My tour operator was very knowledgeable and professional!
When I arrived in South Africa I had limited time, so I tried to book something quick but impactful! This was the perfect choice! Hands down, the best experience I could ask for!

Walter Kohrs was absolutely the best travel agent we could imagine!
This was our second time booking a trip in Africa through Walter. The first one was in South Africa and Botswana about ten years ago, and it was so wonderful that we decide to book a second one to Zambia and Rwanda for 17 days. Four of us stayed at 4 magnificent lodges in Zambia, with great lodging and food, and all of our safaris and trip to Victoria Falls were wonderful with great guides. We flew in a couple of smaller planes to save time, and all of our travel connections went off like a charm. We then flew to Rwanda to see the great apes, and totally loved the lodge, the hike and time with the gorillas and golden monkeys, and our driver was wonderful too. We have recommended Walter to many of our friends, and they have all been equally impressed and happy with Walter’s services. Thank you!

breathtaking
breathtaking is the word that sums up the experience that I lived! gerald and the guid were always kind, helpful, friendly and taught us many curiosities, without ever making us miss anything just like the cook. I highly recommend their agency because we have shown all the animals that the paroc hosts. if you come here rely on them.

Absolutely incredible
Tanzania is an absolute must destination in your life time. From climbing Mt Kilimanjaro to a 10 day safari through the Serengeti, everything was more than I could have imagined. The visual beauty of what I experienced is unforgettable.

Amazing experience and Ali was a great guide
We had an amazing time exploring Masai Mara with Ali - the experience exceeded expectations. We managed to see a wide variety of animals and were lucky enough to see a lion hunt start to finish up close. Felt very safe with Ali who was very knowledgeable about the animals and punctual with pick up times. Ali was able to get us to the key spots of action on our game drives. We enjoyed the experience so much we opted to do another final game drive on our last morning prior to driving back to Nairobi. Ali was great in helping accommodate this for us given we had travelled so far. I looks forward to coming back again someday with more family members and will definitely be reaching out to Ali for his services again.

Tanzania Choice Safaris is the perfect choice!
Our safari in early September was a fantastic experience. Working with Brenda at TCS to create our 8 day safari was easy and efficient. The trip was organized and seamless.
We can’t say enough about our guide Noel. He was charming, kind, attentive and had an amazing eagle eye which gave us the opportunity to view so many animals. His knowledge of the animal behaviors and individual habitats was vast and very informative. Noel’s respect for the Serengeti’s role in the preservation of wild game animals was heartwarming. In short he made this trip amazing for us.
We saw lions (every day in fact) in their various daily behaviors, cheetah, leopard and wildebeests migrating over the Mara River to enjoy better grazing opportunities. Of course there were plenty of elephants, giraffe, warthogs, zebras and hyenas. The many varieties of birds were either looking pretty or engaging in their role in the Serengeti ecosystem…think vultures. We were pleasantly surprised to find many species in this park un-fazed by humans and vehicles which allowed an up close and personal observation. Over generations they’ve realized that we don’t pose a threat…
We chose luxury accommodations and thought 3 of the 4 locations were top notch. The outlier was possibly located in an area with limited choices. This was our first experience in tented lodges and they were a gigantic step up from our many personal tent camping outings. The service at the lodges varied a bit but were mostly really good. Meals had a larger variance between the lodges, some were terrific and others ok. Daily lunch boxes taken on game drive days were basic but repetitive. In any case the attempt to accommodate western eating habits was appreciated.
Enjoy a safari with Tanzania Choice Safaris, you won’t be disappointed.

An Adventure of a Lifetime
Nothing is perfect and I think we should go into every experience with an open mind. However, Timothy, Charles and the Extra Miles team go out of their way to make it as enjoyable as possible. If you want a personal and, more importantly personable experience Charles is the best guide in Kenya.

A complete and amazing experience!
My family and I had a wonderful 8 day Safari tour with Adam (our guide) to catch the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Northern Serengeti, and rest of Central Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Tarangire National Parks. The team was very responsive and accommodating during the pre-trip organisation, and managed to offer an encompassing itinerary for our holiday idea. Adam was such an attentive and striving guide! He worked really hard to help us experience all the different sights during the trip. We really enjoyed the trip and felt lucky to see the sightings that we did. Would definitely recommend Sunset Africa!

Fantastic visit, unforgettable experience
We had a very short trip to Uganda to visit the mountain gorillas as part of a bigger trip to Africa. The experience was truly magical and unforgettable. Our driver and guide Warren was excellent. He had plentiful knowledge about the area and was happy to answer our questions and spoke very good English. He was always punctual and managed well on the chaotic Ugandan roads. We thought the gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest felt like very sustainable tourism. The gorillas and our safety were top priority. We found the gorillas fairly quickly and got to spend an hour watching their behaviours and saw many gorillas. It was absolutely amazing!! Communication with Speke Uganda prior to the trip was a little slow and not a lot of information was given except from a basic itinerary, but this didn't phase us as everything worked out well and there was Warren holding a sign with out name when we landed at the airport! Although the trip was expensive for 5 days, a big chunk of this was for the gorilla permit which gets redirected into the surrounding community and to the trackers/rangers helping to protect the gorilla populations. We would definitely use the company again.
