efficient, and good at logistics
They were good value, highly communicative, and flexible depending on your needs. By far the easiest experience I had with a provider which is why I went with them.

Did an amazing job
I did the tour in June with Tom and it was an amazing Trip. From Organisation to the Safari itself, everything was well planned. Tom was always on time and we could rely on him. He always did his best and made sure we have good memories. That’s why we saw all of the Big five (even the leopard). He took risks to make sure we have a good time and always explained everything about the animals, nature and the Masai Mara Organisation.
I highly recommend the tour.

Unforgettable safari with Madini – like traveling with a friend!
Our safari with Madini was an absolute highlight! From the very first moment, it didn't feel like a typical tour, but more like an outing with a good friend who wanted to introduce us to his homeland. Madini is an incredibly warm, attentive, and experienced guide who immediately addressed our every need – always with a smile and plenty of patience.
He also speaks both English and German, which made communication super pleasant. He gave us a wealth of fascinating information about the animals, landscape, and culture, while never losing his personal, relaxed approach.
The safari vehicle was also top-notch – very comfortable, technically sound, and perfectly suited for long journeys. What particularly impressed us: After each safari day, the vehicle was thoroughly cleaned, so we could get into a clean, tidy vehicle every morning. This shows how much Madini values quality and well-being.
Thank you for this wonderful time, Madini! It was more than just a safari – it was a true experience. A clear recommendation for anyone who wants to experience a personal, well-organized, and all-round beautiful safari!

Very good tour
We had a fantastic safari with Jocky Tours and our guide Dennis! He was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw some rare moments, like a leopard in a tree with hyenas below, and learned so much about the animals and the environment. Dennis always tried his best to meet our requests, and the whole trip was fun, educational, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Best safari experience!
Best safari experience!
About the company: excellent organization of the tour - everything is always on time, well-thought-out logistics and routes. Managers are always in touch, briefings are given before all activities. We lived in a campsite - very comfortable and atmospheric!
About the guides: Adam is the best guide!
We saw all the animals with him, he is sociable, attentive, and an excellent driver. Always provided us with the best viewing and photo spots.The soul of the company with a great sense of humor, he always took into account our wishes during the trip, answered a million questions, told a lot of interesting things.
I would especially like to mention the food during the trip - we always had freshly prepared homemade traditional food and dishes. Most companies give out tasteless lunch boxes.
For us, every meal was like a family dinner.
Thanks to our chef Pius for the super delicious food!
Adam, Pius, Suricata, thank you so much for an unforgettable trip!

Leslie was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, experienced, fun, helpful and friendly.
My husband and I joined our adult son for a weeklong northern Tanzania safari before he had a work commitment in Rwanda. We only had a few weeks to plan and our timing required us to go in early May, the end of the rainy season. Tanzania Choice Safaris was easy since Brenda, a cofounder, is an ex-pat. They created a great itinerary, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti that included plenty of the Big Five, especially lots of lions!, plus wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, impala, velvet monkey, gazelle, cheetah, jackal, baboon, eland, monitor lizard, hyena, warthog and others.
Tanzania Choice Safari found good accommodations to match our midrange budget. In Ngorongoro we stayed at the Serena Lodge where local Maasai performed. I was invited to dance with them!
By far, what made our Safari most exceptional was our fantastic guide Leslie. From the minute he greeted us at Mount Kilimanjaro Int’l with his great smile to his seeing us depart at the airport in the Serengeti… he took wonderful care of us. He gave us each our own water thermos, journal and pen. Leslie, with over 10 years of experience, was very knowledgeable about the animals and their habits, the landscapes, people and history of Tanzania. We learned much!
He found out I had an interest in birds and took care to always point out each “new bird”, showing me its picture in his well worn East African Bird book and often sharing more about their mating, nesting and other behaviors. I loved this about him and we had fun finding a “new bird” all week long.
Its supposedly harder to spot animals in the rainy season due to the tall grasses. But Leslie is a determined, exceptional guide and optimized our wildlife encounters. In Ngorongoro he suggested we depart from our lodge at 6 am to get down in the crater at sunrise. We were so pleased he got us there early because we caught a big pride of lions next to the road finishing up a kill from the night before.
He was very accommodating, setting up lovely picnics, answering all our questions, very kind and just a lot of fun.
We felt like we won the lottery with Leslie. I teared up when hugging him goodbye. We will always hold a special place in my heart for this trip and for Leslie.

Excellent and highly recommend
We’ve extremely enjoyed the gorilla Trecking tour, made banana beer at the community centre (Red rocks Rwanda in Nyakinama), and Kigali city tour etc, included our spontaneous requests.
Our driver, Abu, has hospitality. Our journey was fun, lots of new learnings, always felt safe and comfortable.
