perfectly recomendable
I did the Lemosho Route in 8 days and everything worked out perfectly with Ladi as a guide. No problem whatsoever.
I booked directly through the internet with Almighty and got all the necessary information almost immediately.
Pick up from the airport and the first night in Moshi where a good start of what was yet to come.
Lemosho turned out to be a beautiful hike and I was glad, I had chosen it.
Even so I had booked group tour, I was the only one with Ladi as my excellent guide, Joachim the cook, who did a great job and four porters.
All were most helpful. Being alone with my guide turned out to be ideal, because we were free to go at our preferred speed and itinerary.
We made the summit with no problem at all, but it was very cold and it advisable to bring enough layers. Base layer Marino was perfect for me.
Only my hands were cold..... All in all a great experience with my new African rafiki (friends).
It was a bit of an risk to book directly in Tansania and not go through a Swiss travel agency but everything worked Hakuna Matata.

Amazing Steve, wonderful service and safari. Highly recommend
I would like to leave a review on my safari with Steve
16-17 Feb 25.
Went as a couple with a child to see the animals.
I chose who to go on safari with on tripadvisor based on reviews and ratings. Steve had one of the best ratings and the warmest reviews on it.
This is the complete truth! I was very satisfied with the experience.
He was very attentive caring, talked a lot( excellent English), we found with him more than a hundred elephants( stunning red elephants of the eastern CAVO), a herd of giraffes, dikdiks, hippos, lions, zebras, buffalo one was, many birds.
He has a safari vehicle a bit simpler than jeeps in classic form, but all comfortable with open roof, good driver etc.
Also he helped choose a lodge and booked it for us even made sure the room had a nice view.
Very punctual ( pick up from the villa, from the park and also pick up at the airport instead of a taxi) all perfectly on time, helped with luggage.
He is a lovely warm person who really loves his job. I gladly recommend everyone to contact him.
And of course he was great and fun to be around with my son - which is a special treat.
If you want a great safari full of animals and care - definitely go to him☺️

Determined to deliver the best experience for his clients!
Kelvin with Goldfinch Adventures went well above and beyond to make sure that our Safari experience was nothing short of amazing! His initial response to a fairly short time framed request was quick yet very thorough. We changed our requested dates and he had a new itinerary over to us within a few hours. From the time we were picked up at our door, flights, accommodations, and attention to detail were top notch! Kelvin and Brenda handed us over to our guide Issac and from the very beginning we could tell we were in great hands. Issac was knowledgeable and fully engaged with us the entire time, and made sure we not only enjoyed the Safari but the culture and nuances of a country far from our home in the United States. Our accommodations were amazing and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner and morning breakfast with Issac, whom never tired of my never ending questions about life in Tanzania. The Safari itself was incredible, and Issac knew so much about the history of the land, the animals and the people of the region. Truly a once in a lifetime experience with so many great memories and photos we took back with us. To Kelvin, Brenda, and Issac both Dylan and I are grateful that you cared enough to make sure this father son trip was so special! Thank you!! We HIGHLY recommend Goldfinch-Adventures!!

Amazing experience
The experience was amazing thanks to our guide Wilson and manager Richard – we went during the low season and saw all the Big 5 in the first few days, plus many more animals we weren’t even expecting. Wilson was truly a professional, and made sure we always had the best view. Highly recommend!

Very well organized tour, helpful in all matters, perfect service, reliable, and so friendly
We booked our tour with Terasis online from Germany. From first contact on Terasis was very helpful to arrange the tour according to our wishes and we booked a 14 day safari which we expanded during the trip for three more days. The communication with Terasis is nice and perfect in English. He responses quickly and offers a really good service in all matters. Payment is no problem and the price is absolutely correct, also fair for our extended days. He made all our wished come true and the car we had for almost three weeks was in good and reliable condition. Amazing what a car can stand in Uganda ;) Thanks to our driver - Yonah - we had an absolutely fantastic trip. Yonah made so many things possible and arranged everything for us perfectly. All accomodations were nice and offered good standard, good food, and friendly personel. Yonah not only took care that we saw the big five but also lots of wonderful things that were not even part of the tour itself. We had a perfect time in Uganda and still dwell in wonderful memories - thanks to Terasis and Yonah!

Excellent communication
First time in Tanzania and doing a safari so there were some logistics that we had to figured out. However, Edward and his team was great! The communication and flexibility was top notched. We had a wonderful safari and our guide Loth was awesome! He was friendly, knowledgeable and was always checking on how we were doing. The 3 days didnt felt long or tiring. The accommodations that we had set up through the tour was fantastic and all were very friendly. Thank you so much for being a part of our first time in Tanzania and our first safari adventure!

An amazing experience in Tanzania
Our safari experience with Serengeti Smile was well-organized and professional throughout our Tanzanian trip. The tour provided us with a valuable opportunity to explore the African wilderness firsthand, observing wildlife in their natural habitat—an experience that left a lasting impression.
Our guide Barnaba managed the drives efficiently, navigating the uneven terrain competently to help us encounter a variety of animals, including some unexpected sightings. He maintained a respectful approach to wildlife viewing and shared factual insights about the ecosystem, which added depth to our understanding.
Overall, the agency delivered a reliable and smoothly coordinated safari that met our expectations. We would recommend them to travelers seeking a structured yet authentic introduction to Tanzania’s natural wonders.

Perfectly organized to enjoy breathtaking nature
My 3 days in the Danakil Depression has been one of the most amazing experience I have had exploring Earths wonders.
The tour was very well organized and structured so we could really enjoy full days, unforgettable sunrise on the salt lake and the rift and breathtaking night walk on volcanic lava. So unique!
Maareg our guide is very experienced, reassuring and so kind. He, with his team, were attentive as we explored the differentes natural sites, so I felt very safe during this tour. Also the food served was great!
I am very grateful for this wonderful experience.

The operator was Magnificent
The safari with Mellivora African Travels was really amazing. The booking and email exchange with Fransisca was really easy and he adjusted the trip to our needs and requirements until we had the perfect setup.
Also everything was organized well and our guide Elia was the best. He made sure that we see a lot of animals and knew the spots. He answered all our questions and it was a pleasure to spend the 5 days with him. He is also a really good driver which can help as there are some rough roads.
I highly recommend this company.
