Trip of a Lifetime!
Wow! We had a fantastic time in Africa thanks to Brenda and Noel. TCS came recommended to us by a friend who had gone with them himself and had recommended them many times to others who had wonderful experiences also. We strongly agree! Everything from the planning and booking to the in-country logistics was very well-organized. We felt very well cared for and safe. They clearly have a lot of experience and local knowledge and contacts that make for a very nice trip for their guests. We would definitely go with them again and highly recommend them!
Brenda did a fantastic job transforming our "wish list" into a real life adventure. We wanted to do both a classic animal safari and some cultural tourism experiences. She worked with us over several months to fine tune our itinerary. She provided invaluable help when we failed to get our Tanzania visas in time. She responded promptly to emails and was always pleasant to deal with. She ultimately crafted an itinerary that really fit what we were hoping for quite well.
We especially enjoyed our day in Mto wa Mbu where we went with a local guide who shared a variety of local cultural experiences with us (banana plantation, rice plantation, primary school, art/painting studio, traditional wood carving, mbege (local banana beer), and local cuisine for lunch). We also really liked our 2 day stay at Africa Amini Maasai Lodge where we stayed in a modernized Maasai hut and learned about Maasai culture through hands-on experiences, such as spear-throwing and enjoying barbequed meat around the campfire. We even got to take a mountain bike ride with a Maasai warrior!
Noel was our primary guide throughout our stay and we can't say enough good things about him! Not only was he a top-notch professional safari guide, but he was also incredibly warm, friendly, caring and funny. When it comes to a trip like this the safari guide makes all the difference and Noel made this really special for us. He found so many animals and birds and was so knowledgeable about animal behavior, mating, gestation, etc. And he got us incredibly close to so many animals! We saw much more than we ever imagined. We watched a baby zebra being born and taking its first steps, a mother cheetah and her 2 juveniles stalking gazelles, a lioness hunting zebra, and countless mothers and babies! He planned every day's game drive to maximize our animal sightings. He clearly enjoys his job and it was so enjoyable to see him get excited along with us. His experience and judgement seemed to be highly respected by the other guides. Additionally, we saw a huge variety of birds and somehow Noel knew every species!
Overall Tanzania Choice Safaris gave us the trip of a lifetime that we were hoping for and that exceeded even our greatest expectations!

A Life-Changing Safari Experience with Spirit of Kenya
My wife and I booked a 7-day private Kenya–Tanzania safari through Spirit of Kenya, and it was absolutely exceptional. Gerardo was outstanding—organized, patient, and proactive in handling every detail, from the itinerary and border logistics to hotel coordination.
Our guides, Dominic (Kenya) and Lawrence (Tanzania), were true professionals: warm, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems. We saw the Big Five multiple times, enjoyed a balloon safari, and had wonderful cultural visits along the way.
The accommodations were fantastic—especially Nimali Serengeti, which exceeded all expectations and even surprised us with an anniversary cake. The level of care and hospitality everywhere we stayed, including Amani Mara and Pakulala, was remarkable.
Spirit of Kenya delivered a smooth, safe, and unforgettable experience. We’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a luxury-level safari with personal touches that make it truly memorable.

unforgettable trip to Kenya
My wife and I spent a week exploring Kenya, and it turned out to be one of the best trips we’ve ever taken. We started in Naivasha, where the air feels fresh and calm, and the views are simply breathtaking. From there, we made our way to the Masai Mara. I still can’t believe how much wildlife we saw in just a few days. Watching the Big Five in their natural habitat was magical.
We arranged everything through Constance Adventures Tours and Travel. They took care of us from the very beginning. The safari car was comfortable and reliable, and our driver was more than just a driver. He was a guide, a storyteller, and someone who clearly loves his country. His knowledge of the parks and animals made every moment special.
After the thrill of the safari, we spent a few quiet days in Mombasa. The beaches were beautiful and warm, the kind of place that makes you forget the time. Kenya has such a unique energy. Every place feels alive in its own way.
I can honestly say it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Constance Adventures made it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. We’re already talking about when we can come back.

Amazing Safari - excellent tour guide!
Our three-day safari with Shadrach was absolutely amazing! We did the full experience – evening drive, full-day tour, and morning drive – and we truly saw everything: lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalo, and so much more. It was a dream come true and an unforgettable adventure!
Shadrach was an outstanding guide – incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and their behavior, and he explained everything with passion and clarity. His humor and enthusiasm made every moment special. We always felt safe, inspired, and well taken care of. I would go on another safari with him anytime – highly recommended! 🌿🦓🦒 And his most beloved animals became ours too: IMPALAAAA :)

Out of business do not book
Now I know who Gabriel is... upon receiving an email addressed to him, I had the exact same situation... although I received the dear Gabriel email only 3 days before my trip was supposed to start, and I was already half way to Nairobi... and there were 4 of us, so we lost $21,000!
we paid the deposit by credit card in October of 2024, and sadly I didn't revisit the reviews before making the final payment... I wanted tp save
the $600 credit card fee, so I wired the balance due, hopefully my trip insurance will come to the rescue...
On the day of our scheduled departure, I contacted another company and paid them for a trip they set up for us that same day. They really saved us. That company was Twiga, and I highly recommend them.

ExcelFriendly knowledgeable staff who are brilliant at what they do.
We booked a 3 day camping safari staying at Dumela Camp in tented ensuite accommodation. Our hosts Ian & Lisa were charming and nothing was too much trouble to ensure an amazing experience with them. We were picked up by the excellent Theodore from Johannesburg airport and taken to Dumela for a light lunch before we embarked on our afternoon safari. Goodman and Wisdom were fantastic guides - we got up close to a family of cheetahs, saw lots of elephants, giraffes, and other game and followed a white rhino to a watering hole where there was also a crocodile.
After a tasty evening meal back at Dumela, we retired to our very comfortable and well equipped tent with a/c, charging points, excellent shower. The bed was so comfortable and the sheets were really luxurious. We were worried about finding the tent full of wildlife, but it was spotless, bug-free and very secure. Being able to hear the animals during the night made us feel really close to nature.
Our full day safari started at 0530 with the exceptional Evance as our guide - he made what could have been a very long day on dirt track roads simply fly by with his stories and knowledge of the bush. He was determined to find all of the big 5 for us - we even had the privilege of seeing a leopard relaxing in a tree at the side of the road.
Theodore was once again our driver on the return drive back to Johannesburg which included the optional Panorama Tour. This tour took us to several spectacular scenic sights: Blyde River Canyon, Three Rondavels, Bourke's Luck Potholes, Lisbon Falls and God's Window. Theodore was mindful of striking a balance between allowing us time to see the sights but also getting back to Johannesburg in time for flights to onward destinations. He was able to tell us information about each of the locations we visited.
We packed A LOT into a short space of time, but it was amazing. If you are short on time, but looking for adventure on a budget, this is definitely the tour to book.
