Excellent and the most efficient service
I visited Africa 10 times starting from 2001. Safari With Us arranged my African travels starting in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. I traveled with them to South Africa, Botswana and Namibia and plan to do trips to Tanzania in July 2022 and (again) South Africa in September 2022. Every time, their service was absolutely excellent. Their response to emails were almost immediate and professional. Great many thanks to Andre, Debby and Thabo!

Perfect experience in Mikumi National Park
Sister and I went to a private tour in National park Mikumi. We had a great experience since the first day Leonard pick us up in Dar-es Salaam. He is very nice man and was doing his best to make us comfortable about everything. When we came in Bastia Camp, we loved our accomadition and greenary all around the camp. Safari was also perfect, we were lucky and saw variety of animals.
In the end, our all experience was really great, people are so friendly and I would recommend it to everyone.

Once in a lifetime experience!
WOW! where should we start? From start to end it was one of the most awesome experiences of our life. Organizing the trip with Alex was smooth during all times. He explained everything to us, tailored the trip as we wanted and was always available via WhatsApp to help with every question. We went with the 5 days luxury safari with lodges and tented camps, going to Tarangire, Serengeti and ngorongoro. Mustafa our driver was awesome. Every day absolutely on time, nice and polite and a very secure driver. He has a good knowledge about the flora and fauna and there was not a single question he could not answer. He always accommodated to our needs and wishes. We saw the big 5 and many, many more.
The accommodations were awesome. Kilimamoja exceeded our expectations and sound of silence in the Serengeti was a wonderful place too. The found was always very good and the cold lunch boxes were surprisingly tasty and enough to fill your stomach :) I would highly recommend going on a safari with mama savana.

Excellent, reliable and very pleasant to go on safari witu
We had a wonderful safari and made memories for life. The safari was very well organized and Chris was extremely reliable. He is also very nice and friendly company and ver knowledgeable. I’m very curious and I asked a thousand questions , he could answer them all. The wildlife we saw was breathtaking , very early in the morning at sunrise, to look over the African planes and see the diversity of animals so close up and the beautiful light, we will never forget.
Chris took care of us in a perfect way. I can highly recommend Native Africa Tours!

The Best Tour Company in Tanzania
The best, most reliable and professional tour company in Tanzania! Reasons that I highly recommend using their service to explore the beauty of Tanzania:
1. High quality service ranging from budget to high-end travelers
2. Flexibility based your plans, allowing you to customize your trip. We requested no shopping, skipping breakfast to have more time for the game drives and early starts and late ends. No problem at all! The guide will stop wherever you want for you yo take pictures.
3. Always on time. Whatever time we arranged for pick up and drop off at the airport, hotels, game drive, meal times, they are always sharp on time! Not even late for one minute!
4. Super professional to find the best animals. On safari, the most important thing is to see animals. But everyone know it depends on the luck. But with a professional guide with sharp eyes, it greatly increases your chance to see the best animals. We saw the Big Five plus cheetahs during our trip. Not just once, we saw them almost everyday! Our guide talked to other guides via radio (which most of the tour companies do) but also knew where to locate the wildlife at their secret spots! We often spotted the animals first and got the best pictures, while the other tour groups rushed over but the animals would be walking further away.
5. Reliability. Finding a tour company in Africa and have to pay a partial deposit before the trip is kind of scary. But this company is 100% trustworthy. Do not worry about your money. On our first day when we were about to enter Ngorongoro there was a problem with the bank transaction and the tickets didn’t go through. The tour company owner asked me if I could pay first and he would pay me back later. I wasn’t too happy about it as it was over $500 USD but two days later the owner spent three hours on the road from Arusha to Karatu and returned my money in person and apologized again!! Which company owner can do this? You can know how realizable they are and trust them.
6. Food. During our trip, the meal prepared by the chef was just amazing. Super delicious! In safari, we can have hot soup, two main courses, salad and one dessert. It’s just amazing.
7. The cost, we stayed in a budget accommodation, but I really like it, very clean and it just located in the central Serengeti area. Totally worth the price. And the whole trip cost is the most reasonable one among other 10+ companies I compared.
8. Immediately response for any questions. It’s very difficult to find the information online especially for Africa trip. I added the WhatsApp of the owner, he answered all my questions in detailed. We back and forth so many messages about the parks, transportation, accommodation. I can get my answer within few hours even though there are time difference between Tanzania and US.
After all the above reasons, I am not why you would still want to find another tour company. :) I truly highly recommend using Colours Africa Tour for your trip to Tanzania. They will give you an unforgettable experience just like we had.

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!!
