High Levels of Integrity and great communication
Gorilla trekking is the highlight of any trip to Uganda but requires significant preparatory working especially in securing the right permits on the right day.
Edison excelled at this letting us know about availability and cost and talking us through the application process. The permits are payable in advance in full and it take confidence to send the funds to someone you have never met but Edison's reputation and integrity made this a smooth process. On the morning of the trek, Amanya picked us up from out =r lodge and organised the admin and which group we'd be trekking. Be aware they don't come on the trek with you as it's limited to 8 people per group

Friendly, lots of Knowledge, helpful, and respectful.
The hole trip was amazing from the start, we loved the safari lodges where we stayed, they exceeded our expectations. Our driver was so considerate and always aware of our needs. The safari’s were full of exciting moments. A pride of lions will always be a memory 9 in total
5 cheetahs, herds of elephants, as well as May birds, We went to Masai Mara lake Nakuru, Amboselli to mention a few. Altogether it was a trip we are not likely to forget. My son and his family are going their in August 2025 with Penfam.

First Class All the Way!
Every portion of this trip was seamless. From the pick up at the airport to the airport drop-off there were no hiccups and excellent service and value. Each safari guide was knowledgeable and their unique personality made for an different experience each day. The lodging was all first class, with excellent food, superior service and tremendous hospitality. We were part of a church mission trip and all aspects of our trip were superb.
The entire team at Tanzania Choice Safaris is dedicated to excellence and I offer my highest recommendation!

Exceptional Personalized concierge service.
It was truly white glove service!!! Our driver Obie is very nice and professional. We had challenges with our flights and arrived at JRO at 5am after traveling almost 48 hours. He welcomed us with a big goofy smile and was happy we arrived safely. Throughout our stay he remained committed and always on-time for our daily trips, showing us the great sites and majestic animals on the Serengeti. There was no language barrier and the Lodges/Fancy Tents were clean, warm and inviting. I plan to revisit and will use Benson Tours in the future.

Great….Awesome…
Obie, Obie Obie :) and Zab went out of their way to make the group happy. They were both knowledgeable about the Tanzanian culture and they knew exactly where some of the animals hang out.

Beyond thoughtful and attentive -- would book again and again!
We just got back from the honeymoon of our dreams!! Of course Tanzania is beautiful and the wildlife is awe inspiring, but it was truly the staff that made this trip top notch. Elius helped us from the start with booking and planning the perfect package. He kept in touch and answered our questions at all hours (I know this man is working crazy hours helping people across the world!!) all while being so thoughtful, thorough, and polite. Jessica greeted us in Arusha, bringing us gifts from Sassabi to make our trip even better. And our driver in Arusha, Frank, was very knowledgeable about the city and easy to talk to and joke with.
Then we were off to the Serengeti! Elius set us up with a flight there so that we could pack more safari time into our short trip — highly recommend that!!
Our wonderful driver Khalid picked us up from the airport in Seronera and was with us for the remainder of the trip. Khalid was kind and funny, the perfect guide for us. At times his difficulties with English made it hard to ask questions, but we all took it in stride and made the best of it. Khalid was a good driver and made sure we saw all the animals we were looking for. He always stopped at the best spots and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. The truck was comfortable, there were some potato chips and water on board, and lunches were always delicious.
Sassabi ensured that we were well informed of our itinerary so there were no unwanted surprises. They set us up in beautiful lodges and fantastic excursions. Some standouts for us were Acacia Serengeti Bliss tented Lodge and Serengeti Balloon Safaris hot air balloon.
Overall, this was the trip of a lifetime. If you’re unsure if it’s worth it or not sure who to book with — THIS is your sign!!! Book the trip!! Make the memories!!! You will not regret it.

Did exactly what was written on the tin (plus more)!
Mansoor was our guide in all three national parks (Ruaha, Mikumi & Nyerere) for 9 days. We camped with the Maasai, relaxed with a beer whilst the hyena's were only 50m or so away, watched the lion's tuck into a tasty zebra and sat meters away whilst the crocodiles slid silently into the water.
The canyon just outside of Iringa was impressive and certainly worth the stop. The walking safari with Didi was an experience not to be forgotton - whether it was him smoking the dried elephant poo, or him sticking his toe in it to test the temperature - all very informative in an amusing way.
We would thoroughly recommend African Pangolin Safaris as they went beyond what was promised. Mansoor was exchanging tips all the time with other guides to provide the best experience for us, persevering to find the animals in their natural habitat. He even arranged for our 14 year old son who had a birthday whilst camping with the Maasai to become chief for the morning and a surprise birthday cake appeared!

Highly recommended well-run safari tour
Me and my family went on a 10 day wildlife Safari in Serengeti National Park and Zanzibar beach tour and we had an absolutely excellent experience. From start to finish, the team was incredibly professional and well-organized. Our tour consultant Ibrahim, always responded promptly, listened to what we were mostly interested in seeing and worked with us to put together our itinerary. Our driver and guide Ali, was genuinely nice and friendly and took great care of us, trying his best to make sure we had a truly unforgettable safari adventure.
Highly recommend Dav Safaris for anyone looking for a seamless and well-run safari tour. I would definitely book with them again!

Excellent trip! Saw everything!
Booked this pretty last minute and totally stoked that there were still gorilla permits available for my trip! Ended up seeing everything I wanted to see (Gorillas, Monkeys, Chips). Guide was wonderful. Very knowledgable. Honestly, the thing I was most surprised with was the caliber of the lodging. Every hotel/lodge I stayed in was exemplary. Honestly, wish I had stayed more than 1 night in some of them because they were just that good.
Only tip I’d recommend, take more 10s and 20s USD and not change money because there really wasn’t any need for native currency and everyone wanted USD.
