Highly recommended! Safari arrangements were perfect. Magical moments spotting animals
We were very pleased with how Goldfinch Adventures organised our safari and can recommend this operator 200%. Right from the very first point of contact, Joseph was always on hand to answer all our questions and handled the booking of flights and hotels in a very professional manner. The payment process was also quick and easy. Everything went very smoothly! During the safari, we were accompanied by our French-speaking guide, Rama, and our driver, Swahibu. Both were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Swahibu knows the national parks extremely well and knows exactly where to find the animals we were interested in. He also has an incredible eye for spotting them. We had a brilliant time in their company! The lodges were splendid – perhaps even too luxurious for a stay of just one night – and that’s perhaps a bit of a shame, as we didn’t have time to make the most of them. That said, this was down to the pace of the safari and not to any lack of organisation. The only area for improvement – though this isn’t the operator’s fault – is the quality of the lunch boxes and what they contained. This should probably be discussed directly between the operator and the lodges. In any case, this three-day safari experience was exceptional, and you’ll be very lucky indeed to come across Rama and Swahibu.

The trip of a lifetime, thanks to Goldfinch!
I can't recommend this agency highly enough. I am so glad we chose Goldfinch to organise our tour. We spent six days and five nights on our safari, including Northern and Central Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. From the start, Joseph was so helpful and accommodating, looking at different options for our accommodation and making excellent suggestions about the trip. All of his recommendations were spot on - he was a brilliant and very patient tour organiser!
What really stood out for us was the expertise and experience of our guide Eriki. He knew the areas and the wildlife so well, we had some absolutely jaw dropping encounters with the 'big five' but also some wonderful quieter moments, sitting with zebra and giraffe, spotting the little dikdiks, learning about the people and cultures of Tanzania. He was outstanding - so much so that our teenage daughters barely touched their phones for a week!
We chose Goldfinch because they seemed like a smaller operator, and the price was very competitive. I would 100% recommend them - it felt like we arrived as clients and left as friends.
Huge thanks to Joseph, Eriki and the team for making such special memories.
Trip of a lifetime!
From start to finish everything was perfectly planned and executed. Issa helped us plan the most memorable trip of a lifetime within just a few emails and conversations via Whatsapp! He was always on call and answered all our questions with a smile! Isaac our Guide and Driver for the week was an absolute superstar from day 1! He is so well educated on all animals, plants, birds etc! He made sure we saw every possible animal on our checklist and so much more! We felt safe, taken care of, well fed and always had ice cold water & beers during the Safari Drives. There was absolutely nothing for us to do but just ENJOY the moment we departed from our home country!
The service at every accommodation was impeccable, the stays was so well planned and chosen according to our needs and wants!
I truly cannot recommend Goldfinch Adventures enough! Thank you to the team for making this possible and we will cherish these memories forever!
I cannot wait to be back!

Responsive , knowledgeable and helpful
We had really great experience from the get go. All minute details of the trip were managed well. The choice of hotels and lodges was great. We never had to plan anything it was all provided by goldfinch.
Brenda was available all the time.

Amazing Safari with the family
The Safari experience has exceeded the expectations, mainly thanks to the excellent guide named Swahibu. He has been great in spotting animals - all the BigFive! - driving safety a lot of miles, telling stories about Tanzania and local culture and teaching us some swahili words and songs.
The only note, if I had to do it again, I would select more carefully the accomodations to avoid losing time and miles in the car.
