Amazing Safari
5/5

Goldfinch Adventures made all the arrangements for our safari, and everything went smoothly. Our guide, James, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the animals and the area, and he was very patient with us. We were able to see all of the animals we wanted to see. Book with this company, you won’t regret it.

My First African Safari
5/5

I had a wonderful safari! Isaac showed me all the animals I wanted to see. I will never forget this experience. From the day I was picked up at the Tulia Boutique hotel to four days later, I had the best time of my life. Book your safaris with Goldfinch Adventures; you won’t regret it!

3 Perfect Safari Days
5/5

A stress-free experience. Breath-taking scenery of the Ngorongoro Crater ridge. Beautiful animals roam freely in the wild… zebras, lions, elephants, and a lot more! Perfect accommodations at a “more-than-fair” price! We’ll never forget this trip.

An unforgettable 4-day group safari
5/5

We went on a 4-day safari adventure with Goldfinch Adventures starting from Zanzibar, initially as a group of five friends. Our guide, Omari, picked us at the airport and introduced us to the safari world right away. Despite the troubles of camping in Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, where it rained on several nights, we were comfortable and well taken care of. Every meal, prepared by our very own chef Richard, was a delicious. Our friend recommended this great company to us and it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our lives. We would eagerly book with Goldfinch Adventures over and over again.

A truly once in a lifetime experience! Goldfinch Adventures - you are awesome!
5/5

I reached out to Robert Deo of Goldfinch Adventures earlier this year about arranging a 2 day 1 night safari in the middle of our trip to Zanzibar. We were a family of four, including myself, fiancé and her parent’s.

Roberts communication during the quotation phase was absolutely fantastic. He was open to tailoring the trip and accommodation style to suit our budget. Ahead of arriving in Tanzania, we received all information promptly, a thorough and detailed itinerary, internal flight tickets and drivers to pick us up and drop us off at the beginning and end of the safari.

The process could not have been smoother! Robert met us at the airport on arrival to give us a further overview of the itinerary which was really insightful.

Our guide, Frank, was awesome! Frank was very attentive throughout our two day safari. He ensured we were well looked after. He is extremely knowledgable and his vision was immense! Took us a while to spot the wildlife, but Frank was quick to point out lions stalking wildebeest and Rhinos in the distance. Both parks were incredible - but of the two Ngorongoro was the highlight! The pictures don’t do it justice.

We covered a lot of distance in two days - Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The jeep was very spacious and well stocked with cold drinks. Frank was an excellent driver and the time passed very quickly as we drove between the parks and lodge. We felt incredibly safe with Frank as our guide and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. The trip was extremely well executed - luxurious and provided us with a very intimate safari experience.

The accommodation, Manyaras secret was out of this world - if you have the opportunity- book it! The staff were extremely kind and well versed in ensuring their guests were well taken care of - particularly escorting you to and from the restaurant after dark (we could hear the hippos on the lake). Fantastic villas for families, a lovely pool and restaurant with a fire pit. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the stars with a nice glass of wine.

At the end of the trip we arrived at Arusha airport, Robert met us to say goodbye - and knowing how much we love coffee provided us with two bags of Kilimanjaro coffee beans - a great touch!

Thank you Robert and Frank for a truly once in a lifetime trip - we will be recommending Goldfinch to all of our friends coming to Tanzania in the future!

All the best,

Nick, Henrietta, Krish and Stephanie

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!

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

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.

perfect and well organized
5/5

My friends and I booked a hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro and Safari with Goldfinch Adventures. Best decision ever! We reached out to Deo during the planning phase and he was quick to reply to all the questions that we had. He even took us out for dinner the first day we arrived and that made us feel welcomed in a foreign country, far away from home.

KILIMANJARO
We hiked Kilimanjaro via the Machame route as Deo recommended. Our guides Steve and Ben were so patient and encouraging with us throughout the hike. It was physically and mentally challenging, but they made it enjoyable by making us laugh and checking our health. “Pole pole” they said. Word of advice? Stay hydrated, eat well, sleep, wear sunscreen, pee, and be prepared for any weather. Our porters were also awesome; we couldn’t have done it without them.

SAFARI
On the day of our safari, Deo met us in the morning and introduced us to our safari guide, Samuel. Samuel was very knowledgeable about the animals and the nature, and he always gave us plenty of time to stop for pictures.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five animals on our 4-day safari. The safari Jeep was comfortable, and the top popped open so we could get a better view. We even managed to squeeze in a nap sometimes!
I would highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable wildlife experience.
