Responsive, polite, and always trying his best to meet our needs
Sales representative Kusekwa added us on WeChat and was very responsive throughout the itinerary planning process, doing his best to accommodate all our requests at a reasonable price. We didn’t hesitate to book their 6-day safari package.
Our guide, Geoffrey, has over 20 years of experience across multiple national parks and possesses extensive knowledge of regional wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we spotted most animal species within just the first two days—including leopards, cheetahs, and caracals. He was not only warm and approachable but also communicative and efficient, ensuring we stayed on schedule despite our tight itinerary.
The biggest surprise came on the final day: we witnessed the wildebeest crossing after only a three-hour wait! It was an absolutely breathtaking moment and the perfect end to an incredible safari experience.
I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our local hosts, James and Musa. Their expert driving skills ensured our safety and comfort throughout their the journey, while their deep tissue knowledge of the local areas—from Arusha to Zanzibar—greatly enriched our experience. They were quite helpful in coordinating activities, making our short stay both seamless and memorable.

Incredible experience with exceptional guide and chef
The experience with SL was amazing, Raymond was very responsive via emails and made sure we were prepared for the experience. The days on the safari are long and tiring and the guide truly made sure we experienced as much as possible. Without his knowledge and dedication we were able to see the Mara river crossing and rhinos. The camping was comfortable and the lodge we stayed at was better than expected.

A family business with excellent service!
We visited Zanzibar, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Oludvai Gorge, and Serengeti National Park on an 11-day itinerary arranged by Tanzania Choice Safaris. From the very beginning of the planning all the way through to the end of the trip, the customer service was top-notch and everything went off without a hitch. At every step, we were met on time at the correct location by the team and had a seamless experience.
We chose Tanzania Choice Safaris on a recommendation from a friend who traveled with them a few years ago. We started out by consulting on the itinerary with Brenda, the American owner, who lives in Tanzania with her family. Brenda was extremely responsive and asked lots of questions to ensure that she was customizing an itinerary that worked for our interests. Brenda has good connections with third-party operators and suggested incorporating a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti into the itinerary, which hadn’t occurred to us, but was one of the highlights of the trip. She was communicative leading up to the trip, ensuring we applied for our visas in plenty of time and even alerting us that sometimes payments on the government visa site were unsuccessful. When we encountered that very problem, Brenda paid our visa fees directly and we reimbursed her.
The trip itself was magical! We started in Zanzibar, recovering from the jet lag. We only had a couple of days there, which was plenty, and enjoyed visiting the Jozani Forrest to see the red colobuses monkeys. However, the best part of the trip was on the mainland visiting the parks. Our guide was Brenda’s nephew Noel and I can honestly say that I think we got one of the best guides in Tanzania. He was so knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife, constantly going above and beyond to make sure that we got to see everything we wanted to (and even things we didn’t know we wanted to see!) and answering every question we had about the animals and the environment. Other guides were asking for his advice and commenting on his skillful driving in some pretty rough terrain. Noel was amazing at spotting wildlife before other guides, meaning in a couple of cases we were the first or only ones on the scene to see some pretty cool things like a family of lions lounging in the tall grass, and he even somehow spotted a serval in the grass just off the road, which are apparently really rare to see.
Noel was not only good at finding the sights we wanted to see, but also good at positioning the jeep for the best views and photos once we were there. For example, one thing we really wanted to see was the wildebeest herds crossing the Mara river, which is something that just happens on the animals’ timetable and really can’t be planned. Noel understood the animals’ behavior and terrain well enough and had the patience to wait in the correct location long enough to give us the best shot at seeing it - and we did!
Overall, wonderful experience. We highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris, especially if you want to work with a smaller tour operator that will give you customized service.

Well organised and the driver made a difference
The safari was very well organized, everything on time, the accommodation was excellent for a budget safari and the staff in each camp treated us very kindly. Chesi was always attentive to solve our doubts through WhatsApp and guide us in the process. The only thing we missed was that they warned us that for paying with a credit card at the office they would charge us a fee.
Joseph - our driver - deserves a special mention. He is an excellent driver, exceptionally friendly, responsible, punctual and always committed to taking us to special places where we could see the best of the parks. A very patient man and it shows that he loves his work because of the dedication he employs.

A caring man who tried his utmost to provide the best safari he could for his clients
ETA provided excellent service from assisting us to make the correct booking to collecting us from the airport and transporting us to our hotel to collection the following morning to begin our safari.
No problems were encountered. Hotels chosen were superb.
Our tour guide, John, was very experienced and assisted us 24/7 and nothing was a problem. His knowledge is extensive with regard to mammals.
Exceptionally knowledgeable and enthusiastic
Shadrach was an excellent safari guide. He provided clear, detailed explanations about every animal we saw, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. His knowledge and professionalism stood out throughout the trip, and his sense of humor kept us engaged the entire time. I would definitely book with him again and recommend others do the same.
