Experienced
My partner and I did a private 5 day tour with Jocky Tours. Eric in the office helped with organising it and planning the right route for us.
Issac was our experienced tour guide and he was a pleasure. Driving with him, we always felt safe and he happily answered my never ending barrage of questions. He was very knowledgeable about all the animals, birds and plants
Highly recommend

Outstanding!
My son and I traveled from Alaska, United States to Tanzania to join Tanzania Choice Safari on a safari to Tarangire National Park. I can not speak highly enough of the amazing experience we had start to finish!
The owners of Tanzania Choice Safari, Kakasii and Brenda, were tremendously accommodating, knowledgable and helpful with every aspect of our safari. They listened to what we wanted out of our safari and tailored a perfect, budget targeted trip that exceeded all of my expectations.
Brenda helped me all along the way from tickets to visas to accommodations and transportation. Every part of my travels felt safe, enjoyable and well thought out. Brenda was always available and answered all of my questions in a thorough, timely manner. She really made a giant effort to ensure everything was just right!
My safari experience was top notch. I was blessed to have Leslie as my safari guide. I can only imagine that all the guides of Tanzania Choice Safari would be just as good. Leslie’s energy and level of knowledge of all things safari blew my mind. He narrated all along the way to Tarangire National Park. He spoke of so many interesting things and answered all of my never ending questions.
I wasn’t sure of what animals I would be blessed to see or how many. I was jumping with joy as we entered the park and a giant elephant stood on our path. From there, it never stopped! I saw hundreds of elephants, giraffes, impalas, hyenas, monkeys, baboons, lions, zebras, cheetahs, numerous birds that Leslie excitedly told us about, his knowledge was incredible! Pumbas, buffalo, jackals, hippos, mongoose, dung beetles, and ostriches throughout our safari. I can’t leave out the beautiful, magnificent Baobab trees! They are breathtaking! You will be in awe as you learn these trees are thousands of years old! All aspects of the safari mesmerized me!
We stayed just outside of the Tarangire Park at a beautiful lodge. Our accommodations were spectacular! We stayed in our own canvas tent. But, do not think of a “tent”. The room was beautiful! It felt like a luxury hotel. Charming, comfortable beds with a private porch, large sitting area, giant bathroom with an indoor and outdoor shower. We enjoyed amazing food and service. There were guardsmen present to ensure we were safe at all times, as this lodge has wild life all around it! We swam in the pool that is open to the savannah! I have one suggestion for anyone who is traveling from Earth’s Northern Hemisphere, watch some YouTube and try to familiarize yourself with why the Big Dipper star constellation appears backwards and upside down when you are below the equator. It sparked a lot of conversation and honestly, I am not sure if I really understand it still!
We had wonderful picnic lunches on our safari days. Our guide Leslie catered to our needs and made sure we were doing well the entire time. There was always water and food available. We rode around comfortably in one of Tanzania Choice Safaris Toyota Land Cruisers where the top of the vehicle pops up. Leslie zoomed us to a few places when he got word from other safari drivers of highly sought animals in the area. It was SO much fun!!!! Imagine being on a Disney ride for a whole day at a time. I smiled, laughed and enjoyed every minute!
I really can not speak highly enough of the time I spent in Tanzania with Choice Safari! I can’t verbally describe this amazing experience in words! I was in awe and knew, as I was experiencing this astonishing moment, that it was a once in a lifetime experience that I would never forget and would hold deep in my memories as one of the best experiences of my entire life!
Kakasii and Brenda are incredible people who work hard to ensure every need is met for their customers. They go above and beyond to have everything you need accommodated for you! I will return one day with my husband and can not wait give Brenda and Kakasiii big hugs and look forward spending more time in their beautiful, friendly, spectacular country!
Asante Sana Tanzania Choice Safari!

Trip of a lifetime
Wow! Twinkle Star Tours went above and beyond to personalise this trip for me and ensure everything went according to plan. There were a few personal hiccups along the way but James (the director) was able to facilitate along the way always. Communication is fast, things are put in place efficiently and the staff treat you like family. The excursion days in Nairobi with Double Whiskey (Willy) were really great. The safari was a dream. Diani beach was beautiful. The team are amazing!!!! I can’t recommend them enough. I hope to be back in Kenya soon.

An outstanding experience that went beyond any and all expectations!
My boyfriend and I booked a 3 day, 2 night safari to Tarangire National Park with Tanzania Choice Safaris and it was amazing beyond words!! From the very beginning, Brenda was informative & responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had about booking our safari.
Our guide, Joseph, was super experienced & knowledgeable about the animals, birds, plants, culture, and any other questions we had. He was amazing at using his own knowledge of the park, as well as information from other guides he was friends with, to show us all of the amazing wildlife in Tanzania (leopards, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras galore, etc.) Joseph was also very kind and welcoming from the second he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off.
We stayed in the Simba Lodge, just outside the southern gate of the National Park, and the staff was very attentive & the lodging itself was very comfortable & spacious. All of the food was great & they had no issue making box breakfast/lunch that we would take with us on safari!
Could not recommend this experience more!! Thank you to everyone at Tanzania Choice for making this possible & helping us check off a massive bucket list item!!

The best tour company for Africa
Africa Tour Adventure were simply outstanding in arranging our 8 day tour in Rwanda including Gorilla Safari. They provide amazing service especially when we had to re-schedule the whole tour last minute due to cancelled flights. Nicholas was able to re-organise the itinerary in a day and we were ready to discover Rwanda when we landed in Kigali.
We had a life changing Gorilla trekking experience!!
We experienced Rwanda thanks to our amazing guide (Julius Tinkamayire) who was very knowledgeable. Julius was constantly striving to make our trip better and would advise us where we could change our plans to improve the experience. He's the type of guide you could rely on in any situation.
Look forward to visiting Rwanda again in the future and exploring more of Rwanda with our guide Julius.

Best Safari experience in Kenya
Myself and my partner had the most amazing safari experience.
Our trip started in Masai Mara and went through all the main Kenyan national parks (Amboseli, Naivasha, Tsavo East and Tsavo West) travelling towards the coast to finally reach Diani Beach (right place to relax after 8 days of safari).
Fina organized every detail so that we could stay in the best resorts and enjoy the experience stress-free. Apart from spending the nights right inside the reserves, making the commuting time very short, the resorts were elegant and unique, merging perfectly with the surroundings. Everything was planned just for the two of us and according to our needs and preferences. The hotel service was always impeccable and Fina was constantly checking on us to make sure that all was running smoothly.
David was just the perfect guide for this trip. He was able to spot all sort of animals (we spot 4 of the big five in one day!) at any time and from very far away. He was able to bring us in the right spot at the right time, furthermore he explained a lot about animals and wildlife. Travelling with him was one of our favourite aspect of the safari as he also thought us a lot about Kenyan history and culture.
We could not be more satisfied and cannot wait to organize another trip with them!

What an amazing Safari with both personal and very professional guiding!
I highly recommend traveling with Wild Planet Safari!
We travelled as a family with our two sons (7 and 10 years old) to Kruger park and Blyde canyon and it is certainly an adventure we will never forget!
Everything was so well organized, with effort put into many details. Like the coffee and rusks we were served (hot chocolate for the kids) while waiting for the gates to the park to open in the early morning!
We saw lots and lots of animals, and our guide Ryan was very knowledgable. He could answer all kinds of questions and give us insights to the lives and behaviours of the animals!
When some bad weather came in with some fog on our last day, Ryan managed to plan around it so that we could still make the most of the foggy hours and then see the wonderful Blyde Canyon when things cleared up. The view was stunning!
The food was really good too, with new favourites for both kids and adults!
All in all, both kids and adults were very happy with the whole trip!
(We also got some extra guiding from Ryan's son. Our kids were very happy to find a new friend in South Africa!)

Great Safari with Super-Benson
Wow what a great safari, not only did we get to see the Big 5, we saw the Big 9 and my son's list of 15 favourite animals! All made possible by the skills and unrelenting endeavour of our driver and guide Benson. This was my second safari in Kenya and by far the best - with some magical moments including seeing a new-born baby elephant, a leopard dragging its kill up a tree and a early morning sighting of a family of Cheetahs. You don't see these kind of things by randomly driving around in a 4x4, it took the skills of a knowledgeable and determined guide, who made every effort to make our experience a magical one.
I'd highly recommend using Into Adventure Safaris, great choice of hotels, nothing was too much and great value for money.
