World-Class Safari Experience & A Flawless Kilimanjaro Day hike (Unforgettable adventure)
5/5

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.

Exceptional
5/5

We had amazing and unique experience with Israel - the man and the legend, who is the manager of Tanzania songbirds Safari, and Eric the great - our super guide and driver. The communication with Israel, before the tour, during and afterwards, was wonderful!! Through e mails, his reply ratio was very fast and informative. Our two days Safari experience was unforgettable, and it couldn't be like that without our guide Eric - he knows where to go, and how to find all wonderful wildlife. He organized tasty lunch meals, actually helped us everything and more, even with dinner at the end of the tour - awesome and exiting!!
We'll never forget Israel and Eric, sure next time they are the best and only option for all kind of tours in Tanzania, and hope everyone who see this review, will book with them.
They deserve it big time!!
Thank you very very much.

Best luxury fly-in fly-out Serengeti safari experience
5/5

A big thank you to Isra (travel consultant) who helped us plan a wonderful 2 day fly-in and fly-out safari in the Central Serengeti. Isra was amazing leading up to our safari and was always quick to respond to any queries we had.

Harry our safari guide did an incredible job on the game drives and helped us see more than 23 different animals, including 4 of the big 5 in just 2 days!

We stayed at Tukaone Hembe Camp and watched the most beautiful sunset after a big day of game drives.

I 100% would recommend Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. You can trust them to give you an amazing safari experience.

Amazing company
5/5

This is amazing safari company we would recommend in every way. Young people working there are welcoming, very knowledgeable and ready to help and answer any questions you may have. We went for three full day trips with them (Arusha city, Ngorongoro crater, Kilimanjaro) and each was better than the previous. You can’t go wrong with choosing Tanzania Songbird safari for your adventures in Tanzania

Songbird goes above and beyond to provide unforgettable tours.
5/5

This was such a great experience with Songbird. Since we did this and the city tour, we just combined the tour. Isra was our guide and he was amazing. He was able to set up other tours that we were interested in as well. We started off by doing the city tour where we got view the city, went to a museum, and did the Tanzanite experience. He literally took care of us the entire time like family. The cooking class was led by the chef Neema. She was great and we had a great time. It was nice to hear about her culture while making a delicious meal. Isra also arranged another day for us to see Lake Duluti and our guide was Frank. He was awesome and we had a great time with him. He made sure we were ok on the hike the entire time. The hike is very easy and about 2 miles. We also did another tour with Isra for a giraffe walk experience. Despite the heat, it was very informative and we got great shots of the animals. This was a 10/10 experience and I’m excited to work with this company again the future for their upcoming tours. They communicate really well and always prioritize you having a great experience.

They made our whole experience unforgettable.
5/5

If you have limited time in Tanzania, this is a must!

From the time of booking the company was very proactive in reaching out and providing us useful information about the day hike. They were very responsive and helpful.

Our day start at 5:45am as we got picked up at our hotel in Arusha. They were right on time! It was only me and my friend for the trip.

Baraka, our guide, had been so amazing to us! He carried some of our stuff and was very encouraging, understanding for some changes in pace and some quick stops, knowledgeable and fun with all his singing and awesome atmosphere. All these helped me as a first timer of any mountain hike. Baraka was also taking lots of videos and photos for us, which is amazing as we love photos and videos. He was so patient as well in teaching us Swahili words that were very useful in encouraging porters climbing up with all the gears and camp stuff. This was one of the highlights of trip. This made the entire trip, although difficult, memorable and enjoyable.

When we got to the top, we were served with a sumptuous lunch! There were lots of food for us to replenish all the energy we lost.

Eric, our driver was very pleasant as well. Although we didn’t manage to interact with him a lot, he was very polite and always smiling the limited time we had with him.

+ on our way to the hotel, they stopped and offered to take photos of us with Mt. Kilimanjaro as our backdrop!

Wonderfully communicative safari tour company for Tanzania
5/5

We have just returned from our first safari in Tanzania, and used Tanzania Songbirds Safaris for 2 tours from our Arusha base. We did both the Arusha National Park Tour and a full day tour to the Materuni Village for a Chagga cultural coffee experience. From the first communication, Isra explained fully what would be included, the time of pickup and approximate delivery back to our Arusha Inn, who our guide and driver would be, and the total cost. Because we booked two tours with Tanzania Songbirds, we were given a discount, and we felt the value for what we received was excellent. I have reviewed The Arusha National Park Tour separately, and both tours were excellent, but the hike to the Materuni Waterfalls, the coffee making experience, learning about the Chagga culture, and the delicious lunch were highlights of an amazing 3 week trip to Africa. The Chemka Hot Springs was also included in our tour, but we took a big longer to do the waterfall hike (due to my husband's recent knee surgery), and then we took our time enjoying the coffee making process and the lunch, so we opted not to do the hot springs. The whole day was so enjoyable and educational. Our guide that walked us to the falls was excellent, the Chagga people who helped us with the coffee making experience were excellent (and fun!), but the standout was our Songbirds' guide, Daudi. He did an amazing job of giving us details about Tanzania in general, the history, the people, the culture, etc., that the drive flew by. We were so impressed with his knowledge that we would recommend you specifically ask for him if you book a tour with Songbirds. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the Kilimanjaro/Arusha area. We had such a great day, and wonderful Chagga coffee to bring home as a souvenir! Don't hesitate to book a tour with Tanzania Songbirds. It's a. wonderful company with equally great guides; you'll be happy you used them!
