Total professionals with deep knowledge on safaris! Much recommended
5 star tour operators! Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish!
We initiated the planning months before the trip with Leticia who was very communicative, with deep knowledge on safaris and responded each time very quickly.
We made a package for a six day safari plus 3 nights in Zanzibar, with all transportation included - the value for money of this agency was the best!
The safari was a lifetime experience, our guide was Sam (who we adore), he is a very experienced guide, he knows the parks like the palm of his hand and made everything easy for us during the safari - plus we was very eager to find the best spots for us to see all animals and a hive the Big Five goal!
Really really good 🙌🏼

Epic Serengeti Safari with the Incredible Gyasper!
Our Serengeti safari with Gyasper was nothing short of epic! On the very first day, thanks to his razor-sharp eyes, we saw 12 lionesses, a leopard with her playful cub, and even the heart-pounding moment of a lioness pride attacking a water buffalo 🦁🐆🐃. He just has this incredible sixth sense for wildlife—before we even realized, he was pointing out animals hiding in the bush.
Being a proud Masai, Gyasper filled the journey with fascinating stories about Tanzania, its culture, and the secrets of the wild. He’s not just knowledgeable—he’s also super punctual, flexible, and fun to be around, making every game drive both exciting and relaxed at the same time.
If you want a guide who can turn your safari into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, Gyasper is the one. Truly unforgettable!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Golden Trips Tanzania
After comparing several quotes for a safari experience, we chose Golden Trips Tanzania - and we’re so glad we did. From the outset, Leticia was incredibly patient and efficient, helping us craft the perfect itinerary. Not only did she tailor the trip to our preferences, but she also proposed higher-quality accommodation than some competitors, all at a competitive price.
Our 7-day journey began at Kilimanjaro Airport and took us through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, Eastern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and finally to the Northern Serengeti, before flying out from Kogatende Airstrip to Zanzibar.
Leticia handled every detail seamlessly, from airport pickup and safari accommodation to dietary requirements, park entry bookings, a hot air balloon experience in the Northern Serengeti, and our departure flight. Her organisation made the entire trip stress-free.
The accommodation she arranged was excellent: Heart and Soul Lodge in Lake Manyara, Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, Kumbukumbu Luxury Tented Camp in the Serengeti, and Ang’ata Migration Camp. All were first-class, though the migration camp was perhaps a bit remote from the Mara River crossings. You can find our detailed reviews of each on TripAdvisor.
The highlight, of course, was the safari itself. Each day we enjoyed full-day game drives in a comfortable, spacious private Land Cruiser with large windows and an open roof, perfect for wildlife viewing. The vehicle was stocked with water, soft drinks, and snacks, which was a thoughtful touch. Each park offered something unique in terms of landscape and wildlife, and we were never disappointed: elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest, hyenas, baboons, warthogs, hippo, mongoose, ostriches, storks, cranes, flamingos, eagles, vultures, crocodiles and countless gazelle and antelope species were all spotted regularly.
A special mention must go to our guide and driver, Edward. Engaging, friendly, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable, Edward had an uncanny ability to spot elusive animals and position us perfectly for unforgettable sightings, including the secretary bird, lions, cheetahs, jackals, servals and leopards, and even, in the distance, two elusive black rhinos. Thanks to Edward, we witnessed three major migration crossings over two days, a rare and spectacular experience. Each evening, Edward joined us for dinner, sharing insights from the day and discussing plans for the next. His passion and expertise truly elevated our safari—he was an integral part of what made our trip so memorable.

Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience with Golden Trips! The itinerary and accommodation choices were great, and Joel was always attentive to our suggestions and requirements.
A big shout-out to Hardson — not only a fantastic driver but also such a wonderful travel companion.
We had a couple of mechanical issues along the way, but they never spoiled the overall feeling of the trip. Thank you for helping make our honeymoon so special

Best experience ever!
As animal lovers we had very high expectations for this trip. I could not thank more Golden Trips, Leticia and especially our guide Edu. The program was very organised, the lodges were awesome, we ate delicious food and most importantly thanks to the eyes and patience of our guide we saw the big 5 and a lot more. It really was the best experience of my life. And all the team was extremely nice and was worried if we were enjoying ourselves. I couldn’t have chosen a better safari company!

Value for money
We had an unforgettable 7-day Big 5 Classic Safari with Golden Trips Tanzania, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we landed in Arusha to the final day at Lake Manyara, everything was well-organised and smoothly coordinated.
Our guide, Hardson, was simply fantastic – striking the perfect balance between sharing his deep knowledge and giving us space to enjoy the experience. Being a small group (just three of us) meant we had personalised attention and flexibility, which made the entire trip feel very special. Hardson made sure we saw all the animals up close – including all of the Big 5 – and his expertise truly made the safari unforgettable.
The accommodations were good value for money, with Karatu Village Lodge and Osinon Tented Camp standing out as our favourites for their comfort, service, and atmosphere. The only slight downside was the rooftop restaurant at Summit Safari Lodge, which was quite drafty and the dinner menu underwhelming (though breakfast was excellent). We shared this feedback with the operator.
With so many safari operators to choose from, we are very glad we picked Golden Trips Tanzania. The itinerary, attention to detail, and overall experience we received for the price was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, well-organised safari with a great guide and good mid-range lodges.

Unbelievable experience from amazing experts
Thank you Golden trips Tanzania for making safari experience amazing. Bonifacio put together plan with all things we wanted to see. Rachel took care of us upon arrival and communicated all little things nice and clear. Our guide Hudson was great driver, found best spots to view animals and answered all our questions. And Ivan transported us from and to airport safely, on time and with good sense of humor
An Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure!
Golden Trips organised an incredible 7-day Kilimanjaro trek (Lemosho route) and a 3-day safari for us. The entire experience was fantastic and well-executed. Overall, good value for money.
Planning: The planning process was smooth. Leticia was very responsive and patiently answered all our questions while creating the itinerary.
Kilimanjaro Trek: The 7-day trek was an unforgettable experience. Our guides, Bob and Noah, were exceptional—supportive, informative, and dedicated to getting us to the summit. We were consistently impressed by the quality and quantity of the food provided (thanks, Cheeks).
As moderately fit trekkers, we found the route manageable, but Summit Night is a true test of perseverance. Our guides' motivation was essential in helping us reach Uhuru Peak. A huge shoutout to the team of porters - Denis, Alex, Dito, Joshua, Sam, Erinest, Mashal, Bayo and Ruga - the successful climb would not have been possible without all your hard work.
Safari: Our 3-day safari covered Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide, Deo, was fantastic. His knowledge and ability to spot wildlife were top-notch, and we saw 4 of the Big 5.
For first-time safari-goers, we'd recommend focusing on 1-2 parks in 3 days, as visiting all three felt rushed. You ultimately trade time in the parks for time on the road. The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater were our highlights.
Overall, we highly recommend Golden Trips for a memorable Tanzanian adventure.

Unforgettable experience
We had an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, thanks to our incredible guide. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and well taken care of. Guiding a group of six is not always easy, but he managed it with patience, professionalism, and a wonderful sense of humor.
His knowledge of wildlife, nature, and local culture was outstanding. He spotted animals we would have never seen on our own and explained their behaviors in fascinating detail. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and he always knew the best routes and timing to give us the most memorable sightings.
Beyond his expertise, what impressed us most was his kindness and attentiveness. He always checked to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying ourselves. His warm personality made the trip feel personal and special, more like traveling with a good friend than just a guide.
Thanks to him, our safari was far beyond what we imagined. We will carry these memories for a lifetime, and we cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone planning a safari in East Africa.
