Wonderful trip with a lot to see in a very short time
5/5

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.

Awesome Experience
5/5

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

Deo Robert and Frank are where professionalism and perfectionism meet.
5/5

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.”
