Would Book Again with Goldfinch 100%!

5/5

We had an amazing experience with Goldfinch Expeditions. There are many companies to choose from; however, I was thrilled to have chosen to work with Goldfinch. From the beginning, Elizabeth's communication was immaculate. She emailed immediately and offered to Whatsapp as well, which I prefer so it was very convenient! We communicated throughout the entire tour. She answered every question leading up to our trip and throughout it - down to little things like wake up times, safari details, and food/beverage offerings at the places we stayed. She was also able to help us arrange airport pickup and transport.

We did the 3 day/2 night tour! We began with a beautiful day hike around Mt. Kilimanjaro. Our guide, Roland, was kind, informative, and let us go at our own pace. The provided lunch was great and had many options. They also asked about any dietary restrictions. All of our hotel transfers were smooth and organized. We then did a two-day safari, the first day we did Ngorongoro Crater and on the second day we did Tarangire National Park. We were worried about only doing a two-day Safari, but in the end, the safaris were both SO wonderful that we saw all the animals between both days! Our guide, Malisa, was safe, intelligent, and answered so many questions! We went on the tour with a few other people and loved our co-safari goers. The safari lunches were hot and delicious and they also provided beer and wine, which was a fun bonus! The two hotels we stayed at, which were part of our package with Goldfinch, were comfortable clean and spacious with lovely staff, yummy dinners, and both (conveniently!) had pools.

Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the value we got for the money we paid. The tour happened exactly as it was meant and was reliable. Some details were up in the air (who will join you on the safari, what time you leave, etc.), but that is part of any safari trip regardless of agency, and none of these last minute details detracted from the trip whatsoever. The things that we could not know in advance, Elizabeth communicated all of them every step of the way and we were so pleased with the outcome.

Overall, Goldfinch Expeditions was extremely helpful, reliable, and professional. Elizabeth was also willing to assist with adding on other tours and options before and after our original safari booking. She was an amazing resource. I would reccommend Goldfinch Expeditions and would absolutely book through them again when I return to Tanzania. Thank you, Goldfinch Expeditions!

Exceeded all expectations

5/5

This was our first safari experience and it exceeded all expectations. Elizabeth at Goldfinch Expeditions was brilliant, she helped advise us which parks to visit, provided a detailed itinerary and gave us advice on what to bring with us. The communication leading up to the safari was excellent and any questions were answered promptly.

Elizabeth and Karim met us at the airport and took us to our first hotel in Arusha and then we were picked up by our guide early the next morning to embark on our safari experience.We visited Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater and also did a hot air balloon experience. Each park was unique in its way and offered us a chance to see different wildlife. During the trip, everything ran smoothly and on time.

We had a fantastic guide, Malik, who had so much knowledge and experience. He was a great driver and his skills allowed us to see countless animals including the ‘big five’. They also accommodated a vegetarian diet and throughout the day provided us with water and other soft drinks, as well as regular breaks when needed.

All the accommodation was comfortable, the staff were hospitable and the food and entertainment was great. We enjoyed our stay at every single lodge.

Overall, I highly recommend Goldfinch Expeditions for anyone looking to embark on a safari in Tanzania. It was an unforgettable experience and I even wish it could have been longer.

Amazing Safari Experience

5/5

We just completed a 5 day safari with Goldfinch that included Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National parks. It was a fantastic experience. We saw tons of animals, including all of the big 5. Our tour guide Assad was extremely knowledgeable and located everything we wanted to see and got us as close as possible. Elisabeth was fantastic to work with to get the plan all out into place for us. We upgraded from tent camp stays to lodges, and we also did a hot air balloon safari, and she set it all up for us. The lodges were great.
10 out of 10 for Goldfinch on our safari. They made it a fantastic trip.
