An incredible wildlife viewing experience!
My family of four completed a 5-day safari in Moremi Game Reserve with Wild Africa Safaris. The entire experience was just incredible. First off, Rodgers is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide who attended to every detail of our trip. He taught us so much about tracking, the ecology of the area, and the different wildlife species we were seeing, from leopards and lions, to all of the ungulates, to the many gorgeous bird species. His staff were friendly and helpful, and his chef, Mofat made the most delicious food, including freshly baked bread at every meal. One day we were surprised with a beautiful lunch set up on the side of a river, with hippos lounging in the water nearby. The tents were very comfortable, complete with showers and hot water first thing in the morning. Camping inside the game reserve each night was a very special experience, with zebras, impala, elephants visiting every night while we sat around a warm fire sipping gin and tonics (and sodas for the kids)! I highly recommend doing a safari with Rodgers and his staff.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
This was my 3rd Safari in 3 years and I found
this one to be my favorite! Our guide Ezekiel was very knowledgeable and very informative. He catered to our every need,
and was very personable. The accommodations that were booked for us were very nice and the food was excellent.
I would definitely recommend Tanzania Choice Safaries to any one. Well done!!!

They played a vital role in achieving our purpose to enjoy Kenya's wild nature to the utmost
Since first contact we were very clear in our requests about places to visit, type of lodging, distribution of time, and most of all, the expectations we had about our driver-guide. With this information they made a very well balanced program alternating activities, type of lodging, etc. so energy never declined along our 15 days safari. They follow the program in a well coordinated way even when we had several guides and drivers, all of them nice people with different personal high points. All of them trying to give us good time and always open to our suggestions and requests. They even coordinated with Mr Otieno in a very efficient way to help us in a couple situations. We really appreciated the fact of a private safari because it let us adjust schedule and some facts just coordinating with our guide. Lodges and tented camps were very good selections. In fact, our program developed in a very smooth way, leaving us the chance to enjoy 100% what we planned with Mr. Otieno, thanks to the helpful people who was in charge of everything everyday. We are very thankful for the wonderful holidays we had!!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Zsolt Banyai
Scenic park with interesting herbivores species, but we did not see any lions in 2 days, so I would not say that lions are common. Baobab trees are a otherworldly sight. I loved this park, if it had more cats I would choose this over Serengeti!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Zsolt Banyai
An amazing wonder of Africa, you should see it for yourself! Lions and hyenas are very common, but seeing the black rhino is not guaranteed. There is no leopard and cheetah in the crater.
The scenery is what makes this probably the best park in the Northern circuit, and the abundance of water that supports great numbers of herbivores.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Zsolt Banyai
Is animals density combined with the high general cost of doing safari in Tanzania makes this park a bad idea - I would rather spend more time in Tarangire or Serengeti than visiting this park again.

Great safari, but very commercial
We spent 4 days in the central part of Serengeti, and were rewarded with a number of great elephant and lion sightings. We also saw cheetahs a couple of times, but I would never say that seeing them is 'common'. Leopard is much harder, we did see twice, but no quality sightings.
The park is overrun by cars and tourists, so the bush vibe is gone as soon as a cat shows up - once we counted 40+ cars at a leopard sighting. Picnic sites and toliets are not well maintained especially compared to parks in South Africa e.g. Kruger NP. Roads are in horrible condition, on the day we left the park we saw 4 cars with various issues (broken axle, tire puncture, etc.). They are so bumpy that it is guaranteed that your lower back will hurt at the end of the trip.
It also costs a fortune to visit the park, and we felt paying 800 USD per day was too steep for it compared to South Africa, where you can have a nice time for about 250 USD per day in the Kruger.
All in all, it is fabulous how easily you can see lions every day around Seronera, but leopard is rare, and the tourists hordes are quite annoying sometimes. And it was so dusty!

A hidden treasure– fascinating and interesting itself to discover!
One morning while heading to South to Omo River, we noticed on the road a huge tree lying blocking the roads. Looking around one by one a Hamar tribe showed up fully armed, all heading towards a car that had our friends excusing them for hit and run of their little cow. I will not tell what had happened next but everything here is primitive superbly and memorably experience to encounter.

Review about Tanzania by Zsolt Banyai
Northern circuit is an amazing region in the country where national parks are almost next to each other. The terrain is quite carried, and animal density is great. The only issue is the cost which is quite steep because of the lack of infrastructure.

Amazing quantity and quality.
The guide makes quite a difference. We booked our safari late and we faced some challenges but our safari was incredible. We saw way more than what we expected. We knew that July was a good month but our guide was really good, he made us see so many animals and places. Take good note of this: Ask for Charles at Orongai Safari.
We will never forget this awesome experience!
