Knowledgeable, reliable and very friendly
We did a three day tour to Lake Eyasi and the Ngorongoro highlands. It wasn't really directed at seeing wildlife but mainly directed at experiencing the life of Datoga and the Hadzabe people in the Lake Eyasi area. Besides that we also visited Olduvai Gorge and the museum about all the archeological and geographic research in this area. Fascinating. Due to very bad weather we couldn't visit Laetoli, where the actual footsteps are discovered but an improvised visit to the shifting sands made up for that. Sam is a good driver and everything was very well organised.

Tarangire Nationalpark day trip
We enjoyed a amazing tour with Golden Trips Tanzania and managed to see a lot of animals in the Tarangire Nationalpark. The communication beforehand and afterwards was professional and reliable. Tour guide Allan is a lovely person with lots of knowledge, an interesting life story, and wonderfully patient driving skills. It couldn’t have been any better. We can highly recommend this trip to other travellers.

Excellent, professional, and nice.
The 4-day hiking tour in the Usambara mountains was absolutely amazing. Summing up our whole Tanzanian trip, this hike was the absolute highlight. We walked in wild nature, cultivated fields, and through villages. People were so friendly. A great way to get a broader picture of the countryside of Tanzania. Our guide, Kibwana, guided us in an excellent way through this hike. He taught us so much about plants, fruits and animals as we walked along. He is also outstanding when in comes to spotting chameleons. We saw so many of them. Unexpected things are bound to happen when you take a hike like this. Kibwana is then extraordinarily good at solving everything. We are very pleased to have had Kibwana with us during this hike. He is absolutely great.

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
