Boaz was great at finding the wildlife and flexible enough to take us to the unscheduled migration.
They were great to work with and helped me in every way I asked before, during and after the Safari. Highly recommended.

Everything was great
The days we spent with Alvin as our guide have been excellent. He searched the animals for us and gave us explanations and curiosities about every one we were seeing and we loved that. He is a great guide. Also the camps and hotels were very good, although we think lunchboxes could have been better. But well, in a general perspective, the experience worth it a lot.

Dickson was a wonderful guide! He explained about all life animals in the safari, and gave our time to live the experience. I loved everything

One-in-a-lifetime Adventure!
What an adventure! We loved our trip with Natureways Safaris. Beyond the superb logistics, good food and comfortable camping equipment, we felt safe and were able to take in the full experience, knowing that our guides were knowledgeable and responsible. I would highly recommend the 3-night canoe tour.

Long but safe ride to Kruger
SafariLink managed the transfer from OR Tambo to our camp in Kruger National Park which was pre-arranged by our tour operator, MoAfrika Tours.
Joseph (our driver) arrived early and he was very accommodating and helpful. He drove the coaster bus cautiously and he was very patient of the whole group amid the tardiness of some passengers.

hanks for an unforgettable safari
Hello,
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the organization of our safari in Tanzania.
Our French-speaking guide, Elisabeth, and our driver, Henry, played a major role in making this trip truly unforgettable.
With their authenticity, extensive knowledge of wildlife, kindness, and reassuring approach, they created an experience that was both enriching and safe. Every moment spent with them was marked by the passion with which they share their knowledge and by their deep respect for nature and its inhabitants.
Thanks to them, we return home with unforgettable memories and the desire to come back.
Once again, thank you for this exceptional experience.

Trip of a lifetime
What a trip. The journey was perfectly organized from start to finish—the transport, the food, the accommodations, nothing was lacking. The crew treated us exceptionally well. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions (and there were many), while the drivers made sure we always arrived quickly at the places we needed to be. Of course, you can’t arrange to see special animals—that requires luck, and we had it. But that’s not what we’ll remember. What we’ll remember is how Ole, Devid, Justin, and Hope gave us an unforgettable experience.

AN AMAIZING GIRL'S TRIP
This was my very first safari experience as a Tanzanian, and I chose to visit the Ngorongoro Crater with Goldfinch Adventures. I can truly say it was an absolutely incredible journey! Growing up here, you hear about how special Ngorongoro is, but nothing compares to standing on the rim and then descending into the crater,it felt surreal, like stepping into another world where every corner was alive with wildlife.
We made it a girls’ trip, and that was the highlight for me. Experiencing the crater with my closest friends, sharing laughs, gasps of excitement every time we spotted animals, and creating memories together made the trip unforgettable. We promised ourselves this will not be the last time,next time, it’s definitely going to be Serengeti together!
Our guide, Frank, made the experience even more special. He was simply the best so knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly sharp at spotting animals from afar. It honestly felt like he had a secret connection with the wildlife, because he always knew exactly where to take us for the perfect sightings. He didn’t just drive us around,he told us stories, taught us about the animals and their behaviors, and filled the day with fun and laughter.
Vanessa and Goldfinch Adventures handled everything so beautifully from planning to all the little details that made the trip smooth and stress free. I never once had to worry about logistics, and that gave us the freedom to just enjoy the adventure fully.
It was worth every single penny. To my fellow Tanzanians and to foreigners as well I highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures. You will not regret it. For me, Ngorongoro was a dream come true, and now I can’t wait for the girls’ trip to Serengeti,because this is just the beginning!

Simply the best there is!
We have recently return from an absolutely fantastic and unforgettable 10-days safari in Kenya thanks to James Muchina and Wild Portrait Safaris!
We were a group of 8 (ages 8-76) and James planned an impeccable trip for us that included 2 nights in Nairobi/Nairobi NP/ Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, 4 nights in Masai Mara NR, 2 nights at Lake Naivasha/Hells Gate and 2 nights in Amboseli NP. Through Wild Portrait Safaris you will get a personalised tour taking into account your interests, priorities, budget etc. All our dealings with James were seamless and smooth from start to finish. His focus is always on maximising your day-to-day adventures, ensuring each day on safari and the lodges offered a unique experience. In addition to James we also had his colleague Gerald as the guide in the second car.
This was my sixth safari (4th to Kenya) and I can without doubt say that James is an outstanding guide and the best I have ever had! He is a very sympathetic, kind and thoughtful person passionate about his job and with a strong moral and ethics in what he does. James has years of experience in the various reserves and animal behaviors which gives him an outstanding ability to read animal behavior and predict what they will do next (thereby positioning you in the best possible position in terms of the animal, light and nature). You spend a lot of time in the car with your guide and we always enjoyed our conversations with James as he willingly shared his knowledge about wildlife, nature and Kenya. James went out of his way to teach the kids the wonders of the savanna. At the end of the trip James is more than your guide, he is your friend!
One thing to remember is that you can never be guaranteed what you will experience despite how excellent your guide is – nature is what it is and we are guests in the animals natural habitat. We experienced more than you can dream of during our safari thanks to James and Gerald. We went during the migration season and that means that it sometimes became very hectic/crazy at the savanna. We were in those situations proud to have James and Gerald as our guides since they always put the welfare of the animals and nature first. Their strong moral and ethics stood out compared to a lot of other safari guides behaving in a manner that cannot be described in any other way than disgraceful and disgusting.
A safari is so much more than the animals. Being on the savanna is a feeling that goes straight to your heart and something I cannot put into words – you have to experience it. And the way to do that is to have a guides as James and Geral who are passionate about the magics of the savanna and go out of their way to give you that experience (within the limits of the nature, the rules and ethics).
I would wholeheartedly recommend Wild Portrait Safaris and James as they are the best in their business!
