Value for money

5/5

We had an unforgettable 7-day Big 5 Classic Safari with Golden Trips Tanzania, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we landed in Arusha to the final day at Lake Manyara, everything was well-organised and smoothly coordinated.

Our guide, Hardson, was simply fantastic – striking the perfect balance between sharing his deep knowledge and giving us space to enjoy the experience. Being a small group (just three of us) meant we had personalised attention and flexibility, which made the entire trip feel very special. Hardson made sure we saw all the animals up close – including all of the Big 5 – and his expertise truly made the safari unforgettable.

The accommodations were good value for money, with Karatu Village Lodge and Osinon Tented Camp standing out as our favourites for their comfort, service, and atmosphere. The only slight downside was the rooftop restaurant at Summit Safari Lodge, which was quite drafty and the dinner menu underwhelming (though breakfast was excellent). We shared this feedback with the operator.

With so many safari operators to choose from, we are very glad we picked Golden Trips Tanzania. The itinerary, attention to detail, and overall experience we received for the price was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, well-organised safari with a great guide and good mid-range lodges.

Unbelievable experience from amazing experts

5/5

Thank you Golden trips Tanzania for making safari experience amazing. Bonifacio put together plan with all things we wanted to see. Rachel took care of us upon arrival and communicated all little things nice and clear. Our guide Hudson was great driver, found best spots to view animals and answered all our questions. And Ivan transported us from and to airport safely, on time and with good sense of humor

5 day safari + 4 day Zanzibar

4/5

Everything was not perfect but Anitha and the team of Golden Trips reacted very well when I complained about non acceptable things.
(For information, I did a 5 day safari + 4 day Zanzibar.)
Choosing Golden Trip does not mean you will do the safari in a Golden Trip Jeep. As a solo traveler I asked to join a shared safari, so they put me in a SimbaMagic Jeep. The safari was awesome but some things did not happen as described in the quote. For instance I spent the first and the fourth night in a different hotel as indicated in the quote. It was not as good as expected, I complained, and Anitha upgraded my next hotel in Zanzibar, which was very good.
I also complained about an activity in Zanzibar (the dolphin tour was a mess) and they sent me some other locals to make another tour and it was way much better.

To conclude, I would highlight the reactivity, the quality of the quotes, the customer orientation, the availability and flexibility of Anitha and the team of Golden Trips.

Excellent on safari, not so good in the pre-trip organisation

3/5

We booked a three night Serengeti safari, through Golden Trips Tanzania. First thing to say, is that Dan, our guide and driver was fantastic. Freindly and knowledgable, he did everything he could to give us an amazing experience, and it was fantastic, and none of what I talk about below was his fault. He was brilliant.

However, the arrangements before we got to Tanzania is another story. At first the company was great. Very flexible when costing up different scenarios and happy to suggest lodges and areas to visit. Great. We ended up booking a three night trip, flying into the Serengeti on day one, and flying out of Arusha on day four. We paid a deposit early, then we had to pay 40% deposit three months before the trip, as they had to book the flights, so needed the cash - no problem.

The issues started about two weeks before the trip. I had to really press hard to get any update on the flight bookings, sending multiple messages asking for the fligth details and the tickets. But five days before we left for Africa, they 'suggested' a different flight on day four. At that point, it became clear that although they'd had my money for three months, no flight had been booked. I was able to look at the flight they originally told me we'd be on, on the airlines web-site, and it was fully booked. So I had to agree to a different flight. They told me it was because the airline had changed it's schedule, but the web-sie said otherwise. Nothing I could at that point, so we had to take the change.

The next issue came the day before we left for Africa, when they contacted me suggesting a change of accomodation on the second night, as it would be 'easier' for us and give us a better experiance. Again, I suspect the real reason behind the change was that they had failed to book the second night at all. I know that because that day I emailed the three accomodations we were due to stay at under the original plan, and received a confirmation from two of them, but not the third. There was no booking. As you might imagine, this caused a significant amount of stress, 24 hours before leaving for the trip.

During the correspondance on the flight and the accomodation, I kept getting apologies and promises that they would do everything to make the experience amazing when I arrived in Africa. Which brings me to the last issue. We arrived at the Serengeti airstrip at 8am on day one, along with lots of other people, who were all meeting their various guides from different tour operators. Over the course of an hour, every other group had been picked up, while myself and my family were still waiting. Even the airport staff started asking us why we were still there. I had to message the company numerous times during the wait and they kept promising the guide was 5, 10, 15 mins away. The guide eventually turned up 90 minutes late, and told us that there had been a mix up in the bookings and the company had originally sent him to a different airstrip to pick up a different group, before contacting him and turnign him around.

So in summary, fine on initial contact and organisation, total nightmare in the two weeks leading up to the trip, brilliant while on the ground in the Serengeti.

An Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure!

5/5

Golden Trips organised an incredible 7-day Kilimanjaro trek (Lemosho route) and a 3-day safari for us. The entire experience was fantastic and well-executed. Overall, good value for money.

Planning: The planning process was smooth. Leticia was very responsive and patiently answered all our questions while creating the itinerary.

Kilimanjaro Trek: The 7-day trek was an unforgettable experience. Our guides, Bob and Noah, were exceptional—supportive, informative, and dedicated to getting us to the summit. We were consistently impressed by the quality and quantity of the food provided (thanks, Cheeks).

As moderately fit trekkers, we found the route manageable, but Summit Night is a true test of perseverance. Our guides' motivation was essential in helping us reach Uhuru Peak. A huge shoutout to the team of porters - Denis, Alex, Dito, Joshua, Sam, Erinest, Mashal, Bayo and Ruga - the successful climb would not have been possible without all your hard work.

Safari: Our 3-day safari covered Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Deo, was fantastic. His knowledge and ability to spot wildlife were top-notch, and we saw 4 of the Big 5.

For first-time safari-goers, we'd recommend focusing on 1-2 parks in 3 days, as visiting all three felt rushed. You ultimately trade time in the parks for time on the road. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were our highlights.

Overall, we highly recommend Golden Trips for a memorable Tanzanian adventure.
