A great introduction to Kenya and its wildlife
We had an 8 day safari tour taking in the Masai Mara, Lake Nokuru, Amboseli and Tsavo West. Our guide Thomas was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, a great driver, very adaptable to our requirements and a pleasure to be with. All the accomodation was great especially in the MM which had open access.

Want luxury, excitement, pampering and affordable, think South Africa, think Go Touch Down.
WOW! Go Touch Down scored a 10 with us. From the moment we booked our tour your office was wonderful answering questions and taking care of everything so we could enjoy a stress free trip. All the resorts we stayed at were absolutely 5* beautiful. James and Tony were wonderful guides and showed us the many wonders of South Africa and made us feel like family. Michael our safari guide showed us more than the BIG 5, it was more like 12+. The knowledge they shared was incredible and made the trip enjoyable and fun. The staff at Tshukudu were all wonderful, Dolly with her homemade gluten free bread and Rachel at Stillness Manor with her cheerful smile and so many others made this trip special. We thought this trip would check South Africa off the bucket list but Go Touch Down and all the wonderful people there have made us want to come back and see more. Thank you all for an unforgettable trip.

Awesome!
It was our first “real” Africa experience. That is why we opted for a tour with a guide. And that was such a great experience. You will be picked up. Drove everywhere. So you can enjoy yourself optimally. You feel safe and completely unburdened.
The accommodations were beautiful. Everything is perfectly arranged. The food is delicious! And then the country itself, the culture, the people and all the animals🤩 This is my most beautiful trip ever. And I have already seen a lot of the world. This 10 day tour has everything. It was very special to see the chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild.
We had a very nice guide who was a good driver and also told us a lot about his country. And also about all the animals we saw. Also thanks to him. He knew where to look and could also communicate with other guides on the savannah. To be able to spot even more. And we also thought the price for this trip was very important. We got a lot for our money. All meals and water included, all accommodations, the entrances to the parks, the Permits for the chimpanzee trekking and the gorilla trekking. Eddy our driver, guide and very nice, sweet young man. The car, the diesel costs. Everything all inclusive. I can recommend it to everyone!

a friend from Tanzania
I did A food tool with korongo expeditions and experience With Brighton It's a memory that we lost forever. From picking us up at 4 point by sheraton Driving to his secret spot in Arusha for the food tour. Brighton was so friendly and provided us with all the interesting information about arusha and the locals, at the spot everything was already prepared hense saying that he was so good with the arrangements. I even had a quick cooking class where i was able to cook my own goat and to my suprise it was so good. After the hood meat he even suprised me with some local beers which safari was my favourite after the tour he even gave me a bonus of a night tour in arusha which was one of the best thing of the day we meet locals dance with them grab drinks, Brighton was soo frienly that i think every one likes him at all the places we went. My view is if you are in arusha you should check out their tour and the experience will leave you with lasting memories

Wonderful experience
Very courteous, trustworthy and kind operators. Good and easy communication. The price for value was excellent. We had a very good trip with delicious meals (which were costumized to our specific needs/taste). Our guide was experienced and we saw a lot of wildlife and just stunning landscapes, especially in Serengeti. 100% Recommended!

Great safari from start to finish
The operator was very reliable and punctual, everything went smooth and as discussed. It was really nice to just lay back and enjoy this well planned trip. As requested we were served vegan food, and I was surprised how delicious is was. The chef that travelled with us cooked fresh food for us every day. The safari itself in the Serengeti was better than expected because the guide always was ready to go an extra mile to find the lions, cheetahs etc. For us to see. We did 3 days ngorongoro+Serengeti and were quite tired afterwords, but satisfied, we saw everything we wanted in the shortest period. Next time I think I would do maybe one more day in the Serengeti to have more time there.

Absolutely perfect for the job
I recently explored Materuni Waterfalls with Korongo Expeditions, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The trek through lush greenery and coffee plantations was enchanting, guided by friendly staff sharing fascinating stories. Arriving at the majestic waterfall was awe-inspiring, with Korongo ensuring our safety and comfort every step of the way. If you're planning a Tanzanian safari, don't miss out on this incredible experience with Korongo Expeditions.

Fantastic
I absolutely loved my experience with this company. Our tour guide was Humphre, and I truly believe that he was one of the reasons that our trip was as amazing as it was. He was welcoming, friendly, and so great at what he does. Thanks to him, we were able to get up close and personal with the wildlife while out on safari, while maintaining a safe and respectful distance. Korongo was reliable, communicative, and made sure that we had resources we might need while out in the bush for long periods of time. Our time spent in Africa was the trip of a lifetime, and I would absolutely come back and tour again with Korongo.

Superb operator and excellent guides with humble fun attitudes.
The trip was arrange via WhatsApp with direct contact to Mr Moses. The staff picked us at the airport, to the lovely comfort hotel, before the dinner we went over the climbing trip plan which was on the following day. We were 3 adventurous friends (@camphike4ever) and Mr Moses provided us around 12 individuals to help with the gears and camping accessories and 2 Wounderful humble guides. Climbing was beautiful scenery over the 6 days. We achieved our goal and climbed Kilimanjaro mountain. We strongly recommend for any one would like to climb the mountain to join Mr Moses and his crew.

PERFECT safari with Goldfinch Adventure!
Because we just wanted to go on a short safari (only two days with one overnight stay), Goldfinch Adventures made an individual offer for us. We discussed our wishes in advance (length of stay, transfer, desire for a small and individual lodge, etc.).
We received a detailed offer that immediately convinced us. Until the start of our trip, Goldfinch Adventures was always available for answering our questions. The journey (transfer from our hotel in Paje and flight to Arusha) went smoothly (small tip: choose a seat on the right side of the plane for a beautiful view of Mount Kilimanjaro). In Arusha we were warmly welcomed by our contact person Deo and our driver Omari and we started our safari experience with an extremely good feeling. Omari was the perfect companion for us, he has an extremely good eye and discovered the animals much earlier than we did, approached the animals in a respectful manner and we received a lot of information about the wildlife and the surrounding area. On the first day we stopped in Tarangire National Park around midday and had a great, warm local lunch with drinks (nicely set with a tablecloth etc.). Deo had chosen a perfect lodge for us: small, right on Lake Manyara, high-quality - an absolute dream with great food! Our second day took us to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with the Ngorongoro Crater. Another very special experience with Omari at our side. We saw all animals we dreamed of - even a rhinoceros. We were able to get very close to many animals.
When it was time to say goodbye to Omari at the airport, we met Deo again, who helped with check-in and accompanied us till security check.
I can highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures. Planning, safari experience and - not to forget - the people working at this company are simply fantastic!
