Phenomenal.
We used Adventures in Tanzania for both our Kili climb and our safari. What an incredibly experience for both! The teams were accommodating, easy going, friendly and welcoming. They welcomed our crazy ideas and changes of plans (such as summiting and descending directly to Mweka Gate in the same day, thus ending our Kili trip a day early!). Ending our climb early meant we had more days to safari, and they easily accommodated that desire. We ended up with a 8 day safari, and our days were packed full of the parks. We would start by 7 or 7:30am and rarely had time in the evenings to do anything besides eat dinner, shower and sleep - all available time was spent looking for animals and exploring the amazing parks, which is what we wanted. The food for both the climb and the safari were fantastic. Lodges and camps were great. We had some hiccups along the way, including a flat tire that the Maasai tribe helped to change, but every situation was handled was ease. Both teams - Stanley and Felix and crew on the mountain, and Geoff and John in the bush - made this an unforgettable experience. John was a great driver and animal spotter, and negotiated with the locals when I would desire souvenirs - the most memorable is when he pulled over on the side of the road to negotiate for foraged honey from the Maasai. Tanzania is a beautiful and welcoming country, and I hope to be back one day!

Professional safari with a lovely guide
We had a wonderful 2days safari in the Ruaha National Park. Great weather and we were lucky with seeing many animals. Also the food was delicious, we had very cool lodges and our guide was very kind :) i highly recommend.

Magical 3 Days in Maasai Mara - Best Guide Ever!
We didn’t really know what to expect from a safari, but from start to finish, communication was clear, every question we had was answered, and we let Sir Charles, our guide, literally and figuratively take the wheel. Charles is knowledgable and friendly, and he is clearly well-known and well-loved by the other guides, the reserve staff, and the local Maasai people. He helped two other drivers who got stuck in the mud, and everyone greeted him with a smile and a thumbs up. Our camp was simple and comfortable with great food and kind, helpful staff. Axis made our first safari fun, easy, and full of adventure—highly recommend!

Amazing!
Man, that is a complete day! 7am arrival (Terry was right on time!), followed by transport to the Botswana border where we quickly got our passports stamped and switched over to the Safari vehicle with guide Baits! Baits pointed out all the would be expected sightings plus a water monitor and sable antelope. We transferred to the lovely five star lodge for lunch on the river (they had reserved the best table on the floor)- lunch was great by the way, load up on the beef! The boat cruise was incredibly relaxing, tons of water lilies, swiming elephants and a knowledgeable guide (he gave his name but I forgot it, sorry!). The trip concluded with Ben taking as home and continuing the safari as he pointed out a number of local spots for seeing game. He also shared some local music (at our request!)
Great time- the locals (from Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana) all take great pride in their parks, and genuinely are thrilled to share them, and very curious about what brought you here! Book it you won’t regret it.

Very well organized, very reliable and extremely knowledgeable about the area
The trip was very well organized, timely pick-up, very friendly staff accomodating all our wishes, extremely knowledgeable guide who shared many interesting details on plants and animals in the area, fantastic three-course meals, comfortable tents with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers. Our five-day safari in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve was a great experience with lots of interesting animal sightings thanks to the experience and passion of our guide. I would highly recommend this Travel agency to anyone interested in exploring Botswana.

Great Amboseli & Maasai Mara experience. Thanks to James and Steve for making it special
Our trip to Amboseli and the Maasai Mara was wonderful, and a big part of that was thanks to James and Steve. They were patient, knowledgeable, and communicated so well throughout the journey. They took extra effort to make sure we explored everything to the fullest, and their guidance and kindness made every day special. We couldn’t have asked for better people to show us the beauty of these places

Ben was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating.
I researched a lot of different tour companies for my wife and I's honeymoon. It was our first time ever doing a safari and our first time ever in Tanzania. Tanzania Choice made our experience absolutely seamless. From the moment we landed, we were met by our amazing tour guide, Ben. He brought us straight to our hotel in Arusha that night, and we went on our 4-day safari after that. Ben was an amazing tour guide who genuinely loves what he does and was just as interested in finding and watching the animals as we were. All our accommodations we were brought to were comfortable and had excellent food. We especially enjoyed the Central Serengeti Bush Camp. There's no way to properly express how much we were able to see. We chose to do a shorter safari than most might but were still able to see so much in those 4 days at Ngorogoro Crater, Ndutu, and the Serengeti. Brenda was able to organize a flight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar, where we spent the remainder of our honeymoon, which no other company I researched was able to do. When we went to Zanzibar, I messaged Brenda with 1 day notice before we flew over there to see if their Zanzibar staff could bring us on some excursions. They were very easily able to organize this for us and even pick us up from the airport in Zanzibar for much cheaper than our hotel was charging for transport. The excursions in Zanzibar were awesome too and our guide in Zanzibar was also extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
Bottom line is that Tanzania Choice was fantastic and well worth the money we spent. If and when we ever go back to do another safari in Tanzania, we will absolutely book with them again.

Amazing
Incredible experience!! Everything went amazing and we saw a lot of animals. Gudilah was super helpfull in organising the trip and with everything we needed. Our guide machete has a lot of experience in the field and was always in the right places at the right time. Also Rama took us to kilimanjaro and it was a beautiful walk. I can only say good things about this trip!

Totally professional, so well organised, prepared to go above and beyond to make our safari perfect.
We had the time of our lives on our 7 day safari. Both lodges, Zarafa and Tomo were beautiful, superb accommodation choices. The staff there were always friendly and welcoming. Meals were delicious. We saw so much wildlife in Kruger NP, and also at Balule. Trevor was a fun, interesting, informative tour guide while staying at Zarafa. Gareth, our guide in Tomo, kept us comfortable with his service, and did a great job tracking the wildlife for us. Amazing job done by Bev putting together such great itinerary. I highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours and Safaris!
