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!

5-Star Safari Adventure with a Truly Outstanding Guide
Review of 3-Day Private Safari to Lake Manyara, Tarangire & Ngorongoro
Pending review
We travelled in early February as a family of five (my wife and I with our three kids aged 12, 9 and 1) together with my brother and his wife, and we had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Goldfinch Adventure.
From the very beginning, communication with Goldfinch Adventure was excellent. The planning process took several weeks because I wanted to make sure we chose the right national parks and accommodations that suited our family, especially travelling with young children. They were always very quick to respond to my messages and answered all my questions clearly. Even after we had almost finalized the itinerary, I made several changes — each time they quickly provided updated quotes and different accommodation options. Their communication and patience were truly 5-star and made the whole decision process easy and stress-free.
The safari itself was perfectly organised from start to finish — transport, food, accommodations and daily planning all ran smoothly. We visited in early February and the weather was beautiful, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Our guide Peter was amazing. With around 30 years of experience, it honestly felt like travelling with Morgan Freeman! His storytelling about the animals, nature and parks made every drive special. He answered all our questions — especially the many questions from the kids — with patience and enthusiasm. Even when we didn’t see animals for a while, his knowledge and stories made it feel like a live National Geographic episode.
We visited Tarangire National Park, often called the “elephant paradise,” and it truly lived up to its name. The park is huge and incredibly beautiful, with landscapes that change between forest-like areas and open savannah. We saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions and even cheetahs. One of our days in Tarangire included an open safari vehicle, which was an experience by itself and highly recommended.
What we also really appreciated was the crowd size. In Tarangire especially, there were moments when it felt like we were completely alone in the park. It gave a true off-road safari feeling and made the experience feel wild and authentic. In Ngorongoro there are naturally more jeeps due to the size and popularity of the crater, which is understandable.
We spent a full day in Ngorongoro Crater, which was absolutely breathtaking. The crater itself is an amazing sight. We were lucky to see a lot of lions — at one point they were just meters away from our vehicle, which was incredible. We also saw rhinos, although they were further away in the distance. Overall, we managed to see 4 out of the Big Five, which we really appreciated.
The accommodations were fantastic. Elephant Springs in Tarangire was beautiful — we even heard a lion roaring from our balcony at night, which was unforgettable. Our next stay at Best View Lake Manyara truly lived up to its name, with one of the most stunning views I have ever seen.
We had two half days in Tarangire and a full day in Ngorongoro, which felt like a perfect balance for our family. Everything throughout the trip was smooth, well-organised and enjoyable.
We had a truly memorable safari and would happily recommend Goldfinch Adventure to anyone looking for a well-organised, family-friendly and unforgettable safari experience.

Very helpful
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Goldfinch Adventures. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised.
A special thanks to Brenda, who handled all the arrangements smoothly. She was professional, responsive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. Her communication before and during the trip gave us complete confidence and peace of mind.
Our driver and guide, Isaac, was truly outstanding. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of animals and had unforgettable close-up moments. He was also extremely friendly, safe, and professional throughout the trip. He also made sure we stayed maximum time at the parks and never rushed to go back to the accommodation.
The entire safari was well-planned, comfortable, and worth every moment.

Professional
I had an amazing experience with Goldfinch Adventures! They were very accommodating when my partner couldn’t make the trip with me last minute. I felt safe throughout the whole trip and they made everything run smoothly. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and kind. The jeep was comfortable. They answered any questions I had. I was able to see so many incredible animals and places during my 4 night, 5 day safari. The accommodations were pleasant and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this tour group for any adventures and will be using them for my next safari in the future. Thank you Goldfinch Adventures for the once in a lifetime trip!
