Golden Trips Tanzania delivers expert-guided, personalized adventures with passion and flexibility.
My family just returned from a truly unforgettable two-week journey with Golden Trips Tanzania, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their team was professional, flexible, and genuinely invested in creating a meaningful and curated experience for our family (a group of 4–6 at different points in the trip).
Joel, the manager, was a phenomenal coordinator. He was responsive, organized, and VERY patient as we worked through options to maximize our time in the country. He helped us craft an itinerary that fit everything we wanted into our two-week window, without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. There are countless activity options in Tanzania and GTT knows what their clients will most appreciate, acting as educated advisors and guides from day one. It was clear from the beginning that Golden Trips values both quality and customization of their clients' experience.
Olaa, our driver in Arusha, was always punctual and got us where we needed to be safely and smoothly. Despite constant additional requests, travel hiccups, or other unforeseen changes to the itinerary, he was there with a smile on his face to help.
In our first week we explored the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. Eric, our safari guide, was deeply knowledgeable, personable, and always seemed to know just where to go to catch wildlife activity. His expertise and patience led us to witnessing some rare wildlife events including a major wildebeest crossing of the Mara River, a lioness stalking a herd of zebras, and a large pride of lions with cubs feeding. He also shared insights into local culture and ecosystems. When challenges arose, Eric handled them with calmness and ease. For example, on the very bumpy roads the suspension snapped a bolt on our Land Cruiser (not surprising, just wait until you experience the ride!), but Eric had support contacted, the suspension fixed, and us on our way within 2 hours, a truly incredible feat given the remoteness of the Serengeti. Unforeseen challenges will arise on your trip, but the GTT operators were constantly adept at addressing them quickly and keeping things moving forward smoothly. Over the week, Eric truly became a friend and truly made the experience one-of-a-kind for our family.
Our second week was a 7-day hike up Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route, and it exceeded all expectations. We were guided by Dickson and Noah, both of whom were incredibly calm, experienced, and highly attentive to our group’s needs throughout. They struck the perfect balance between keeping us safe and making the experience enjoyable, informative, and encouraging. The entire support crew, including our chef (Chiks who could outcook you with one hand tied behind his back at 15,000ft), waiter, and team of porters did a consistently impressive job supporting our team up and down the mountain. They put safety first, but did everything they could to ensure we were successful in summitting the mountain, which we completed with their support. I wouldn't have wanted to summit with any other team.
Of all the tour groups we evaluated Golden Trips Tanzania stands out for its customization and flexibility, knowledgeable and personable guides, and local expertise. I would give a strong recommendation to anyone looking to explore this beautiful country to consider Golden Trips Tanzania.

He made our safari memorable
Edward was the best guide, he could spot an animal a mile away and we could only pick it when we were up close. He knew every animal we encountered and knew their traits. He helped us see the big 5. Which not everyone gets to see. I recommend Edward if you’re going on safari.

I went on an incredible 8‑day safari, and the experience surpassed all expectations. Our guide Edward was exceptional, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer every question. He made the journey fun and informative.
Over the course of the trip, we saw everything on our wish list and every moment was amazing.
Edward’s expertise brought the entire experience to life sharing insights into animal behaviour. Edward was great company for the duration of our journey. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Edward is a fantastic guide
We had an excellent 8 day Safari with Edward as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the animals and he made the experience one to remember. He worked his magic and took us to every animal we requested to see, we saw the big 5, as well as a river crossing! There were some issues with the car at points of the journey, however Edward handled it very well and made it seem like no problem at all. Would highly recommend Edward as a guide in Tanzania.

Very well organised.
What an amazing experience which was made even more amazing because we had Edward as our guide and he was excellent. His knowledge of all the parks and animals was excellent. The only negative was that the car we had had a lot of problems. Our chef was also excellent.

Memorable safari holidays in Tanzania with Golden Trips
We recently took 9-day private safari trip and had a truly memorable experience. Right from the abundant wildlife (including all of the Big Five) , thoughtful logistics and expert guiding, the trip exceeded expectations in all the right ways.
Our guide, Dan, was very good. With his instincts and deep knowledge of animal behavior, he consistently made correct call when to linger at a sighting and when to move on — often leading to even better encounters just ahead. Thanks to Dan’s skill and intuition we had some unforgettable moments which will stay with us for a lifetime.
We also want to express our sincere thanks to Irene, who handled my bookings and logistics. She is very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, making sure everything came together smoothly. We really appreciate her empathetic attitude and prompt response which made our trip very smooth.
It was truly memorable holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this team to anyone looking for an excellent safari experience.

They are really great and helfpful. Bariki our guide was super, he knew so much and was very polite.
We did a 5-day-safari to Tarangire national park ,Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We saw all the Big 5 and so many other animals. The nature was awesome with such a beautiful landscape. Every nationalpark is diffrent and worth to see. We had a private tour and it was absolutly worth it. The lodges we were, were really good. In the Serengeti we stayed in tented lodges, which were similiar to real rooms in the middle of the nationalpark and stood up with zebras nearly close to our tent. It was a once in a lifetime experience.

I felt they were unprofessional.
I felt the communication was poor, and our guide was unprofessional. Our driver was at the wrong airport to pick us up, even though I had sent a screen shot clearly showing the airport we were flying into. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area's ecology, but I felt his behavior was overly attention-seeking and unprofessional. Would 100% not recommend this company. We had a vehicle breakdown at one point and joined another company's vehicle. I felt the difference in the behavior and attitude of their guide compared to ours was shocking. Both my daughter and I felt on edge and uncomfortable with our guide for the whole trip.
