Trustworthy responsible tour operator
We booked our Safari with Golden Trips in Jan 25 for Safari in August 25 and so we were a little late in making bookings, but Irene at GT made every effort to find the accomodation we needed and helped us to organise a holiday of a lifetime. She was very responsive and was happy to discuss my requirements n detail. We are a family of 5 and so not always easy to find the right accomodation and it was important for us to have rooms nearby. Irene called and arranged for this to happen at all 8 of the places we stayed and it was only one place for one night where this wasn’t possible, which was a great outcome for us given such a late booking on our part.
We also travelled with my daughter who has a severe nut allergy and my other daughter has a restricted diet. GT called ahead to make them all aware and our great guide in Tanzania (Gaspir) spoke with the staff every evening to make it clear.
These were important things for us and GT too them seriously for which we were very grateful.
Then comes the actual safari! We did 4 days in Kenya (Lake Nokuru and Masai Mara), 5 days In Tanzania (North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire NP) and 4 days in Zanzibar. They took care of everything. The only thing we booked ourselves was a UK flight into Nairobi and return from Zanzibar.
Their coordination was impeccable. We were never alone. Someone always there with us with transport. Their communication over WhatsApp was also perfect. Responses within minutes. We had many legs to our trip with different people involved but it was absolutely seamless. Also all very kind honest people, nothing was too much trouble.
The Safari experience was amazing. Comfortable Landcruisers and safe drivers. We had Jack from Axis Safari in Kenya and Gaspir from GT in Tanzania. Importantly they were both safe and responsible guides and clearly well respected by others and they showed great respect to others too.
We saw everything we wanted on the safaris and more. So many animals! The guides were patient with the animals. Within hours of going on Safari with Gaspir we came across two leopards (rare!) with only one other car around (also rare!). We waited patiently for about an hour and got to witness them mating. Gaspir navigated the terrain perfectly to allow us to witness this amazing experience and also get great photos.
The days were packed with Safari. We set off each day before 8 (target was 7.30) and maxed out viewings returning between 5.30 and 7 most days. There was always ample drinking g water in the cars and washroom stops.
The guides gave us good information and answered any questions we had. Fully English speaking so no issues there.
The accomodation we booked was great. Nice and quiet and comfortable. Only hiccup we had was in the wild camps in the Serengeti where in one of our tents there was no running water and in the next two camps there was no hot water. Nothing GT could do about this given we were at the camps for less than 12 hours but perhaps something to check the reviews of the camps for to make sure it was just a one off. The wild camps were otherwise great as great atmosphere and you could hear animals in the night. One camp had zebra visit and another elephants and in one we heard a lion! Amazing experience.
Do remember to bring dollars of the right denomination for tipping in line with local customs. Also remember to get your visas in advance and vaccines. Eg need yellow fever vaccine if going from Kenya to Tanzania. And note that Zanzibar requires you to purchase mandatory local insurance upon arrival if not bought in advance. Would be more convenient to have bought this in advance like most had done as takes time and hassle otherwise.
Very grateful to Golden Trips for organising this wonderful Safari for us and being so caring and accommodating.
I look forward to booking another experience with them in a couple of years time as they offer so much. They are a trustworthy honest company I would be happy to recommend to family and friends.

Amazing
I had an incredible experience with the Kilimanjaro hike and safari organized by the Golden Trip. The entire trip was perfectly planned and smoothly executed. The guides were knowledgeable, supportive, and truly passionate, making the challenging hike enjoyable and safe. The safari was breathtaking — we saw amazing wildlife up close in beautiful settings. The accommodations and meals were comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure combining mountain trekking and wildlife exploration!

I had an amazing time with Golden trips. They created an ideal safari itinerary for me (esp Leticia). My guide Gesper was very knowledgeable and knew the Serengeti like the back of his hand. I was able to see so many animals. Highly recommend that you book your African safari with Golden trips!

Absolutely Outstanding Safari Experience with Golden Trips Safari!
From start to finish, our experience with Golden Trips Safari was flawless. Every step was done perfectly — starting from our very first contact and request for quotes. The itinerary they designed for us felt like a luxury safari, yet the cost was at a very fair mid-range price point.
Irene was incredibly helpful throughout the booking process. She patiently answered all our questions, customized our itinerary to fit our special requests, and did so with almost no additional cost. Her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made the whole planning process seamless.
Our driver and guide, Roger, was equally fantastic. He was patient, flexible, and always accommodating to our requests during the game drives. His knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes was impressive, and he made sure we had the best possible sightings without ever feeling rushed.
The accommodations booked for us exceeded our expectations — they were luxurious, comfortable, and offered top-notch catering. After long, exciting days on safari, it was wonderful to return to such high-quality lodges and enjoy great meals.
We chose the 4-day safari covering Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and it was an unforgettable experience. Every detail was carefully planned, and the execution was flawless.
We cannot recommend Golden Trips Safari highly enough — if you want a company that truly cares about its guests and delivers incredible value, this is the one!

good starter for Tanzania traveler
I had an excellent experience with this travel agency. Not only were their prices fair and reasonable, but they were also exceptionally friendly and supportive toward female travelers. The accommodations arranged for me were all of very high quality, and even though I was traveling alone, they still provided me with a full set of equipment.
Thanks to their arrangements, I was able to see an incredible variety of wildlife, and the daily schedules were well-paced and thoughtfully organized. During times when I was feeling low, their team gave me so much encouragement and kindness.
Overall, this is a travel agency I would wholeheartedly recommend to others—I truly felt well taken care of, and the experience exceeded my expectations.

Dan's The Main Man
From first to last thank you to Golden Trips Tanzania for an unforgettable experience.
This was an amazing experience, thank you for your information, assistance and support both before and throughout our trip Anitha in the office.
Well, what can we say about our absolutely fantastic guide, driver and ultimately friend DAN THE MAN. Dan was again all we could have asked for from collecting us from the airport, all throughout our 8 days will him until he dropped us off at the hotel the night before our flight back home.
Dan went out of his way to ensure that we saw all the animals that we wanted to see and the icing on the cake was his getting us to see the wildebeest migration actually making a river crossing on the Mara river.
He also used his own initiative and sorted out a mechanical problem with the vehicle (well with this terrain, these things can happen). Dan seems to know someone at every town, village and picnic site that we visited 😂 which is all good for information sharing during the trip and getting the most out of our time with him.
Once again many thanks to all at Golden Trips Tanzania and who knows, one day we might meet again, fingers crossed!

Safari Honeymoon
We had a wonderful time with Golden Trips Tanzania. Our guide, Edward, was truly outstanding. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and an excellent navigator through challenging terrain, but also a genuinely kind and sincere person. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see so much wildlife up close, which made the experience unforgettable. Throughout the trip, he went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were having the best possible time. We learned so much from him and felt well cared for the entire journey. Highly recommend!
