From the office to the guide amazing you have our eternal thanks.
We approached many companies to assist us with our dream vacation , all with the exception of Goldfinch were only concerned about the sale chasing us continuously after we had made the enquiry. Brenda from Goldfinch was a totally different experience, nothing was too much trouble she was always there when we had questions and all this before we made the booking. Once we had confirmed the safari she remained at our disposal answering questions providing options and assistance even with things outside of our safari package right up until our arrival and even after the safari had ended.
Our guide was Swahibu , we met on the first day at our lodge and from that meeting , again even to now, you felt confident in his knowledge ,ability and desire to make sure you had a great time and got the most from your vacation. With his skill and knowledge we saw everything you could hope to on a safari including the big 5 , Cheetas chasing prey, so many variety’s of birds and so much more. His ability with the vehicle made you feel safe and his skill to find the right spots a dream. We would like to thank Brenda and Swahibu for their help and devotion towards us achieving our dream and will always be in their debt. Thank you both and Goldfinch

Excellent logistic
We are 3 Brazilian women, not very young, and found Goldfinch Adventures through internet. We had decided to take the risk to contract them to organize our 11 days tour to Tanzania and we were amazed with their organization and high level of hotel choices. Besides our safari guide was very knowledgeble and good driver. We saw all the 5 five and other interesting animals. Special mention to the 5 days in Zanzibar. This was a dream coming true!

Very well run operation
Very well run safari. Brenda was great at keeping in contact with us. The highlight was of course our driver Shwaibu who was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. We saw all the big 5 animals and more. He knew the parks back to front and where to go to have the best chances of seeing the animals that he wanted. He was great to get along with and we loved spending our 7 day safari with him. The accommodation that was organised for us on safari was excellent.
We would absolutely recommend this company to our friends.
Some areas for improvement include:
- packed lunches - other than the cooked lunches which were great, we mostly had packed lunches on safari which were largely inedible. We like to eat healthy and found the food for the most part to very processed, lacked nutrition and unhealthy. We had to eat bigger breakfasts so we could essentially skip lunch.
- the safari car wasn’t a V8 as promised in the itinerary. It was a somewhat dated diesel.
- We were asked what drinks we wanted in the car fridge and told that wouldn’t be a problem, but only some of the drinks were provided.

Incredible service, well worth it!
We had a pleasure of going on safari with Goldfinch Adventures and it was nothing short of spectacular.
Edina was very helpful throughout the enquires and made everything very smooth for us even when we needed to make a few amendments to the trip.
Suma was our guide and was very friendly and showed us some great sightings and stopped at some really cool picnic spots, allowing us to soak up the atmosphere.
Would definitely recommend Goldfinch Adventures to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.

Perfect trip - excellent service
Our safari holiday was outstanding. Edina took care of every detail with real professionalism, making the whole trip seamless and stress‑free. Joshua was a superb tour guide — incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, great company, and always went the extra mile to make the experience special. We couldn’t be happier with the service.

Personal and proffessional excellent service
From our first contact with Kelvin at Goldfinch we had confidence in his approach . He was always quick to respond and would fully answer questions and queries and giving advice when necessary and adjusting our itineary accordingly. We found Goldfinch to be excellent value for money when we compared them to other operators.
We went for a private 2 person mid range/luxury safari and trip to Zanzibar.
The safari was 5 days. Every day was incredible, our guide Abu was fantastic he was polite, friendly proffessional and knowledgable.
We saw animals in abundance and at close range
All our accommodation either lodges or tented camps were excellent, very comfortable, clean, great facilities and food.
Did the Balloon safari which was also great and the 8 days in Zanzibar was organised very well staying in two different areas but both hotels chosen were excellent.
Kelvin met us at the start of our trip, again im the middle and at the end
He was always available via email and alwsys responded promptly adjusting anything we requested
Would definately recommend and use again
Felt we got a very proffessiomsl personal service throughout
Thank you.

Top professionals
Once in a lifetime experience and really smoothly organised by Vanessa and her team at Goldfinch Adventures. Starting with communication, our expert guide Samwel, the choice of lodges and campsites and food provided throughout the trip, all was flawless. Would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to Tanzania!
