Guest stories
Some came back a second, third and fourth time
These accounts were written by guests themselves and published on our English website. We keep their wording and only tidy the layout.

Repeat guests are the number we watch
Birding travel is hard to sell twice on marketing alone. What really shows quality is whether the same people book again.
In the letters our guests send back, returning is the norm: Tanzania first, then Uganda, then Kenya. One guest completed four different Tanzanian routes — northern, north-eastern, southern and coastal — within a single year.
In their own words
"We quickly decided with a friend to make a tour to Kenya. I thought of Tanzania Birding, with whom we had already visited Tanzania and Uganda a couple of years back. We found a time slot when Anthony was available as a guide, and Tina took care of the bookings in no time (less than one month). The itinerary was very well chosen, and the accommodations available on our dates were excellent: comfortable, with good meals, whether in lodges or tented camps. It was a great pleasure to meet Anthony again, and we had a wonderful time discovering the beauty of the Kenyan nature and wildlife, both feathered and furry with him. Our Kenyan driver, Kevin, drove safely and knew the birds and other wildlife very well, stopping at the right places and spots. Thank you, all the Tanzania Birding Team for your excellent jobs. We had 18 wonderful days in Kenya."
"We had the most wonderful time, 300+ birds (103 lifers), 35+ mammals, including a cheetah successfully killing a gazelle. All the lodges selected were wonderful: Thorn Tree Bush Camp, Tarangire Safari Lodge, Tloma Lodge, and Korona Villa. Moses our driver and guide was superb, sharp eyes and very enthusiastic, did all the long drives with great ease. Novatus was very keen and knew his birds well. It was a wonderful holiday for all of us. Thank you Tanzania Birding for organising everything."
"From the first step with Tanzania Birding and Beyond we loved it: talking through their 11 day itinerary, it is perfect. Then for Tina in office to match us with the best guide and driver ever, our tour with Abdul and Boniphace was exceptional in every way. Itinerary and arrangements were just right for what we envisioned; they listened and advised perfectly to set us on a wonderful journey to the Arusha area, Serengeti, Olduvai, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Guide Abdul led us to hundreds of extraordinary birds with driver Boniphace. We saw wildlife and natural settings beyond imagination. We loved the tag 'We Stop for Birds' because so much would be missed of experiencing Tanzania without stopping for birds, and still having plenty of time for the wildlife."
"We did enjoy our tour very much with Anthony and Roger. I could not ask for a better guide than Anthony, who is the ultimate expert on the birds of Tanzania and knows the locations and behaviors of all of the special Tanzanian birds. We saw even more new birds than we had expected, as Anthony continued to show us the special birds in each and every place that we visited. Roger is an excellent driver who also has extensive knowledge of the birds and wildlife, your company is very fortunate to have him as a driver."
