Stress free, responsive and great tour.
We absolutely loved our safari experience with professional safaris's.
I initially actually planed a safari in kenya - i booked my own place, sorted my own guide etc. But when i realised the cost of park fee's is almost triple tanzania i changed over to tanzania.
We went with professional as it was recommended by a friend who had used the same guide company.
Edison was the one to organise the whole safari. He was very responsive, helpful and we even spoke over the phone initially to give him an idea of what we were looking for. They created multiple different safari plans with detailed catalogues with the details to compare the different packages.
They even booked our flight from arusha to zanzibar even though our safari ended at arusha.
We got what we asked for. A whole private safari 4x4 with driver. Our driver Faraji was amazing. He was so lovely, always smiling and so excited to show us the animals. Such a nice guide to be around. We were on our honeymoon and he gave us the space we needed. He has been in the bussiness for a long time (since 2009 i think but maybe longer) and knows the park so well as well as all the animals. We didnt even have ot buy binoculars because he has his own. He never let us cary our own bags. The car was cleaned by every morning and he allowed us to tailor the tour to our needs. Could not have been more pleased with our guide.
As for the parks, we started with lake manyara because it was closer to kilimanjaro airport and we didn't want to drive all the way to serengeti on the first day. We loved it, but in retrospect, maybe taragine would have been a better idea as we would have seen more and it was Faraji's favorite. But it was still nice.
Serengeti is amazing. We saw everything there but black rhino. We even did the balloon safari - expensive (we payed £425 or $550 per person) but it was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience - but if its out of budget or a stretch dont worry there is enough in serengeti to keep you excited). We did 2 nights in serengeti. One is enough if you are in a rush but nothing wrong with two. The last day was in ngorongoro which was our favorite - you wont see as many animals as in serengeti but it is beautiful - you really feel like you are in an animal documentary.
Overall we were very satisfied with our experience with Professional safaris and would recommend them.

The guide Venance is extremely professional.
The tour guide of this travel agency, Venance, is extremely professional, polite and responsible. This is a key factor that contributed to our positive experience during the trip; he did his best to solve problems and was very optimistic and enthusiastic. At the same time, we highly value punctuality, and Venance did a great job in this regard as well. He would always ask us what time we wanted to set off the next day and would depart on time every day. If you are planning a trip, you should definitely choose him as it would be a very good choice.

Amazing organization for a most exciting safari adventure
Our guide Enock was really a very kind, thoughtful and well experienced person to guide us through our 5 days safari! Thanks to him we have seen all the animals we wanted including the big 5! Birds, monkeys, girafes, elephants, lions, zebras, buffaloes, and so much more. The lodges were exactly like described and the people we encountered were all so kind and helpful. Everything was perfect. Thank you a thousand times Enock!

Goldfinch Adventures make dreams a reality
My partner and I opted for Goldfinch Adventures to organise and plan our 13 day combined Safari and Beach vacation in October 2025. It appears we chose wisely as we both agree it was the best vacation we have ever had (and we have been to many places!). Kelvin listened to our requirements and put together a very professional full itinerary for our private tour. Together we tweaked a couple of bits here and there before settling on the final product. Everything was taken care of, from transfers, to accommodation bookings, park fees, food & refreshments and knowledgeable guides, and for any queries he was available via WhatsApp. We swear we had the best driver/guide in Tanzania. Samwel made this trip for us with his kind heart, keen eyesight, sense of humour and expert driving skill. By the end of the week he had become a friend, after seeing the big 5 and so much more in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorogoro. We visited Kilimanjaro and literally made our own coffee from beans to roasting to crushing and boiling. We swam in the hot spring of Chemka. Our second week was more relaxing and less complex on the white sands of Zanzibar but this too was organised by Kelvin including the domestic flight. Do not be alarmed by the "30% up front and pay the rest in cash once you get there". This appears to be typical practice for the local operators. We cannot fault any part of this trip and can thoroughly recommend Goldfinch Adventures to plan your experience of Tanzania & Zanzibar.

Excellent bespoke safari with an incredibly knowledgable guide.
A ten day safari with no two days being the same. Amazing wildlife encounters and the guide Freddy knew what to look for and could explain everything about the landscape and the wildlife.
An amazing immersive experience and we’ll organised with getting to and from the airport and accommodation.

The same that other but with the best price
We really enjoyed the safari, which included visiting Gorongoro and the Serengeti. We searched online for the cheapest option and found Zanzi Tours. On the tour, we shared a 4x4 with five other people from different agencies, and they paid much more than us for the same services. Highly recommended!
