A thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed trip in one of the most amazing places in the world!
I'm so glad we chose Tanzania Choice Safaris to organize our family's trip! Although we are seasoned travelers, I was nervous about planning an adventure of this magnitude for an aging parent with significant health issues. Brenda's thoughtfulness, experience, and attention to detail (down to choosing the best planes for our domestic flight in TZ and the most convenient rooms in the lodges) made it all easy. She addressed every concern, planned around every constraint, and pulled together a custom itinerary that was perfect for us. Communication during the planning stage was frequent and clear, and the logistics of our 5-day trip were executed seamlessly. Our family had an amazing time with our guide Leslie, and could fully enjoy the splendor of Tanzania's parks and wildlife without worrying about a thing! We are already planning to use Tanzania Choice again in March. Asante sana!

The perfect tour for the perfect first time experience.
For my first time in Africa and on safari, I was overwhelmed by the number of tours available. I must say that I made the perfect decision. From planning to the end of the trip, everything was amazing and ideal for this once in a lifetime experience. I would specifically mention the excellent and personable safari guide, Leslie, for all he did to make it memorable and smooth.

Cooper- Tanzania Trip
I attended the Tanzania Trip with family. The Safari was breathtaking and all Guides very professional and informative during the Safafri.
Mr. Cocosi (Guide) made you feel very welcome.
The Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar was a great experience; the beautiful beaches, environment and lodging accommodations.
It was an awesome experience the entire trip!!!!

Leslie, the FUN and accommodating guide
We have been thrilled and in awe more than once with Tanzania Choice Safaris. This was a second booking because the first one was such an astounding experience. It is so worth it to have a private safari designed especially for your group.
On this trip, our first view of the wildebeest crossing the Mara River was thrilling. However, our guide knew there would be a more awesome view if we hung in there for a while longer. Oh my! He was so right. This is what makes a private tour better than a larger group booked through a tour company. With Tanzania Choice Safaris, our timetable was much more flexible. The guides spare no effort to make the safari experience extraordinary. Our lodging was great, the food was great, the locals were welcoming, and our guide tireless in making every aspect of our trip the pinnacle of success.
If you are "on the fence" about doing an African safari, get off and get going. It will be your trip of a lifetime.

Well-organized, great selection of parks and attractions, superb guide.
TCS organized a 6-day trip through four major wildlife parks/reserves in northern Tanzania for our extended family. The trip exceeded my expectations in almost every way. We had detailed pre-trip instructions, all transfers and reservations were handled without a hitch, the accommodations were comfortable and well-provisioned and the wildlife and scenery were spectacular. Our guide, Leslie, could not have been better: engaging, knowledgeable, articulate (excellent English) and superb at tracking down animals to view and photograph.

Super spotter, knowledgeable, hard worker, helpful in everyway.
We had the best schedule and accommodations for animal sightings. We had flexibility if we needed to change the plan. For the most part we didn’t want to or didn’t need to. Our group was submerged in the Serengeti and surrounding areas to experience the most natural habitats and survival of all living things. It was awesome. Able to bring back a treasure of photos taken

Superb great migration and birding safaris led by knowledgeable TZ drivers.
Flew to remote Mara River camp to see the Great Migration crossover the crocodile invested Mara River into TZ twice. And saw great Rift Valley from air. Driver maneuvered us into unobstructed view of animals not only crossing but coming up the bank. Using radio communicating with other drivers, our TZ driver located many other animals in remote locations, a pride of lions resting on rocks and up/under trees after morning kills; a lone leopard, with extended belly full of very recent kill, within close site of vultures fighting and feeding off carcass. Drove to Oldupai Gorge and to site down in gorge with museum guide to see actual location Leakey’s found many key artifacts. Stayed overnight in authentic camp nestled within many Masai villages. Drove down into Ngorongoro crater to see many animals in natural habitat, including rare black rhinos, completing Big Five on this trip alone. Drove to Tarangire National Park to see baobab trees among elephant herds and many lions. Our TZ driver expert in animals, culture, life, geology and birds. Located over 50 different TZ birds for our Audubon knowledgeable birder. Stayed in Arusha and visited museum and Culture Center, one of best fine African art collections in world (live in Washington, DC) Having lived 3 years in TZ this is our 2nd trip with TZ Choice Safaris. We are planning our 3rd in 2024 with our family and friends.

Amazing experience, top-notch service
This is the second time that I have use this Safari company. They are absolutely outstanding. Brenda is an American who has settled in Tanzania, and is the main contact person for arranging your tours. She is extremely organized and booked all of our complex air travel, hotels, and park entries. I was able to customize the tour after several conversations with her. She is absolutely phenomenal.
There are several very seasoned Safari guides in this company. This time we had Leslie who was spectacular. We spent six days with him and he was completely appropriate, organized, and interested. He has a knack for finding the animals and for having us have a great experience. He had joy showing us unique animal experiences. He is always respectful and on time.
Overall, this is a fantastic company that you will be really happy with. It is the perfect size because you will know who the guides are and you have a main contact person who is available all the time.
Five stars!
