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!

Thank you for the great safari
We had a truly memorable 2-day safari to the Maasai Mara with Zero-one Tours. I travelled with four friends, and from the moment we left Nairobi until our return, everything was perfectly arranged and stress-free.
The game drives were nothing short of spectacular. We spotted elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and many other animals in their natural habitat. The highlight for us was the early morning safari, where we experienced the golden sunrise over the savannah — an absolutely breathtaking moment we will never forget.
Our driver-guide was not only highly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes but also warm and approachable, which made the journey even more enjoyable. The lodge we stayed in was comfortable, the meals were excellent, and the hospitality exceeded expectations.
A special thank you to Maureen, who coordinated our trip with great care and ensured everything ran smoothly. Zero-one’s organization and attention to detail meant we could simply relax and enjoy the adventure.
It was an experience filled with laughter, learning, and once-in-a-lifetime memories. I would confidently recommend Safari Zero-one to anyone looking for an authentic and well-coordinated Maasai Mara safari.

A professional and reliable tour operator that made our safari an unforgettable experience.
We had an amazing experience with Josana Tours from start to finish. Communication was clear, fast, and very professional, which made planning our safari easy and stress-free. The service exceeded our expectations – everything was well organized, reliable, and delivered exactly as promised. We had several guides during the trip, all of them knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Sleeping in tents made the adventure even more special, as we could truly feel close to nature while still being safe and well taken care of. The value for money was excellent, and the wildlife encounters were absolutely unforgettable. Thanks to Josana Tours, our safari became a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. Highly recommended!

From Serengeti to Zanzibar: A treasure trove of memories in 12 days
I have thought a trip would make such a big difference in my life. Safari360 took me on a 12-day tour of Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and finally Zanzibar. Every day is a different experience; every day is a new movie. Our guide was not just a driver; he was a teacher, a friend, and a wonderful storyteller. He used to share stories related to every animal, every scene. The blue sea of Zanzibar and the hospitality of the locals add another dimension to the trip. Safari360 didn't just give me a trip - it gave me a treasure trove of memories.

My best recommendation to visit Lalibela
We expend wonderful time at Lalibela, and most of this was because of our guide, Maereg. He was so kind, professional, and helpful, and took good care of us. The allocation was perfect with incredible views, and the food out of comments!!! His knowledge about history and religion is amazing, and he generously shares with you. His devotion is something than we will remember through the years. He really touched our souls. Thank you my friend!
Somos una pareja Argentina que pasó unos días maravillosos en Lalibela, mayormente gracias a Maereg nuestro guía, que fue tan amable, profesional, y nos ayudo y cuidó en todo momento. El alojamiento es precioso, y con unas vistas impresionantes, y la comida igual. Su conocimiento del lugar, la historia y la religión es increíble, y lo comparte. La devoción con la que habla la amos a recordar para siempre, realmente nos tocó el corazón.
