Great package, great value, great driver, great experience, see details in review below.
My family and I recently embarked on an unforgettable safari trip with Salina Wild Adventures, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we set off, it was clear that our English-speaking driver was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about wildlife and conservation. He provided insightful commentary throughout the journey, enriching our experience with fascinating facts about the animals and the ecosystem.
The path design of the safari was meticulously planned, ensuring that we could witness a wide array of wildlife in their natural habitats without causing any disturbance. It was a perfect blend of adventure and education, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of the wild up close while understanding the importance of preserving it.
Moreover, Salina Wild Adventures proved to be incredibly kid-friendly. The paths were safe and easily navigable, making it comfortable for families with children to explore. The driver was patient and engaging, often pointing out sights that would interest the kids and answering their myriad of questions with enthusiasm.
This safari trip was an extraordinary adventure that combined learning with fun in a way that was accessible for all ages. Salina Wild Adventures has truly created an experience that not only respects the wild but also leaves its visitors with a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature. It's an experience we'll cherish forever, and we can't wait to return.

Family run business with a very personal service, flexibility and great people
We just came back to London from a fantastic safari in the masai mara with Jocky Tours. We were very fortunate to have Julius as our guide, driver and genuine companion. He picked us up from Nairobi Airport (Kenya airways flight cancelled and we were delayed by nearly 2 hours but not a problem, adjusting the safari times no trouble). Wattsapp communication easy with both Jocky and Julius. We had so many laughs, saw some amazing animals, julius went the extra mile to drive us to the best spots, memories for a lifetime. We would jump at the chance to do it all again with Jocky and Julius.

For budget tour very good
I booked 6 days safari Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Very good value for money it was.
The amount of animals, I see was fantastic. I am so satisfyad eith it.
The transport is by minivan. For me it was good enough. Our game driver was exceptional. He drowe us so smoothly on pumpy roads.
The accomodation was not much, but good enough for budget tour. Font forget the main reason you come to safari tour: seeing beautiful animals. In Amboseli tve accomodation was super good: new and clean facilities with everything working wery well.
About food: there was lots of food. Moustly wery tasty as well. But in Nakuru hotel there was something fishy. 3 of our group got food poisoning.
All together: if you must go with budgetfriendly safari option, then Tall Masai Safari is very good choice. The price is very good and you will enjoy yor safari. They even got me afterwards to my hotel, that was not in city center. As a solo female traveller I felt myselt completely safe. It is very important if you travel alone.
In conclusion: safari is for seeing nature and animals. I got it all. If you want some luxoury accomodation, then you must pay more and thats it. For me was budget safary only option to go to safari at all. So I am very greatful for this opportunity❤️

We feel scammed, I would advise you choose another company if possible
We got sold 4 days safari with 4 days FULL day game drive
Day 1 „full day game drive“ entering the Tarangire Park: 12:45 p.m, driving out at 5 p.m
At the entrance gate to the national park were the guides rather chatting with each other then buying the entrance tickets and go finally on a safari
We were told we would sleep the first night in a comfortable king-size bed. We ended up sleeping in a single bed which was 1,80 m long (I´m 1,92m). The mattress was so thin that one could feel the wood under the mattress
Day 2 „full day game drive“
Entering Ngorongoro: 12:30 a.m, driving out at 5:15 p.m
Breakfast started at 9 a.m. After breakfast, we had to wait because the cars weren´t packed correctly and the guides had to change. Before entering the Ngorongoro the guides did again a lot of small talk and wasted time. Then our car with all the guests inside had to push another car from the company because it had broken down
From 5:15 p.m until 8 p.m we drove at high speed through the Serengeti to our camping space. Couldn´t see any animals at this high speed and arrived at the camping ground when it was dark.
Day 3 „full day game drive“ 8 a.m – 4:15 p.m (this was the only day that came close to an actual full day game drive)
We started driving in the Serengeti at 8 a.m, we were by far not the first car who left the camp. After 4:15 p.m we were driving again at high speed to the camp in Ngorongoro Crater for the night.
Day 4 „full day game drive“ 7:15 a.m – 1:40 p.m
Unfortunately, we have been always one of the last cars that start driving in the mornings.
Because the same car we had to push on day 2 broke down again, we had to take all the people from this car in our car. This means that all the seats 2 people had to sit. Safety!?
Apart from that, because this costs us a lot of time, the driver had to drive really really fast to make it to later appointments. Some people feared for their lives
In total very unprofessional company and a disappointing experience. Especially because this tip cost us 650 USD per person. Please stay away from this company.

The most magical experience ever!
I definitely reccommend Goldfinch Adventures for your safari trip! Everything was very well organized, the owner Deo was responding immediately to every question we had beforehand and was very kind! The safari was amazing, we saw a lot of animals. The chefs prepared delicious food with options for vegeterians. We did not have to think about flights, accommodation, transfers etc. because Deo did all the work for us. If you plan on going to a safari, Goldfinch adventures is the best tour operator in Tanzania!

Great value for money.
Edison of Bamboo Ecotours is a nice person who will try to do his best to suit your needs. I went on a gorilla safari with my daughter and her fiancè. We loved the accomodation at the Da Vinci Lodge: large rooms, excellent cuisine and friendly staff. We chose to chase the Susan family of gorillas at VNP in Rwanda. It was a steep and hard climb worthy any single step. To look at a Silverback passing by staring at you from less than one meter is priceless.

Outstanding service and an excellent experience!
We booked a one night trip to Chobe with Zambezi Expedition and the entire process went smoothly. From my online inquiry to the pick up and tour, everything was easy, professional, and they were very accommodating to our specific needs. The details were great and we had one of the best experiences of our lives. We loved the trip and people so much that we booked a Sunset Cruise, a Birding Cruise, and an Airport Transfer (they do everything!) and had excellent, punctual service every time. They even remembered I was vegetarian and gave me a veg snack on the sunset cruise - that's attention to detail! Great value for money, a truly wonderful tour group. Can highly recommend them!
