We saw the big 5 and more! Amazing once in a lifetime experience, a must do tour! Unforgettable!
Wow what an experience with goldfish tours! I am now back in England after a 10 day trip to Tanzania in March 2022. I did 6 days in Zanzibar and then organised a last minute tour with goldfish tours for 4 days.
We did the 4 day, 3 night tour covering tarangire, the Serengeti and ngorogoro crater.
We saw the big 5 and much more with so many priceless memories and photos from our trip
As someone who has travelled around the world and done many tours this has instantly become the best tour and decision I ever made.
I have seen the salt flats in Bolivia, trekked machu pichu in Peru, seen ha long bay in Vietnam, visited lions head in South Africa but nothing compares to the Serengeti. It is a must see destination. I had done small safari in Sri Lanka and South Africa but this was sooo much better in every way
We was hesitant at first to book it as we was having a great time in Zanzibar but once we started the tour I had no regrets. It’s very good value for money as it includes 3 meals a day, all accommodation and entrance prices. Plus 2 guides , Mohammed and Steven
Mohammed and Steven run the company. They set it up 5 years ago. With this tour you get two tour guides, both with great experience and knowledge. They are young, kind and want to do everything to make sure you have a great time.
They picked us up from Arusha at 8.30am and the adventure started straight away. We headed to Tarangire and instantly saw elephants , giraffe , zebra and 2 cheetahs. We then headed to Karatu for a nights sleep.
Up early and heading towards the Serengeti we stopped at Ngorogoro rim for a quick view. The drive was amazing with an en route game seeing thousands of zebra and wildebeest on route.
As we entered the Serengeti we saw female and male lions, hyena, thousands of zebra, hundreds of giraffe and a few hippos.
We then did an evening sunset drive
We stayed at Shuhudia tented lodge and had a very large luxury tent right in the centre of the Serengeti. There was hot water and an excellent dinner. The tent was bigger than any hotel room I’ve stayed in , maybe 500 square foot.
Day 3- we did a 7am to 1pm 6hr game drive in the Serengeti seeing lots of variety of animals. We then had lunch and Steven headed out for another 2.5 hour evening drive around sunset. This was above what we expected and Steven managed to find us 3 different leopards.
The car comes with binoculars for everyone
We then had dinner and went to sleep early ready for our last day
Day 4 was our last day. 5am start to watch sunrise whilst heading from the Serengeti to ngorogoro crater. The early start paid off as we saw hippos outside of their mud pools, hyena running through the Serengeti and then a whole family of cheetah just 2 metres from our car.
The sunrise was stunning and the cheetahs were the highlight of the whole tour.
We reached ngorogoro crater on the hunt for the rhino. We was lucky enough to see 8 rhino during our drive and another male lion. We had lunch by the hippo lake pool with zebra just 10’metres from our car. We then made the long drive to kilmanjaro for our evening flight out.
The 4 day experience was amazing, the best tour I’ve ever done. Mohammed and Steven went above and beyond our expectations to provide us a memorable once in a lifetime experience.
We saw the big 5 and more
In total we saw 10 lions
3 leopards
50+ elephants
100+ water buffalo
8 rhino
7 cheetah
50+ hippos
5 crocodile
50+ giraffe
5 eagles
10,000+ zebras
10,000+ wildebeest
The car was comfortable, we had plugs and usb chargers to charge our phones and cameras, we had a fridge to keep our drinks cool
They had a speaker system to play music or you could play your own.
Steven would stop at any moment if we saw something we wanted to watch or take a photo off.
This tour is a must do, our only regret was not having an extra day to see even more of the crater.
Ngorogoro crater is amazing, reported as the 7th wonder of the natural world.

Tanzania safari and Mt Kilimanjaro trekking
We booked a Tanzania tour with Goldfish Tours, 7 days Mt Kilimanjaro trekking and 4days Safari at Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. It was really amaizing they give us a five star service from the time we reach at the Airport till the last day of our tour. Thanks much to all Goldfish Tours team we really appreciate.

The best tour company in Tanzania.
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I climbed the mountain for six nights and seven days, and it was arranged with Mohamed from Goldfish Tours(Please check their websites: https://www.goldfishtours.com/). I realized there are a lot of tour companies doing safari tours and mountain climbing in Tanzania, especially in Arusha and Moshi. I chose Goldfish Tours because first, I liked the name 'Goldfish.' It reminded me of a goldfish I had in my small jar from childhood. Second, I was comparing prices from many different tour companies, and I thought Goldfish Tours had a reasonable price for me compared to other companies. And third, even though Mohamed and I were in a business relationship, he approached me like a friend, not trying to talk about other things that could cost me additional money for climbing, etc. He was straightforward, simple, and friendly, making me comfortable asking him questions about the trip. I had a full day of resting after the climbing, and one of the things I enjoyed after climbing was that Mohamed showed me around the Moshi town area. I was planning to stay at the lodge, but I contacted Mohamed in the morning to ask whether he could show me around Moshi town, and without hesitance, he accepted my request and drove me around the city. He was a generous and kind-hearted person. There are many more things to mention about this trip to Tanzania because I genuinely had one of the most memorable times in my life. I want to visit again to Tanzania to meet wonderful people and arrange my trip with Goldfish Tours. Once again, please check out their websites: https://www.goldfishtours.com/

Extremely honest, reliable and helpful!
I chose Goldfish Tours without knowing them out of over 20 other agencies I contacted. Even before arriving in Tanzania, I was apprehensive about whether the company would actually be reliable and whether all the agreements paid would be fulfilled. The company not only proved to be reliable for me, but it positively surprised me every day. The staff is incredible! They are extremely professional and attentive. They welcomed me like a family. I definitely recommend them!

Amazing team
I had the most incredible safari experience with Goldfishtours in Tanzania! From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations and made my adventure in the wild truly unforgettable.
First and foremost, our guide was an absolute gem. Their knowledge and passion for the wildlife and landscapes of Tanzania were evident in every explanation they provided. Not only did they have a keen eye for spotting elusive animals, but they also shared fascinating insights into their behavior and habitats, enriching the entire safari experience.
Goldfishtours' attention to detail was impeccable. The accommodations they arranged were comfortable and nestled perfectly amidst the breathtaking scenery. Each day, we were greeted with warm hospitality and delicious local cuisine, which added an authentic touch to the journey.
Furthermore, the safari itinerary was well-balanced and allowed ample time to observe wildlife in their natural habitats. From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, every destination left me in awe of nature's wonders.
The organization and communication from Goldfishtours were spot-on. They took care of every aspect of the safari, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for us. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident throughout the trip.

Goldfish was thoughtful, detail-oriented and every staff member we interacted with genuinely cared.
We had a lot of questions for Goldfish Tours because we were planning a trip for 6 of us (4 children ages 5, 11, 13 and 18), and they were prompt and detail-oriented in their communication. Because of our youngest child and the number of us, we needed a budget-friendly trip. This meant we didn't stay in the most expensive places, but the places Goldfish chose for us were clean, accommodating and safe. Our safari with Ray was the highlight of the trip. He was amazing, and he became like family. We would go on safari with him again in a heartbeat. He ensured we saw the Big 5 twice along with so many other incredible creatures. He was willing to go the extra mile so we could see all we had dreamed of seeing.
