Good prompt communication — everything went as planned.
Excellent Experience, reliable Tour operator, good prompt communication, everything ran smoothly.
Great guides on the trip, Hamad and Swahibu, flowed with our pace, very informative while not too talkative.

The best safari tour operator in Tanzania
We booked our dream honeymoon 5 day safari with Goldfinch and we couldn’t have asked for anything better!
From the get go, Brenda was responsive and organised, nothing was too much trouble and she made sure to accommodate everything that we were looking for. We had other quotes back from several other companies, but Brenda’s professionalism and responsiveness was far better than any other company we had spoken to.
We were collected from Arusha airport on the first day by Brenda and our guide for the next 5 days, Emmanuel. Emmanuel is a fantastic guide, again, nothing was too much trouble and he really went out of his way to make sure we were happy and that our safari trip was truly special. He was so knowledgeable about all of the animals and we were even lucky enough to be able to see the ‘big 5’. Emmanuel also allowed us the time to visit a Maasai village within the Ngorongoro Crater which we’d urge everyone to do if given the opportunity. It was brilliant and the people were so welcoming. It was great to get to know Emmanuel over the 5 days and we were sad to say goodbye at the end of our trip. On the last day we swapped guides and took a 2.5hr car journey from Arusha to Mt Kilimanjaro to walk the foothills to see Materuni Waterfalls, visit a coffee farm and the Chemka Hot Springs. We didn’t really know what to expect for this part of our trip, but it ended up being an amazing experience and the coffee farm and coffee tasting was another highlight for us! On the way back to the airport we met Brenda again, who gifted me a beach bag and sun hat for our onward journey to Zanzibar - such a lovely gesture!
We would recommend Goldfinch to anyone looking to book a safari trip, we had an unforgettable experience and have made memories that we will cherish forever.

An amazing 5 day safari with the best guide
Our safari with Samuel and Goldfinch Adventures was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, he impressed us with his professionalism, deep knowledge of the animals and environment, and his warm personality. Samuel always knew where to go and had an incredible eye for spotting the animals, which gave us unforgettable encounters and views.
What we appreciated the most was how much effort he put into making sure that all our wishes were fulfilled. Whether it was finding a particular animal, explaining something in detail, or simply creating the perfect atmosphere, he always went the extra mile for us. His patience, kindness, and genuine passion for nature made the entire journey even more special.
Thanks to Samuel, this safari far exceeded our expectations and became an adventure we will never forget. We highly recommend him and Goldfinch to anyone who wants the best possible safari experience.

Well organized and helpful
I had an amazing safari experience in Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater with Goldfinch Adventures. They answered all my questions and made sure I felt well informed
Everything was very well organized, and our guide was excellent – knowledgeable, and friendly.
Ngorongoro was simply spectacular, with so many animals in one place.
This safari was unforgettable and I highly recommend
One night felt a bit short – I would recommend staying two nights to really enjoy the experience and not feel rushed

A once in a lifetime experience - not to be missed!
We have had the most magical safari experience, that way exceeded our expectations! We booked through Goldfinch Adventures, after a recommendation from a friends friend. A little sceptical at first as it’s a relatively new company. However, they went above and beyond to make our first safari memorable. Brenda organised our whole trip after discussing our needs and interests. She provided a perfect itinerary. We started our safari in Arusha where we were met by our lovely guide, Seleman. He was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. He drove us to The Serengeti and ensured we got to see every animal on our wish list including giraffes, zebras, elephants, lions and cheetahs. After a full day animal spotting we went to our lodge for the next two nights. We opted for the luxury Moyo tented lodge. The staff were friendly, entertaining and the lodges were beautiful. The meals were all delicious and plentiful. After two days at The Serengeti we headed to Ngorongoro crater to see the black Rhino, lions, elephants and hippos. We were very fortunate to have Seleman as a driver as he was brilliant at spotting the animals. In the evening we were taken to our second tented lodge, Angata camp. This lodge was simply incredible, with the nicest staff, fabulous lodges with some of the best food we have ever eaten. It was like fine dining in a tent with a 4 course evening meal! Both lodges were amazing but this last one was something else and highly recommended! After another full day drive in the crater we headed back to the airport where we met Brenda again. She came with gifts for us all, which was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated.
Overall, this was a once in a lifetime experience that could not have gone any better. Goldfinch Adventures go above and beyond your expectations. They ensure you leave happy, wanting to return and do not disappoint. Look forward to another trip with them in the future.

We're very happy everything went well. Eli, our driver, was excellent, helpful, and kind to every re
Good lunch, attentive customer service and attention to needs. Accommodations were reasonable for the price paid. The couple spent about €1,000 a day for 5 days and 4 nights, but I'd do it all again.

Our ranger Sele, a discrete, intelligent and onest man, who knows perfectly every corner of the parks Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti and every habit of the Big Five.
We wished we could to see the Leopard and he did everything to please us!
Thank you Vanessa and Sele!

AN AMAIZING GIRL'S TRIP
This was my very first safari experience as a Tanzanian, and I chose to visit the Ngorongoro Crater with Goldfinch Adventures. I can truly say it was an absolutely incredible journey! Growing up here, you hear about how special Ngorongoro is, but nothing compares to standing on the rim and then descending into the crater,it felt surreal, like stepping into another world where every corner was alive with wildlife.
We made it a girls’ trip, and that was the highlight for me. Experiencing the crater with my closest friends, sharing laughs, gasps of excitement every time we spotted animals, and creating memories together made the trip unforgettable. We promised ourselves this will not be the last time,next time, it’s definitely going to be Serengeti together!
Our guide, Frank, made the experience even more special. He was simply the best so knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly sharp at spotting animals from afar. It honestly felt like he had a secret connection with the wildlife, because he always knew exactly where to take us for the perfect sightings. He didn’t just drive us around,he told us stories, taught us about the animals and their behaviors, and filled the day with fun and laughter.
Vanessa and Goldfinch Adventures handled everything so beautifully from planning to all the little details that made the trip smooth and stress free. I never once had to worry about logistics, and that gave us the freedom to just enjoy the adventure fully.
It was worth every single penny. To my fellow Tanzanians and to foreigners as well I highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures. You will not regret it. For me, Ngorongoro was a dream come true, and now I can’t wait for the girls’ trip to Serengeti,because this is just the beginning!
