Excellent
Four day family trip to Arusha, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Olduvai Gorge. We had an absolutely wonderful time, our guide Noel was superb. Overall a 10/10 experience and worth every penny. Communication was outstanding, we followed our itinerary like clockwork. We have been on several safari trips and this was one of the best.

Amazing
Brenda helped us to organize all the details even to get a better airline option for timing/arrival destination. All accommodations were great and all our needs were cover. Leslie our guide was amazing, friendly, very knowledgeable about the area, animals and always with a great smile. Totally recommend it. See you all sometime soon!

Our Safari by Tanzania Choice was wonderful!!!
On the recommendations of friends we booked our Tanzania safari with Tanzania Choice. This is a small company that has the personal touch vibe. The tour was well organized and a pleasure to experience. Our driver, Noel, was superb. Personable, professional and joy to hang out with! A true expert on navigating the reserves, locating the animals and at the same time we were always on schedule. All in all I would have no doubts about booking with Tanzania Choice next time.

A Choice experience from arrival to departure
There are no strangers here; Only friends that you haven’t met yet. - William Butler Yeats
Tanzania Choice Safaris is the company founded and operated by Kakasi and Brenda Kimaro whom I now hope to count as friends. Between them they are a class act, catering to an outstanding experience. Brenda maintains a long list of resources and options that ultimately allow you to create a boutique experience. Kakasi has an extensive list of contacts and seemingly knows everyone you may cross paths with. Our safari guide was Noel Kimaro, Kakasi’s nephew. Noel was not only our guide, but our host and educator. Being in the family gave him the latitude and experience to make our tour truly exceptional.
From the arrival at the airport to the drop off at the same, we were under their wing. While our trip might not have been a common itinerary, it flowed smoothly with some great surprises. Church, picnic, tours of multiple dispenseries/hospitals, the Safari with multiple lodges, stops at the African Galleria in Usangi, and Sanaa in Arusha rounded out our trip.
Documentation, emails, and even a Zoom call prior to our trip outlined everything. Should I ever go back, there is only one company I would consider as my safari guide, namely Tanzania Choice Safaris.

Leslie was an amazing safari guide!
This tour exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived Mr Leslie was friendly, kind, and patient with our family of 4. Through our 6 days in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, Leslie was so skilled at seeing and sighting all manner of animals. His knowledge seemed limitless and he patiently answered all of our questions about the animals, the parks, and life in Tanzania. We had so much fun and were very sad to leave this beautiful country. We will certainly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris, and Leslie specifically, to anyone we know who is planning a safari. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!
Tanzania Chose was so great! Highly recommend.
We had a great safari and saw so many animals. Cacasii was an excellent guide and knows everything about the landscape.

Kakasii is the best - you will be glad he was your guide!
I absolutely loved my Tanzania Choice Safari. Everything from the number and variety of animals we saw to the delicious food we ate exceeded my expectations. Kakasii was born to lead safaris. His sense of humor, knowledge of where to find animals and when, and the fact that he seems to know EVERYONE in Tanzania means that no matter what, he is going to make sure your experience is the best it can be. When I visited, the highlight was seeing literally hundreds of elephants as they migrated, including a momma and her baby RIGHT on the road.
His wife, Brenda, is American, and does an excellent job of managing the itinerary and booking. She is conscious of the little things that non-Tanzanians value in travel planning, like prompt and clear communications, attention to detail, and options. She anticipates your needs and works hard to make sure you get the experience you want to have.

An amaxing and unforgettable trip of a lifetime.
With no one to compare to, this being my first safari, I can only say, I don't think other companies can beat Tanzania Choice Safaris. A family owned company that cares as much for their clients safety and experiences as their own family, can only be given a 5 star rating.
Because of the excellent communication I felt I knew these people before I arrived in Tanzania. This trip was beyond expectations. The intinirary was so carefully planned to include all my requests and some suggestions that I hadn't thought about, i.e. a balloon ride over the Serengeti, which should not be missed! Our guide Kakasii was excellent. His experience (more than 14 years as a guide) made this safari so much more than I had anticipated. I saw all the animals, and experienced the Migration of the wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River that many people missed. He always seemed to know just where we should be, at just the right time to experience an a cheetah and her cubs feasting on a recent kill, lions mating, crocodiles killing a wildebeest and so much more!
The accommodations planned were all very good, the food and service in the tent lodges was great. In a couple of overnight stays we were the only guests at that lodge so we really felt special.
While there are many safari companies out there and I saw many of them, Tanzania Choice Safaris was definitely the best choice for me, and I would highly recommend them.

Perfect...Just Perfect
Our relationship with Tanzania Choice Safaris was incredible from day one. Brenda demonstrated great flexibility in helping us build an itinerary that was perfect for us, and she had several suggestions on creative ways to help us reduce the overall cost of the trip. We exchanged numerous emails in the weeks leading up to the trip and connected via Skype, all of which helped make us feel really comfortable about our trip. Even in retrospect, we could not imagine any single aspect of our trip being better than it did. Our Kilimanjaro guide (Festo) was beyond professional and turned into a friend who ensured that we reached the summit - the entire crew was incredible. Kakasii, our safari guide, also became a wonderful friend. His understanding and knowledge of the Serengeti, Tarangiri, and Ngorongoro Crater put us so close to every animal we dreamed of seeing, and more. He put us in places other guides didn't know about, and his patience allowed us to see things few tourists were able to observe. Even beyond providing the trip of a lifetime, Tanzania Choice added such a wonderful personal touch - the dinners shared, the stories told, the adventures experienced...Brenda even helped arrange for a surprise anniversary gift for my wife! Tanzania Choice Safaris is the absolutely best company to use for your Tanzania trip!!!
