I recently experienced a once-in-a-lifetime safari with Safari G.O.A.T.S., and it was phenomenal from start to finish. Our journey began in Arusha and took us through the stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife of Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti.

Our guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, making each wildlife encounter—like the massive elephant herds in Tarangire and the breathtaking Great Migration in the Serengeti—unforgettable. The highlight was exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, where we saw a rich variety of animals in a uniquely beautiful setting.

We also climbed the Mountain of Gods, Ol Doinyo Lengai, which offered a challenging yet rewarding experience with spectacular views from the summit. Our adventure ended perfectly with a relaxing stay in Zanzibar, where we enjoyed pristine beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and the historic charm of Stone Town.

Safari G.O.A.T.S. exceeded all expectations, providing seamless logistics, sustainable practices, and comfortable accommodations. I highly recommend them for an unparalleled safari experience in Tanzania, capped off with the serenity of Zanzibar. This trip created memories that will last a lifetime.

Young, warm and welcoming company which offers tailor made trips and safaris!
5/5

So, we’re do I start. We’ve booked a trip to Tanzania, first of all Because the country offers a great combination of wildlife animals, hiking, mountain climbing through amazing landscapes and beautiful nature and for sure a unique culture. Thanks to Safari GOATS and our Safari guide Frank we visited tons of places you normally would’t see if you book a trip on your own. Also I would like to thank Amir Harun and his team already. Amir was our mountain guide. He has roughly 16 years of experience climbing both Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro. Without this guy we couldn’t have reached both summits!

The first day nearby Materuni we’ve made our own coffee and learned about the originin of arabica coffee together with the local tribe. After our lunch we got a chance to buy some coffee and cultural art work from this local tribe. I can tell you, these are real business people. Rarely there are fix prices, so you have to bargain to make a good deal. After that, the guide took us for a walk through Materuni (last village before Kilimanjaro, we’ll be climbing this big friend later on our trip) to finally reach the amazing waterfall.

We also did Napuru waterfall, kanoed on Chala lake and visited kikuletwa (chemka) hot spring. Maaan this hot spring is amazing. The water is cristal clear. Could spend my whole trip here. You can swing from a rope, do a couple of backflips and I even saw a giant turtle!

What to say about these safaris. With Frank we have had an amazing safari guide. His knowledge about wildlife surpasses any expectations. The roads of Ngorongoro and Serengeti are printed in his brains I guess. He knows very good we’re to look for wildlife. Giraffe, elephants, zebras, leopards, Cheetahs, lions and lioness. We saw it all. Like my fellow travel buddy, Arne, said: “words nor pictures can describe how magnificent this place is".

I want to end with a big thank you to Safari GOATS. They have exceeded our expectations by far. It’s a rather small company. But that makes them very authentic, flexible towards us as clients. You’re not a number and their trips are tailor made. It’s a young and fresh company, but at the same time warm and welcoming. And also a special thanks to Uncle Nazoro. This man’s hospitality is your grandma’s hospitability myltiplied by 10. Lovely man with a big heart.

Excellent safari, great people, and awesome experience.
5/5

Incredible experience with Safari Goats. They did their best to help create a custom plan for us as we wanted to remain active and hike throughput our trip; the walking safari’s were incredible and our favorite part. When things weren’t as we expected, Safari Goats was helpful and flexible to make our itinerary and trip better and closer to what we envisioned. We are thankful they helped create a once in a lifetime experience for us and the value in relation to the costs was incredible.
My wife and I were very excited to find that we were a solo safari, and not grouped with other people. This was awesome because we had more flexibility and space in the truck which allowed us to move around and get the best angles to view animals and to stretch out and relax on the long rides. This also allowed us to do feel like we were on an adventure rather than just being a tourist.
The accommodations and food were good, and varied from excellent hotels to tent camps (glamping) and overall provided a good mixture of comfort and adventure. Overall I felt like we experienced a great version Tanzania and Africa, and would recommend Safari Goat’s to anyone not looking for the standard tourist experience.

The communication was excellent, fantastic friendly guides ! Very organised
5/5

Sayeed our Guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable, nothing was a problem, the trip was so well organised. We had problems with our airline flights (nothing to do with Safari Goats and completely independent) and we arrived a day later and Safari Goats were amazing at reorganising our itinerary, and reducing our stressful experience,
Nothing was too much trouble for them. The tour was not rushed and the pace was just right. The food provided in the lodges and picnics was superb, I think we were the envy of many picnic tables along the way. Freshly cooked hot food, fruit, muffins, coffee etc! Really impressive :) We saw so many animals, but also rare ones like the Savannah cat and Leopard. The Ngorongoro crater was a highlight, such a rare site… biodiversity… stunning scenery. Eddie the Manager was great and also recommended a contact in Zanzibar so we were able to get some great recommendations for trips there too. A great team, great business, professional and our family had a really memorable trip. Thank you Safari Goats :)

5/5

I recently returned from an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, organized by Safari Goats and I am happy to share my feelings. From the moment I first contacted them, the professionalism of the team was evident. They were not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally attentive, ensuring that all my travel preferences and concerns were addressed. The detailed itinerary they provided left nothing to chance.

During the safari, our guide Frank was expert not only in wildlife but also in ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to provide us with unique wildlife viewing opportunities, showing immense respect for the natural environment and the animals. The agency's choice of the lodge was impeccable, offering comfort and excellent service.

The efficiency and thoroughness of Safari Goats made our Tanzanian safari a worry-free, spectacular adventure. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Africa with a reliable and professional team.

4/5

It was a great experience.
We liked the food, the people at the tented camp and lodge, the great experience, the driver and we felt safe during our stay at the tent and lodge. However we’re a little sad about the fact that they said that the cars are good and you have backup like 5 cars. We were waiting for a solution in a short while, but it took 3.5 hours in the morning. The car has electricity problems, so so many times the car had to be pushed to start the engine. At one time there was no other car, so my husband an I had to push the car. That is no problem, but what if we were not at a safe place to push the car by ourselves, then we had to wait again for the car to start till some other safari jeep would arrive.

Dear Sevde

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed nearly every minute of your experience at the tented camp and lodge. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the car during your safari. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we regret that we fell short in this regard.

We understand the frustration and concern caused by the long wait time and the recurring electrical issues with the car. Our guide, Athuman, did his best to try to fix the car without informing the appropriate person at the office. Although sending another car from Arusha would be a very long drive than 3.5 hours of waiting this, the guide managed to make the issue fixed as it was within his capability.

Rest assured, we have undergone a quick office meeting about your incident, and such things will be addressed immediately to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. Your feedback helps us improve our services, and we appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

We value your time and money and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a smoother and more enjoyable safari experience.

Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to serving you better in the future.

Thank you again for choosing us, and we are happy to you chose to be part of the GOAT family.

Regards

Safari Goats exceeded all our expectations of the safari and we will be coming back
5/5

From the very start to the end, Safari Goats was one of the very few who helped us personalise our itinerary to really suit our needs. Many other tour operators that I looked into took very long to reply and were quite expensive. The value for money was exceptional, considering the quality of the expereince and the expertise of our guide, Eddy. Eddy's knowledge of the wildlife and ecosystems enriched our journey, making every moment memorable and we all learnt alot. His determination to track and share the beauty of the animlas in their natural habitat was amazing, reflecting the entire tour operator's dedication to providing exceptional experiences. They made this the best trip of our lives. Examples would be, during lunch, we saw other tourists eating out of lunch boxes but Safari Goats planned for the lodges to cook fresh warm food for us everyday and we ate out of clean metal plates and utensils. I personally looked forward to lunch everyday because I got to try all the different local Swahili food. The land cruiser we were driven in for the safari was clean extremely comfortable as well. Overall this trip was amazing and we will definitely be recommending Safari Goats to ALL of our friends and we will see Eddy real soon again!

Gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience that makes us want to come back. We will!
5/5

Beyond our imagination! When we decided to come on a safari, we had a gazillion questions and expectations, which were all answered and met beyond what we could imagine! Safari G.O.A.T.S. walked patiently with us from our initial enquiries and addressed our concerns, right down to what could be the smallest and silliest worry we had, to give our family a “greatest of all times” experience. The personalised attention that Eddy and his team had for us was mind blowing - you have opened our eyes to the most beautiful place on earth in the endless plains of Serengeti, where the harmony between man - nature - wild truly exists here in Tanzania. Safari Goats took us on a trip that allowed us to witness the very unique nature of the different animals in their natural state, and it blew our minds - they felt safe enough to approach our jeep, even up to just 2 metres within reach! Lions took naps in the shade of our jeep and cheetahs watched us while falling in and out of their naps. We saw thousands upon thousands of zebras and wildebeests transiting in the Great Migration, hundreds of different gazelle species, pink flamingoes, so many giraffes, elephants, Cape buffalos and even hyenas! The lions were in their full glory, Our highlight was a showdown between a pride of lionesses (and 2 cubs) against the Cape buffalos for lunch! The lionesses were hungry! To top it off, we saw a lone lioness with 4 cubs on an afternoon walk!!

We had an 8 day safari at the National Parks of Arusha, Tarangire, Central and South Serengeti, followed by a getaway to Zanzibar Island. What we thought was a “once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience” is now a “we-will-be-back”!
