Sylvia & great guy JOHN (guide) very professional, knowledgeable, lots a patience & great humour
Overlall the trip was good, safari, accomodation, food etc.except the concept of africa you build over years through books, TV, social media etc. seen herds of wild elephants, giraffs etc. you dont see at every safari. lake manyaara was VERY AVERAGE - just saw few animals every 30 mins or so! one giraff in a the bush at a distance. few lone bulls - pachyderms. A better choice would have beeen Tarangire. ngorongoro crater was really good you see varieties of wild life, birds and ungulates. again no herds of elephants! The food at stays and packed food were great. Recommend highly Green Mountain hotel. rhino and leapards very rare.
It's advisable for the company FIRST requests the tourist what their requrements are, instead of offering a standard package, Will never recommend lake manyaara safari. Prabably the best place to see wild life is serengeti.
Just a word about Sylvia the contact at Monkey - excellent communiactor with effective prompt action.
Arusha you except to be hot but it's cool. you need a jumper/sweater- a hot tea/coffee in a themos would have been great during safari.

Kakasi always went the extra mile to provide the best experience possible.
Tanzania Choice Safaris was a delight from beginning to end. In the pre-trip days, their communications, including answering questions and providing information, was always excellent. Brenda was diligent in providing the best accommodations, travel arrangements, help with the visa, and anything else that we needed. We were met at the airport, and taken around by Kakasi, until he dropped us back at the airport for our home trip. His abilities to find animals in the Serengeti are amazing, including a mother Cheetah and her twin babies. We were never worried about anything. He kept the vehicle spotless, our water supply filled and cold, and was full of information and fun as we travelled. I would highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris, and would not hesitate at all to travel with them again. 100% delightful.

Absolutely Wonderful Safari Experience
Our family of 5 just finished a fabulous safari journey with Nakilenge. From the start of our booking to our drop off at the airport, everything was perfect. Above and beyond experiences to note: Yusuph and our driver Charles communicated very well to set our agenda, Yusuph arranged special birthday celebrations for my husband’s 60th at our arrival and at a few of the lodges; we stayed at amazing an unique lodges; we saw so many animals, birds, and lizards; our driver Charles got us up close and personal with several lions and managed to drive us safely on very poor roads: and we ate delicious meals. I don’t think anyone on our crew could have asked for a better safari experience.
Many thanks to Yusuph and Charles for creating and making our journey so extraordinary and special!! We’ll be back!

Mesmerising! Beautiful Country with abundance of greenery and wildlife.
Kenya is full of surprises and has a great vibe. The people are lovely and very friendly. The wildlife is insane and you can see them at close proximity. Kenya has alot of history and this is evident in Nairobi.

Excellent Value for Price and Great Guide
This was a great trip, and Peter was an excellent guide who was very informed and went out of his way to find animals. The roads were in bad shape due to the flooding and the vehicle was not the best. Suggest guests pay more for land cruiser. I was a solo traveler and having a guide for me and not being crowded into the van was part of the value. The accomodations were great. Don't forget to visit the Heminingway house in Amboselin.

Best day hike to Kilimanjaro
Emmanuel with Telly African Safaris was our guide and he planned the perfect day for us. I was a bit hesitant to climb in that elevation coming off a two week safari. Emmanuel knew just what to do telling us to hike “ pole, pole” slowly, slowly and he would stop us to take frequent breaks and sips of water. After an hour, everyone had acclimated to the elevation and could enjoy hiking in the beautiful rain forest. You pass streams and waterfalls, and find monkeys and birds along the way. The path is well groomed and there is even men’s/women's toilets with running water and toilet paper about every 1.5 hours on the trail!!!
The terrain changes as you leave the rain forest canopy and climb to the crater. Emmanuel has made over 400 trips to the summit and we were able to get good advice about making the full climb when we return in a year. Emmanuel carried our one backpack and the most wonderful box lunches for us. Our only responsibility was to enjoy the beautiful day. He even brought aluminum hiking poles for each of us. This was the perfect opportunity for us to get acquainted with Kilimanjaro mountain. Can’t say enough good things about our guide and this Telly African Safaris experience!
