JUST FANTASTIC!
From initial trip planning, organization, seamless travel arrangements and an incredible guide this is one of the best travel experience I've had! Brenda was quick with adjustments, giving several lodging options, timely check in's before our arrival. Then once we landed we were greeted by Leslie, a safari guide extraordinare with his friendly smile, vast wildlife knowledge, perfect timing and driving skills in challenging conditions. I would recommend anyone to use Tanzania Choice to create and execute a trip of a lifetime. We will have memories for a lifetime!

Just amazing. the scenery, the amount and veriaty of wildlife, the closeness of the animals, the interactions between the animals, all unforgettable. it is not a surprise that you see footage from the Serengeti in almost every nature documentary. visiting this place actually is that special and beautiful.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Omar
Very nice forest scenery, good change with respect to the other parks. however, because of the dense forest, there is a little less wildlife easily visible than in the savannah biomes. still, lots of baboons, birds, elephants etc.

Amazing amount and variety of wildlife, unforgettable holiday destination
Unforgettable trip!
We (young couple) went on an amazing safari/beach combination holiday operated by african big cats safaris (abcs) and we would recommend it to anyone!
Pre-trip
Communication with abcs went very smoothly. We approached abcs only about 2 months before our desired travel dates through their website. This was no problem, and we got a prompt response. The package we were interested in was available and we quickly received a draft itinerary. Abcs was very responsive and allowed us to customise our itinerary, giving us useful advice in what to include. Last-minute changes were no problem. The itinerary was very detailed and allowed us to check every individual accommodation that was proposed. Options for alternatives (higher or lower cost) were available. They were also very transparent about pricing and what was in/excluded. A very useful pre-departure information package, container info on things like visa, airports, clothing, recommended gear and vaccinations was also provided.
We went for an 11 days / 10 nights comfort safari & beach combination with some minor customisations.
Trip: safari
After arriving at Kilimanjaro airport our amazing guide Peter was waiting for us to take us to the first accommodation. This all went very smoothly. After the first night the magical experience began as we visited 4 national parks over the next week: Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The variety and amount of wildlife was truly amazing. We got to see all the animals you would want, and from unexpectedly close by. The four different parks also offered a nice variety in landscape and wildlife. The car was excellent and had a cooler on board for cooled drinks. We had the car for just the two of us, so we had all the space to move around. A minor point of critique is that there were no binoculars on board, although it was said there would be. Luckily we brought our own. The accommodations were nice, from the hotels and inns to the amazing encampment in the middle of the Serengeti.
We want to especially thank Peter, our guide. He was very knowledgeable about and respectful of the nature and wildlife and knew his way around the parks perfectly. Constantly listening to his radio to check whether interesting wildlife was spotted close by, he did everything to make our experience unforgettable. He was very flexible, allowing us to decide what time to leave, how long to stay in a particular spot and focussing on animals he learned we are interested in. Moreover, he was just a very nice and funny guy, making him the perfect guide for our trip!
There was one minor miscommunication surrounding the itinerary. This was resolved quickly and respectfully.
After the safari days we took a domestic flight on a cool small propellor airplane to Zanzibar.
Trip: Zanzibar
In Zanzibar we stayed in a very nice hotel, the Z hotel in Nungwi, at the very Northern part of the island. The service, food, atmosphere, pool and beach were amazing. And when not relaxing by the pool or on the beach, there were plenty of activities to do there as well, such as horse riding and snorkelling with dolphins or above a beautiful coral reef.
All in all this trip was truly unforgettable and an amazing experience. Our only regret is that we didn't stay for longer! We would recommend such a journey to this amazing country, with this tour operator and our guide specifically to anyone. Thanks African Big Cats Safaris and especially thank you Peter!
