It was absolutely amazing!
Our experience was amazing from pickup to drop off. Our tour guide was Omary and he started the experience with such positive energy that I knew from the start it was going to be an enjoyable experience.
We saw the big 5, rhinos, elephants, lions, leopards, and buffaloes. Omary always made sure we got the best view so we could get amazing pictures. He provided us with the rich history of the Tanzania people, government, and culture as we travelled. Everything was well planned and we never had to guess about the itinerary. He was made us feel safe along the way as the roads could be quite challenging. While other tour groups received box lunches, all of our meals were catered with silverware and place settings. There were tons of beverages included as well. The food was well seasoned and delicious.
He responded to our needs along the way. This experience was definitely five stars hands down. I would give 10 stars if that was an option!

Lana was the BEST thing for our trip....would not have been the same without her.
Where to even start!!! I sent a message about one of the tours in Botswana and Vic falls. From there, Lana guided the rest of my journey. She was able to customize a few things when i needed to add days for safari and tour in Johannesburg. She was so prompt in responses on email, WhatsApp and the phone! So great!! The trip was seamless!
Seamless as I said above. Arrived in Johannesburg and everything else was taken care of. All transfers and hotel arrangements. Our trip included a one day stay in Johannesburg with a tour (highly recommend!). Then 2 day safari in Chobe and 2 days in Okavanago. Then we were off to Vic Falls and finally ending with 4 days in Capetown. Everything on the trip was incredible. The stays were impeccable, the people and service were amazing and so knowledgeable! We saw the big 4 (bc the Rhinos are in a sanctuary) and many many other aminals. All of the guides were in the know on everything and we were lucky in seeing all we wanted.
All in all, I will highly recommend them and was very pleased! (I have already shared my experience with personal friends and the information for others to use!!)

Amazing tour operator with great communication skills who provided us a memorable experience
We booked an excursion with Africa Rebound Safaris and it was a positive experience from beginning to end. Right from the start, our head of travel (Lilian) engaged with us to discuss our priorities for the adventure. She custom-tailored a package that fulfilled all of our requirements, at a reasonable price. They also assisted us with acquiring our visas, and made sure we wouldn't have any problems with immigration.
We then arrived to Kenya, without any issues and our journey began. We were matched with an awesome tour guide by the name of Martin.
Martin is a very knowledgeable and experienced person, who was able to answer virtually any questions we had related to wild animals, but also about the Kenyan culture and way of living. He is passionate about his work and tries to transmit that same passion to others. This gentleman made our safari experience so much nicer than I expected. Finally, the tour operator even arranged transport for us at the end of the safari, ensuring we made it bake safely to the airport.
I would like to sincerely thank Lilian, Martin, and all of the Africa Rebound Saffari team for providing us outstanding customer service and a memorable overall experience. I will recommend this operator to all friends and family who intend visit Africa.
Again thank you so much and all the best!

Overall great experience
We went to 2 days Mikumi and one day Udzungwa mountains and we really enjoyed it. Initially our itinerary was to do 1 day Mikumi and 2 days Neyrere but after the drive from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi took nearly 9 hours because of the traffic, we decided to change the plans and the operator was flexible. Communication was good, I guess the only area for improvement is to provide more precise communication a couple of days before the trip instead of the client reaching out with questions (for example, who will be our driver and their contact, where will they wait for us, how to pay for the rest, and other basics). In terms of value, it is definitely not cheap and the safari vehicle was somewhat old, but the accommodation and food during the trip was good. Smile with us tours actually offered the most competitive price in relation to others (I got nearly 10 quotes from different operators). Overall, it was a good experience and would definitely repeat doing safari again.

A warm and knowledgeable guide to the Parks, concerned about our enjoyment, and a great driver.
Tanzanian Choice Safaris was a dream to work with. The husband-and-wife owners (a Tanzanian man and an American woman who live in the country and frequent the hotels and lodges themselves) were primarily focused on our enjoyment and comfort, and were able to tailor a trip just the way we wanted. And, most importantly, they did not try to oversell us or manipulate our schedule like other companies. The personal touch was apparent from our earliest consultation, to having lunch with them in Arusha, to dropping us at the airport. The jeep was comfortable, the driving was excellent, and everything was top-notch. It was a point of pride for our guide (also the owner) to show us as many animals as he could. All the lodging was great, and the Zanzibar portion of our trip, organized by Tanzanian Choice, was also wonderful. I have nothing but good things to say about Tanzanian Choice and would recommend them heartily to anyone.

I wish I could safari every year with Tanzania Choice Safaris
For my wife's 50th birthday we decided to take an African safari. We looked online and spoke to one safari coordinator in the US but luckily we mentioned our plans to a friend who had taken a safari with Tanzania Choice safaris. I am so glad that conversation because from the initial meeting to the subsequent planning sessions we knew we had made the right choice. Brenda did an amazing joj of organizing everything perfectly for us and we had the adventure of a lifetime. It was exactly what we were looking for in a safari and it was truly a magnificent trip. Our guide was truly outstanding and Leslie was such a wonderful educator and driver. All in all we long to return to Tanzania and recreate this adventure one day in the future and there is not doubt in my mind our first and only call would be to Tanzania Choice Safaris for a return trip !!!

Once in a Lifetime Trip!
Overall, my wife and I had an excellent adventure during our safari. We went at the end of the great migration. Our guide, Noel, met us at the airstrip and our journey began.
We started at the Ngorogoro Crater and ended at the very northern end of the Serengeti. Noel was very knowledgable and hyper-competent. We always felt safe and informed. Considering we were in the Landcruiser for a week, we really enjoyed one another's company. Noel, and his cohort of professional guide (who are linked by a radio network), worked diligently to expose us to wildlife. We even saw a lion take down a Zebra! We saw one of the last wildebeast river crossings and even saw some crocodiles make brutal work of a few stragglers.
Overall, our guide made our safari fantastic! We cannot recommend them enough.

Best Safari Ever!!
Omary was such an amazing and tentative guide! I’ve been on 5 Safaris and this 3 day trip was the best I’ve ever experienced! I saw the big five for the first time in one trip! This was truly an experience I will never forget! The food was also amazing, freshly cooked, and yummy! We were one of the only groups that did not have box lunches, we can a full course meal! Such an amazing experience!!

Above and beyond expectations
I can't say enough about Heather, Heaven and this amazing company. Not only did they provide fabulous places to stay, Heaven worked hard to show us some amazing sights on our many diverse safaris.
Their commitment to their travelers went above and beyond our tour with them. We had personal flight/travel issues that had nothing to do with them, and without hesitation they did what they could to help, get us to where we needed to go.
I will reach out to them for any future trips and have advised my family and friends to do the same.
