Perfectly organized, most friendly staff
5/5

Steve was a great guide and driver. He not only thought us so many things about the animals but also about Tanzania’s culture, politics and its people. Although the drive to and from Serengeti was very long, dusty and bumpy we enjoyed chatting with Steve throughout. Our chef Samson prepared the most delicious meals for us. Would highly recommend it!

Well organised and met all our expectations!
5/5

Plex Africa Safaris was recommended to us on our first day in Zanzibar by a group of girls who recently did a day-safari to Mikumi NP. Shortly after I reached out to Plex on WhatsApp and it was all smooth, we booked and were ready to go! Our experience was excellent, the communication was clear and it was all as expected. We were picked up from Stone Town and were overall very happy with the arrangement of the logistics. We were lucky enough to see all the animals we were hoping to see, lions included!!! Our guide Amani, together with the jeep driver Julius were excellent in explaining everything to us and answering all our (my) questions. They accomodated all the explanations twice for the French guests. Starboy also took good care of us during drop off! Highly recommend!

4/5

Melita made sure we saw a great variety of animals on our first day of safari in the Serengeti. He is an excellent driver and manages to get to the best spots very quickly, especially considering how bumpy the roads can be!

The public campsite in the Serengeti where we stayed did not have hot water and was not particularly clean, but it was good enough to wash off all the sand and dust after the day.

The tents provided by Suricata Safaris were spacious and very comfortable, and our chef prepared delicious lunch, dinner and breakfast.

Overall, we are very satisfied with our first day with Suricata Safaris and are looking forward to the rest of the safari!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Goldfinch Adventures! ★★★★★
5/5


We booked a 6-day, 5-night safari with Goldfinch Adventures in August 2026, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, and it completely exceeded all our expectations.

​From the initial planning stage, Issa was fantastic. He handled every single detail and logistical arrangement seamlessly, making the entire process smooth and completely stress-free. To top off his incredible hospitality, Issa even gave us a thoughtful surprise gift when we departed—a wonderful personal touch that showed just how much he cares about his guests.

​A massive, heartfelt shoutout goes to our guide, Lazaro, who was with us for the entire 6 days. Lazaro’s sharp tracking eyes, deep knowledge of wildlife, and sheer dedication made our trip extraordinary. Thanks to him, we successfully spotted the entire Big Five! The absolute highlight came on our final day: an unbelievable sighting of 9 rhinos, an incredibly rare and unforgettable moment that we will cherish forever.

​If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, look no further. We highly recommend Issa, Lazaro, and the entire team at Goldfinch Adventures for an authentic, flawlessly organized, and truly memorable safari holiday!

Trip of a lifetime
5/5


We did a 7-day safari covering Samburu, Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, and John was our guide throughout the trip. He gave us an exceptional experience that we will remember for a lifetime.

We saw several animals right after entering Samburu, and John was incredibly patient and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. This was our first safari, and we saw an incredible variety of wildlife in Samburu. Having John as our guide meant that we are now completely hooked on safaris for life!

Next, we visited Nakuru, which was a completely different experience. Once again, John knew precisely where to go to find the best animal sightings. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife, and it was clear that he knew the terrain very well.

Finally, we arrived in the Masai Mara, where we spent three nights and went on several very long safari drives. John delivered again, and we were fortunate enough to witness a migration crossing. We also discovered a few lions ourselves, which was fantastic!

John seemed to know all the other guides, understood the terrain extremely well, and was constantly listening to the radio for leads on interesting sightings. He always seemed to know where to go next to find something memorable. He never rushed us and never thought twice about driving long distances if it meant getting us to a great sighting.

Beyond wildlife, John was also very knowledgeable and passionate about the local culture and traditions. Hours of driving went by effortlessly as we chatted about all sorts of topics. He was not just a great guide, but also wonderful company throughout the seven days.

All in all, this was our first safari experience, and it was an intense and unforgettable one. We are now hooked for life and have developed a completely new appreciation for Kenya, its wildlife, people, and culture.

The central character in this story was John, who made an already incredible experience so much better. We feel very lucky to have had him as our guide.

For Samburu and Nakuru, we stayed at Sopa Lodges, which were exceptional experiences as well.

Jocky Tours is also a great company. Moses was our contact throughout the booking process, and he was extremely responsive and helpful. He provided quick and transparent information, replied promptly to all our emails, and patiently answered all of our questions. We felt well informed throughout the planning process.

They also gave us the best rates, and the itinerary and driver they provided were very good as well. The only small issue was that we were asked to pay an additional 5% to cover card fees, which we had not been told about in advance.

However, this did not take away from the overall experience, and we would highly recommend Jocky Tours. We would happily give them five stars.

5/5

Huge thanks to David Mukami for an unforgettable experience in the Masai Mara! David is truly an elite guide—his sharp eyes for spotting wildlife, deep knowledge of the bush, and absolute respect for nature made our safari magical. He managed to track down incredible sightings while always keeping us safe and comfortable. Beyond his exceptional skills, his warmth, patience, and great sense of humor made every game drive a pleasure. Asante sana, David! If you're visiting Masai Mara, David is the guide you want by your side.

Excellent performance in planning, executing and support! Highly recommended!
5/5

We have very good experience with EET in helping us to plan our trip to Ethiopia, organizing all local logistics, guides, accommodation etc. and being available, in case problems had occurred.
We have been in Addis Abeba, Lalibela, Gondar, Semien N.P., the Danakil area, Omo valley, Harar...
All went smoothely!
Tsehaynew was always available to help or giving advice!

We can highly recommend EET, if you plan a trip to Ethiopia!

Incredible tour!
5/5

We didn’t know what to expect from the tour, but what we experienced was way more incredible than what we expected! We were able to see all of the big five, many birds and many other animals. Our guide David was extremely good at being at the best place at the right time. The parks we saw during the tour were really different and beautiful in many different ways. Thank you Pavillion Safaris for making our dreams come true!
