Nothing but good memories!
We had an incredible experience with Tanzania Choice Safaris. From booking with Brenda to cruising with Kakasii, everything was excellent. Brenda made sure we would have good accommodations for our children and electricity all night long for my dad's CPAP machine. Kakasii took us to the Serengeti and into the Ngorongoro Crater and both were wonderful. He made sure we saw absolutely everything we wanted and made sure we got every picture we hoped for as well. We took three children ages three and under and he was so patient and loved them as his own. Despite all the messes we made and even when the kids yelled in front of the lions, Kakasii made us feel like we could relax. We absolutely enjoyed every part of this experience and we would recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to everyone we know and love!

The Ultimate Personalized Safari Experience
Paul Tickner helped us plan the perfect safari for us, keeping in mind our interests and abilities. The result was a memorable three week experience that included (at Paul's suggestion) some much appreciated rest and relaxation before the long journey home. This trip of a lifetime far exceeded our expectations - and our expectations were high! We were impressed by Paul's meticulous attention to detail. We were always met as we stepped off our internal flights by a representative ready to whisk us away to our next adventure, our guides were knowledgeable and professional. We were privileged to have Paul himself as our guide in Ruaha, his home turf. His knowledge of the ecosystem and culture truly enhanced our experience. We loved it all so much, we want to return!

Excellent Knowledge, Professional Safari Guide
From the initial communication till leaving us at the airport at the end of our Trip, Hennie was an exceptional host. He took good care of us on our Capetown/Brenton/Addo/Kruger trip. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable
We loved the Safari. Everything happened as agreed, with no surprises and no catch rates. The Migunga lodge was great, the parks were great and our guide Simon did everything to please us. We recommend you guys to everyone who go to Tanzania.

Kudos to Denver. He is a true representative of Dens Safari, a reliable & trustworthy tour company!
Planning a Zambian safari was an experience in itself; but Denver was ever quick to reply to all of my queries. He was right on time at 6:00 AM to pick us up in Lusaka for a 4 day adventure in the South Luangwa National Park. Since the drive took all day, Denver stayed at our lodge for our entire trip. He even went out with us on the first of our four safari drives. This adventure more than met our expectations. On our first drive we witnessed an impala being chased by a lion. When the impala fled into the river we thought it had escaped harm. Not 3 seconds later the unfortunate impala was killed by a croc! Everything happed so fast there were no pics of the action. On subsequent drives we saw every animal on our "wish" list and more. The last night we were taken to the place where lions had taken down a giraffe. Up close, we witnessed the pride feasting on this enormous animal.
The lodge used by Dens Safari took good care of us, and watched over us during the night when hippos and elephants come into the camp to feed. After this adventure, Denver took us back to Lusaka to spend the night. Early the next morning he picked us up to take us to Livingstone / Victoria Falls. Again, the lodge was very nice, and Denver went out of his way to make sure we saw all the amazing views of the falls.
I cannot overstate the great service Denver provided. He is a quiet and humble man; but willingly shared knowledge about his beautiful country. The reliability alone was worth so much, yet the cost to me was very modest. My highest recommendation goes out to Dens Safari...

Bad start but good end
The first thing is that the driver was excellent and very experienced. Aron is best at taking positions abd chasing animals in Safari game driving. The other thing was that the tent camp was much safer and in good conditions than we thought. Meal was good and internet was ok. Also it is really great to experience such nature.
Apart from this, I must say we experienced a really bad thing. Their email was hacked and we had stress over days even before our journey starts. But they funded our trip because our money was stolen.
Second bad thing was because this is a budget tour, you should think you already accept risking things. So beware that you may come across with hard to deal with kind of things.
The operaters knew how to deal with things. We were 5 people from age of 28 to 60s and none of us found it too hard. I wish you all good luck for the big fiv

Wonderful experience
My wife and I booked a customized Safari to east africa (Kenya+Tanzania ),.This was a wonderful life time experience and the memories are still fresh .The Safari covered Masai mara,Lake Naivasha ,Amboseli,Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater Parks with private cook and Driver/Guide in the Car.
We also booked the hot Air Balloon ride in Masai Mara,This is the ultimate adventure ,Souring in a hot air balloon over herds of in the inner reaches of the Mara Luckily enough seeing the Migration of wildebeest so clearly. In almost all the parks visited ,we were able to see the big 5 at a close distance.
After Kenya we crossed to Tanzania visiting Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater.The views from the Crater rim are breathtaking with ever present abundance of wildlife.Ngorongoro is a must Visit !.
This is a trip to remember and we cannot thank John and Rama our driver/guides and the entire KWSS team for their hospitability and hard work they put to make our safari memorable.
We strongly recommend KWSS for everyone looking for a wonderful experience.

Best Safari experience
The full program was marvelously planned for us. We did a 5 day safari stopping at Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We were able to see more than expected like a family of cheetahs, leopards hunting, Lions, etc... (Big and small 5)
Hekima team are the best, they were able to deliver exceeding our expectations. A big thanks to the team Elieza, Jackson, Samy and Elisante; they were excellent drivers, cooks, and planners!
The planning and schedule was something open and subject to our best interest all the way, this helped us learn and also choose the best routes, timings and activities.
If you want a complete experience of Tanzania, Safaris and have a good time with amazing people I would highly recommend Hekima, we now truly feel them as family.
Even after the trip they were concern about us and if we arrived safely to Chile.

Excellent service, excellent staff, quick response and always punctual
I got to know Karibu safaris from my online search and contacted them same as I did with others which I also found online. What caught me was their response time, very quick with questions answered. Even though this was a budget safari, i had the opportunity to discuss the safari options till I felt ok with the suggestions. On the Safari, the driver/guides Richard& Dennis were very punctual when it came to pick up & drop off times, impressively punctual, very friendly, knowledgeable about the animals & ensured we saw the big 5. They never complained or seemed to be in a hurry but ensured we got a good view of the animals and had taken good pictures. Imagine taking care of the diverse needs of 8 adults on a safari & no one had anything negative to say.One thing to note with Karibu is always make specific inquiries about issues/information received for clarity sake. Do not assume any information. It was an excellent experience & we never felt abandoned or stranded at any point.
