It was truly a five-star experience!
Our safari experience was made unforgettable by Johnson's affable demeanor and wealth of knowledge. He made a special effort to make sure we viewed all the important species and also gave fascinating cultural facts. We were pleasantly surprised by the trip—it was truly a five-star experience!

We lived our dream
Brett Thomson and Sunsafaris went beyond our expectations in planning our recent trip. Everything was flawless and so well planned to give us the maximum experience we could imagine. Thie selected lodges were awesome with great staff and guides. They were all top-quality and a pleasure to experience. Selected locations in Nairobi, including the Karen Blixen coffee, gardens, Amboseli and the Massai Mara ( Alex Walker’s Serian Original) were all top notch. We could not be more pleased with the organizing done by Brett Thomson and Sun Safaris

Impeccable journey through wildlife.
A group of families explored Kenya and Tanzania with seamless care from Alex, witnessing the Big Five, flamingos, cheetahs, and the Great Wildebeest Migration. Cultural encounters with the Maasai, beautiful lodges, and patient guides made this trip an unforgettable blend of adventure, comfort, and heartwarming hospitality.

Great safari for two Chileans!
We had a fantastic experience visiting Maasai Mara with Earthwings Tour, and Martin was the perfect guide for us. From the start, he made us feel welcome and well taken care of. He’s kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does.
Martin was fully committed to helping us spot the Big Five — and he accomplished the mission! Thanks to his experience and sharp eye, we were able to see all of them, along with so many other amazing animals.
The park itself is breathtaking — way beyond what we expected — and Martin made sure we got the most out of every moment. This trip was truly special for my wife and me, and we’re so grateful to Martin for making it unforgettable. We highly recommend him and Earthwings Tour to anyone visiting Kenya!

The feeling of being in the middle of nowhere away from everything in a magical setting
A real success for this 5-day safari in the Tarengire, the Serengeti and the Ngorogoro. We let ourseft our ways by a top organization that made this trip magnificent. Festo our guide shared with us his knowledge of Tanzanian culture and wildlife. He is a very respectful person of the customer, incredibly kind and very punctual. We were able to see all the animals in beautiful settings thanks to their daily involvement to please us and meet our expectations. The lodges were very good and the 2 nights in the Magical serengeti.

Just everything perfect and super helpful people.
We went on a 3-day safari organized by Ruth. She was super helpful in everything, always on call for any questions. She helped us a lot. Simon, our guide, was great and showed us every animal. He explained and taught us many new things. It was truly a breathtaking experience and I recommend Serengeti National Park to everyone. Thanks again to the whole team!

Engaging and Fun Tanzania Safari
We had an outstanding safari experience in Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti with our guide Jonathan from Zara Tours. Jonathan was knowledgeable, attentive, and went above and beyond to provide us with fantastic experiences during our game drives, locating all the animals we were eager to see and answering all of our questions. He made the journey engaging and fun, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food at all the accommodations was superb, and the lodges were located in stunning settings.
I wholeheartedly commend Zara Tanzania Adventures for their dedication and performance.
An absolutely unbelievable experience, a must!
I don’t normally leave reviews but I had to make an exception for this. What an amazing 4 days/ 3 nights experience on our very first Safari!
Firstly a huge shoutout to Deo @ Goldfinch Adventures our organiser who made the transition effortless. We made contact in March 25 and just completed our tour in July 25. Firstly communication and responses were instant via email, to which then we switched to speaking over WhatsApp who would answer my numerous questions within hours. This was an extra special trip especially for me as I wanted to propose to my girlfriend. Deo advised how best to play it out and in which location, arranging with the local accommodation a special setup for the last evening. The plan came together and she said YES!! - Deo brother, you are a legend.
We had a private tour which entailed just myself and my new fiancée in the 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser. A lot of other tours were crammed with upto 6 people in one vehicle, which would have been really uncomfortable. Especially as you carry your suitcases with you. We did see another Goldfinch Adventures 4x4 along our tour which again had only another couple in.
Secondly a huge shoutout to Sele our driver/guide who has nearly 30 years experience of Safari tours and the Serengeti. The man is a walking/ talking satnav and such a knowledgable man. For 3 solid days, we covered maybe 400-500 miles looking for animals and not once did he use maps. He knew exactly where to go. Now you might say it’s his job, but you wait until you experience this for yourself.. I can very easily find my way around the UK.. road signs, points of interest etc. Not out here.. one track leads to another, the next one leads you into a swamp.. nothing's straight, you don’t know if your facing north, east, south or west. it blew my mind! 😂 Talking of animals, we managed to see everything we wanted and more. The BIG 5 complete✅ A very rare sighting of a Leopard relaxing up a tree was a highlight. Face to face with numerous Lions and there family’s! Elephants, Giraffe’s, Buffalo, Hyena’s and the illusive Rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater along with all the more common animals.. our instagram story has not stopped going off and the comments from back home have been very jealous of our entire trip.
The accommodation we stayed at was fantastic. We especially liked Acacia Farm Lodge & Moyo Tented Camp. The food and rooms here were unreal. Not what we were expecting so far from home but it definitely exceeded our expectations.
Truely an amazing experience that was made a hell of a lot easier from Deo, Sele and the Goldfinch Adventures Team. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
100% worth every penny we spent!

One of the most beautiful trips of my life
One of the most exciting experiences of my life. Breathtaking landscapes, animals immersed in their habitat, and fantastic overnight stays, especially the accommodation in the Serengeti National Park, completely immersed in the savannah. Excellent food and extremely friendly staff. Kelvin, the organizer, was extremely kind and punctual in responding to all our requests before departure and during the safari. Ezechiel, the guide, was excellent and always available to us. An exceptional pilot and an excellent guide, able to explain everything to us and take us everywhere.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
