Our Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari experience was fool.
Our 4-day safari was honestly one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. The mix of adventure, peace, and pure beauty was unreal.
We stayed 3 day in Masai Mara. Our guide Richard was the best, he knew so much about the animals and could spot things we’d never notice. The Masai Mara completely blew me away-seeing lions up close, elephants walking calmly by, and that endless open land stretching forever. We got a chance to meet up with Masai people and we were really impressed to see their cultural activities.
Last day at Lake Nakuru. The place gave us the peaceful side of Kenya, with flamingos painting the lake pink and the cool breeze through the forest. Lake Nakuru was the perfect ending to an incredible last day. Asante Sana Clevers tumuti🙏

The best safari tour operator in Tanzania
We booked our dream honeymoon 5 day safari with Goldfinch and we couldn’t have asked for anything better!
From the get go, Brenda was responsive and organised, nothing was too much trouble and she made sure to accommodate everything that we were looking for. We had other quotes back from several other companies, but Brenda’s professionalism and responsiveness was far better than any other company we had spoken to.
We were collected from Arusha airport on the first day by Brenda and our guide for the next 5 days, Emmanuel. Emmanuel is a fantastic guide, again, nothing was too much trouble and he really went out of his way to make sure we were happy and that our safari trip was truly special. He was so knowledgeable about all of the animals and we were even lucky enough to be able to see the ‘big 5’. Emmanuel also allowed us the time to visit a Maasai village within the Ngorongoro Crater which we’d urge everyone to do if given the opportunity. It was brilliant and the people were so welcoming. It was great to get to know Emmanuel over the 5 days and we were sad to say goodbye at the end of our trip. On the last day we swapped guides and took a 2.5hr car journey from Arusha to Mt Kilimanjaro to walk the foothills to see Materuni Waterfalls, visit a coffee farm and the Chemka Hot Springs. We didn’t really know what to expect for this part of our trip, but it ended up being an amazing experience and the coffee farm and coffee tasting was another highlight for us! On the way back to the airport we met Brenda again, who gifted me a beach bag and sun hat for our onward journey to Zanzibar - such a lovely gesture!
We would recommend Goldfinch to anyone looking to book a safari trip, we had an unforgettable experience and have made memories that we will cherish forever.

Personal and helpful
Carien was very open to my wishes of what to include in my trip and made some great suggestions as well. My request was quite short notice but that wasn’t a problem whatsoever. She was very responsive at all times whenever l had a question. Text messages were clear and not ambiguous, as can be the case sometimes when texting. A satellite phone was arranged right before my safari began, and everything went smoothly, without any stress. She really thought along with me throughout my trip, almost as a friend would do. The price l paid for not having to worry about practicalities was well worth it. The hotels and lodges Carien was able to book for me so close to the date were exquisite, trips and excursions were breathtaking, and the restaurants suggested were very good as well. Carien is friendly, sincere and smart, a real treasure. l highly recommend her for your safari in Namibia!

Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari with Zohar — Beyond Our Wildest Dreams!
It’s been a week since we returned from our unforgettable journey to Tanzania — and we’re still in awe! This once-in-a-lifetime adventure exceeded every expectation we had.
I began planning this trip for our group of eight adults about a year ago, researching several local safari companies before choosing Zohar Safari — and I’m so glad I did. From the very first message, Lillian was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly prompt in answering every question. Together, we crafted a perfect 8-day itinerary combining thrilling game drives, a breathtaking hot air balloon experience, and meaningful cultural encounters — all beautifully balanced for adventure and relaxation.
The accommodations, from migration camps to boutique lodges, were superb — comfortable, authentic, and perfectly located. Zohar’s safari jeeps were also impressively well-equipped, stocked with everything from snacks and water to wipes and even toilet paper — details that made a big difference out in the bush.
Our guides and drivers, Solomon and Goodluck, were truly exceptional — real professionals who became friends by the end of the trip. They are funny, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife and nature. They were always punctual, organized, and calm behind the wheel (even on the bumpiest trails!). Solomon’s eagle eyes amazed us all — he could spot a leopard napping in a rocky cave from nearly a mile away! Thanks to his expertise, we witnessed the Great Migration — wildebeest crossing the Mara River while crocodiles lurked below — a breathtaking, heart-pounding sight we’ll never forget. Oh, and he also makes a great “bush bartender” during sunset sundowners! 🍹
What touched us most was how genuinely the Zohar team made us feel like family. They surprised us with birthday celebrations, took care of every detail, and even fulfilled my husband’s special request — helping him capture a photograph of a baobab tree under the Milky Way for his astrophotography project. That moment alone was pure magic.
To everyone at Zohar Safari — thank you for sharing the wonder of Tanzania with us and for creating memories that will stay with us forever. We can’t recommend you highly enough!

Excellent guide and amazing parks
I went on a 4 day trip with my friends. Safari360 had everything planned right from the start - the pick-up from the airport, the accommodation, the food and the daily safari were all smooth.
Our guide was very patient and very good at spotting wildlife. I saw lions and leopards in Serengeti, elephants in Tarangire, and rhinoceros and deer in Ngorongoro Crater. Each day was a new experience.
The cuisine was superb and the accommodations were pleasant and clean. The entire vacation exceeded expectations. This is an excellent package for those who want to see the nature and fauna of Tanzania up close.

Really bad experience
We organized our 7-day honeymoon with them.
First of all, I want to emphasize that the bad experience was probably due to the agent who handled our tour, Marta.
We had some issues during the first few days and tried to contact her — she never answered the phone. In fact, all communication was via email, and we repeatedly told her we wanted to speak with her, to which she refused.
When we organized the tour, we purposely left one day free in Arusha to decide later what to do. This was due to a last-minute change in our flight, and since the wedding was just a few weeks away, we decided to figure it out once there. To our surprise, she told us nothing could be done and suggested we visit a museum. I told her no, that this was not what we had agreed on, but she never responded or answered the phone. I had to find another agency at the last minute to avoid wasting a whole day of safari.
Additionally, they gave us a driver who was not from the agency. How do I know? Because:
1. The car had no company identification.
2. The driver had no idea who to contact.
3. He forgot the thermal bag for transporting hot meals, which meant we ended up having many picnic-style meals even though we had paid for hot food.
4. The vehicle was extremely uncomfortable, with no air conditioning. We had to drive with the windows down all day, and we ended up covered in dust. I can assure you that the other safari vehicles were not like this.
5. The car had no headrests, which made it very uncomfortable after spending 10–12 hours a day in the car.
Finally, they arranged an airport transfer for us from Arusha to Nairobi. Our flight was at 12:30 p.m., and they picked us up at 6:30 a.m. The drivers were shocked because the journey takes over 5 hours, and thanks to the traffic — and sheer luck — we barely made it. On top of that, we had to bribe customs staff to let us through or we would have missed the flight.
The driver’s exact words: “Anyone who has done this route or lives here knows it’s impossible to make this trip in such a short time.”
We contacted Marta again and I’m still waiting for a response.
To me, this has been a complete scam. I paid €7,000 for 7 days and they couldn’t even provide basic support during the safari. If anything had happened to us, I’m sure they wouldn’t have responded.
A terrible agency. If I came back, I’d definitely choose options like Safari Africano or Beach Safari.
