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.

It was a one in a lifetime experience.
Our safari experience was top-notch. From the time Omary picked up us from our hotel until the time he dropped us off, we will received five star service. He has such good energy that I knew we would enjoy our trip from the start. We saw the big five (rhinos, elephants, leopards, buffalos, and lions). He made sure he got as close to the animal as safety would allow so we could get amazing views and photographs.
Safety was Omary's number one priority. He was careful to make sure he drove in a safe manner to avoid accidents and breakdowns. While some other tourist were receiving box lunches, we received catered meals everyday with silverware and a variety of beverages. The food was delicious.
Omary was very knowledge of the people, culture, and government, and he shared numerous stories and tidbits about the country and way of living.

What an awesome experience
I am writing this review to extend a heartfelt thank you for my 3 day safari experience, Tati bila, with Omar. His commitment to ensuring our needs were not only met but exceeded, contributed significantly to our unforgettable experience.
Above all, his knowledge of the grounds exemplified his expertise, allowing my group amazing opportunities to capture breathtaking photos. Omar’s attentiveness definitely enriched our safari experience.
I could not thank Omar enough for his outstanding efforts and commitment in delivering a memorable time. I will forever remember him for the way he entertained my group with jokes and stories about the history and culture of Tanzanians.
