Sam Welgideon our safari guide was absolutely awesome. Brilliant knowledge and engagements
Highly recommend Goldfinch for first class organisation and high level professionalism
Faultless organisation of a fantastic safari experience
Goldfinch were selected from the many on offer on the basis of offering a 5 day/4 night experience at a variety of National Parks for a price that seemed in line with other offerings. They delivered an experience that will live long in the memory. Robert was excellent as the organiser - he responded quickly and clearly to any questions raised, the offer and (subsequent revisions requested by us) was well presented and left no doubt as to what we should expect. Our driver for the duration was Sam had excellent English, was very affable and informative - not just about the wildlife but on all aspects of Tanzanian life. He felt 'part of the family'. (We were travelling as a group of two couples). The Land Cruiser we used was new and comfortable. It was cleaned down and out every evening, which was a nice touch. The Lodges we stayed in were excellent - both in terms of quality, staff friendliness and service. The safaris themselves were spectacular from the walking safari at Arusha to the mbreathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and the majesty of Serengeti. Everything went to plan. I would have no doubts in recommending Goldfinch.
Goldfinch Adventures gave us an outstanding safari experience from start to finish!
I’ve always dreamed of going on safari and as it was my 60th birthday, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to tick it off my bucket list and celebrate in style.
When you first start cluelessly researching the various companies to choose from, it can be daunting and overwhelming.
The moment I came into contact with Brenda- all the uncertainty disappeared. With calming reassurance, she educated me about the safari process and advised the best itinerary to suit our budget.
Brenda’s advice was spot on! Every detail was thoughtfully planned and the logistics were seamless.
The safari itself far exceeded any expectations we had, it was a truly extraordinary experience!
Our driver, Seleman is gifted with such skill and confidence on the roads. He is knowledgeable, friendly and funny.
We called him “Eagle Eyes” because he spotted way more animals than we could have ever imagined. His passion for wildlife shone through and he was a joy to be with for three days.
The accommodations were absolutely outstanding. The staff treated us with such warmth and care. They made us feel completely looked after and part of the family.
I will never forget my 60th birthday and everyone in Africa who celebrated it with me- including the Masai Tribe!
If you’re looking for a safari company that is reliable and genuinely cares about giving you the best possible experience, this is the one. This trip will stay with us forever.

I think I will really struggle to do justice to just how perfect everything was.
We were going on safari to celebrate my daughters 21st and partners 40th which landed on the same day.
Right from the very beginning Brenda, who sent out original quote, was fantastic. Very responsive to emails, answered all my questions, made tweaks that I wanted. She also helped to arrange the little extras for the birthday celebrations. The highlight of which was the private bush dinner we had when we stayed at Serengeti Sametu Camp. She even met us at the airport to introduce us to our guide and make sure all was ok which I thought was a lovely touch.
All the accommodation that Brenda recommended was fantastic. As well as Sametu we stayed at Suricata Boma Lodge and Moyo Tented village. The staff at all the accommodations were amazing. Very welcoming and friendly and the service was excellent.
The safari experience itself was even better than we imagined. This was in large part due to our guide Swahibu. Not only did he have 25 years experience of the safari and the knowledge to go with it he was also very good company. He actually joined us for dinner one evening and was great getting to know a bit more about him and his family. Swahibu took us to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. All with very different characteristics and different things to see. The animals were obviously the highlight but it would be easy to focus only on that and not notice how breathtakingly beautiful Tanzania is as well. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more from the safari experience.
In terms of price. I got a quote from Trailfinders and thought safari wasn’t for me!!! But the value for money from booking from a specialist operating inside Tanzania made it all possible. I don’t think it made a single bit of difference in terms of the quality of the experience but made a huge difference to my bank balance 😃.
As I say probably can’t do it full justice I’m a short review but all I can say is I can’t recommend the experience enough. And if I ever go back I will be using Goldfinch Adventures!
