We loved Swahibu’s enthusiasm and determination to explore as much as possible with the time we had.
From start to finish, Kelvin was incredibly attentive in accommodating all of our changes, and every part of the trip felt hassle-free, with plenty of food, drinks, bathroom and photo stops, opportunities to grab gifts, a different comfy lodge every night, and even a night drive arranged with another operator so we never felt we were missing out.
Our guide, Swahibu, was fantastic—his enthusiasm and determination to explore as much as possible with the time we had, his deep knowledge and clear love for the Serengeti, plus great binoculars and a real eye for positioning the vehicle, meant that even with a lot of driving every day felt packed, purposeful, and helped us discover our own love for the park. He confidently planned each next move and coordinated with other guides to find the best sightings. Goldfinch handled all logistics excellently—every flight, transfer, pickup, baggage hold, and drop-off was smooth, responses were fast whenever we needed anything, the itinerary was very customizable, and the trip was extremely well priced (we compared multiple quotes and Goldfinch was by far the most affordable for the same inclusions, plus the perk of unlimited liquor), making this an amazing option for a couple like us but equally great for families or any group.
Our only real regrets were being unable to do the Nogrongro descent as said in the itinerary and permit issues on last-day game drive which caused us to miss the few fleeting migration sightings and dramatic moments (like a lion kill) other guests caught pictures of that morning even though it was a difficult late-November window. I guess that just means we will have to come back! It was clear that the team, especially Swahibu and Kelvin, truly did their best to make it all happen. Overall, it was a wonderfully organized, stress-free, and memorable safari experience that we would happily recommend to anyone.
Simply Perfect In Every Way
I recommend Goldfinch (GF) without hesitation. I contacted five safari companies with identical enquiries, yet only two replied - and Brenda at GF responded immediately, which was a very lucky thing for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and crafted the perfect itinerary.
When I later asked if my 93-year-old father could join, she liaised with the camps straight away, and every adjustment was handled flawlessly. The camps themselves were stunning, and the staff were amazing - they even adored singing and dancing with my dad, which meant the world to us.
Our guide, Ludo, was exceptional, and we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five and so much more.
Thank you, GF, for an unforgettable adventure and memories that will last a lifetime.
Very Knowledgeable and Kind
From the booking process to the actual tours, We had an amazing experience. Kelvin did excellent in communicating with us and following up, even keeping us
Informed of political events in the area that may impact travel. He went above and beyond.
Our tour guide, Mr Swahibu did really well. He made sure we were well set up at our hotels before leaving everyday. He even made sure, on the safari, that we saw animals that we individually wanted to see. Even going deep in the jungle if that’s what it took.

Great experiences in beautiful surroundings
Really enjoyed our 5-day private tour with Goldfinch Adventures. We had a tour through Tarangine, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Mataruni. During our safari, our tour guide Joshua guided us to see and learn about all the big five in addition to other animals and wildlife in the Savanna. We had some great lodges for our overnight stays with great meals both for dinner and breakfasts. The lunches consisted of pre-made lunchboxes which also were quite good. Our last day we spent exploring the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro which was exciting - also got to try the arabica coffee with the locals.
Amazing!
We had the most amazing experience with Goldfinch, from planning with Kelvin to the best host in Sam…I cannot praise these guys enough. The safari helped us see every wild animal in its natural habitat and the evenings were fabulous in just the best accommodation. In fact the clamping tent in the middle of the Serengeti was better than any hotel room….again thanks for a truly wonderful trip. All the best The Andersons
