Great experience
5/5

Thank you for this great experience with Golden Trips Tansania.Everything worked out exactly as we had imagined. Joel patiently answered all of our questions in advance. The choice of lodge was great and we would book with Golden Tanzania again at any time. Our guide Daniel was very nice and read our wishes regarding the safari from our eyes. He was the best guide you could ask for.

Very flexible, knowledgable, and capable of improvisation
5/5

It was a special tour in september 2021, because there was no fixed plan as is usually the case when you take a safari in Tanzania. It was at the end of the Covid restrictions and I decided to rent a car and driver instead of going by public transport. It was a mix of visiting people and holiday and the plan was changing from day to day. Samson was very capable of adapting himself to my ideas and give good advise. He arranged a hike into Empakaai Crater with the same ease as we did an excursion to Snake Park with six primary school kids. We also visited Lake Natron by car.
In fact it all went so well, that I convinced six people from my country to make a safari with Golden Trips and Samson this year (2023) in November I really trust everything will be fine, I will be there as well!

5/5

Samson was a remarkable tour guide. We felt blessed that we had him leading us on our 4 day adventure through Tanzania.. from safaris to hanging with tribes.. Samson became apart of our crew and made the trip very special. He was also extremely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING.. we are very curious travelers and he was a encyclopedia of information. Thank you Samson.

Samson was knowledgeable of the area, had great connections to amazing people. He’s amazing
5/5

Without Samson as my groups tour guide we wouldn’t have had nearly as fun a time as we did. He was knowledgeable of the area. He had great local connections that allowed us to meet very interesting people. He’s also a good luck charm on the safaris as we were one of the only groups in the entire Ngorogoro to have seen rhinos the day we went. He set us up in top-notch hotels and safe areas and always made sure that we were taken care of in all our needs. Would 10 out of 10 recommend Samson, I don’t think we would have had the memories we do. If it weren’t for him. He’s a true professional in his industry and passionate about what he does, and it shows in his work.

Samson Made the Trip
5/5

Our guide, Samson, grew up a local tribesman and knew all that there was to know about the entire country. It was captivating hearing him tell stories about how he grew up as a Maasai, living in the woods from 3 to 18 years old with his youth peers. So many stories and customs we were able to learn. We visited the last hunter gatherer tribe because he knew them. It was clear that without Samson we would not have had access to any of this, let alone even be able to learn about it. To top everything off, we saw a Rhino and 2 lions.
Samson is still our friend to this day.
The food and hotel stay was top notch. The service was seriously that of the best 5 star resort in Miami. They treat you like royalty for no reason. The hotel food is REAL FOOD, not like in America.
This was a life changing and perfect trip in all ways. Appreciation to Samson.

Drivers and representative done well, communication between operator and accommodation was 50/50
4/5

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!

Hi 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.

Samson is a good driver and attentive to clients needs
4/5

We went three days on a cultural tour to Hadzabe (nomadic hunters) and the blacksmith of Dagota near Lake Eyasi. Third day we visited Oldapai Gorge and the research after early human live. All the needed guides were organized and we got a good idea of the Hadzabe live. Samson did at beforehand interesting suggestions to get off the beaten track. Third day was so rainy we couldn’t go for the hike. So Samson improvised another geological visit to the moving dunes. If you want something special: go for Golden Trip safari
