An unforgettable safari experience
We had an absolutely wonderful few days and truly a dream week, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Emmanuel Mbise.
He was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable, always sharing interesting facts and stories with us and making every day even more enjoyable. He also speaks Spanish very well, which helped us a lot throughout the trip and made communication so easy and comfortable.
Emmanuel was always attentive and made sure we were enjoying every moment. He even took great care to help us get lots of beautiful photos and memories from the trip, which we really appreciated.
Thank you so much for everything, Emmanuel, for taking such good care of us and for making this experience even more special. We truly hope our paths cross again one day.
Asante sana, Emmanuel!

A Perfect Trip
We went on a seven-day safari tour visiting Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Our guide, Innocent, was professional and friendly, while Helena from the sales team was quick to respond and effectively resolved any issues.

A great operator, well organized and very attentive to every detail.
An amazing tour! We spent 4 days on safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and we absolutely loved it. We experienced some incredible moments and stayed in mid-range lodges, which we found to be very good value for money. The food was also delicious every day, and the drivers did an incredible job.

Deceiving consumers
My experience with Inspired Budget Safaris was extremely disappointing and, in my view, completely unacceptable.
I booked a 6-day safari for September 23–28, 2026. According to the original agreement, I was required to pay 30% as a deposit, with the remaining 70% to be paid at their office before the safari.
However, after I had already paid the deposit, the company repeatedly changed the payment arrangement and pressured me to pay the remaining balance in advance. I was repeatedly told that if I did not make the additional payment immediately, they might not be able to arrange my safari.
Because I was worried about losing my safari and my entire trip was approaching, I eventually paid the full USD 1,910.
And after receiving the full payment, everything changed.
The safari was not provided at all. I had to find another safari operator at the very last minute, while already in Kenya.
The company then confirmed in writing that they would give me a full refund. However, despite this written promise, I still have not received my USD 1,910 back.
From my experience, I feel that I was repeatedly pressured to pay money that was not due at that time, and once the company received the full payment, they failed to provide the service and have still not returned my money.
This was not simply a bad safari experience — there was no safari at all.
I trusted this company, followed their payment requests, and paid everything they asked for. In return, I was left without the service I paid for, forced to make emergency alternative arrangements, and am still fighting to get my money back.
I strongly advise other travelers to be extremely careful before making any payment to this company. Get every payment term in writing and do not assume that paying in full will guarantee that your safari will actually take place.
I am still waiting for the full USD 1,910 refund that the company promised in writing.

An Unforgettable 3-Day Safari Experience with Tanzania Songbirds Safaris
I recently completed a 3-day safari with Tanzania Songbirds Safaris, and honestly, the whole experience was much better than I expected. From the very first communication until the end of the safari, everything was well organized, professional, and handled with genuine care. If you are planning a safari in Tanzania and are wondering which company to choose, I can confidently say that my experience with Tanzania Songbirds Safaris was a very positive one, and I would definitely recommend giving them a chance.
One of the things that really stood out to me was the communication and personal attention from our travel consultant, Isra. He was very attentive from the beginning and, more importantly, he really listened to what we wanted from the safari. It did not feel like we were simply booking a standard package and being sent on a tour. Isra took the time to understand our needs, answer our questions, explain the arrangements, and make sure everything was prepared properly. Whenever we needed clarification or had a request, he was responsive and helpful. That kind of personal attention makes a big difference, especially when you are traveling to another country and want to feel confident that everything has been arranged correctly.
The safari itself was also extremely well organized. During those three days, we felt that the arrangements were taken care of properly, allowing us to concentrate on enjoying the experience instead of worrying about logistics. The timing, transportation, guiding, and general organization all came together very smoothly. What I appreciated most was that everything felt well coordinated without making the experience feel rushed or uncomfortable.
A special mention definitely has to go to our guide, Erick. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and professional, and we could see that he knows the safari environment very well. His experience made a big difference throughout the trip. He guided us carefully, shared information with us, and helped us understand much more about what we were seeing instead of simply driving us from one place to another. His knowledge and experience gave us confidence, and he clearly takes his responsibility as a guide seriously. Having a good guide can completely change a safari experience, and for us, Erick was a very important part of what made these three days so enjoyable.
What I also liked about Tanzania Songbirds Safaris was the overall feeling of being looked after. A safari is not only about seeing wildlife; it is also about the organization, communication, guide, transportation, timing, and how comfortable you feel throughout the journey. In our case, all these details were handled very well. The team made the experience enjoyable and stress-free, and we were able to focus on appreciating the beauty and excitement of Tanzania.
After the safari, I can honestly say that I am happy with the decision we made to travel with Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. From Isra's excellent communication and attention to our needs, to Erick's experience and guidance in the field, the people behind the safari really contributed to making it a memorable experience.
For anyone who is currently researching safari companies in Tanzania, comparing different operators, or feeling unsure about whether to book with Tanzania Songbirds Safaris, my advice based on my own experience is simple: don't hesitate to contact them and discuss what you are looking for. Ask your questions, explain your expectations, and let them help you organize your trip. My experience showed me that there are people behind the company who genuinely pay attention to the traveler and want the safari to go well.
Three days may sound short, but with good organization, an experienced guide, and a team that listens to you, those three days can become an incredibly memorable part of your Tanzania trip. I am very grateful to Isra, Erick, and the Tanzania Songbirds Safaris team for the way they handled our trip and for giving us such a wonderful safari experience.
Thank you, Tanzania Songbirds Safaris, for an unforgettable 3 days. I would be happy to recommend you to other travelers who are planning to experience Tanzania, and I hope many more travelers get the opportunity to enjoy the country with your team the way we did. 🇹🇿🦁🐘🌍
