Try it and you'll have an amazing experience
I had some doubt at the beginning as I book myself and not through agencies... The most beautiful surprise sine the beginning in submitting me the safary trip tour, changing and adapting it due to my request of modification even during the safary itself.
No complain at all but, simple huge thanking to all the staff from the back office till our magnificent driver James who was not only a driver but a teacher and became a friend.
We visited not a country but a magnificent Pearl in the African continent

The perfect people to organise a once in a lifetime adventure
Thank you, we had an absolutely amazing safari experience from start to finish. Everything was seamless – from the first enquiry through to the very last day, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed. The itinerary was spectacular in every way: breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife encounters, beautiful and varied accomodation, and attentive staff who made us feel so well cared for.
We never had to worry about logistics or timing – everything just flowed perfectly, allowing us to relax and immerse ourselves fully in the adventure. It was beyond our expectations.
We can’t thank you enough for creating such an unforgettable journey.
Highly recommended to anyone wanting a truly world-class African safari.

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.

8 Day Mid-Range Serengeti Safari
Lubulu was our driver and guide for our 6 day safari into the Serengeti. His heritage is Maasai, so who could be better, to guide us through the area and share his knowledge. He was excellent throughout, spotting wildlife and sharing information about their behaviours. We couldn’t have asked for more.
Our first safari was to Tarangire National Park. We spotted elephants, lion, zebra, and giraffe as well as several bird species. If this was just the first day we were in for a real treat. On the second day we saw a cheetah and her cub. My partner and I had waited 23 years since our first safari to see cheetah, what a thrill. We saw the big 5, ugly 5, and more.
The highlight was the wildebeest migration at the river crossing, a real spectacle, and nothing really prepares you for this event. We sat for over three hours just watching the wildebeest cross the river. The wildebeest just kept coming and coming, you could see them for miles in the distance. It was overwhelming to see the sheer numbers and watching the vultures waiting for one of them to slip up.
Lubulu didn’t take us to the Maasai villages, he said his focus was on the animals. We did stop at a couple of craft markets, just to take a short break with the option of shopping. I thought the second one was the best.
Lubulu looked after us really well. Thank you so much, and whenever I hear the lyrics of Toto Africa it will transport me back to those spectacular moments in Tanzania.

Perfect and Smooth
Our driver and tour guide was Rodger. He was brilliant!
He was able to spot and find a lot of animals from the Big Five and even a lot more! I highly recommend him as I felt safe through the entire trip despite the traffic in Kenya. Additionally, Rodger is very kind and takes into the account the best experience for the tourists.
We had a life time experience!

Wondeful Safari Experience with Roger
Our safari was great from start to finish. Communication was smooth, and everything was well organized. Roger, our guide, was fantastic—friendly, reliable, and full of interesting facts about nature and life in Kenya. He made sure we saw incredible wildlife, including the rarest animals, that are usually hard to spot! Highly recommended for a memorable adventure!

Professional safari experts
Having never previously been on a safari my wife and I were reliant upon being sold a safari package that satisfied our requirements. Wayne was incredibly helpful in ensuring we got our accommodation right as staying more than 15 minutes away from the NP entrance is a waste of safari time. Having only completed the safari last week I must say that we were very satisfied with the whole experience. The adventure lodge is comfortable and clean with lovely staff and food. The safari rangers/drivers did their best to take us to the best locations to ensure that we saw the big five, which we did. I must add that animal sightings are not guaranteed and thankfully caught our missing Lions on the morning that we departed. An unforgettable experience that we will hopefully return to one day. 🫶🏼

Buyaga Safaris were excellent in every way.
We had a fantastic holiday with Buyaga Safaris, very ably led by, Simpson, our guide. Simpson personalised our experience, making adjustments to the programme to accommodate our requests and capabilities.
Friends and family have asked what the highlight of the holiday was, and that is hard to say with so many:
The power and roar of Murchison Falls, with swirling currents and clouds of spray.
The elephants wandering, just metres away, past our lodge in the Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The encounter with the almost human gorillas. The babies rushing out of the bushes and then back again to tease the tourists. The majesty of the silverback. You looked into his eyes and he seemed to be thinking, 'Oh, another bunch of humans come to visit.'
We went looking for the elusive Shoebill in a couple of the parks, but did not find one. But Simpson had been in touch with other guides swapping sightings. Then on our last day on the way to the airport we stopped at a wetland, and there was the Shoebill.
I could add many other magical experiences, but rather than read this review, go and see for yourself.
Buyaga Safaris:
Communications: Lightening fast and very easy to deal with.
Service: Excellent.
Value for money: Much cheaper than using a UK based operator. Worth every cent.
Reliability: 100%.
