Best Birding Safari company in Tanzania. Communicative, Honest, Safe and boy do they deliver Birds!
I had the pleasure of joining a birding safari organized by Charles Tours for ten days in August, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The itinerary included iconic locations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Arusha NP, and Tarangire. I was fortunate to see nearly all of the large mammals close up-missing only the elusive rhino but my trip was focused on Birds and boy did Amani and Abdul from Charles tours deliver.
The birding aspect of the trip exceeded all expectations. I recorded 400 bird species and managed to photograph over 300 of them, thanks to the incredible expertise of my bird guide, Abdul. His deep knowledge of bird habitats and bird calls made every outing productive. 400 species in 10 days outside of migration is an exceptional total.
Amani, who organized the trip, did a fantastic job with all the logistics. From accommodations and meals to park entries, everything was seamless, safe, and well thought out.
There are hundreds of tour operators to choose from and we encountered many of them lost in the Serengeti so choose wisely.
If you're a birder or nature enthusiast looking for a well-organized, rewarding safari experience in Tanzania, I highly recommend Charles Tours. Their team's professionalism, local expertise, and passion for wildlife made this trip one of the best I've ever taken.

Excellent!
We spent a day in Tarangire National Park with our tour group.
The arrival and departure went smoothly and all our wishes were implemented in the planning and execution.
It was an extraordinary experience for us, as we were very lucky with the sighting of the animals and our guide Isaya knew the national park very well.
The price/performance ratio was unbeatable and we would book a second tour at any time!
Highly recommended!

A great experience.
We had a great time in Kampala visiting the city during a walking tour. The colorful markets full of fresh fruits are delightful. We visited the great Mosque and had a great point of view on the whole city. We enjoyed day in Entebbe, spending some time on Coco Beach, a small tour on lake Victoria and a visit to the botanical garden.
And of course we were amazed by the 3 day safari in Murchison Falls national Park . We had the opportunity to meet the Big Five plus girafes, monkeys, antilopes, crocodiles and lots of beautiful birds. We had a great experience with Moroka expeditions, very professional guides who understood perfectly our needs as a large family.
Communication was very easy with all Ugandans.

My Safari in Kenya – A Journey we will Never Forget
My Safari in Kenya – A Journey we will Never Forget
We have travelled to many places, but nothing compares to the magic I felt in Kenya. I booked a 3-day safari through Safari Bookings that took me from Mombasa to Emali by train and onward to Amboseli in Jeep, every moment felt like stepping into a nature documentary.
Amboseli: Elephants and Kilimanjaro Amboseli was a dream. One morning, we watched a herd of elephants cross the dusty plains with Mount Kilimanjaro glowing in the background. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing elephants roam freely beneath the towering silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is where that dream comes to life. From the moment we entered the park, the landscape felt cinematic—dusty plains dotted with acacia trees, shimmering swamps, and the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro looming like a guardian in the distance. Our driver was phenomenal, effortlessly spotting wildlife and sharing stories that brought the ecosystem to life.
The highlight? Watching a herd of elephants cross the marshlands at sunset. Calves playfully splashed in the water while older matriarchs led the way with quiet authority. It was humbling and beautiful. We also saw lions lounging in the shade, stalking prey in the distance, and flocks of flamingos painting the wetlands pink. Birdwatchers will be in heaven—Amboseli is home to over 400 bird species. The park is well-maintained, and the lodges nearby offer stunning views and warm hospitality. It’s dusty, yes—but that’s part of the charm. Bring a mask, scarf, a good camera, and an open heart. Amboseli isn’t just a destination—it’s a revelation. If you love elephants, giraffe, gazelles, zebras, monkeys’ hippopotamus and many more animals roaming freely and dramatic landscapes, and raw, untamed beauty, this is the safari for you.
People & Culture
Beyond the wildlife, the Kenyan people made this trip unforgettable. Very friendly helpful, our driver was brilliant knew the route and knowledge of most animal behaviours and their history exceptional driver/guide.
Lodges & Comfort
Each lodge was thoughtfully chosen — from canvas tents under the stars to eco-lodges with panoramic views. The food was fresh, the staff were attentive, and the evenings were filled with laughter and storytelling.
Final Reflection Kenya didn’t just show me animals — it showed me life in its rawest, most beautiful form. If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate. Kenya will change you.

Full of experience and knowledge. Reliable, responsible and trustworthy.
When comes to select an agency to fully execute our Safari plan. We value responsibility, knowledge and experience. From the first responder to our tour guide, and the agency owner, you will see and sense the above qualities delivering from each of their team member. No doubt, we had a great time in Tanzania, not only we saw all kinds of animals, also even had luck to see wildebeests’ crossing the Mara River. Our tour guide Big Alex, he is a live textbook and the big papa. He introduced much of animal’s behavior patterns, living habits that I kept recoding his words. Moreover, the level of security when you are with Alex, you know he can take care of anything, the superman power. It’s a fun and memorable trip, we closed our trip with having dinner under the moon and stars, drinking around the camp fire, bonding deeper with nature and each other. It will never be forgotten.

Local knowledgeable staff prepared to work with us on planning our journey from beginning to end
After contacting Off2Africa with regards to a segment of our proposed trip to Sth Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, Chloe supplied the information requested in a very timely manner. We then advised her of our larger plans and she offered to put an itinerary together on that basis. She was very punctual, had many ideas, was familiar with many areas and safaris. Importantly she worked with us to ensure the proposed trip was within our budget. It did not take long to finalise the itinerary that included almost everything on our wish list. All accommodation, safaris, boat trips, internal airfares and very importantly all the coordinated transport from arriving to departing Africa. She was also available (given she lives in the region) if we wanted to clarify anything. My wife and I (& other friends we were travelling with) could not believe how much we had enjoyed the trip and believe we got fantastic value and sightseeing for the time we allocated for our visit.
Visiting Africa could be fraught with issues and it is difficult (& timely) to do your own homework so we would strongly suggest you get some local knowledge and would highly recommend Chloe from Off2Africa.

The best of the best
We had an absolutely incredible experience with "AFRICAN FAIRYTALE TOURS & SAFARIS". Everything was organized impeccably. We traveled with our 7 year old child and everything was perfect. Our program included safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana and a visit to Victoria Falls.
The guides took care of us every moment. They are extremely friendly and attentive to every detail, which made us feel safe throughout the trip.
I wholeheartedly recommend this agency to anyone who wants to discover the beauty of authentic Africa and have an unforgettable adventure. THANK YOU, AFRICAN FAIRYTALE TOURS & SAFARIS". YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
