Kakasii is King of the Safari Guides!
Tanzania Choice Safaris worked with us to create a safari itinerary that perfectly fit our safari experience requests. Brenda reworked our itinerary more than once to fit our requests. Kakasii was with us for our entire safari, staying at the bush camp with us. He took us to different areas each day, and we were in the vehicle all day looking at God’s beautiful creation. Amazing up-close and personal views of animals that we only see in a zoo in the US. Putting his years of tour operator experience to work, Kakasii would expertly place our vehicle right in the path of lions, zebras, elephants, and even more animals. These animals would walk right in front of our parked vehicle and practically pose for photos. I know I keep saying amazing, but it truly was AMAZING! The other guides knew and respected Kakasii, as they would share information along the way about animal locations.
I would be remiss if I failed to brag on the accommodations, which exactly fit our requests. Our tents at the Korongo Luxury Camp were truly luxurious. They were closer to luxury cottages than tents. The shower had better water pressure than ours at home, and the living area was so comfortable. The king sized bed was heavenly! We slept so well. The food was top-notch, every single meal. We were so spoiled! There were no fences to keep animals out, but we felt safe. An escort after dark was just a walkie-talkie call away. The animals really don’t want to mess with humans. However, it was cool to hear them nearby. I felt safe, and I didn’t expect to.
Our day in the Ngorongoro Crater was pure magic! It felt like Noah had emptied the ark right there in that hole. Everywhere we looked, we saw beauty and God’s majesty. We saw large groups of animals living side by side, zebras, baboons, elephants, gazelles, lions, rhinos, hippos, etc. What a day! Imagine our joy as we watched 3 mother lionesses walk right in front of us with their 6 cubs! We could not have scripted a better day looking at animals. It was like Kakasii knew our safari checklist, and he fulfilled it.
I highly recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris. You won’t regret going with an experienced company that knows how to make the most of your safari dollars.
Professional and very friendly
I was traveling to Uganda for work and was excited to have an opportunity to extend my time for a 3-day experience to see mountain gorillas (a bucket list wish!) and more of the country outside of Kampala. I chose this tour because it was locally owned, ethical and conservation-focused, very well priced, offered a short option (3-day) that fit my timeline, and had strong reviews on multiple platforms. The experience exceeded my expectations! My driver Eddie was professional and very friendly the entire trip. He kept us on schedule to the minute throughout the experience from pick up to drop off and made sure I was comfortable the entire time.
The booking process was easy and communication was consistent throughout. I appreciate that EAJS offers options for every part of the trip. For lodging, I chose the mid-range package and was blown away by the beautiful accommodations and views in Bwindi and on Lake Bunyonyi. The lodges were very comfortable and every plate of food was delicious. Every aspect of this package is curated with the guest experience in mind and to ensure you truly see and enjoy Uganda. Each person I met along the way was so friendly and welcoming.
Seeing the gorillas was a life changing experience! The rangers and park experience made it clear that the gorillas' safety and boundaries were most important, and we were still able to get within meters of the Happy family -- 3 silverbacks! Just incredible.
I cannot recommend this trip enough; you have to experience it! Don't think twice about this, book with EAJS!
Amazing service....
Everything was perfect. The communication, the service, the human touch. Moses was amazing and he went out of the way to make sure our stay was pleasant and we could enjoy our safari to the full extent.

Incredible - Kiliclimb goes above and beyond
We chose Kiliclimb based on a friend's recommendation from a previous experience, and they did not disappoint. Kiliclimb delivered above and beyond expectations for our 7 day Kilimanjaro hike along the Machame route.
For our lively group of seven 30 year-olds, the 29 Kiliclimb guides, porters and staff kept our spirits up with fun, positive energy, reliable gear, and some of the best food we've ever had while camping.
Above all, the Kiliclimb team knew how to deliver results day in and day out, especially on summit day. The team held an unwavering professional and positive attitude through all conditions.
We felt very fortunate to be in their care and would strongly recommend Kiliclimb to groups looking for a lively team that's more than just a guide.
Incredible from start to finish. Kiliclimb is building a special recipe for success!

Friendly, reliable and helpful!
The owner of the company was a kind gentleman. He knew his job and was very efficient. He was very flexible with our schedule as it kept changing from time to time.
He provided great service when it came to communication and suggesting activities to do around the city. The tour itself was tremendous as we had a private tour and the driver (Richard) was very knowledgeable.

Great guide and fantastic Safari in Nairobi
We had a great experience with Kichaka Tours during our half-day safari in Nairobi National Park, which we arranged due to a long layover in Nairobi between flights.
The communication with Mercy during the booking process was clear and smooth, and they were very flexible with the timing when Kenya Airways rebooked our flight.
Before the safari, we visited the Giraffe Centre, which was a great start to the day.
Our safari guide, Richard, was excellent. He shared great explanations about the park, the animals, and the highlights along the way. He also made a real effort to find the best spots for wildlife viewing and photography.
We were incredibly lucky and managed to see almost all the animals we hoped for, including cheetah, lion, hippo, rhino, giraffe, buffalo, and jackals.
After the safari, we also got a quick city tour of Nairobi before being dropped off at the airport, which was a very nice way to end the experience.
Overall, a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend!
