3-day safari: the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater
Our 3-day safari to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was an incredible adventure, made even better by our guide, Manuel. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the land made every game drive exciting.
The accommodations were just as memorable. The tented camp in the Serengeti offered an authentic, immersive safari experience, while the Acacia Farm Lodge near Ngorongoro was a luxurious and relaxing oasis.
In short, it's a can't-miss adventure, and with Manuel as your guide, a truly unforgettable experience is guaranteed!
Very reliable and helpful
Calvin who arranged the tour is very helpful and accommodating. Our tour guide Matthew is very experienced and very patient to take us to see all fives and five uglies as well as river crossing! Five of us had a wonderful time and kids love it so much! Highly recommended.

Kevin was a very reliable friendly person who kept all his promises
We had a great safari experience. Kevin organised everything perfectly. From the transfer from Zanzibar to the airport, booking the flights to Arusha and back. We did a 4 days three nights safari with the national parks Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The best thing about the tour was our guide Noah. To our surprise, he spoke German and was able to tell us a lot about the animals and the parks. The chef Baraka also looked after us very well. We opted for the low-budget version. The tour and the food were really super good. Some of the tent camps are very basic, but you know that beforehand. We would book with Kevin Goldfinch again at any time.
Safari of a Lifetime
The guys at Goldfinch planned a once in a lifetime trip for us. The were always on hand for any queries we had, going above and beyond to help us. Always on time and making sure we saw everything we wanted. Great value for money and such kind and friendly staff. Thank you for the great memories.
1 day safari - Superb Experience - Thanks to all the Goldfinch team
I booked a one-day safari with Goldfinch Adventures before our trip to Zanzibar, based on the promise of excellent service from start to finish—and they absolutely delivered.
We chose the one-day safari as some members of our group had already experienced a longer tour in the past, so this was the preferred option. That said, if I were to do it again, I would definitely consider a two- or three-day safari instead. There were seven of us in total.
Our journey began with a hotel pickup in Zanzibar, headed to the airport for a flight to Arusha. When we arrived, we were informed of a short delay with the incoming flight from Dar es Salaam—not a big issue. I contacted Kelvin at Goldfinch, and he reassured us that everything would be taken care of. Unfortunately, a little while later, we were told the flight was cancelled.
Kelvin went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t lose the experience. To avoid another early start and a long day, he arranged a later flight and even covered an overnight stay in Arusha—completely free of charge. Not only that, but he personally picked us up from the hotel and gave us a tour of Arusha, which far exceeded our expectations. We were incredibly grateful for this level of care. Truly excellent service.
The next morning, we were collected from our hotel by our safari guide, Sam, and set off for Tarangire National Park. Sam was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable not only about the animals and the park, but also about Tanzanian culture, history, and everyday life. He was a pleasure to talk to, engaging with both adults and kids the entire day without ever losing our interest.
During the safari, we saw zebras, giraffes, elephants, lions, warthogs, antelopes, vultures, and countless smaller birds I couldn’t name. We got very close to many of the animals and captured some amazing photos. One of the highlights was witnessing four female lions preparing and launching an attack on a huge herd of zebra. Although the zebras escaped, it was fascinating to watch the strategy and effort involved.
I’d recommend bringing a good DSLR and a couple of lenses if possible, like we did. That said, my daughter used her iPhone 16, and the photo quality was fantastic thanks to its excellent built-in camera.
If your budget allows, I’d highly recommend opting for the two- or three-day safari, which offers a more relaxed pace and the chance to visit the Ngorongoro Crater, where you’ll likely see even more wildlife. I’ll definitely be back to experience that.
Overall, I cannot recommend Goldfinch Adventures enough. The service and communication were top-notch from beginning to end. Kelvin was an outstanding host who couldn’t do enough for us, and Sam was an exceptional guide. Huge thanks to both of them!
