Our guide Israel organized a perfect safari with incredible encounters of Tanz. wildlife and culture
Organizing a 7 day safari for my wife, my 2 grown-up girls and me to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti in combination with cultural experience at Arusha and visiting Datoga and Hadzabe tribe Israel exactly met our hopes of what to see. The direct communication via whatsapp made planing easy, reliable and smooth. Picking us up at the airport, Israel took care of everything, provided perfect logistics and amazing food and facilities. Chosing perfectly located, clean and comfortable accommodations with great food made each night truly relaxing. The accommodations in Serengeti were absolutely special! During the day, we were served hot lunch, soft drinks and coffee.
His knowledge of Tanzanian wildlife as well as Tanzian culture is incredible, we learned so much more than we ever would have expected. We saw all Big Five and had so many incredible encounters with wild animals due to his effort of showing us as much as possible. I couldn´t think of a better safari experience.
But most important, his friendly way of taking care of the group and his empathy made us feel like friends, not customers! As his company is evolving, he is meeting the wishes of his customers in a perfect way. His dedication to provide an outstanding experience from dawn to dusk is extraordinary.
All in all, my whole family would advise everyone to book the safari with Tanzania Songbirds Safari because I am sure you will have a unique authentic experience, worth so much more than the price requested and unforgettable for the rest of your life!

Four Days That Felt Like a Living Nature Documentary
Our safari through Tsavo West, Tsavo East, and Amboseli National Parks was nothing short of breathtaking. In just four days, we encountered elephants, giraffes, lions, giraffes, and many other animals in their natural habitat, with the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as the backdrop.
From the very first contact, communication with the tour operator Mackos and our main contact Brian was excellent – fast, clear, and reliable. Our driver and guide Sebastian was outstanding: calm, knowledgeable, and always focused on our safety and comfort. His instinct for wildlife and the best viewpoints made every day special.
The vehicle may not have been brand new, but it was very reliable and perfectly suited for the safari. Considering the overall experience, the value for money was excellent. We would choose this exact tour again without hesitation. It truly exceeded all our expectations.

Amazing experience with Beyond the Plains
I had a great experience with Beyond the Plains and Nicole as our tour guide. We requested specifically for a female guide as it was just me and my mom traveling, and we prefered a woman as guide, and Beyond the Plains was able to accomodate this no issue whatsoever.
The whole trip was punctual and well arranged. All the accomodations were luxurious and nice. If we had any questions, support was given almost immideately.
I will recommend Beyond the Plains with my colleagues and anyone who is looking into a safari in Kenya.
Tips for future travelers:
The itenerary is customisable, so if I would book again, I would book in a bit more rest as the safaris do get full on - maybe a rest morning or evening in between full days of game drives. And I'd request for shorter car trips - we had one day of 8 hours of travel between parks which in hindsight was a bit much.
I would also bring shillings instead of dollars, which will be much more widely accepted and useful for tips.

Excellent tour operator! Winnie was amazing from organizing my safari, to checking in on me!
Winnie customized my safari taking into consideration my needs and wants. I also let her l know what my budget was, so she could plan accordingly. The itinerary worked out great! I also let her know that I was a bit picky with my accommodation, so she gave me a choice of places for me to pick.

I will recomend 100%.
We had an incredible safari experience in Kenya thanks to our guide, Collins. From the very first day, it was clear that he is not only extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, but also genuinely passionate about what he does.
Collins was always attentive, kind, and very professional with the whole group. He knew how to manage the group perfectly, making sure everyone felt comfortable and involved at all times. His knowledge of animals and the parks was impressive, and he was always happy to explain things in a clear and interesting way.
He has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and always seemed to know exactly where to go and when. Thanks to him, every game drive felt exciting and meaningful. Beyond his skills as a guide, he is also a very pleasant and approachable person, which made the entire experience even better.
Without a doubt, if I ever return to Kenya, I would want Collins to be my guide again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable safari experience.

So professional and caring, everything was planned to the smallest details.
That was an amazing and so unique experience!!
we had the honour to make our dream come true! All the crew members were so nice to us and made us feel so comfortable.
Before we started the trip I didn’t know what to expect, but the guiders and the company made it unforgettable❤️
Thanks to the guiders we reached the top of the mountain and they believed in us.
If I could have done it again I wouldn’t change a thing! And I wish I will have another chance to visit Tanzania again!!

Taufique was an amazing guide!
Frank and Taufique from Golden Rwanda Safaris made my bucket list item of gorilla trekking an amazing experience! They were communicative, friendly, and organized from the very beginning. Next time I'm back in Rwanda, I'll be reaching back out.

Chloe was absolutely amazing!
Chloe was very attentive and easy to work with. She was readily available and always was prompt in her responses. As we had no idea where to go, we put the trip entirely in Chloe's hands - and she delivered the trip of a lifetime! From our first safari to the last - everything was above our expectations.
