Friendly, easy communication and provided us with most experienced amazing guides.
Brenda at Goldfinch is very easy to work with. She made sure we had the best experience ! She customized our tour for a group of nine adults who were all arriving and leaving Tanzania on different dates. Our guides, Lazaro and Sammy were friendly, knowledgeable and experienced- they made us feel very comfortable and safe. Lazaro has almost 30 years of experience being a safari guide and knew all the secret places we could view rare sights. We had a marvelous experience of seeing tens of thousands wildebeest cross the river Mara for almost 22 minutes and even saw the rarest of sights in the wild- cheetah mom with 4 new born cubs! Goldfinch is a great company and I have already recommended it to all my friends- great value for money. All accommodations were super clean, well-organized and with great food, staff, facilities.

Epic Adventure with Goldfinch!
Like all the reviewers before me, I have been very impressed with Goldfinch. I travelled solo in August having booked in February with a deposit. I had the pleasure of Kelvin who helped me plan the best possible itinerary. This included Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Central & Northern Serengeti and foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro. I flew back from Kogatende airstrip to make the most of the 6 days that I had. I had a wonderful guide called Nuru who enabled me to see so much wildlife up close and personal including Lions and Cheetah! I got to see the great migration of Wilderbeast and Zebra make the dangerous crossing across the Mara river. I felt very lucky to have a very knowledgeable and easy going guide whose 20/20 vision was impressive!
The accommodation organised for the trip was wonderful especially the Serengeti Classic View Camp and waking up to see a herd of elephants pass 200 metres from the front of my tent! The local people I met were fantastic and I loved the culture and relaxed way of life. I had the pleasure of Joel as my guide on the last day who was very helpful and kind. Special thanks to Kelvin who organised my trip and was very efficient and fast at responding to emails. I got to meet him on my first and last day which I was very impressed with. The team at Goldfinch offers a seamless and exceptionally high level of customer service at competitive pricing. Thank You, Bernadette

Goldfinch Adventures combines genuine customer care and constant responsiveness
We recently completed a 5-day, 4-night safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater with Goldfinch Adventures, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
From the planning stage, Issa was very responsive, attentive, and helpful in designing an itinerary that matched our expectations. Throughout the trip, he remained easily reachable and quick to respond whenever we had questions or needed assistance, which gave us a great sense of comfort and security.
The safari itself was very well organized. Transportation, accommodations, meals, and overall logistics were handled smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience.
One of the highlights of the trip was the incredible diversity we experienced, both in terms of wildlife and landscapes. We were fortunate to observe a wide variety of animals in different situations throughout the journey, while also discovering the distinct beauty of each park, from Tarangire's iconic baobabs to the endless plains of the Serengeti, and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide, Ole, accompanied us during the trip with professionalism, good knowledge of the parks and wildlife, and a friendly attitude that contributed positively to the overall experience.
What we appreciated most was the feeling of being supported throughout the entire trip, thanks to the constant availability and responsiveness of the Goldfinch Adventures team.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable and well-managed safari experience, and we are grateful to Issa, Ole, and the entire team for helping us discover the beauty of Tanzania.

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.

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.
Sabri was a great guide
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!

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.

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.

Exceptional service for an epic safari holiday
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari with Goldfinch, and a huge part of that was thanks to Issa. From the moment we started planning our trip until after we reached Zanzibar, Issa was incredibly responsive, professional, and always one step ahead. Even when we had almost no internet signal in the Serengeti, he kept checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly. It was so reassuring to know someone was always looking out for us.
Our driver, Hosea, was also wonderful. He was knowledgeable, caring, and handled an unexpected flat tire on the way from Ngorongoro to the Serengeti calmly and professionally, making our safety his top priority.
The wildlife sightings were beyond anything we could have imagined, and the entire itinerary ran smoothly. Both my daughter and I had an epic holiday that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.
Thank you, Issa, for your exceptional service, constant communication, and genuine care. This trip completely changed how we see Africa, and we sincerely hope to return one day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Goldfinch, and especially Issa, to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Five stars!
