Once in a lifetime adventure executed to perfection !!
Our trip to Tanzania included a successful 8 day trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro (aka the "Roof of Africa") on the Lemosho route and a 2 day safari to Tarangire National Park - all with Tanzania Choice Safaris. From the pre trip planning forward, it was a fantastic experience. Brenda, Kakasii, Festo and Leslie designed a great itinerary and made themselves available throughout to answer all of our questions. Once on the ground in Tanzania we were treated like friends and family. The Tanzania Choice Safaris team went above and beyond to make this an experience of a lifetime. We came across many groups on the mountain and while on safari who had paid far more but were having a far less satisfying experience. If you're planning an ascent of Kilimanjaro or a safari, look no further than Tanzania Choice Safaris, you will not be disappointed.

An Incredible Safari/Beach Holiday in South Tanzania
Thank you to Tom and, more recently, Carmen for organising such an amazing holiday! We had been on safari about 10 years ago in Kenya and were very keen to do another one with our friends but didn't want to share the wildlife with lots of other vehicles!!! Tom Blakey of Wayfairer travel recommended a very reasonably priced (compared to the larger well known companies) two centre safari in Selous and Ruaha, South Tanzania with a 5 night stay on Mafia island and the possibility of seeing whalesharks. The whole trip ran like clockwork and we had an amazing time at both Selous and Ruaha camps, seeing loads of wildlife without many other vehicles turning up and even swam with whalesharks off the coast at Butiama Beach! I would definitely recommend Wayfairer travel to anyone thinking of organising a safari holiday.

Excellent service and attention and the guide was the best
Communication was very smooth, everything was done via WhatsApp the team was always ready to replay, when I ask for a different hotel they swiftly send the the info and rates. My safari trip was 5 days on 3 different locations but after visiting I would definitely consider to take out one of the destination and allocate that day in one of the others, in part so I could enjoy the installations better and some game reserves are better than others, either ask for more details of what to expect on each park or do more research about it, even though I went in February, which is low season and most of the animals are in Tanzania at the time, I liked that there were hardly many tourists. Also I’m so glad that i chose the land cruiser rather than the van, do not save on this take the land cruiser, save on the hotel if you must but you’ll be spending more time in the vehicle than the hotel

Fantastic experience with our guide George
We had safari with our guide George. His goal was to make sure that we saw as many different animals as possible. On our first drive we saw elephants, giraffes, many buffalos, zebras and also cheetahs. On the next day his focus was searching for rhinos, lions and leopards. Because of his efforts we got to see all the big five. George told us captivating stories about animals and their behavior. This made the game viewing that much more fun. We hope to come back next year.

Professional company with great knowledge of Tanzania and offers excellent equipped lodges.
We have had an overwhelming safari of 11 consecutive days. We visited NP Lake Manyara, NP Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, NP Tarangire, West Kilimanjaro, where we stayed in a Masai lodge and visited the nearby hospital of 2 Austrian doctors. Schools (boarding) have also been set up on site. The proceeds from the Masai lodge benefit the hospital and schools. Not only at the latter location we were extensively and well informed by the driver / guide of Flash Safaris. This involved all locations that we visited during the safari.
We first met the inhabitants of the village llkiding'a the first day at the foot of Mount Meru. Got a tour through the extensive living and living area and we enjoyed a traditional lunch.
Of course we have been 'on the hunt' for the wild game in the areas. We are very satisfied with this! From the big 5, we have had the lion, buffalo, leopard and elephant up close at hand several times. The guide came very close to the game in all cases. We were also literally in the middle of the annual migration of wildebeests and zebras! What an experience that was. Not to be missed were the beautiful film shots that we were able to make of giraffes, hippos, a pregnant cheetah, hyenas, gazelles, impalas, of course monkeys, a large variety of colorful birds, but also birds of prey. Especially the locations / landscapes at the Masai (view of Mt. Kilimanjaro!), Ndutu / Serengeti and Sangaiwe (NP Tarangire) have left us an indelible impression. The safari has 100% met our expectations, thanks to Flash (Magda and guide Adam). Our great appreciation for that!

Excellent experience in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar!
I contacted John (Director of CKC) from Argentina and he was very helpful and professional in organizing the trip we wanted to make. Everything was perfect, the drivers in Kenya (Kenedy) and Tanzania (John) were very friendly. I highly recommend going to the Ngorongoro Crater, it's amazing! And Zanzibar is a paradise.
Thanks John and CkC Tours and Travel.
I strongly recommend this travel agency

The guide was great but the rest was lacking
The communication was poor. We did a Maasai Mara tour with this company and the guide was excellent, the food was poor though as we had lunches that we a slice of tomato and a slice of onion between three pieces of bread. Despite this we decided to book another safari from Mombasa to Nairobi with stops in Tsavo West and Amboseli. Although we sent them a map showing where the pick up would be, the company went to our previous hotel in Nairobi. They tried to skirt blame over this putting it squarely on us, even though on several occasions we made it clear where we would be. Thankfully we were able to find another tour company which provided us with great service.

Wonderful experience
I went on a six day safari with my parents (Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, tarangire). It was not my first safari with enchanting Tanzania safaris and as all my experiences so far it was just amazing.
The lodging including food was fabulous and our guide was experienced and fulfilled all our wishes. He has a huge knowledge about the animals, the country and also about birds (very important for my father). And on top he is fluent in German! Due to the experience of our guide we saw not only the big five but also many other animals and birds, gained more knowledge and saw many different places in the parks but also around arusha.
I hope to be back soon for another safari - of course with ETS!
