Unforgettable experience
We are so happy that we chose Golden Trips Tanzania to arrange our 16 days tour with visit to a lot of wonderful places. From the beginning Joel was very understandable of how we wanted our trip to be, and with a lot of patience, he arranged it to perfection.
We have had Ombeni as our tour guide, and he met our expectations much more than we could ever dream of. Ombeni knows everything about plants and animals, and he was very good at sharing his incredible knowledge with us – he also told us a lot of things related to society and culture.
Ombeni is a careful driver, kind to everybody we met on our way, always smiling, and he has a very good feeling and understanding of where and when to find the best views.
We could not have got a better guide – Ombeni is really a nice person.

Amazing 5 days Safari
Our trip with Golden Trips Tanzania, specifically with our guide Ombeni, was truly spectacular. Our journeys took us through Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and with our final stop in Ndutu (also part of Ngorogoro). A lot of driving, but with so many unique, beautiful animals, and such incredible scenery, it was never on our mind. It also helped having Ombeni as our guide, who was not only a genuinely nice person and a great host but a skilled driver.. the lodges/camps that were booked for us were great, with accommodations and food that never disappointed. This was a special trip for us, and Golden Trips TZ made that possible. Seems like there a lot of options for guides/operators.. Can’t speak for the others but if we go back at some point we’ll go through this company again.

Top-tier experience for a very reasonable price
Samson was very accommodating when planning our safari. We were not entirely sure what we wanted to do and he worked with us to plan the perfect safari. He gave us a couple of different quotes and explained the difference between them well. He was also able to book us a hot-air balloon ride (which I highly recommend) and accommodations before and after the safari.
Our final itinerary was 5 days. 1 day in Ngorongoro crater, 2 days in Ndutu, and 2 days in Serengeti. As a local company, they have all of the best connections and do not have the huge markup you see with quotes from Western companies. I had a family friend who did a 3/4 day safari through a western company and they paid nearly triple what we paid and received the same experience.
Our driver guide Emmanuel was extremely knowledgable about all of the areas and animals. Over the course of 5 days we were able to see everything multiple times except for a leopard. Leopards can be quite difficult to find though as they spend most of their lives hiding in the trees. Emmanuel knew exactly where to go to find specific animals and had a wealth of information about each animal.
The accommodations were very nice in both Ndutu and Serengeti. Nice tents with hardwood floor, large bed, furniture, in-suite toilets and showers, etc.
I was very satisfied with the experience and would definitely recommend Golden Trips to anybody.

3-day safari to Nyerere National Park
We booked the 3-day safari to Nyerere National Park. We started our safari from Dar es Salaam and drove to national park on first day. Drive to national park was about 200km but was very time-consuming because of the road conditions (it had been rainy days before). Once we arrived to our accommodation we had a little break and after that dinner (all meals tasted good and had vegetarian option). On second day we had car safari in national park and after that boat safari. We saw crocodiles, zebras, hippos, wildebeests, buffaloes, hyenas, giraffes and many colourful birds. Because we had a group of 15 people we had three cars with pop-up roof (every car had 7 seats + driver seat). Third day was a drive back to Dar es Salaam. The drivers were especially eager and knowledgeable: throughout the safari and the road, they noticed animals and birds and explained their sex, lifestyle, diet, etc. Our driver name was Silas who was very friendly and smart (it was obvious that he himself has a deep interest in the animal kingdom). If you book the safari through Golden rips Tanzania I would really recommend asking for Silas to be your driver:) Also read the itinerary thoroughly: some safaris start from different locations also visit their website for more information. The communication with the company was also very fast and pleasant.
Thank you Golden Trips Tanzania!

Drivers and representative done well, communication between operator and accommodation was 50/50
Our trip started from Dar es Salaam to Nyerere national park.
Normally rain season starts end of February, not first week of February. Due to earlier heavy rains the road condition was bad.
You can say we started with a off road trip. It did ask a lot of our drivers and cars, thanks to their skills we got trough. Blocked roads, broken bridges, they passed it all. Even in the park the roads were partly flooded.
The knowledge of the team (drivers and representative of the operator) was huge, we are thankful for sharing this with us!
Due to the high water level it was hard to find the wild animals, but they succeed quite well.
Concerning the accommodation, our group booked all rooms with air condition. Seems only one room was reserved for us with air condition the other four were only with ventilator. Some communication issues between operator and accommodation owner.
Over all we had a great experience, our trip and safari!

Posted on Feb 12, 2024Hi Hans
We truly apricated you book your safari with us, We are always committed to customer satisfaction, We were very sorry for bad roads and the rooms with no AC as we promised it before, As you may have seen how it rained there, big part of the lodge facilities were destructed by floods, the rooms with AC were partly flooded so the only option was to arrange you to the rooms with only ventilations, they had to stop receiving new bookings for renovations.
The pictures are amazing :)
Thankfully you had a good experience with us.

Golden Trips provides excellent service, highly recommend
I had two trips with Golden Trips, both of them excellent.
First we went on a day trip to the Kondoa Rock Paintings with Emanuel and Joel. The Paintings are beautiful and Emanuel showed some of the best driving skills i have ever seen under very difficult circumstances.
Second time i went on a 3 day safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara with Golden Trips. I had a great tour that i highly recommend. Samson was very quick to respond to my inquiry, he made sure to tailor his offer to all my requests and was very flexible to adjust along the way as circumstances developed. The communication was easy and efficient. This is a local company that does an excellent job, knows all the parks really well and offers a great value for money. They are reliable, flexible, friendly and professional, and offer great service. I highly recommend organizing your trip with Golden Trips.

I highly recommend Golden Trips Tanzania
I booked 2 days Datoga & Hadza cultural tour with Golden Trips and I didn't regret it.
My guide Sam accomodated all my wishes and needs. Sam and the guide for Datoga & Hadza tribes are very knowledgeable and customer oriented. I learned a lot of interesting facts about the tribes, their culture and their way of living. It was both informative and fun!
Sam went an extra mile for me by helping me sort out some problems with my flight booking and making sure I make it on time to the airport, this is highly appreciated! I felt always well taken care of. Can recommend this company to everyone.

Amazing experience
We went on safari with Golden Trips Tanzania for 3 days on “Budget Camping”. We chose to visit the following national parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Manyara. It was an incredible experience!
Reservation: we went through the “Safari Bookings” site. Within a few hours we had a response from Golden Trips via WhatsApp. Communications were made easily. The payment process was done easily and according to our preferences.
Staff/service: they were very professional and available for any questions or comments during the entire process. They came to meet us before and after our safari to answer our questions and listen to our feedback. This allowed us to leave without stress.
Price: we couldn't have found it more affordable! Initially, we were afraid of not being able to go on safari because the prices were too high. Everything was included in the price (park entrances, guide, 4x4, gasoline, overnight stay, meals, water). Super good value for money! Don't hesitate to scroll through the different options on "Safari Bookings" to find what suits you.
Safari: the experience was INCREDIBLE! Given the proximity of the 3 parks we did, the trips weren't too long and allowed us to spend more time in the parks. The 3 parks are very different and offer you a different experience. The guide was very professional. Normally, in this type of safari, there are a maximum of 6 travelers per 4x4. There was just 1 day when we were 7 and communications with the guide were more difficult because we were seated at the back and could hear the information less well. But it's just a detail.
Camping/nights: the only point on which we really have anything to complain about. The site was super pretty and quiet. We had a good nights sleep. By paying only the "Camping Budget", we knew that we were not going to come across a luxury campsite and therefore some problems with water and cleanliness...
Atmosphere: this type of safari allows you to meet lots of people. It was super enjoyable and even solo the experience must be great.
Thank you to Golden Trips Tanzania for this unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to any traveler!!!
