Great, funny and tries his best to make the experience magical
I would recommend the experience of camping. If you can do it for longer, that would be amazing. The different locations that you will be able to see by sleeping in the most scenic environments is unbelievable.
Nick did everything in his power have us see as many animals as possible on the Safari by take non topical routes. Along with his great suggestion we managed to see more of Uganda in 4 days.
Thanks Nick for the great experience!

FANTASTIC - start to finish, planning excellent, Guide Noel AWESOME, accomodations very comfortable
I recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris highly. Our trip was wonderful and our guide, Noel superb. Our group of 6 was handled carefully and safely the entire trip from airport back to airport hotel the night before departure. I can not give enough praise for our guide, good driver, knowledgeable, worked hard to keep us comfortable (rough roads, few/no restrooms), great job making daily schedules and departure time plans, quick to locate wildlife and quick to stop when we spotted wildlife, patient with our desire see every possible animal. Our favorite lodge Kubu Kubu tented lodge in the Serengeti. If you want expert advice to plan to your trip and a feeling of safety your entire trip - these are the folks to contact for a worry free and fun safari trip.
The best guide and safari package EVER
We had the most amazing time on this safari. Everything was organized accordingly and the team was responsive. But what made our safari even more amazing was Reuben who was our safari tour guide. He was extremely respectful, kind, and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and gave us details on all the animals that we saw. We would not have had this great of a Safari trip without him. I highly recommend requesting Reuben as your tour guide because he is the best of the best!!! We loved him!

Libe is very lovely
Libe was an excellent guide. He made us feel very welcome and we saw the big 5! We were very happy with our experience. He also went above and beyond by taking us for dinner on our last day and dropping us to the airport later in the evening, closer to our flight time.

Shemeji fulfilled my dream
This 14-day trip (12 days on safari) was all I expected and more.
From the first contact, I felt that my Shemeji representative understood what I wanted regarding budget, itinerary, lodgings, etc. She answered my gazillion questions in the best delays and gave me clear information. I did not feel pushed to upscale or spend more than my stated budget (which was not the case with other companies I contacted). The evening before the start of my safari, a Shemeji representative came to my lodge to welcome me and give me a briefing for the following days.
During the trip, I stayed at 7 different lodges and they were exactly as described - no bad surprise. All of them had all the amenities advertised; everything was very clean, bottled water was provided for toothbrushing, safes for valuables and mosquito nets were in place, and basic toiletries were provided. The food was good and plentiful. The teams, from the managers to the waiters and security guards, were excellent. They were attentive and cheerful and made you feel extremely welcome. As a 59-year-old female solo traveler, I felt safe in all places at all times. If you needed anything and it was in their power to make it happen, they would. Each lodge had its particular charm, from huge tents to circular Masaai-like rooms. The one in Ikoma has a particular place in my heart because, from my tent patio, I saw giraffes and zebras ambling by pretty close as well as a group of wildebeests running toward the North.
As far as wildlife viewing, it was absolutely fantastic. I had a great guide, Englebert, who not only knew the Serengeti inside out, could answer any question, drove efficiently and safely, had eyes like a hawk, found great places to view every animal but was also very educational on the ecosystems, the different types of wildlife conservation areas throughout Tanzania, and about life in Tanzania in general. He was pivotal in the success of my trip. My other local guides (Mto wa Mbu village, Masaai Boma village, Pololeti Game Reserve, and Ikoma Walking Safari) were also great. I learned a lot about farming, daily life, customs, and the flora through them.
As far as pricing goes, I feel like I received good value for my budget. I hope to be able to go back to Tanzania in a few years and will not hesitate to book again with Shemeji.

Great tour operator and amazing tour. Everything was perfect
Tour to Rwanda and Uganda with Frena was amazing. It was organised perfect. Everything was on time and according to plan. Our guide and driver Dismas was great. When we needed he was very professional, and also he was great companion - very friendly, positive, and full of knowledge. Highly recommend tour with Frena and Dismas. And to compare. After 4 days tour in Uganda we had 4 days Safari in Tanzania. In Tanzania was very bad - they just want to earn a lot of money and not trying at all. So if you thinking about tour and Safari in Africa - go to Uganda - the country is beautiful, people very friendly, and tour company like Frena and guides like Dismas just great and perfect. They try hard to make your tour amazing.

The best tour company for a trip of a lifetime
Wow is all I can say. Thank you so so much to Sunita, Smera and Mr Bhatt who are the most incredible people that made our honeymoon so special. Everything was planned to detail, excellent communication and we will definitely be coming back to Kenya for another safari. Our driver and guide Armstrong was also incredible, he kept us safe throughout our trip and was so knowledgable and accommodating for the week he was with us for. The entire experience and hospitality was incredible. The booking process was smooth and I was kept up to date with everything with no issues at all. I really cannot recommend a better tour company than Kenia Tours if you are looking to go on a safari.

The best. That's it.
We had an absolutely stunning experience, traveling though Kenya and their National Parks with Malika Travel. Firstly, the people at the (small so VERY personal) office helped us find the perfect safari trip for us. Secondly, we got ourselves a driver who appeared to be very very good in his job. Driving us safely through the rough roads of Kenya, showing us all the beautiful spots AND animals and telling us lots of interesting information and facts about it all. Till now, we didnt pay this amount of money for a trip. But also till now, we never had a trip worth the money we paid so much as this one. In our hearts forever. Thank you Malika.
