Perfection
My trip with Tanzania Choice Safaris was nothing short of perfection. From the very first communication I had with Brenda, everything went just as I could’ve hoped, if not better. I talked with Brenda about my timeframe, budget, and goals for my trip and before I knew it, she had mapped out the Safari of my dreams.
There was no detail uncounted for or overlooked, and from the moment I touched down every possible point of coordination was accounted for. I was provided with the opportunity to see the best that Arusha had to offer, got to enjoy a local meal and and was then then whisked away to my magical guest house on the grounds of a beautiful monastery just outside of the gates of Ngorongoto Crater. Being sung to sleep by the sisters as they recited their prayers was a peace I have never known before. My guide Noel could not have been more lovely, and I learned more from him than I could have in a full year study of the flora and fauna of Tanzania.
Our Safari vehicle... Read more was comfortable and well equipped, Noel knew all of the best viewpoints, and he was truly exceptional. No one can predict what they will see on safari, but it is safe to say that I saw everything I could’ve ever hoped for and then some.
Brenda, Noel and Tanzania Choice Safaris were basically my fairy godmothers and I would not hesitate to recommend them. I hope that someday I will be fortunate enough to return to Tanzania and the first people who will know of my plans will be Brenda and her crew.

Great Safari
It was great three days of safari thanks to Lameck & Safari360. We got to see the big 5 & had a cultural tour in the process. Nothing but praises & recommendations.

Warm, welcoming, and adaptable
We had a fabulous time and got to experience many of Arusha’s attractions in only one day! Our tour guide Enock was amazing and we felt very comfortable all day :)

A new African family plus VIPs feeling ( safe and exciting adventure)
If you want to be sure everything goes according to your dreams on safari , be sure that choosing Anna and Porcupine expedition is the best you can do. We had beautiful and safe 3 days safari (Serengeti and NgoroNgoro by the tents) and generally a great stay in Arusha and felt like VIPs and a part of the true family at the same time. This is a great value for money. We will recommend it to all our friends and family and who knows maybe come back again to ask Anna and her fantastic doughter Julie to organise our trip to Kilimanjaro? If we only decide to do it we will think of no one else but Porcupine Expedition :-))))))))

Great Tour, Great Guide, Great Experience, Amazing Accomodation.
We did a 3 day safari around Tanzania with Migration Venture Africa (MVA) in Jan '25. We were originally a bit nervous about the number of moving parts present in the safari however, we needn't have been.
Communication from MVA (via Amos) via email was prompt and always answered our questions. We were picked up from the airport by our guide, Josef, and went straight into our first day of safari.
Josef was brilliant on safari, he answered all our questions and seemed to have a sixth sense for finding a great viewing spot, even when it got relatively crowded. He also gave some interesting insights into local culture and what 'normal' Tanzanian life is like, which we really appreciated.
Josef would explain the plan for the next day as he dropped us off at our lodge and he was always ready and waiting for us (even though we were bang on with our timings).
In terms of Value for Money the tour price felt exactly right, especially given the invredible quality of... Read more our accommodation and number of parks we visited.
As Brits, we dislike the tipping culture. Although we understand that it's more common in other cultures, we would have preferred if the guides were paid fairly and the costs of this built into the upfront booking fee, perhaps add a digital service charge to the booking, avoiding the 'hidden cost' feeling.
All in all we'd thoroughly recommend Migration Venture Africa for anyone who wants to explore any of the national parks.

Professional
It was the greatest experience ever. Our driver Isaac was really good at driving and finding animals. We had great shots of animals. Accommodations were very clean and had great food. Overall the experience was very unique and professional. We went during January, but now we are also thinking about going again in July

I recommend you avoid and beware
This tour operator goes by the name 'Eddie', with safari and trekking services also advertised through 'Northern Fox Adventures'. My experience has been one of deception, bad communication and $830 being taken from me, without the service provided. I recommend avoiding at all cost.

Professional and excellent
They are so professional, and neat on every details in the safari plan. All staff are helpful, knowledgeable, and nice. I never had a tour in my life that went that well as Savannah Exp. had provided. Accomodations were the best ones possible in the national park, quite clean and functional. All food were clean, delicious with multiple options. Our driver is the best on explaining the wild life and catching the best possible scenes of lions, cheetahs, and a leopard ( mid-January). Thank you to our guide (Isaac Long) and Savannah Explorer team (Sultan) who made a tailored programme for us during our honeymoon and they fully customized itineraries with respect to our needs and requests. We had beautiful memories and best holiday ever, thanks to them. We would like to go to Tanzania again in our 5th of anniversary in dry seasons(July) even ☺️
For Zanzibar, they chose one of the best hotels in the best beach side (Nungwi) for our honeymoon. Our driver there were also so nice and fluent in English, helpful.

A perfect choice for a fantastic adventure and magical experience.
An amazing journey and experience from start to finish. We did a three-day safari and a fourth day with a hike to the first base of Kilimanjaro. We reached out to Makini and a few other operators as early as August and quickly decided on Makini. Naomi, who was our contact person, was very professional and answered all our odd questions within hours. She was extremely helpful with arranging accommodations, airport pickups, and more.
We highly recommend Makini, who also ensured we spotted the Big Five. Our driver was fantastic at locating all the animals, and the chef was magical at creating amazing meals out of nothing. We can’t recommend Makini enough

Great experience on Kilimanjaro and Safari
We climbed Kilimanjaro with the Bushland Adventure Travel team and then went on safari with Bushland in Tarangiri Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was well organised from start to finish.
When we climbed Kilimanjaro, the campsites in the individual camps were carefully selected. At Barafu Camp in particular, at 4600 metres, we had an excellent, wind-protected spot. The summit experience was unique. The team accompanied us safely to the summit and back down again. The cook always prepared excellent meals. We were looked after attentively throughout the entire tour. We would like to thank the entire team for this unforgettable experience.
Vincent, our driver and guide on the safari, was our absolutely reliable and attentive companion. He drove carefully and safely on the road, which was very important to us. Vincent showed enormous patience on the difficult roads in the parks. He always had a keen instinct for being in the right place at the right time. He spotted the big cats in the tall grass that would have completely escaped our attention. We repeatedly saw a herd of elephants with babies and other animals crossing the road right in front of our vehicle. We will never forget these experiences.
