An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Goldfinch Adventures!
From the moment we booked our safari holiday with Goldfinch Adventures, we knew we were in excellent hands. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about wildlife. We saw the Big Five within the first two days—lions lounging under acacia trees, elephants on a peaceful march, and even a rare glimpse of a leopard. The game drives were timed perfectly, and the vehicle was comfortable and well-equipped for photography and wildlife viewing.
The accommodations arranged by Goldfinch were beyond our expectations. Each lodge blended luxury with the natural beauty of the landscape, offering breathtaking views, delicious meals, and the warmest hospitality we’ve ever encountered.
What stood out most was the personalized touch throughout our journey every moment felt curated just for us. We returned home with memories that will last a lifetime and a deep appreciation for the incredible work Goldfinch Adventures puts into creating truly magical safari holidays. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a meaningful, thrilling, and beautifully organized African adventure!

Professional, knowledgable, good fun & safe!
Wow! What an amazing experience!
So glad we chose this safari company, they were brilliant from start to finish!
Brenda was so helpful organising a 2day safari and Isaac was great guide and safe driver!
First day was Tarangire NP up close with elephants, giraffes & zebras which was amazing, we then stayed overnight in a beautiful Lodge!
Unfortunately our flight was delayed so we were behind all day and late getting to Lodge to make most of it and up early next morning to go to Ngorongoro crater, which is full of animals to spot, not so close as Tarangire but used binoculars and saw lion & rhino in the distance!
It was cold that day and could have done with a sweatshirt, which we didn’t have!
We flew from Zanzibar and other people staying in our resort went for day safari using another company & were really disappointed!
Highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures, they are professional and you feel safe, which if like me safari is a bit out of your comfort zone is very important!
We have wonderful memories and maybe wish we had done a 3 day safari instead of 2! :)

Exceptional tour operator
Just returned from a magnificent 3 day Serengeti safari with Goldfinch Adventures .The communication from Brenda was from the beginning was 10/10, I thought, attentive and quick to answer any questions, she happily helped us with everything we needed, Our excellent guide Walanga was there to meet us on arrival at Arusha Airport. The safari started that morning and was a true marvel. Our guide Walanga had over 17 years of experience in his work and it was amazing how with his eyes he could see many animals in the distance. We were able to see all the big five over the 3 days. The accommodation on both nights was exceptional with great food, I would definitely recommend staying in a luxury tented accommodation in Serengeti as loved listening to the animals at night. It was great and felt so safe with the Masai keeping an eye on things.
It's definitely worth the price you pay. There are many companies that offer even less and are more expensive. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Goldfinch Adventures and I will recommend it to anyone who asks, as everything went fantastically beyond our expectations
Thorough and thoughtful, comprehensive and complete.
Goldfintch arranged for us to be picked up at our hotel in Nairobi. We wanted to cross the border by land. Gifty our driver was timely and exceptional. There was no question he could not answer. His knowledge of the Maasai people was remarkable.
Our first accommodations were just alright but the people were fabulous and we fully enjoyed the restaurant and its ambience. Brenda our agent and our safari driver Sammie met us there and went over the full itinerary. Nice touch! Dinner was a part of our package. The next morning when we showed up for breakfast, our driver was waiting. This guy took things to another level. His knowledge extended from knowing about the Maasai almost as if he was one, to extensive knowledge about birds, every animal we encountered, and every town we went through.
After the Tarangire Safari, we stayed at the Suricata Boma Lodge, which quite made up for any short comings of the first. It was first class in every way imaginable. To add to that, GoldFintch arranged a very special private dinner on Lake Manyara, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. And special it was.
The next day we went to Ngorongoro Crater and again our driver was spectacular in his knowledge of the crater and everything in it. And lets not forget the culture of the communities along the way. I highly recommend GoldFintch and will use them again on my next visit.

An experience that I'll never forget.
I've been in a 3 days couple trip with Goldfinch and I'll never forget it. Kelvin was following my issues and my request since I've booked 6 month before and he has always been staying by my side if I Need anything. I've chosen a luxury Plan and It was truly Amazing. The service, the hotels, the food and even the Little attentions they gave us was perfect. The baloon experience costs a Little too much, but we tought maybe we won't do another safari in Life so we booked It. I don't regret It because It was Amazing seeing sunset in the savana, Flying around watching Animals, having a Little celebration After the landing and even the breakfast in the savana. 5 stars to the entire experience. Thank you again Kelvin, thanks to our "Eagle Eye" driver and incredibile spotter Frenk, and Goldfinch Adventures. Hope our Path Will cross again.

Determined to deliver the best experience for his clients!
Kelvin with Goldfinch Adventures went well above and beyond to make sure that our Safari experience was nothing short of amazing! His initial response to a fairly short time framed request was quick yet very thorough. We changed our requested dates and he had a new itinerary over to us within a few hours. From the time we were picked up at our door, flights, accommodations, and attention to detail were top notch! Kelvin and Brenda handed us over to our guide Issac and from the very beginning we could tell we were in great hands. Issac was knowledgeable and fully engaged with us the entire time, and made sure we not only enjoyed the Safari but the culture and nuances of a country far from our home in the United States. Our accommodations were amazing and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and morning breakfast with Issac, whom never tired of my never ending questions about life in Tanzania. The Safari itself was incredible, and Issac knew so much about the history of the land, the animals and the people of the region. Truly a once in a lifetime experience with so many great memories and photos we took back with us. To Kelvin, Brenda, and Issac both Dylan and I are grateful that you cared enough to make sure this father son trip was so special! Thank you!! We HIGHLY recommend Goldfinch-Adventures!!

Wonderful well planned Safari Experience
Deo was great to deal with when arranging our Safari, he was extremely efficient and communication was excellent. He answered our messages immediately and nothing was too much trouble. The Safari was well planned and accommodation was first class. Our guide Lazafo was wonderful, very friendly and informative not to mention an amazing driver too! We saw the Big 5, 4 of which on the first day! We had a couple of flight changes which is common but Deo dealt with everything perfectly. A truly memorable Safari which we will never forget. Thank you to everyone at Goldfinch for making this possible, we will never forget it!
Helpful
Deo was very helpful in helping us book our stay in Zanzibar. Even when we got there he helped us with transportation options and coordination. Trust that he will help your trip go smoothly!

Experience of a Lifetime
Incredible experience. The abundance and variety of wildlife is amazing. Our guide Swahib was quick to spot the animals and was very knowledgeable about them and the flora as well. We were lucky to have such an experienced guide... very professional and accommodating. The planning for the safari was all taken care of by Kelvin at Goldfinch... includiing hotel transfers, flights and accommodations. Everything went smoothly.
The lodges were exceptional and the staff very friendly, going out of their way to please
The sounds of lions grunting at night while we were staying at a the Kon Tiki tented lodge on the serengeti will forever stay in my mind. A big thanks to Swahib, Kelvin, and everyone at Goldfinch for making this safari an experience that we will never forget.
