The Story Behind "Songela"
At Songela Camp and Safaris, our name carries deep cultural significance and reflects the warmth of Tanzanian hospitality. The word "Songela" comes from the Nyiramba tribe, an indigenous community in central Tanzania. In their language, Songela means "Asante" or "Thank You." This name symbolizes our deep gratitude for nature, our guests, and the incredible wildlife that makes Tanzania one of the most breathtaking safari destinations in the world.
A Name Rooted in Gratitude
For centuries, the Nyiramba people have lived in harmony with nature, embracing a life of respect and appreciation for the land, animals, and people around them. Inspired by this tradition, Songela Camp and Safaris was founded to celebrate the beauty of Africa and to share the richness of our heritage with travelers from all over the world. When you embark on a safari with us, you are not just a guest—you become part of a story of gratitude. Whether it’s the spectacular wildlife encounters, the breathtaking landscapes, or the warm hospitality at our camp, every experience is a way of saying "Songela" to the wonders of Tanzania.
