Dreamlike Unforgettable Safari Experience with Goldfinch Adventures
5/5

Introduction
“A safari is more than just an adventure – it’s a journey into unspoiled nature, where the sounds of the savannah and the roars of lions create a backdrop for unforgettable experiences. Amidst majestic landscapes and impressive wildlife, you find a unique connection to nature. Recently, we had the pleasure of going on safari with Goldfinch Adventures, and the experiences we had were simply extraordinary. From excellent advice to delicious meals and a dedicated guide – we want to share this incredible experience with you.”

Excellent Consultation
“The consultation we received from Goldfinch Adventures was outstanding. Particularly important is the expertise of a local, as only they know the best lodges, parks, and routes that make the safari experience unforgettable. Our advisor had not only alternatives at hand but also specific lodge suggestions in every park that perfectly matched our wishes. This personalized approach and in-depth knowledge of the region ensured that we made the most of our adventure.”

Culinary Delights
“We were also impressed by the excellent food and the wide selection of drinks available during the tour. Each meal was a delight, perfectly integrated into our safari experience, allowing us to refuel and enjoy the local cuisine while soaking in the beautiful surroundings.”

Outstanding Guide
“Our guide was not only incredibly friendly but also exceptionally knowledgeable. He always knew the best spots for animal sightings and had a keen sense of where we could see the famous Big Five. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and environment, we were able to witness unforgettable moments, including elephants, lions, rhinos, buffaloes, and leopards... in their natural habitat!”

Dreamy Lodges
“The lodges we stayed in were simply breathtaking. Each one offered a unique atmosphere and exceptional comfort, making our nights under the stars even more magical.”

Spacious Jeep
“The spacious jeep greatly enhanced our experience. It was comfortable and provided enough room for everyone, ensuring that we could all enjoy the stunning views without feeling cramped.”

24/7 Availability During the Safari
“We especially want to highlight the 24/7 availability of Goldfinch Adventures. Regardless of whether we had questions about the route or special requests, our contact person was always reachable and quick to assist us. This constant support gave us a sense of security and made the experience even more enjoyable.”

Conclusion
“A highlight of our safari was undoubtedly the opportunity to witness the great migration from Kenya to Tanzania up close. At the end of October, when animals move in massive herds across the Serengeti, the impressive dynamics of nature come to life. It was breathtaking to see the mighty wildebeest and zebra herds in motion and to witness the drama of predators on the hunt. These experiences will stay with us forever and confirm that a safari with Goldfinch Adventures is an absolute must for any nature and animal lover.”

Personalized and excellent experience
5/5

We had a great experience traveling with Goldfinch. They are a local agency and take care of their guests in a personalized way. They were very responsive and flexible in the run up to our tour. During our trip, our guide Sam took excellent care of us and gave it his all to show us the animals we hoped to see (and we did!). We can only recommend booking with Goldfinch.

Outstanding service, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide.
5/5

From start to finish we found Goldfinch Adventures to be helpful, friendly, thorough and thoughtful. Kelvin was great helping us book the tour we wanted. He gave honest opinions about what we should do & where we should go. The price was very competitive too.
Our tour guide Ludwig (Ludo) was brilliant! He navigated us around the Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater, safely and successfully. We saw the Big 5 and so much more! We were a small family of 3 and although it is part of the job description Ludo was warm and friendly. He had a good balance of giving us time to ourselves but also joining us for meals etc.

He gave us insight into life in the Serengeti and also Tanzania itself. We felt very at home in this wonderful country, where the people all seemed warm and friendly.

I will be recommending Goldfinch, Ludo, safaris and Tanzania to all friends and family.

Thanks to all - asante!

The Safari that won’t be forgotten
5/5

We recently went on our first private safari, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we were picked up from the hotel, everything was super well planned. Over two amazing days, we explored Tarangire and Ngorongoro with our fantastic guide, Ludo. His knowledge of wildlife made us feel safe and excited, and he was always on the lookout for interesting sights and animals.
We learned so much and felt well taken care of throughout the trip. Although we wished we could stay longer than two days, we are very grateful to have met Ludo. We highly recommend him and Goldfinch Adventures for an unforgettable safari experience and hope to see him again on our next adventure!

Absolutely Brilliant Service and Safari
5/5

We picked Goldfinch adventures from a list of safari operators who gave us quotes for our first safari. Deo from the beginning was patient and accommodating to our requests. Nothing was too much trouble and he was absolutely patient till we could finalise our plans and make the bookings.

Once we were in Tanzania he was at hand to help and coordinate with all the travel related elements as we went from Zanzibar to Serengeti. Deo had arranged all internal transport and flights making this element for us fairly stress free.

In Serengeti on landing at Seronera airstrip we were picked up by our Driver/guide Mr. Ludovick who was nothing short of excellent for all 5 days of our trip and made the safari a thorughly enjoyable experience.

I would highly recommend Deo and Team. A great 5 star service.

Very beautiful experience
5/5

We were in 4 and were picked up in Zanzibar to fly to Arusha for a 3 days safari including Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara national parks. Everything was very fine thanks to a very good organization. Many thanks to Robert, who remotely supported us, and Frankie, our guide during the safari. Highly recommended

Wonderful time with Goldfinch
5/5

We went into safari planning without any idea of how to select the right tour operator, and were fortunate to book our trip with Goldfinch Adventures. From the start, Deo was the most responsive out of the few tour companies we contacted. His personable and communicative style was very assuring especially since we were located halfway across the world. This was also a special trip for us and we were really spoiled by the choice of accomodations. They were all highly rated and made our safari experience so comfortable and luxurious.

Kudos to our driver and guide, Frank. Our short 5D/4N itinerary across three major parks meant long distances, occasionally on rough roads, and Frank kept us safe. He's a very skilled and careful driver, and knew the parks routes by heart. We saw so much wildlife including the Big 5, and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Goldfinch for a holiday we will never forget!

Deo is an excellent guy, we took care of everything you need for a safari tour in Tansania.
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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.
