World-Class Safari Experience & A Flawless Kilimanjaro Day hike (Unforgettable adventure)
From our very first consultation through to the final day of our journey, Tanzania Songbirds safaris delivered an absolutely flawless travel experience. Our custom itinerary- Combining an invigorating day trek on Mt. Kilimanjaro with immersive safaris through the wildlife-rich landscapes of Tarangire National park and breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater- was seamlessly organized down to the finest detail. The pre-trip coordination was thorough, transparent, and completely stress-free, leaving us with full confidence before i even arrived.
What truly set this experience apart, however, wad the extraordinary caliber of our tour guides. Beyond their incredible sharp-eyed tracking abilities and profound knowledge of the local wildlife, ecosystem and flora, they possessed a genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel cared for at every moment. Their attentiveness to our safety, comfort and pace during the Kilimanjaro hike was remarkable and their patience during our game drives ensured we never felt rushed. Every questions was answered with deep insight, turning every drive and trail into a rich learning experience.
Thanks so much to their unmatched kindness, flawless logistics and true passion for hospitality, this trip surpassed every expectation we had. If you are looking for an authentically tailored, highly-quality, and deep memorable adventure and safari in Tanzania, your host Tanzania Songbirds safaris is simply exceptional-- I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thanks so much again for made our dream.

Must do tour in Arusha!!!
We did two days of tours with Israel & Daudi, both of which were amazing guides! They are so kind and knowledgeable. They shared so much info with us and answered all of our questions. On the first day we did a tour around Arusha town and go to see so much culture and life. The 2nd day we did a tour to the Maasai Tribe right outside of Arusha and it is a MUST DO! It is one of the most unique tours we have ever done. The Maasai people were so kind and welcoming, and it was so cool to learn about their way of living. Highly recommend booking this tour!

Tanzania Songbird Safaris is a must!
What a magnificent experience. We went on a group safari with of our family and friends to northern Tanzania, and we got a recommendation from our friends back home about Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. We all appreciated it was the best trip we have ever been to. Our guide Erick and Israel were the absolute the best and our group was so glad to have them. Eric & Israel were able to share so much about Tanzania especially wildlife and general history of the country, culture and people. They responded to all the questions we asked promptly, graciously and in detail. We spent 4 days in Central Serengeti and we saw the great migration which is very lucky since we had never seen it before. Thanks so much to Erick, Israel and the entire team of Tanzania Songbirds Safaris for making our dream come true. During the migration safari we saw a lot of animals including the African big five and small animals too. The jeep, accommodations and all meals were the best and we felt very welcomed at the lodge everyday and there so much food on offer. I would be jealous if I couldn't say Tanzania Songbirds Safaris deserve to be the top rated operator in Tanzania and I can confidently recommend them to all travelers looking for a wonderful safari experience in Africa

A Warm & Wonderful Introduction to Tanzania
Before arriving in Tanzania, my partner and I had already booked our safari, so we planned to spend two days exploring Arusha before heading to the wild. The experience was so enjoyable that we immediately booked Isra for a second day.
Isra made us feel comfortable exploring the city on foot. He patiently answered all of our questions and shared fascinating insights into Tanzanian history, ethnic diversity, politics, religion, culture, and everyday life. It felt more like spending time with a knowledgeable local friend.
Our favorite stop was the Central Market. Isra explained how the market is organized and why different sections developed the way they did. We also got to see what local people buy and eat, and even sampled a few local products. Without a guide, we probably wouldn't have ventured so confidently into such a large, busy market.
We also loved the coffee farm. Having visited coffee farms in Colombia and Hawaii, we found this experience unique because we followed the entire process, from harvesting to brewing, at a small organic farm. The coffee was excellent, and we brought a bag home to Canada.
Isra is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his country. If we hadn't already booked our safari before arriving in Tanzania, we would definitely have considered him as our safari guide. We highly recommend Tanzania Songbirds Safaris.

An outstanding Arusha experience, especially for birders
We visited Tanzania in mid-June and had three transition days in Arusha before and after our safari, so we booked the Arusha city tour with Tanzania Songbirds Safaris, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
Our guide, Isra, arrived at our hotel ahead of time each day. The vehicle was comfortable and well maintained, with a dedicated driver, allowing Isra to focus entirely on guiding and answering our questions. Since it was just the two of us, he was very flexible and adjusted the itinerary to match our interests. In the first day, we ended up spending several enjoyable hours exploring the Central Market, which became one of our favorite experiences in Arusha. We enjoyed the tour so much that we booked Isra again for another day to continue exploring the city and the Maasai Market. After we finished our safari and returned to Arusha, we spent our final day with him visiting Lake Duluti and a local coffee farm near Arusha.
What impressed us most was Isra's knowledge and genuine passion for sharing his country. Before our safari, he introduced us to Tanzanian history, culture, wildlife, and everyday life, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of everything we experienced later in the national parks. We had many enjoyable conversations about nature, Tanzanian culture, his experiences as a safari guide, and the daily lives of local people. We learned far more than we expected from a city tour. He also recommended several local restaurants (Uzunguni City Park and Khan's Barbeque), all of which were authentic and excellent. Throughout all three days, Isra was kind, patient, professional, and gentle. As two female travellers, we always felt comfortable, safe, and well looked after.
As birdwatchers, we were especially delighted by his knowledge of and enthusiasm for birds. Not all safari guides are knowledgeable about birds, so if you're a birder, you'll definitely appreciate touring with Isra.
Whether you are looking for a short introduction to Arusha or considering Isra as your safari guide, we highly recommend Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. It was an excellent experience from beginning to end.

Professional, relaxing and very informative tour of Arusha by Isra.
My family and I have just had the most amazing tour of Arusha by Isra. The attention to detail of the city and heritage was brilliant. Isra is such a professional guide and took care of our group. It was a relaxing tour at our own pace. We would highly recommend Isra. What a genuine person.
Thank you so much Isra was the wonderful experience.

One of the best Safari Experience I had in Tanzania
It's a very nice journey to the nature of Tanzania, the driver guide picked me up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and drive me to Arusha town at my hotel. I had a short rest and I was happy to see the city of Arusha. With my guide I went on Arusha town tour. The day follow up by morning pickup from my hotel to begin the journey of a lifetime in Tanzania.
I had my best ever time on Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro Crater, my driver guide Erick is the best and I cannot recommend him enough, we saw a lot of animals include my favorites one (Lion).
But Serengeti is the best of experience., I got to see all the animals I had dreamed about. My guide was know we'll the park and cooperated with other drives, so we had many exiting encounters with the animals. One of my highlights is when I saw the 2 Liones in the middle of Serengeti.
The night in Serengeti we slept at Serengeti Classic View. It's very pleasant camp, very friendly staff and prepared a lot for the guests, I enjoyed the bonfire at night and the 3 meal prepared for me and my driver it was incredible sweet, the all other services is so great include bathroom.
On my last day I went through Ngorongoro Crater (Garden of Eden) this deserve to be one of the 7 natural wonders of the world and its a place to visit at least once in a lifetime, I saw uncounted animals even in a short distance include predators and prey which you will not experience this short distance for the difference species in Serengeti national park,
Our last day we enjoyed the lunch at the picnic site near the hippo pool and all safe with my guide Erick. Then we drove back in Arusha town safety.
This was my dream to be, I can't thanks enough Tanzania Songbirds Safaris for prepared to me the wonderful experience on Tanzania Safari.
I having an confidence enough to recommend Tanzania Songbirds Safaris for your excellent safari experience in Tanzania.
Thanks so much again!

A wonderful and educational experience
Some of the most memorable experience in my life will undoubtedly be the safari at Tarangire and visiting the Hadzabe tribe, and doing these with our wonderful tour guide Israel and Kelvin only made the experience even better. We learnt a lot about the country, the tribes, the animals, local life… They were also really nice and even helped with our transport, since we lived far from Arusha. It was a positive experience throughout the whole trip!
