100% responsive in a timely manner and always gracious and helpful!
We had a wonderful experience, loved our guides (Noel and Elisante) and the places we visited.
From the moment we stepped out of the airport we had guides help navigate every step of the way. The staff at all of the lodges we stayed at were friendly and excellent. The Massai cultural tour was educational and great world view perspective. Our guides were knowledgeable, great at spotting animals and knowing where to take us, fun and great with kids. My kids are still talking about Noel and missing him now! The safari vehicles were well taken care of (we saw many others on the side of the road).
I would highly recommend Tanzania choice safaris based on budget friendliness with ability to splurge where you want (we loved the hot air balloon experience), their genuine customer service and A+ responsiveness throughout the entire process. It was truly a trip of a lifetime!

Top Notch
Kakasii & Brenda planned and executed our safari with excellence. Brenda communicated frequently and with helpul information from day one. Kakasii met us at the airport and gave us superb service for 10 days. He is jovial, expert and safety conscious. We had multiple unbelievable views of wildlife. This once in a lifetime experience was more than I had ever imagined. To see these beautiful creatures living their best life in Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti was lifechanging. I will be forever grateful to Brenda and Kakasii for providing this opportunity in this beautiful country. Our trip progressed without a hitch due to their comprehensive and friendly planning.

Spectacular
Brenda and Kakasii provided us with an amazing experience from beginning to end. Brenda's attention to detail on the administrative side is admirable. She provided so much quality information that we had very few unanswered questions. However, she was still quick, thorough, and patient to respond to any and all inquiries. We were so well informed and prepared coming into the trip. We were tired travelers when we first met Kakasii at the airport. His energy and enthusiasm boosted us on that first night until the very end of our trip. We traveled many miles together and his expert knowledge and driving made all the difference. He is committed to each and every one of his customers and ensures a high quality experience. I am deeply appreciative of his high standards, easy going attitude, and humor. Tanzania Choice Safaris is an excellent choice for a tour company and one that you will not regret.
