Thoughtfully customized tour with excellent guide
Brenda and our guide Leslie helped us create an amazingly memorable experience on our four day safari. I was referred to this company by a friend. From the moment we began planning this trip to well afterward, Brenda was patient and so helpful in making sure we had the best experience possible on our safari. We video chatted with her before finalizing our itinerary, to ensure that she planned a trip that would meet our needs. Once on the safari, she checked in on us to make sure everything was going well.
Our guide, Leslie, was incredibly skilled at spotting animals. Thanks to him, we saw all Big 5 animals in less than four days, which is kind of unheard of. Leslie even took us around in Arusha on our last day when we had a few hours to kill before our flight.
There are thousands of tour companies in Tanzania to plan safaris. We picked this one because it was small, family owned and operated and seemed to have a personalized touch. We were not disappointed!

Remarkable experience...outstanding in all respects! “Big Five in One Day,” among many others!
My wife, sister-in-law and I had a simply wonderful time with Tanzania Choice Safaris and had an amazing experience in all respects that exceeded our expectations; don’t hesitate, don’t worry, you will really enjoy this safari!
We started taking in the animals at Lake Manyara, spent the night at the Acacia Farm Lodge, another day at Ngorongoro Crater, then on to the Serengeti for two nights at the Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge, ending with several more hours touring before we left from Seronera airfield.
The excellent customer service began with Brenda carefully working with us to tailor our own flights, accommodations, parks and itinerary...she is a delight, thoughtful in planning, and very thorough; everything went precisely as it should have. Accommodations were excellent!
Our safari guide, Leslie, was an absolute joy to be around and singlehandedly ensured we had a truly wonderful experience. A real gentleman, he combined an excellent knowledge of the animals and the various parks, with a witty, funny manner and a clear desire to ensure our experience would be a personalized, one-of-a-kind, amazing tour. He answered our many questions, told stories and added amusing anecdotes along the way. He is an excellent driver who did a remarkable job navigating us around without need for maps or gps. Even better, he kept in constant contact on the radio with other guides and park rangers, which ensured we would see all the best stuff. This led to some amazing sights, but also to some hilarity, for example, when the elusive black rhino was discovered and rangers were trying to herd it back into its usual area.
Afterwards, as we were going through a book on East African animals, we realized that we had seen virtually all of those featured, along with many colorful and interesting birds. We feel blessed and humbled to have been able to revel in God’s amazing creation!
Thanks for such a marvelous time!

Exiting and relaxing
The safari tour we enjoy with Kakasii has been far beyond my expectations.
Our experience was exiting because we live fantastic meetings with nature, animals and people and it was relaxing because we had no problem at all, so we could fully enjoy every moment and every moment was special.

Kakasii you are the best! A very special experience with a very special guide!
Thank you Brenda and Kakasii! We had a great time in Moshi, Machame, Arusha, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We enjoyed every moment and not only the wonders of the best Tanzanian Parks. Besides your very competent work, we could really appreciate your warm and friendly approach.
That night in the tented camp is unforgettable! Ciao! Rita and Ferruccio
Great experience
I really enjoyed the time that Kakasii from Tanzania Choice Safaris served as out driver and guide. His work for us was excellent. He is a very knowledgable guide and a skilled driver. We couldn't have had a better person to take car of us.

Great customer service and support for a first-time international traveler!
Our trip to Tanzania was a long time coming because of my concerns about traveling internationally. But, being able to make our plans with Brenda at Tanzania Choice Safaris lessened those concerns immensely. Beyond arranging for four days of incredible safari adventure, she was able to explain everything from how to get our Visas at the Kilimanjaro airport to where to get the best exchange rate for US dollars. For this first time international traveler, even her explanations about some of the traditional foods were a great help. Brenda made a number of suggestions on activities for our time in Arusha after we finished our safaris, and even escorted us herself to visit the Shanga Workshop (employment opportunities for people with disabilities) and the Cultural Heritage Centre. Every part of our itinerary was geared to us specifically, not just a cookie-cutter plan used for every one. As a non-native Tanzanian, Brenda has absorbed the culture and tradition of Tanzania. Her love of the country and it's people shows in her efforts to give every one of their clients the chance to learn and experience the things she herself has. I would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to help you experience a once in a lifetime trip to a beautiful country.

Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater& Serengeti honeymoon safari.
Brenda and her team were so great about everything from start to finish. The itinerary that was made was perfect, and hit all of the things that we wanted to see. Once we arrived we had Leslie and Steve as guides, and they were so great! They took into consideration our favorite animals, and what we wanted to see to try and get us to the spots with the best chance of making it happen. You can't control nature, but we got very lucky with being able to see 2 rhinos, 2 leopards, and a river crossing! Can't forget about the pride of 24 lions! The accommodations were great also! You were really in with nature but it made it all seem so much more real. The jeep was comfortable, food was good, and was very happy there was so much water. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime and we were lucky that we got to do it for our honeymoon! Thank you so much Brenda and team!

Kili Climb and Wildlife Safari
We LOVED Tanzania Choice Safaris! When we first began contemplating our trip, we asked acquaintances who had recently returned from living in Arusha for advice. Without hesitation, they recommended Brenda and Kakasii with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Thank you Brenda and Kakasii for the work you did to arrange and organize our trip, for your advice and attention to detail, and for all the helpful information on your website. We loved our knowledgeable safari guide, Leslie, and there is no one better than Festo to take your daughter to the peak of Kilimanjaro and bring her back down safely. Everything was absolutely first rate!

Incredible Serengeti Experience!
My family of 5 with three young children had an absolutely amazing safari/game drive! We had high expectations and they were exceeded: it could not have gone better. Brenda planned the perfect trip based on our needs and budget. Our guide, Kakasii, was incredible....there is no better guide! He knows the park, had the perfect itinerary, was extremely flexible especially with the children, thoughtful, and has a delightful personality. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
