Professional, Extremely Helpful and Make the process so easy and clear!
5/5

Safari Goats was FANTASTIC! A truly very genuine and decent company who go the extra mile to make things special! Booking a safari can be quite a complex task with all the different paperwork, transportation and hotels! Safari Goats make it as easy as tying your shoe laces! I cannot thank them enough for making my honeymoon safari so special! Amina who I dealt with in the office was fantastic and tailor made me a brilliant package and at an extremely good price! Said my driver was a great person to spend a few days with and very knowledgable and knew all the best routes! Safari goats was recommended to me by another person who highly recommended them and I can see why! Fantastic company, extremely professional, helpful and organise a fantastic safari! The communication was fast and always kept me in the loop so always kept me at ease! Will absolutely use them again and definitely recommend to others!

**SafariGOATS: An Unforgettable Safari Experience**

We just returned from an incredible 7-day safari adventure with SafariGOATS, and it exceeded all our expectations! Our journey started in Tarangire Park, moved through the vast Serengeti to witness the breathtaking wildebeest migration, and concluded in the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. Every moment was perfectly planned, and the luxury camps we stayed at each night were beyond comfortable, offering a true taste of the wild with all the comforts of home.

A huge thank you to our guide, Frank, who truly made this trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was unmatched, and his enthusiasm was infectious. Thanks to him, we had the privilege of witnessing incredible wildlife encounters, including cheetahs, majestic lions, and the grand finale—a sighting of the rare black rhino in Ngorongoro Crater!

To top it all off, we ended our adventure with three relaxing days in Zanzibar, where we enjoyed stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and rich cultural experiences. The perfect way to unwind after our safari journey.

Every detail of the safari was meticulously organized, from seamless transfers to delicious meals, making it a stress-free and deeply enjoyable experience. SafariGOATS and Frank made this an adventure of a lifetime, and we can’t wait to book our next trip with them. Highly recommended!

A trip marred with creases in the beginning, smoothened by the Greatest of All Times!
5/5

What do you expect from a good tour operator???

Being from India, we are used to everyday hustle and glitches in almost everything we do. But this time, it was different. Our trip started with a major glitch. Our first flight from Mumbai (Kenya Airways) got delayed, which caused a missed connection of two subsequent flights. It put our whole tour plan in jeopardy. We were about to lose hundreds of thousands of Rupees and a highly anticipated trip to African safari.

What do you expect from a good tour operator???
A good support when needed, when you are on altogether different lands.

What do you expect from a great tour operator???
An extended, humble, prompt, extremely well-coordinated support when your highly anticipated tour is about to face cancellation due to no one's fault.

That's what exactly Safari GOATS did. Their extremely well-timed and well-coordinated support, both emotional and logistical, proved to be monumental during our visit. Hamisi, our sales contact coordinated extremely well with his contacts in Kenya to transport us from Nairobi to Arusha by land transport in a timely and comfortable manner, when the Airline failed to provide a reasonable connection in time. Without Hamisi, we believe our tour would've perished at the start itself! Due to a great team effort from Safari GOATS, we not only reached Arusha in time, but also had an absolutely incredible, humbling, raw yet luxurious tour experience throughout our stay of 6 days!
When Eddie, the company owner, received us at Arusha, his smiling welcome made us forget the fatigue. We'll always remember his words, "Nature gives you what you deserve, NOT what you want". And guess what, apparently we deserved the BIG5 on day 1!
Adam was our tour guide cum driver and his knowledge of wildlife and safari routes was impeccable. We don't remember a single instance when we threw a question at Adam and he was unable to answer it. He always had answers, always! That too in great detail. He was always smiling, accommodating, and comforting. He never hushed the trip. We had a kid with us and Adam had become his good friend! :D
Seriously Eddie, you have assembled a great bunch of enthusiastic people to run your company. Hope you read this review. You indeed deserve a good review and great growth ahead.
Hope to see you again. I'll certainly visit Tanzania again in my lifetime. Hope it still remains as accommodating, raw and comforting as it is now!

Sharp instincts, informative and affable
5/5

We recently returned from an unforgettable safari in the Serengeti, and what truly made our experience exceptional was the expertly organization by our tour operator (Safari Goats) and our tour guide (Said).

From the moment we began planning our trip, Safari Goats impressed us with their professionalism and attention to detail. The itinerary they designed was nothing short of perfect, allowing us to experience the Serengeti, Lake Natron, and the Ngorongoro Crater in a way that felt both comprehensive and personalized. Every aspect of the trip was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring that we made the most of our time in Tanzania.

Said’s expertise was apparent every step of the way. Whether it was spotting a leopard camouflaged in shrubs or predicting the movements of a lion pride with astonishing accuracy, Said’s ability to read the landscape and anticipate animal behavior was nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to his sharp eyes and keen instincts, we witnessed some of the most thrilling wildlife encounters imaginable. One of the most unforgettable moments was when Said led us to a secluded spot where we were so fortunate to capture great photography of mating lions who were basking in the sunshine on some beautifully formed rocks.

Said’s commentary, filled with fascinating facts and stories, added layers of depth to the experience, making it not just a sight to behold, but a lesson in the intricate social dynamics of these majestic creatures.

Our adventure didn’t stop in the Serengeti. Thanks to the well-crafted itinerary by Safari Goats, we also had the incredible opportunity to visit Lake Natron, one of Tanzania’s most unique and striking landscapes. The lake’s otherworldly beauty, with its stark red waters and dramatic backdrop of the Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano, left us speechless. Said shared with us the fascinating story of Lake Natron’s high alkalinity and its role as a breeding ground for the lesser flamingos. Standing by the shores of this eerie, yet stunningly beautiful lake, we watched thousands of flamingos take flight—a surreal and magical experience that will stay with us forever.

Another highlight of our trip was the day Said guided us through the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” The itinerary had been designed to ensure we experienced this natural marvel to its fullest. As we descended into the crater, we were greeted by one of the most breathtaking vistas we’ve ever seen—a lush, green oasis teeming with wildlife, encircled by towering crater walls. Said’s knowledge of the crater’s unique ecosystem made the experience even more enriching. We were fortunate enough to spot pretty much all of the native animals many of which are amongst the most endangered animals in the world, and Said explained the ongoing conservation efforts to protect all the majestic creatures.

What set Said apart was his genuine enthusiasm, sense of humour and affability. His joy was contagious—whether we were watching the Great Migration unfold before our eyes, exploring the surreal landscapes of Lake Natron, or marveling at the wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater, Said made every moment feel special.

Safari Goats, the company Said represents, truly exceeded our expectations. Their meticulous planning and well-thought-out itinerary ensured that we experienced the best of Tanzania without any stress. Every detail of our trip, from the luxurious tented camps to the delicious meals that awaited us after a day of adventure, was thoughtfully arranged. It’s clear that Safari Goats is dedicated to providing top-notch experiences for their guests.

If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Said and Safari Goats highly enough. They turned our dream of an African adventure into a reality, and we will forever be grateful.

Epic Rewilding Experience
5/5

We just got back from an epic experience of a lifetime in Tanzania with Safari GOATs! Our most heartfelt thanks 🙏🙏🙏 goes to Eddy, who captained us from the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater, across the vast Serengeti plains and back! We didn’t only get up close and personal with the BIG 5 (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino), but also witnessed a Wildebeest river crossing – with crocs in waiting no less!

As our guide, Eddy was reliable, resourceful and totally trustworthy over the course of our 12-day trip. But he was so much more! His cool, good-natured demeanor gave our journey a personal dimension that would not have been the same otherwise. Through his humorous storytelling we learned a great deal about life in Tanzania while sharing many laughs together!

Overall, our holiday in Tanzania exceeded all expectations! Our sincere gratitude goes to Eddy and Safari GOATs for planning our journey: from the terrific value-for-money selection of camps and lodges to accommodating our last-minute wishes and caffeine binges! Btw, any initial reservations we had about the food were completely unfounded—it was excellent! (Tip: If looking for a special nightout, check out the Lilac Oasis in Keratu on the road from Lake Manyara to Ngorongoro.)

Eddy had told us, "Nature gives you what you deserve, not what you want," as he took us on an incredible journey of rewilding. Still, the experience has left us truly wanting more, with the memories of the stunning scenery, fascinating peoples, and diverse wildlife still lingering in our minds.

Safari GOATs are the consummate professionals.
5/5

On a recommendation from a friend we arranged our Mt Meru trek through Safari GOATs. Safari GOATs were quick to respond to all of our questions and every detail of our itinerary.

Mt. Meru was the hardest climb we’ve ever done, and we could not have done it without our head guide Amir. He prepared us for each day, made sure we were fed (even when we lost our appetites due to the high altitude), and he was with us every step of the way. He even taught my wife how to ‘monkey climb’ while bouldering in the dark of summit night. By the end of our trek, he became a friend.

Sayid was our chef and summit night guide. Every engine needs fuel, and we were so glad to have Sayid feeding ours. His soups were just the best. Fried chicken, delicious soups, and other lovely flavors greeted us at each meal. During our summit night my wife said ‘he saved me from falling’!

We could not have completed this challenge without our guides, porters, and Safari Goats! We highly recommend Safari GOATS and Amir and his crew. Mt. Meru was the highlight of our Tanzania vacation.

Very friendly, trustworthy and humorous!
5/5

I had a great time and we saw all the animals we wanted to see. Everybody was very welcoming and friendly! The tour itself was very nice and we were also able to sleep a lot of the way. The jeep was comfortable and there were many pockets to put your stuff in. The jeep did get very dusty and dirty after a drive along the safari roads, but that was to be expected. Our guide was very reliable, although he was sometimes a bit late! Nonetheless the trip was great and I truly enjoyed it. It was probably the best experience of my life. I strongly recommend Safari G.O.A.T.S to anybody who would like to visit Tanzania.

Excellent Value, Great People, Great Safari Experience
5/5

Citizens from the U.S
Good information to know before going
We decided to fly into Kenya (Nairobi) as flights were cheaper. The Kenyan ETA (Visa) needs to be completed before you arrive ($37usd). Once transfered to Tanzania you will have to pay the Tanzania Visa which is $100 USD pp. Only for US citizens is the Visa $100 USD rather than $50 for everyone else. We thought that was just fantastic (not at all).

The Safari - My girlfriend and I had a great experience with Safari Goats. They helped create a custom plan for us as we wanted to visit certain locations. Our guide Saidy was great! Very helpful, friendly, informative, and knew all the good locations where we could view the animals. 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 wanted. We are thankful they helped create a once in a lifetime experience for us.
My girlfriend and I were very happy with a private safari, and not grouped with other people. This was great because we had more flexibility and space in the jeep which allowed us to move around and get the best angles to view the animals and to also stretch out and relax on the long rides. This also created a feeling that we were on an adventure rather than just being a tourist. Other people out on safaris were looking at us with envy because we had so much space and a nicer vehicle.
The accommodations and food were good. The tent camps were nice and the staff was very friendly. The only issue we had with one of the tent sites (Moyo) was that the water was delivered late for two days. The water arriving late made things uncomfortable as we had to sit and wait while being dirty from the day out on the safari and could not flush the toilet. Overall, the camp sites provided a good mixture of comfort and adventure. Incredible experience with Safari Goats. I would definitely recommend Safari Goat’s to anyone not looking for the standard tourist experience.

Its was a good experie
5/5

We are very grateful to have our first experience in Africa with the Safari GOAT company. They are a reliable, responsible company and very attentive to their clients. We spent two weeks with our guide Frank. He is a guide with a lot of experience, extensive knowledge of animals, culture and history. Thanks to him we saw many animals, he was very respectful, kind and we felt safe. If a problem arose, he solved it. Someone who can solve problems is very important to be able to continue with the day's activities. Eddie and the Safari GOAT team in their offices were always attentive to our calls, changes or requests in our program. The places or stays that they offer as an option were all beautiful, comfortable places with good service. So we recommend this company.
