Deo is an excellent guy, we took care of everything you need for a safari tour in Tansania.
First of all we want to say great thanks to our organisator Deo. From the beginning of our Safari tour(including welcoming us in Arusha Airport) until the last time he helped us and took care of us very well. Whatever we ask him a question he answered very kindly and quickly. If you have any questions about the tour, don't hesitate to contact with him, actually he will answer your questions before you asked him 😉
~Duration of Safari Tour~
we booked a 4-day Safari tour. It was very suitable for a great experience. We think that, 4-Day tour is the best choice, 3 days could be short and 5 days maybe too much.
~Accomodation~
We stayed first night in a lodge, that was okay, other two days we stayed in a tent at camping site, we should say that camping site organisations was not so good, usually they don't have enough hot water to take a shower and don't have enough charging slots for our mobile devices. But this part is the under control of camping sites.
~Driver and Cook~
On the other hand we had a great driver and a very talented cook :) food was also very tasty and traditional.
Everyone should have this experience at least once in a life. You will have amazing memories at the end of this trip. We suggest you to take a professional photo machine to take great pictures of wild animals.
Strongly suggest to everyone Goldfinch Adventures to feel this amazing experience 👍💪
Kind regards from Refik and Ümran

Perfect Safari and unforgettable moments
We booked the safari in Germany, and Deo Robert provided us with extensive guidance beforehand. He took all of our wishes into account and put together a fantastic package. We were picked up from the airport and then greeted personally by Deo. After a day in Arusha, an unforgettable journey through Tarangire Park, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater began. Our tour guides were very experienced, courteous and friendly. The accommodation was also excellent. Everything went well. We can look back on a wonderful, impressive time and would like to say thank you to Goldfinch Adventures and everyone involved.

Excellent Safari, amazing experience!
It was a great tour. The first day we visited the Materuni waterfall and learned a lot about Coffee production. The second day we spend at Tarangire National Park and saw many zebras and elephants. We took a rest at Osupuko Lodge with very nice rooms, pool and a magnificent view over the Park.
The next three days we visited the Serengeti Park and saw an uncountable number of animals, included lions, leopards and gepards. We slept at the luxury Into-Wild Africa tented lodge.
At the Ngorongoro crater we saw a rhino, which is a very rare occasion. We will never forget our last night at the marvelous MaweMawe Manyara Lodge.

Deo Robert and Frank are where professionalism and perfectionism meet.
Deo Robert and Frank are where professionalism and perfectionism meet. We had wonderful and unforgettable holidays.
Our eight-day itinerary started in Arusha. We were picked up from Arusha airport and headed to the hotel in the city where we stayed for 2 nights with a day trip to the waterfall which was combined with coffee history in Materuni.
We then went to Tarangire National Park. We stayed one night in Osupuko Lodge. This lodge is amazing with a river view.
Our next Safari adventure was the Serengeti Park via Ngorongoro crater. We stayed three nights in an Into-Wild Africa rented lodge. We got to explore the Serengeti Park immensely.
On our last day of Safari, we visited the Ngorongoro crater and spent a night in MaweMawe Manyara Lodge. It was pure relaxation with a great view of Manyara Lake.
* During our booking, Deo Robert was very professional. Great communication and quick responses to questions.
* Payments were easily done online.
I will always choose the Goldfinch Safari Tour and would recommend it to anyone.

Perfection from start to finish! Frank is the man and everything was organised so perfectly.
We did in 4 days Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and were blown away.
Accomodations kept getting better
Saw 4 of the big 5 in the first 2 hours!

Awesome Experience
Our 3 days safari with our guide Ludo was such an amazing experience. Ludo knew all about wildlife and was very looking to satisfy everybody's wish in the car. He was always on the look out for all the wildlife and to serve us the best possible way.
I would have loved to stay more than 3 days, so that we would have had less driving and able to visit also Tarangire national part and maybe Lake Mynara, but we were tight on days
Deo Robert (the tour operator) and Ludo our tour guide both suggested it but we could do otherwise
Although we manage still to see all the big 5 -and even more and more wildlife
Moyo Tent was a unique wildlife tent experience- welcomed us with a traditional song, refreshing cloth and a drink. You experience both sunset and sunrise in the true wild and also hear and see wildlife closeup (we had 3 dikdiks in front of our tent - and could hear sounds of animals at night which was awesome)
The Retreat at Ngorogoro was on another level - amazing luxury and ambience - well needed after all very long day in the wild looking for animals and dusty roads
Great Thank you goes to Deo Robert who was always in touch and tried to make our experience an unforgettable one
And Thank you to Ludo for making us feel like family during these 3 days spent with us and for being able to spot all the wildlife we could possibly see

Wonderful trip with a lot to see in a very short time
We booked a two-day safari from Sanisbar. Deo Roberts was always available to answer questions before the safari.
We were picked up at the hotel. After an early departure from Zanzibar, we traveled to Arusha. There we were welcomed by Deo Robert and our driver Ludo.
We visited Tarangirie National Park and, after spending the night at MaweMawe Lodge, the Ngorogoro Crater on the second day. Our driver took us back to Arusha airport in the late afternoon, where Deo Roberts was already waiting for us with a pack of coffee.
We were treated to great food and a knowledgeable driver.
After a short flight back to Zanzibar, we were dropped off at the hotel.
Thank you for a great safari.

A truly once in a lifetime experience! Goldfinch Adventures - you are awesome!
I reached out to Robert Deo of Goldfinch Adventures earlier this year about arranging a 2 day 1 night safari in the middle of our trip to Zanzibar. We were a family of four, including myself, fiancé and her parent’s.
Roberts communication during the quotation phase was absolutely fantastic. He was open to tailoring the trip and accommodation style to suit our budget. Ahead of arriving in Tanzania, we received all information promptly, a thorough and detailed itinerary, internal flight tickets and drivers to pick us up and drop us off at the beginning and end of the safari.
The process could not have been smoother! Robert met us at the airport on arrival to give us a further overview of the itinerary which was really insightful.
Our guide, Frank, was awesome! Frank was very attentive throughout our two day safari. He ensured we were well looked after. He is extremely knowledgable and his vision was immense! Took us a while to spot the wildlife, but Frank was quick to point out lions stalking wildebeest and Rhinos in the distance. Both parks were incredible - but of the two Ngorongoro was the highlight! The pictures don’t do it justice.
We covered a lot of distance in two days - Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The jeep was very spacious and well stocked with cold drinks. Frank was an excellent driver and the time passed very quickly as we drove between the parks and lodge. We felt incredibly safe with Frank as our guide and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The trip was extremely well executed - luxurious and provided us with a very intimate safari experience.
The accommodation, Manyaras secret was out of this world - if you have the opportunity- book it! The staff were extremely kind and well versed in ensuring their guests were well taken care of - particularly escorting you to and from the restaurant after dark (we could hear the hippos on the lake). Fantastic villas for families, a lovely pool and restaurant with a fire pit. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the stars with a nice glass of wine.
At the end of the trip we arrived at Arusha airport, Robert met us to say goodbye - and knowing how much we love coffee provided us with two bags of Kilimanjaro coffee beans - a great touch!
Thank you Robert and Frank for a truly once in a lifetime trip - we will be recommending Goldfinch to all of our friends coming to Tanzania in the future!
All the best,
Nick, Henrietta, Krish and Stephanie

An unforgettable 4-day group safari
We went on a 4-day safari adventure with Goldfinch Adventures starting from Zanzibar, initially as a group of five friends. Our guide, Omari, picked us at the airport and introduced us to the safari world right away. Despite the troubles of camping in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, where it rained on several nights, we were comfortable and well taken care of. Every meal, prepared by our very own chef Richard, was a delicious. Our friend recommended this great company to us and it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our lives. We would eagerly book with Goldfinch Adventures over and over again.

Great Safari, Great Company!
Our 4-day camping safari was nothing short of spectacular. Guided by Omari, we encountered a stunning large number of elephants, lions, zebras and many others up close. The service throughout the trip was top-notch, from the delicious meals to the seamless handling of every detail, even when faced with unexpected challenges. Five stars to Goldfinch Adventures!
