Whether following the winding Seronera River or exploring the open plains, every turn offers a new spectacle, from graceful gazelles to wandering elephant herds. We enjoy a scenic picnic lunch in the heart of the park to maximize our time in the field. As the sun begins to set over the golden horizon, we return to your mid-range tented camp in Central Serengeti.

Having met Israel on my first trip to Tanzania two years ago and having stayed in close contact ever since, there was no question that if I ever brought my family on a safari in Tanzania, it would only be with him and his company. From the very first idea to the final day, this safari was absolutely perfect. The entire process was smooth, highly professional, and reliable, and everything was taken care of with great attention to detail. The food was excellent – we enjoyed a warm lunch every day, plenty of drinks throughout the day, and most importantly: coffee. The accommodations were carefully selected, comfortable, and very clean, and they contributed greatly to the overall quality of the experience. What truly made this safari exceptional, however, was Israel himself. His passion, dedication, and genuine commitment to giving us the best possible experience were evident every single day. He went above and beyond to help us see as much wildlife as possible, and thanks to his knowledge, experience, and instinct for being in the right place at the right time, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five. On a personal level, Israel is an extraordinary person. His calm and patient nature, combined with his incredible knowledge and his willingness to answer every question—no matter how small—made our safari truly special. We learned so much about Tanzania’s wildlife, nature, national parks, culture, and the different tribes through him. I can proudly say that our friendship deepened even further during the time we spent together, which was filled with meaningful conversations and plenty of laughter. My family and I felt safe, relaxed, and in the very best hands at all times. I would 100% recommend booking a safari with Israel to anyone looking for a high-quality, unforgettable, and deeply personal experience. I can only say Shukran, because the safari, our time in Tanzania, and Israel himself will forever hold a very special place in my heart.

I will come back again to Tanzania because of Tanzania Songbirds Safaris. We have never done a safari before and we haven't been to Africa yet, it was our first trip to Africa and we decided to travel to Tanzania and our host friend is from the local tour company (Tanzania Songbirds Safaris). They organized everything for us. From the beginning of arranging this trip while we contacted them until we arrived we felt very safe and made us comfortable. We visited the 4 best National Parks in Tanzania and arranged the best Mid-range accommodations for us. We went to Tarangire national park, Lake Manyara National park, Ngorongoro Crater and the best Serengeti National park. Our driver guide Jackson is very smart and knowledgeable about Tanzania in general (Wildlife, history, culture), patient and very kind. With him we saw a lot of animals on safari and everyday for us on safari was a great experience. Safari car (4X4 land cruiser, open roof), accommodations, our tour guide (Jackson), the tour operator from the company are both doing excellent jobs to make our safari meaningful and memorable. I cannot recommend them enough, but you should trust and book with them.
