Amazing from start to finish!
We booked our family safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris after doing a lot of research, and they were fantastic! Brenda was incredibly helpful, with everything from itineraries through to chasing visas and our guide, Kakasii was so knowledgeable and friendly. We were slightly worried there would be too much driving for our children (age 13,11,9) but they wanted to stay and do more safaris as it was so enjoyable. Kakasii helped us to book a hot air balloon, which we would highly recommend, and nothing was too much trouble. He made sure we got close to lots of amazing animals and we never felt rushed. Even our daily lunches on safari were great!
Everything was brilliant throughout- the communication before, the hotels, food, people and our guide. We cannot recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris enough! Thank you for making our stay so memorable, we cannot wait to come back!
Spectacular!
The tour was amazing! Our guide, Leslie, was awesome and answered any questions. The amount of animal life sitings was incredible! And the Great Migration was beyond all expectations!

Leslie was the most knowledgeable, hardworking, reliable safari guide ever.
Our journey with Tanzania Choice Safaris was truly the adventure of a lifetime.
From the moment we began our safari our guide Leslie proved himself to be reliable, unflappable, kind, and deeply caring. He had a calm presence, gave us thoughtful attention, and made us feel safe, supported and thoroughly cared for throughout our entire safari. Leslie’s navigation through the parks at Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the sweeping plaines of the Serengeti was flawless. His expertise of the flora and fauna there and instinctively where to be, and when allowed us to witness wildlife moments that most people only dream about. We experienced 10 Mara River crossings during the great migration, three rhinos standing astonishingly close to our Safari jeep, a leopard resting in a tree with her kill, several impressive lion prides, and a cheetah with her four cubs to name just a few highlights of this fabulous trip.
Beyond the extraordinary wildlife and vistas our Safari offered tremendous value. The thoughtfully selected Safari camps made us feel as though we were living the true Safari experience… immersed in nature, yet wrapped in comfort. The atmosphere was authentic, warm, and wonderfully adventurous. And the staff at the Safari camps were simply the friendliest, most helpful people in the world… Full of hospitality, genuine kindness, and impeccable service.
Tanzania Choice Safaris delivered excellence at every turn and transformed our journey into something unforgettable.
We recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris with the highest enthusiasm. It was phenomenal in every way.

Exceptional Operator - from start to finish, Brenda and her team were exemplary.
In short: we could not have wished for a more wonderful experience.
From start to finish, we felt well cared for and supported as we navigated through the planning and all of the steps. Brenda went above and beyond to help us navigate some unexpected and challenging personal circumstances before our trip started, and we are eternally grateful for her kindness. We were slightly nervous about the safari due to the ages of our children and Brenda helped us design the perfect experience for our family. She is truly incredible and we felt so fortunate to work with her!
Our safari driver, Ben, was knowledgable and patient - he seemed to know where animals were effortlessly and we were thrilled with the variety, number and close proximity of animals that we encountered. If traveling with children, we do recommend having children's activities on the drives (MadLibs and kindles, etc.) that helped pass time between animal sightings. The meals were delicious and nutritious, accommodations comfortable and relaxing, and we are so pleased with the professional photos that we had taken to remember our incredible safari experience.
After our safari, we spent time relaxing in Zanzibar swimming with dolphins, learning about the unique history of the island and enjoying plentiful seafood with excellent guides and accommodation.
If we could give our experience more than five stars, we would!

Leslie was attentive, answered questions , provided a great safari experience.
Tanzania Choice gives a great experience. Great communication in planning and giving a safari to remember. Guides work to find the animals you want to see and provide information on them. Loved lunch.

These are people who know and love Tanzania
You will be well prepared even before you leave with the information provided by Tanzania Choice. Once you arrive, you will feel the honored guest. The lodgings are comfortable and grounds are beautiful. Meals are plentiful and food is very good. Your safari guides will be prompt, knowledgeable and very hospitable (also very protective). You can let them know the animals (including birds) you are interested in and they will find them for you. They are also knowledgeable about the local plants. Highly recommend this Tanzania Choice Safaris.

Made our trip seamless
I am so impressed with them from start to end. Brenda really listened to what we wanted for our family, took into account that we were traveling with a 12 year old and our overall budget. She worked with our timeline and budget and created an incredible itinerary. Ben our guide was the sweetest. He has 15 years of experience and it shows. He was with us from the time we got there to when we left. He was able to customize our day to what we wanted. I can’t recommend them enough

Highly recommend Tanzania Choice
Our family of four (2 parents/twin 10-year-olds) had an excellent experience traveling with Tanzania Choice Safaris, and we highly recommend them. It was important to us to choose a Tanzania-based company, but Brenda's American origins made the communication and cultural interpretation particularly easy, especially since our family had never visited east Africa before. Brenda worked closely with us to craft our desired itinerary, including incorporating a short non-summit Kilamanjaro hike that was more accessible to the kids, and promptly answered all our many questions. Thanks to the knowledge and expertise of the staff (special kudos to Festo and Leslie) all parts of our trip were a success, both the hike and the safari that followed. We also felt safe and supported the entire time. Should we ever travel back to Tanzania, we would absolutely choose to work with Tanzania Choice again, and would recommend them to all our friends.

Kakasii is very knowledgeable about how to see the animals at their best and very kind and helpful.
We had a fantastic 12 day trip to Tanzania. Kakasii handled all the arrangements at the various hotels and camps. He was very patient with all our questions and explained everything very well. He knows about the characteristics of the animals, so we got close up to the animals when they are the most active. We were treated as honored guests - making us all feel very special. We tried to always be on time - because he always was. I would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris to anyone wanting to experience the best of Tanzania.

Flexible, quick response, so helpful and welcoming, patient
We planned this trip very last minute (only 2-3 weeks before we were leaving!) Brenda helped us create several different itineraries in just a few days, talked with us several times via zoom. She adjusted the itineraries a few times rapidly as we learned about our options. She helped me through the payment process, provided detailed information about visas, advised about packing, helped arrange a hotel for the night after our trip ended when we were having trouble processing payment. Despite the time difference she responded very quickly to questions. Our guide Ben was very experienced and patient, never rushed us when we were watching animals. He was also following communication from other guides so we could also see so many animals. Seeing the migration in western Serengeti was amazing. I would have loved to meet Brenda, but we did happen to get to meet Kakasi who founded the company (along with Brenda) and he is also an amazing human! They truly do their best to be sure you have the best experience. We did a 10 day trip, friends told us it was longer than needed, but I could have spent more time out there. We visited Tarangiri, central Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, western Serengeti, Arusha National Park (did a canoe safari), and a day in Arusha. Most of our time was safari, but we also had an amazing experience visiting a small village and spending some time in Arusha . Sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous. Every day was EPIC. Definitely one of the best trips we have ever taken and spent time with some of the nicest people we have ever met. We are very grateful for Brenda, Kakasi and their team.
