Simply Perfect In Every Way
I recommend Goldfinch (GF) without hesitation. I contacted five safari companies with identical enquiries, yet only two replied - and Brenda at GF responded immediately, which was a very lucky thing for us. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and crafted the perfect itinerary.
When I later asked if my 93-year-old father could join, she liaised with the camps straight away, and every adjustment was handled flawlessly. The camps themselves were stunning, and the staff were amazing - they even adored singing and dancing with my dad, which meant the world to us.
Our guide, Ludo, was exceptional, and we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five and so much more.
Thank you, GF, for an unforgettable adventure and memories that will last a lifetime.

We loved Swahibu’s enthusiasm and determination to explore as much as possible with the time we had.
From start to finish, Kelvin was incredibly attentive in accommodating all of our changes, and every part of the trip felt hassle-free, with plenty of food, drinks, bathroom and photo stops, opportunities to grab gifts, a different comfy lodge every night, and even a night drive arranged with another operator so we never felt we were missing out.
Our guide, Swahibu, was fantastic—his enthusiasm and determination to explore as much as possible with the time we had, his deep knowledge and clear love for the Serengeti, plus great binoculars and a real eye for positioning the vehicle, meant that even with a lot of driving every day felt packed, purposeful, and helped us discover our own love for the park. He confidently planned each next move and coordinated with other guides to find the best sightings. Goldfinch handled all logistics excellently—every flight, transfer, pickup, baggage hold, and drop-off was smooth, responses were fast whenever we needed anything, the itinerary was very customizable, and the trip was extremely well priced (we compared multiple quotes and Goldfinch was by far the most affordable for the same inclusions, plus the perk of unlimited liquor), making this an amazing option for a couple like us but equally great for families or any group.
Our only real regrets were being unable to do the Nogrongro descent as said in the itinerary and permit issues on last-day game drive which caused us to miss the few fleeting migration sightings and dramatic moments (like a lion kill) other guests caught pictures of that morning even though it was a difficult late-November window. I guess that just means we will have to come back! It was clear that the team, especially Swahibu and Kelvin, truly did their best to make it all happen. Overall, it was a wonderfully organized, stress-free, and memorable safari experience that we would happily recommend to anyone.
