Raymond was the best tour guide that we could we have wished for!
We planed our tour with Tausi. After choosing a safari option, she contacted us via WhatsApp to complete the booking. Communication was very good, she answered almost immediately. Pick up from and to the airport and the accommodation before the safari was included in the price. The Tour war unbelievable and we would recommend to everyone!

Excellent
I went for a safari in Masai Mara in June and it was really good. David was my driver guide. I highly recommend afritourz.

The best! Did his very best to give us a first class experience and enjoyment of the safari and trip
Upon arriving in Tanzania Vincent gave us a very warm welcome. We spent almost 2 weeks together traveling through different sceneries and loges for an incredible stay. All animals passed by multiple times. Vincent provided unique views and places that made it the best and most memorable holiday experience. From hunting with the Hadzabe to Tanzanian nightlife and seeiing all animals and places incl jumping with the Masai tribe. It was amazing.
When my kids are a bit older and able to enjoy as much as i did, i will return to my friend for sure!
The best thing is years later Vincent visited my family and i in Amsterdam and we spent good times together.
Still the best holiday experience by far and a great safari experience in Tanzania. If you are looking for the expertise of a local guide and ranger and personal touch, mr. Vincent Mwaimu is your man! Many thanks Kaka!

Amazingly brilliant adventure
Peter was simply the best guide we could have dreamed of. We had such an amazing tour with him for our 7 day honeymoon safari. Peter was absolutely dedicated to giving us the best experience possible, tailored to how we wanted to do it. We often wanted to spend time observing wildlife behaviour and Peter was more than happy to wait while we watched. At other times we were able to take advantage of Peter’s skilful driving to race off to a sighting that had come in over the radio; we very quickly knew we were in safe hands. Peter’s knowledge of the wildlife and Tanzania’s geography, history, and music was second to none. The afrobeat vibes, Peter’s friendly personality, the tasty lunches (veggie friendly options always available, I hope you like dhal & rice..), and the absolutely the unbelievable wildlife sightings made this a truly unforgettable experience for us both.
Namayani arranged the whole booking for us and made the whole experience from start to finish so smooth. The three places we stayed in/near the parks were fantastic, most notably the Land of Nature Tented Camp which was really brilliant! 🦁
FYI, if you’re staying at Arusha Farm House, you can ask at reception for an escorted walk off the premises, we went down to Lake Duluti.

Wonderfully communicative safari tour company for Tanzania
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!

Unforgettable safari with Eli, Deo and Julius
We did our safari with Toilo Tours and Safaris and it was a genuinely excellent experience from start to finish. Julius coordinated the whole trip: he replied to every message we sent almost immediately, and once we were there he adapted the itinerary to everything we asked for, without any fuss.
Our guide was Eli, a driver-guide who really made the trip. He spots animals from incredibly far away and knows exactly where to position the vehicle so you can actually see them properly. His knowledge of the wildlife is deep, and he shares it all the time: little facts and curiosities about each animal that turn a sighting into something you understand and remember. Thanks to him we saw the Big Five and many more animals than we expected.
Deo was our chef, and the food was very good: varied, generous, and always ready on time, which is not something you take for granted out in the bush.
Both of them are genuinely friendly, warm and easy to be around. The whole atmosphere was relaxed, and it felt more like travelling with people you like than with a service provider.
One detail we really appreciated: Julius lent us a camera so we could photograph the animals properly and keep the memories. Fantastic touch.
Overall, a very, very good safari: excellent communication, great food, wonderful people, and the feeling that everything was taken care of. We would go back with them without a second thought. Highly recommended.

The best safari and tour guide
We had an amazing and unforgettable experience with Serengeti Clarity and his incredible guide Abdul.
He explained everything about the animals, the wildlife, and the culture. Also he knew the best places to find and see the big 5.
Abdul made the experience perfect, I will never forget!
