Wow! It can't get any better than Gosheni!
My husband, myself and his two sisters thoroughly enjoyed our 8-night 'Migration Safari during Calving' with Gosheni. Our emails were always answered promptly, our safari patiently tailored to our changing requests by Peter and his staff, and payments easy. We were met at the airport by our guide, Gabriel. He had waited hours for our delayed arrival but we soon learned TIA - This Is Africa. However, a late flight was the only glitch and nothing to do with Gosheni. We chose the mid-luxury option as we wanted en suites, but it felt like we were in luxury. The tents and lodges were all very comfortable, and though we were in the middle of the Serengeti, we felt very safe. And spoiled by the attentive service and excellent food and beverages, at each tented lodge or lodge. The highlight of our safari, of course, had to be our guide Gabriel (who looks uncannily like Denzel Washington!). Gabriel was experienced, knowledgable, friendly, funny and a good driver! He seemed to have a sixth sense for spotting wildlife - we saw so much from a lion carrying her cubs to wildebeest calving to a cheetah kill. We saw all of the Big 5 (even the Big 12), and dozens more species, some so close to the Landcruiser our iPhones even took good photos! Gabriel even had us singing ' Jambo...Jambo Bwana...' We were very glad we chose a local company and supported the local economy. So Kudos to Gosheni and especially Gabriel for making our Tanzanian safari so incredible.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Michelle Papa
Tarangire National Park is very well landscaped and beautiful. It's not as wild as the plains of the Serengeti or as jungle-like as the Ngorongoro Crater. The Tarangire almost feels like an amusement park zoo but don't let that stop you from visiting! There are plenty of animals to be seen and it feels like it's a nice way to break you in before going on a real safari!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Michelle Papa
The Serengeti is what you imagine what an African safari is like! And it's real! The Serengeti is like no other place I've ever been to. We camped out in the Serengeti and a cheetah and a hyena entered our camp at night. And in the early morning, we saw an elephant just walking along the camp boarder as well. This place is magical!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Michelle Papa
Ngorongoro Crater was my favorite place to visit. It is so lush and green and it felt like we were going back in time. I highly recommend a visit to this enchanting place!

A once in a lifetime experience!
The best part of our trip was the safari we booked through safaribookings.com. We choose a 5 day safari with a few nights camping in the Serengeti. 5 days was plenty of time and we saw so many different animals and of course the big 5!
Our guide was passionate and very knowledgeable. We all developed a bond and we still text via WhatsAp from time to time. The lodge, Farm of Dreams, that they put us up in was pretty amazing! They were little huts but they had all the great amenities of a nice hotel. We were treated really well by the hotel staff and workers. I highly recommend this lodging.
In the beginning I felt very overwhelmed planning our trip to Tanzania. Especially the safari leg. SafariBookings.com made it so easy to decide what company I was going to go with. I loved how I was able to review each one day by day and the site is very organized. I would use you guys again! And I recommend you to all my friends!! Thank you again!

Amazing safari
We (a group of four) booked a 6-day safari in Kenya, visited Maasai Mara NP, Amboseli NP and Lake Naivasha. After a preliminary research and price offers from a few companies we decided to go with the Heritage of African Jungles, because their price was right and they always replied promptly to all the requests. We were not disappointed! (And I have to say 3 of us are tour guides ourselves, so we are quite demanding.) Some points from the trip:
1. The car (a safari-vehicle-converted 8-seater Toyota) was comfy and safe.
2. Our driver-guide Sam was nice, polite and always able to spot the animals. He was flexible and knowledgeable. He cleaned the vehicle daily (as you can imagine, the roads are dusty).
3. We stayed in standard lodges - to be honest, what they call "standard" was already in the luxurious zone for us. But it was worth it as it was only a few dollars more expensive than camps. All the hotels were nice, comfy and fully equipped.
4. The meals in safari lodges are not Michelin-level, but they are still good. Water, tea and coffee was always provided. Breakfast buffet was satisfactory even for a gluten-free person.
5. Our driver provided drinking water for us.
6. If you want to see the big 5, go to Maasai Mara. If you want to enjoy the scenery, go to Amboseli. For this reason I was happy that we decided to do Mara first and Amboseli second - we saw all the animals first and then had fun later.

A sight to never forget
The trip was full of excitement at every turn. We wanted to see something different than our usual "city or beach" vacation and South Africa delivered on everything we were hoping for. We took the three day Kruger tour and was able to see most all the animals we were hoping to see. Even got the surprise of seeing a very rare dog pack just chilling in the street. Anyways, if you're looking to see nature in its most natural setting and explore a very beautiful country, I highly recommend South Africa.

Amzing adventure with Tanzania Choice Safari. Extremely knowledgeable and extremely accommodating.
Tanzania Choice Safari provided a personal itinerary for my trip and expectations. Skype interview allowed for a timely and efficient communication to express wants and needs. Leslie was my personal guide who was extremely polite, knowledgeable, and willing to go above and beyond to give me the beat experience on the Serengeti! I will definitely use this tour agency again for my future adventures in Tanzania.
