A seamless experience from start to finish, with excellent planning and attentive service throughout
Our Tanzania safari was an incredible experience, made truly special by the thoughtful planning and care behind it.
Anna deserves special mention for turning our last-minute plans into a seamless and well-organised safari. From the thoughtfully selected accommodation and well-planned itinerary to arranging additional sightseeing during our free time, she made sure every detail was taken care of.
Rashid was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made every safari drive enjoyable and memorable.
A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Thank you, Anna and Rashid and the whole Serengeti Insider Safari Team for making our Serengeti and Ngorongoro adventure so memorable! 🇹🇿

Awesome
I can't praise David highly enough for his thorough attention to detail while looking after us, excellent from dawn to dusk and a few BBQ skills as well so we did not go hungry! We saw all Big five and up close, testament to David's patience in finding them!! NKuhlu in particular was a specular camp with the beautiful beasts coming to say hello. I'd highly recommend David for a fantastic experience!!!

Stunning trip in Africa
Trip with guide David was amazing overall.
Thanks to David's 18 year experiences, we watched all the Big 5 in 2hours after arrived in Masai mara.
His guide was super detail and interesting.
Also he made our tour group very close, so we can have best time during car, and hotel.
It was honor to join this tour, I would recommend it to everyone.

A very excellent and kind person
The price was very reasonable, and the accommodation was better than I expected. I applied for a 6-day tour, and it was a very good and happy experience. In particular, the driver David was an incredibly skilled safari guide, with excellent driving skills, eloquence, and a very good driver who found good spots and provided convenience. Thanks to him, I was able to enjoy the safari.

Trip of a lifetime
We booked a safari through Tanzania Choice Safaris for our honeymoon in September 2026. It ended up being the trip of a lifetime and we’d book again with them in a heartbeat.
Brenda and her team were very helpful and responsive during the planning process. She listened closely on the planning call to what was important to us. From there, we basically sat back and relaxed as they planned an amazing trip, all we had to do was show up.
We are convinced that our safari guide, Leslie, is the BEST guide driving around out there. He has a deep knowledge of the wildlife and had an answer to all of the countless questions we asked throughout the trip. He is also extremely skilled at maneuvering the Land Cruiser into ideal positions for wildlife viewing. Even when there were 10+ cars parked trying to see the same leopard, lions, rhinos, elephants, etc, Leslie always managed to get us into a position where we had a clear view of the action without ever feeling like we were disturbing the animals or blocking the views of other cars on safari. It was truly impressive.
There was one moment in the Serengeti where he heard over the radio that there was a leopard, so we drove over and found 20 vehicles already stopped trying to get a glimpse of a Leopard walking through tall grass. Leslie asked us to trust him and drove about 200 meters down the road where there were no vehicles and we stopped in front of a tree that he thought looked promising. Five minutes later, the leopard emerged from the bush and stalked right past our car. We were blown away and the rest of the vehicles rushed over. We felt very lucky to have been parked there, but in reality, it was Leslie’s skill as a guide that got us such an up close encounter. And as if that wasn’t enough, we happened to be parked right in front of two gazelles resting in the shade that we hadn’t noticed and had a front row view of the leopard leaping out and killing one of them for it’s meal. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
On top of Leslie’s skills as a guide, he is genuinely a kind and funny person. My wife and I both considered him a friend by the end of the trip and still miss him.
We went into the trip consciously trying to limit our expectations about what we would see and just be happy with whatever the bush decided to show us. We went home with a camera roll filled with every type of a wildlife and animal behavior you could imagine when thinking about an African safari. I’m waiting on a response from David Attenborough to narrate because I swear we have enough footage to sell a full length wildlife documentary to National Geographic.
A safari trip is not cheap, but we feel that our money was well spent. Truly the trip of a lifetime and I’m worried future travel will never feel the same due to the high-bar set by Leslie, Brenda, and the whole Tanzania Choice Safari team. If we ever make it back to Tanzania, I have no doubt we will book through Tanzania Choice Safaris again and I’d encourage anyone reading this to work with them if you want to ensure you have an unforgettable trip to Tanzania.

Responsive, friendly, and flexible
I went with Extra View Safaris on a Mokoro Day Trip in the Okavango Delta near Maun, and overall I was happy with the service.
From the beginning, they were extremely responsive, kind, and friendly. I contacted every operator offering this type of tour, and I found communication with Extra View Safaris to be much easier than with any of the others. They were also very flexible with me despite my booking being made at short notice.
The staff were friendly and professional. They provided sufficient drinking water throughout the trip as well as two soft drinks. The vehicle was in good condition and comfortable, and the driver was good.
The only thing I would have changed was the lunch. I was served a hamburger and fries, which is normally a nice meal to have, but not when packed in the morning for lunch later on.
Overall, I appreciated the communication, flexibility, and friendly service from Extra View Safaris. I would do other tours with them if I had more time in Maun.

Papa John went above and beyond to provide us with a great safari experience!
Jocky Tours was consistently promoted with their email communication, answering all of my questions before I even arrived in Kenya. They handled all the logistics for the safari in advance, which made for an stress-free experience.
Papa John was our driver and guide throughout the 7 day safari, and he was excellent. He was always on time, conscientious about our safety, and respectful of the wildlife we encountered. He worked hard to make sure we got to see the Big Five, which made the trip truly memorable.
At one point, I had a mix-up with my accommodation, and Papa John immediately jumped in and resolved it. That kind of responsiveness made a real difference to our overall experience.
