The perfect first ever safari
As first time visitors to beautiful Kenya, it felt great to rely on James expertise and experience. He and his colleagues have such passion and love for the nature and the animals and shares their knowledge in a fantastic way. They truly create a positive experience that stays with you long after you have said goodbye.

Kakasii was a wonderfully knowledable and thoughtful guide for our very first Safari!
I would certainly recommend using Tanzania Choice Safaris to anyone who desires a kind, wonderfully knowledgeable, safe, and experienced guide - with a little dash of pizazz throw in for a beautifully spread, unexpected, picnic lunch in the middle of the day! My 13-year-old old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our first safari and he had a LOT of questions!! Kakasii patiently answered questions and let us stop to take photos of our first wild this or wild that - that he had seen a million times before (Tip for first time safarians - zebras and water buffalo are like deer and antelope in the States- unless those are your favorites I would suggest letting him get you to the lions and rhinos and elephants FIRST. The zebra and water buffalo will still be staring straight at you on the way BACK too! :) )
Kakasii's experience and knowledge of animal behavior allowed us to be in the perfect place to watch a lioness track down her lunch! Fortunately, for the smart zebra mom, the Pride did not catch her - but we proudly caught it all on video because Kakasii knew just where to position our jeep in time for the show. The entire day from dawn to dusk was spectacular. Thank you Kakasii for an unforgettable day. I am happy to say I am returning THIS June (with my younger son and a team of 4 others) and will look forward to where you will take us this year! ----as long as you promise to find a GIRAFFE this time! :)

Trip of a lifetime.
Our guide Sam Mopalo was excellent not only with his vast knowledge of all the animals, birds and insects but knowing where and when to find the best viewing of animals. I really cannot think of anything that wasn’t completely up to par for 10 days in the bush. Food, accommodations, and activities were well planned. Sam is professional as well as lots of fun. I highly recommend him

Once in a lifetime experience
I wanted to write a review for Cape Dog Safaris because we had a phenomenal Safari trip. It was beyond our expectations. The guide and accommodations chosen for us were spot on. They attended to all of our needs, including my Gluten Free food allergy and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our vacation. We never thought we would ever see the wildlife that we saw on the Serengeti, and our guide was so knowledgeable on the wildlife and animal behavior, which made our trip much more enjoyable and educational.
We will be talking about our Safari on the Serengeti with Cape Dog Safaris for years to come.

Absolutely brilliant, professional and most hospitable hosts.
Everything was absolutely perfect, efficient and polite. The guide was exemplary and even more your personal help Ben being on the ball to help is when we were in a jam when our flight to Nairobi was cancelled.

Our dream became true!
Before departure we made a travel schedule with Emma. We discussed all our needs and dreams. We had good support, could discuss everything and made choices together. The price is fair. The communication was friendly.
In Tanzania we had Edward as driver/guide and Godson as chef. No words to describe this time. During safari we had so much excitement (together). Have seen the big five, and several times cheeta's.
We like photography and have a lot of memorable pictures! Our dream came true.
We can recommend Emma, Edward and Godson; they make Shemeji great! GREAT!

My dream came through thanks to the wonderful team organizing my Safari.
This Safari has been a dream of mine for quite some time and I am very grateful to have seen it come true. I have visited Manyara, Ngoro Ngoro and Serengeti and I have no words to describe the Paradise that was this trip!
The Guide:
David is an amazing person and it was very difficult to say "Good bye" to him. He is polite, considerate, kind and, thanks to his experience, training and education I can now say that I have seen the Big 5!
Accommodation:
Karatu Simba Lodge was great. That is what I call Glamping :). Very friendly staff.
Kisura Tented Camp also nice. The staff was very kind and accommodating from the beginning. The Chef is very, very good.
The Coastal Aviation team, from ground staff to crew, excellent!
Once again, thank you to All!

Exceptional service ... loved it!
My best friend and I went with Home To Africa after a lot of research ... it has been about a month since we returned but still can't help talk about it! We had a terrific time - Elias was exceptional with communications, flexibility on itinerary, etc. Alex was a great guide and helped us see it ALL!!
The hotels were terrific ... and the people of Uganda (and therefore the service) are AMAZING!!!
The only downside was the comfort of the vehicle - the A/C was fickle (even in February, Uganda is hot) and the roads need a few billion dollars of investment. So I would confirm the specific vehicle type that would be used.
However, I would 100% recommend Home to Africa ... they literally treat you like you are family!

Safari in Tanzania; when you live it is when you really know and appreciate what it is !!!
When my wife and I decided to go on a safari in Tanzania, we searched through networks about different companies. Soul of Tanzania always appeared with excellent comments and ratings from its customers. We decided on them and without a doubt we were fully successful. It was fantastic that before starting the safari, Luis contacted us and sent us an infinity of emails and a form with all kinds of details so that our experience was exactly as we wanted it. He gave us all kinds of options. Flights, transfers, hotels, places to visit, food allergies, special needs, and everything adapted to our budget. He has been a very kind and effective person. Until the last day he was helping and working so that our experience was complete. He treated us very kindly. No surprises
We start our tour in Arusha as planned with Vincent; A great professional with more than 12 years of experience and recognized as one of the best in the industry. Knowing habits and habits of animals and places where they tend to be. With the we saw the BIG FIVE.
We requested a guide who spoke Spanish to focus only on what we were interested in. What a pleasant surprise we take with Vincent. Affable and very willing. His good level of Spanish allowed us to know all the little details perfectly. With it the four days of Safari were short in which we were visiting Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We are also very satisfied with the chosen hotels and the treatment they gave us. Above our expectations. They were very attentive and took into account my wife's food allergies. Since you leave the vehicle until you leave the hotel, everything is attention.
Tanzania is a place worth visiting. But to make a safari with true professionals is spectacular. You only know what it is when you do it. Our last words, again go to our guide Vincent, whom we highly recommend for his professionalism and personal interest in his clients. Especially with those who have a more limited level of English and we are Spanish speaking.
