It was easily on of the highlights of my life.
Our service was first class from the immediate response to our inquiry, the timely communications leading up to our trip to the actually safari. Our guide was the perfect host. He went out of the way to make us comfortable and seemed to delight in showing us the beauty of his country. He made every effort to meet our specific interests and patiently allowed us to enjoy various animals up close in their natural habitat. The schedule laid out was perfect, the lodge was first class, and we saw every animal we hoped to as well as many more than we could have imagined. As my daughter said, 10 out of 10, we would recommend to a friend! Now that we have been so spoiled, I can't imagine going with anyone else.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
Our experience in Tanzania was wonderful! We were so kindly welcomed, and I never felt like “just a client” or that it was just a job for Brenda and Kakasii; instead, we were guests like good friends and family. I especially appreciated their kindness and how personal they made the experience for us. The entire trip I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. The safari was a great adventure with friendly and knowledgeable guides. Our hike up Kilimanjaro also included friendly and knowledgeable guides as well as a great team who all kept us healthy and happy as we hiked. I have no complaints as I enjoyed every bit of my experience in Tanzania!

Wonderful, very professional and helpful.
Tanzania Choice Safaris was more than expected. We enjoyed every minute. The communications was exceptional and very professional. We arrived a day early and was greeted with a wonderful restaurant and help finding a place to stay for the night. You went above and beyond and we appreciate it very much. The Safari was perfect, we saw many animals and the accommodations were excellent. Thank you.

They made my once in a lifetime experience a once in a lifetime experience
On our trip 8 of us had a 4 day safari and 8 day Mt Kilimanjaro climb. Brenda was super helpful at very stage from planning until we boarded the plane home. We were treated as family friends with our trip customized to meet our wishes and needs. Emails and skype calls prior to the trip were half full in making sure we were prepared and also that our expectations were being met. The experience was beyond my expectations. The safari was incredible with knowledgeable drivers, great lunches, water packed for us every day. The hotel accommodations varied and were all wonderful. Brenda was able to get updates from Festo while we were on the mountain and she kept our family and friends updated on our progress. They were thankful for this because when we did not have cell service and no other way to let them know how we were doing.
I can't say enough positives about our experience and how thankful I am for their part in making this a trip I will never forget.

Life time opportunity fulfulled
I have been planning this trip with my brother for about a year. We ended up with a total of 8 people to help share this monumental trip. After much deliberation, we decided to go with Tanzania Choice Safaris. I had one small request to include a safari driver that I had about 9 years ago. They were happy to oblige. The planning and communication were great. We of course had numerous questions along the way. They were all answered in a timely manner and professionally. Upon arrival, we were greeted which is always a nice thing in a foreign country. If we had extra time, plans were easily adjusted to us. Even on the mountain when we took longer to arrive at the summit than expected, our plans were quickly and easily changed to accommodate us getting to the top. T)he safari driver that I requested, Yusuph (I will admit I am prejudge towards him) went over and above to make sure the safari was suburb! Kati Kati, the tented camp in Serengeti was an extra pleasant surprise being in the middle of a National Park. The shower was the best I had the entire trip. To think we were out there among all of the animals. The food was fabulous! Rhino lodge was a surprise with zebras grazing outside our cabin door in the evening and an elephant that came into the lodge area to get a snack. I could go on and on about how great this experience was. You have to see to believe! Thanks Brenda and Kawkasii, I could not have asked for anything better!

Fantastic!
I joined a group of 7 people that had already hired Tanzania Choice Safaris for their trip to Tanzania. The people in the group said that Brenda was very responsive to their questions even before we had signed the agreement. Every detail from being picked up at the airport, all the hotel arrangements, drivers, etc. was planned perfectly! Both Brenda and Kakasii were so welcoming! I felt like part of the family. I would highly recommend choosing Tanzania Choice Safaris for any adventure you are planning in Tanzania!

Absolutely the best
This was my third time on safari with our guide, Kakasii, but the first since the inception of this company in late 2013. The first time was in 2009 and the second was in the summer of 2013. Both of my previous times were in larger groups, but this most recent trip was just me and a friend. While I might be slightly biased because I've never traveled with another safari company, I think Tanzania Choice might be the best company available for safari trips in Tanzania! From my first email inquiry about this trip to our final game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, every detail was attended to and each question answered with care and efficiency! On the office side, Brenda was prompt and detailed in email correspondence, and was able to help us organize our other travel plans in Tanzania; she was able to squeeze every possible dollar out of our limited budget to still give us a full and interesting itinerary. While on safari, Kakasii worked hard to get us the best game viewing experience and accommodate requests for animals we wanted to see; his knowledge of all the animals is almost infinite, and he is one of the best when it comes to finding some of the more rare animals! Seriously, there is no need to look at any other companies; you will not be disappointed if you choose Tanzania Choice. I cannot recommend them enough! Side note about parks: this was my first trip into Tarangire National Park (our substitute for the Serengeti on this trip) and it was absolutely amazing! If you weren't planning on making the trip there, I would recommend trying to fit an overnight in Tarangire into your itinerary! Absolutely fantastic.
Best way to enjoy Tanzania's Game Parks.
Tanzania Choice safaris far exceded all of our expectations. The knowledge of our guide, Kakasaii, insured that we would be in the right place at the right time to maximize each moment of our trip. Far before we arrived in Tanzania, we were supplied with a well planned itinerary, with all of the information needed so we would not be faced with in-country surprises. When we return to continue Tanzania's wonderful game parks, there is no question that we will use Tanzania Choice Safaris as our host. Anyone reading this should make the same choice!
Thanks Brenda and Kakasaii for making a dream come true.
A personalized, professional safari, and the best of 7 safaris I've enjoyed in my life!
The Safari lived up to expectations and then some. I have been to Africa 12 times, and Tanzania six times. My standards are high, and Tanzania Choice Safaris exceeded my expectations. It is because of the wonderful team that leads this company. It is a husband-and-wife team that is unmatched. Kakasii in the field, and Brenda in the office. Communications were prompt and perfect, and Kakasii's English is excellent along with his knowledge of fauna, flora and animal life in Tanzania . Very simply, the best Safari I've ever taken.
