The most transparent operator in Tanzania — and a host who never sleeps
We recently traveled to Tanzania with this team, and the experience exceeded every expectation. What really sets them apart is the host, Ding. He stayed online for most of the day, keeping an eye on every group, and was always the first to respond whenever we had a question or a problem — hotel arrangements, transport, even an accommodation issue that came up in the middle of the night. He didn't just forward messages; he worked through it with us until it was solved. That kind of hands-on attention is rare.
Our guide was equally impressive: deeply experienced, calm, and clearly someone who had been carefully selected. You can feel the standard they hold their people to. On top of that, their quote was the most transparent of every company we contacted, with no hidden extras — and genuinely the best value.
If you're planning a trip to Tanzania or anywhere in Africa, I can't recommend them enough. I'll be sending every friend who asks me about safari their way.

Songbird goes above and beyond to provide unforgettable tours.
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.

Welcoming, hardworking and helpful
Our safari in Tanzania was an absolute dream from start to finish! Everything went perfectly throughout the entire trip. We visited Lake Manyara, Tarangire, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and each park offered something unique and spectacular.
A special mention to our guide, Samuel, who was top-notch from start to finish—attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. The ultimate highlight was managing to spot all of the Big 5! From the iconic elephant herds in Tarangire to seeing lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffaloes in their natural habitat, every single moment was unbelievable. The organization was seamless, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

Geeman combines mastery of his craft with warm friendliness.
As we pulled out of Nairobi and into the various camps, we saw that there are many tours in this country. Not once did I look to the right or the left and wish that I had gone with a different company. Jockey Tours is an efficient, friendly service that finds balance and in all things and leaves you feeling taken care of.

Had a great 4 days with Pascal. Mother Nature was on our side and we spotted the big 5. He was very knowledgeable and shared everything he knew.
Great few days. Thank you!

Suricata were the best you could possibly want
The 3 day climb up Mt Meru was unforgettable. Very well organised by Suricata and the group was great. David the guide really enhanced the experience, he was the perfect mountain leader and with him there was no doubt that we were going to reach the summit.
I'll come back to do Kilimanjaro with David soon.

Organised and at your service for your safari in Tanzania
We saw the Big 5, so maybe we can say that it’s worth it anyway !
The experience of camping is great ! I wasn’t convinced, but now I’m sure I would do it this way again.
The guide was nice and generous.
Food is good, tent as well, everything’s organised and prepared for you, you can just enjoy the moment.
For sure it will remain a amazing moment for me !
As an improvement : I would say that more time observing the animals would be nice. We rush a lot, even if we are the only car around. There’s no reason to rush that much, also because we sometimes lose time for something else less important.
I’d say more time stopped with the engine off would definitely make the experience even better.
Thank you for this experience again !
