Smooth ride up to Kruger
Our driver Tiyani was cheerful, informative, and helpful. We were whisked from Tambo to Hazyview with two pleasant short stops. Easy and comfortable. Wish the on-board wifi was a little more reliable.

Very happy and full of information
The tour of the parks and the accommodation in the mid-range tour were really really good. Our guide Melita was super friendly and reliable.
The communication from the airport to leaving for the parks was very difficult. We were picked up late from the airport and didn’t get a briefing for any information at the hotel.

Friendly, flexible and reliable, with knowledgeable guides who made our first safari straightforward
We did a 4-day safari with Josana Tours covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and had a really good experience.
It was our first time booking a safari, so we weren’t completely sure what to expect. Quite a lot of the organisation was done informally over WhatsApp, which we were a little nervous about at first, but everything worked out absolutely fine. Communication was good, pricing was clear and they made the whole process very straightforward.
They were also really flexible. We decided quite late that we wanted to do a hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara and they managed to arrange it for us, which ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. They also organised our hotel and airport transfers, which made things much easier.
Charles and Dennis were both excellent guides — friendly, knowledgeable and really keen to make sure we got the most out of the safari. We did have a vehicle breakdown which meant one of our days in Nakuru was cut a bit short, but it was handled efficiently and they went out of their way to make up for the lost time the following day.
We saw pretty much everything we had hoped to see, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, black rhino, elephants and giraffes. The accommodation and food were also both very good throughout.
Overall, we thought it was great value for money and would definitely recommend Josana Tours, particularly if it’s your first safari and you want someone to make the whole process easy and well organised.

The best driver in the Mara, James Gichina
James was the best driver we could’ve had. Was very friendly and kind!
We turned up for a 3 hour game drive and managed to see so much. The best driver in Masai Mara by far!

Very professional, responsive, helpful and experimented
The tour was very responsive via either email or WhatsApp. The service provided was exactly as described in their offer, the mid budget certainly matched our expectations at least, if not exceeded. Extremely good value for money. We were fortunate enough to see the big 5 in less than 3 hours so our experienced is biased but nonetheless spectacular.
The guide David was very experimented, reactive, quick, knowledgeable and funny. Definitely recommend going with him if you can.

One of the Best Family Experiences We’ve Ever Had
We had an amazing time with Tanzania Choice Safaris. Brenda spent weeks going back and forth via email to get our trip perfected. Our guide and driver, Kakasii, has decades of experience and it really showed. He took us through incredible parts of Ngorongoro and made the entire experience easy, fun, and educational for our family.
We saw everything we had hoped to see and more, including hippos, black and white rhinos, zebras, ostriches, elephants, flamingos, and many other animals.
One of the most unforgettable moments was watching a lion eating a zebra while a jackal cautiously tried to sneak in for a bite.
Kakasii took great care of us throughout the trip, including providing boxed lunches and arranging a wonderful picnic in the park.
We stayed at Lemala Osonjoi Lodge near the Ngorongoro crater, where the food was fantastic, and we loved ending the evenings sitting around the fire.
Our kids learned so much and had such a great time that they wanted to go back into the park again the next day, which they did. This was truly one of the best tours and family trips we have ever taken. We would absolutely recommend Tanzania Choice Safaris and Kakasii and Brenda to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
The trip was easy for us since we are American but live in Rwanda.

Highly recommended Erimpala ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our safari with Erimpala was truly unforgettable. From the moment we met the team, their warm hospitality, genuine kindness, and attentive care made us feel completely welcome and in safe hands. As a trustworthy Maasai safari company, they created an experience that was both seamless and deeply personal.
Eric, our game drive guide, was amazing. As a Maasai man who knows safari from the roots, he shared deep knowledge of the wildlife, nature, and land, making every game drive even more fascinating and meaningful.
The wildlife encounters were extraordinary. We completed the Big Five on our very first day, then went on to see rhinos, male and female lions, a cheetah, and even a leopard with her cub. Every sighting felt magical, and these unforgettable moments will stay with me forever.
I’m incredibly grateful to the ErimPala team for making our safari so special. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking with them—you’ll experience exceptional hospitality, expert guidance, and wildlife memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
