Truly Unbelievable African Adventure!
Brenda and Kakasii, owners of Tanzania Choice Safaris, did an amazing job putting this trip together and I couldn't be happier with the final outcome! Brenda was in constant communication before we left and I really appreciated her video-chatting with us ahead of time to go over the travel plans, touch base with us and answer all of our questions. She has a talent for organization and it definitely showed in how smoothly everything came together.
We started our trip by spending two nights at Kakasii's childhood home in Uswaa, which was an incredible experience. Meeting all of Brenda and Kakasii's friends and family, eating a traditional barbecue and being able to experience part of Tanzania that you would totally miss out on with a giant, impersonal tour company was truly a great way to start the trip and would have alone been worth the trip to Tanzania!
After that we completed a six-day Kilimanjaro climb. Brenda and Kakasii had us complete the climb with a guide named Festo and I couldn't be happier with how well he had the trip organized and the friendliness of the guides and porters. We ate each meal with the guides and learned so much about local Tanzanian politics, customs and daily life. Festo clearly knows what he's doing and safely got us all to the summit, even when none of our group had previous high-altitude experience!
Kakasii was our safari guide for a five-day safari to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Kakasii is so friendly and social that I don't think we ever stopped laughing with him, which was tough to do since we were all so tired from the climb! He has so much experience going on safaris that it clearly showed. We were able to see so many amazing animals standing just feet from our car that it was really more than I could have hoped for. We saw leopards lounging in trees, huge herds of wildebeests, a lioness with a dead wildebeest staring down a male buffalo, a cheetah with two cubs and all of that is just scratching the surface. Kakasii and Brenda have developed relationships with all the hotel/lodge owners that we stayed with so we were always treated exceptionally well and stayed in some truly beautiful locations.
Brenda and Kakasii could not have been more helpful in providing such an amazing experience and I really cannot recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris enough! Thank you again for such an unforgettable trip!

The Crater
Had a wonderful experience. Loved seeing all of the animals. The views were fabulous with all of the terrain differences. Thanks for a great experience. Our guide was so helpful with information and no questions were left unanswered. I would choose them again!

Friendly, professional, efficient
I can't say enough good things about Umubano. They answered all my questions pre the tour, the pick-up in Kigali was efficient, the driver friendly and the accommodation near the park was clean and warm. All at a very reasonable price. And, of course, seeing the gorillas was a mindblowing, once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommended.

Perfect safari experience and reseanable price
We have taken a three-day safari tour with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris visiting Amboseli and Tsavo West. It was an amazing experience for us. As the migration hasn't started yet, there are not many tourists during this period but we were lucky spot lions and leopards during the trip. The camp and lodge are above our expectations, esp the camps which are so nicely built and clean. We love all the food provided during the trip too. Our driver is very nice and kind, without whose help we would not be able to see so many animals. I will definitely recommend going with Kenya Walking Survivors

Great Trip & Great People
Everything about Kanuth Adventure Safaris was first class from the time that we requested a quote until we departed on our flight back home. The entire team (Jesca, Joseph, Nicolas, & Kanuth) were very hospitable and made us feel very comfortable while we were so far from home in a place we had never been to.
Jesca was very nice and prompt with our communication even with a 7 hour time difference which made the booking process a breeze. Joseph was very knowledgeable during the safari and took the time to provide us with information about what we were seeing that made the experience more complete. Nicolas cooked wonderful food every day that really was well beyond our expectations for a safari.
A quick example of customer service with this group. I accidentally left my wallet in the safari jeep when we took off to Zanzibar for extended vacation. The group found the wallet and was waiting at the airport in Dar Es Salaam ready to hand it to me when I returned. I was extremely relieved and grateful.
Wonderful people!

Highly recommended!
For anyone interested in a genuine safari experience look no further. We (a Swedish family of four) left Botswana with fantastic memories thanks to Sage, Tula, Moses and Lee. Super-nice guys to be around. Prior expectations were high but they were all met 100%. Everything perfectly organised from start to finish. We were treated to a well thought-out programme during our five days in the bush. The tents very comfortable and the superb food a far cry from what we manage when tenting on our own here in Sweden. Liked the way BT had planned the trip. It involved a crescendo of experiences. After the long plane journey we started off with a slow and serene mokoro-trip and ended up 5 days later in the game-filled and scenic part of the delta called Khwai. Game-drives with Sage constantly rewarding due to his deep knowledge, respectful attitude towards the animals, patience in answering our questions and friendly demeneour. Add to that a good sense of humour and an eyesight that dumbfounded us time and time again. So let me end where I started: Highly recommended!

Excellent Safari - Absolutely recommendable!!!
My safari at Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater with friends was awesome. Apart from seeing the big 5, experiencing the impressive Tanzanian nature and getting an adventurous feeling, it was fun being around with our guides Freddy and Adam. Both are so welcoming and really know the corners to go. Good job! Working as a volunteer in Tanzania I know, how important the support of vulnerable groups is. Shemeji-Safari is giving part of its profit for education and trainings for Maasai women, which made me feel even better during my safari. All in all we had gorgeous days and we definitely would book them again!
Awesome!!!! It was really a beautiful experience,looking at beautiful scenery, esp the mountains,etc
Communication was excellent, Fredrick was always available n fast at replying emails not to forget the driver he was so excellent

Best holidays ever...and we will for sure come back
Our entire Safari-tour was a fantastic outstanding experience that we never will forget in our lives. We even had the “must come back” feeling at the end of the tour, and we will do it. All was very well organized, from the beginning and we always felt safe and comfortable. From the first contact with Roger, we felt the professionalism and the service orientation with an amazing quick answers that made us feel at ease at all points. Great job Roger!

We spent two weeks in Botswana, first part was a fly-in safari and the second part a mobile safari. We loved both amazing experiences... but must said that in the mobile safari we felt much closer to the Bush. The guide and staff were amazing knowledgeable of the nature.
Thanks to Roger and the Safari Lifestyles team for having made this holiday trip a real adventure and outstanding experience, we recommend them without hesitation!
