Victoria Falls was spectacular!
Overall rating
5/5

We spent 2 days Victoria Falls after a 12-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania. It was a nice change from the more rural park settings. Zimbabwe was clean and the scenery was spectacular. We had dinner on a Zambezi River Cruise while we were there. The food was well prepared, and the service was great. Our guide for the tour of Victoria Falls was so friendly and knowlegeable; we really enjoyed our visit. The 12-minute helicopter ride was just the right amount of time to take in all the views of both the Zambia and Zimbabwe sides of the falls. We had lunch at the overlook cafe. The food was local and delicious, and our server was so sweet and helpful. The views at the cafe really helped round out our visit. We enjoyed watching the elephants meandering around as we drove down the main road.

Ngorongoro is a very stunning place. Serengeti needs more than one day.
Lake Manyara is a good surprise.
And the Tarangire's Baobab worth the trip! Zanzibar can divide you...

It was a great experience. I did a 7-day safari on a budget. The accommodations were a positive surprise. The guide/driver was very friendly and gave us the best views of the animals.

Exceeded expectations with their flexibility, customer-first approach, and seamless delivery
5/5

I chose the 5-day safari option covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. From the start, George emphasized the flexibility of the itinerary, basically if it's possible by the laws of physics and within your interest, they’ll make it happen. I requested a detour to Kogatende for a chance at the wildebeest river crossing and a visit to the Hadzabe tribe—both experiences were incredibly rewarding and highly recommended if you’ve already seen the wildlife you’re after.

George was always attentive and accommodating, and the trip was flawlessly organized. Now, the unsung hero of any safari—the guide! Tony made all the difference. Without any unnecessary chatter or showmanship, he stayed laser-focused on finding wildlife. He shared fascinating animal facts when prompted but spent most of his time scanning the horizon, determined to deliver great sightings. He catered to our requests, whether it was waking up early, driving for hours, or simply keeping a sharp eye on the terrain he knew like the back of his hand. Even in the final hours of our trip, deep in the Serengeti, he spotted what turned out to be three massive male lions engaging with a large buffalo herd from an incredible distance, just as we were hoping for a "beautiful big male lion."

Tony never rushed us, kept the atmosphere relaxed, and by the end of the trip, it was genuinely bittersweet to say goodbye. I can't thank him and George enough for making my first safari such an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend them if you want a safari that feels personal and well-crafted.

Disclaimer: They will do everything they can to help you spot the animals you want, but the magic of the wild is unpredictable, and luck always plays a part!

Unforgettable memories.
5/5

Our experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris was truly outstanding from start to finish. The organization and attention to detail made the entire journey through Tanzania seamless and unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, every aspect of the safari was well-coordinated, and the team ensured we were comfortable and well-informed. The accommodations were top-notch, and the itinerary was perfectly crafted to maximize wildlife viewing opportunities while also allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the landscapes and local culture. The company’s focus on sustainability and respect for nature was evident throughout the trip.

The highlight of our safari was undoubtedly our guide, Noel. His deep knowledge of the region, wildlife, and ecosystems was remarkable. Not only did he have an exceptional ability to track and spot animals, but his passion for conservation and knowledge made each moment special. Noel went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, always ensuring we were comfortable and engaged. His warmth, professionalism, and expertise added immense value to the trip, making it an unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris and Noel for anyone seeking an authentic and exceptional safari experience.

5/5

The tour was very nice. They keep time. And the driver tried to find various animals. We saw Big Five except rhino. That satisfied us very much. Also, the chef cooked nice foods. The amount of foods was suitable, and the taste was nice. He served food punctually.
They provided us wonderful experience. I will recommend this tour company to my friends.

Green Planet Safaris provides the best local knowledge to give the ultimate safari experience
5/5

My husband and I have travelled with Green Planet Safaris several times both as hosts of a group and as a couple. Each trip has been wonderful. Felix and his staff are great at organising an outstanding trip handling bookings and payments seamlessly. They are also really good at dealing with any problems that may arise from events outside their control such as delayed flights and lost luggage. We have travelled with Green Planet Safaris to Kogatende (for the crossing of the Mara River), to northern, southern, eastern and western Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Arusha and Ruaha. Even though Ruaha is remote, the trip planning was exemplary and Felix was superb at dealing with the unexpected little things that are an inevitable part of travel to remote areas. We have been to Tanzania in the rainy season and in the dry. When it's wet getting bogged is almost inevitable, but not a problem as Felix and his drivers carry appropriate equipment and know how to use it to get underway again safely. Felix and the Green Planet Safari drivers are safe on the roads, knowledgeable about routes and knowledgeable about their vehicles which are well-maintained. They understand how to navigate the administrative systems of Tanzania's beautiful parks to give visitors the best experience.

Most important for the visitor, Felix and the Green Planet Safari drivers understand wildlife and know how to find animals. They know the names and habits of the animals, birds and plants in the Tanzanian bush. They also understand photographers and intuitively know how to position their vehicles to give visitors the best light and the best view while being respectful of other vehicles. Non-photographers enjoy this too. On several occasions, Felix and Davis have located cheetah and that enabled us to photograph cheetah hunts. We have been fortunate to see spectacular crossings at the Mara river and have sat with lion prides around recent kills. They have found us all the common animals that visitors hope to see as well as other, more elusive creatures such as serval, caracal and leopard.

I heartily recommend Tanzania and Green Planet Safaris for your next wildlife safari.
