Much more than a safari – an unforgettable experience
Just came back from an incredible 7-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro, plus a unique cultural visit to a traditional hunter-gatherer tribe.
The whole trip was organized from Italy with Anitha via WhatsApp. Her perfect English, deep local knowledge and endless patience (!) made it easy to design a fully tailored safari for our family.
Our guide, Sylvester, was exceptional. Highly professional, flexible and deeply respectful of wildlife and parks, he made every day special. His knowledge goes far beyond the Big Five—we were lucky enough to see all of them, including two leopards in the same tree and a breathtaking cheetah family feeding on a fresh kill. His expertise in birds, plants and ecosystems, supported by field guides in the vehicle, added so much depth to the experience.
Beyond his knowledge, Sylvester’s personality made the journey unforgettable. He knew exactly when to explain, when to help, and when to let us simply enjoy the moment. After seven days, he truly felt like part of our family, and saying goodbye was emotional.
From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, flexible and deeply human.
We highly recommend Golden Trips Tanzania for anyone looking for a private, tailor-made safari. They gave us memories we will cherish forever.
Asante sana, Anitha and Sylvester! ❤️

We spent 6 days of Safaris with Jocky Tours, it was amazing driving through the Savanna !
We spent 6 days travelling in Masaï Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli park with John.
It was wonderful, John is well organized. The flow was smooth and we saw a lot of animals thanks to him.
He is also really kind. We had good discussions.

Jordan was the best guide could ask for.
Our guide, Jordan, knew exactly where to go to see the animals from the best vantage points! Thanks to him, we saw all the animals up close (including rare ones). He looked after everyone's needs in the group, balancing stops, meal times, and driving time, and was incredibly patient. Overall, the trip was well-organized in every respect: the vehicle was comfortable (with power outlets for charging phones), there was always plenty of water and juice available, and there was ample food for every meal; the accommodations were decent (basic, but adequate). In short, it was an excellent way to experience this adventure! He shared a wealth of knowledge about the animals, national parks, nature, and more. His English was excellent!

It was definitely amazing and incredible!
We took a 5‑day safari, and everything was great. It’s worth noting the attentiveness and care of each employee: when planning, the manager answered all our questions [organizational, medical, etc.], helped us choose convenient flights, and was there when our flight was rescheduled and our entire schedule was moved — we didn’t know where or when we would arrive, and even on a day off, the manager was still in touch, adjusted the transfer schedule so that we were met and everything went smoothly. Our guide, Jordan, was really great! He told us interesting stories, showed us the best spots for photos, and took care of our well‑being. I got sick during the safari and couldn’t go on the hot‑air balloon ride; thanks to Jordan, we got almost the entire booking fee refunded! In short, we were taken care of at every stage, so the safari was safe and comfortable — everyone was fed and satisfied!

Perfect , excellent services
We spent 3 days of Safari at the Nyerere international park, we stayed in a lodge next to the entrance of the park, a structure all to ourselves, kindness and exceptional service, immersed in the magical nature that captures you every moment.
Mr. Daudi organised everything in an excellent way, from the arrival at the airport of Dar es Salaam, to the transport, to the pick-up in Dar with delivery of the excess suitcases not brought to the Safari.

Our driver Abel was super nice, excellent driver in the transfers and inside the park.
We always had fresh drinks to drink and lunch inside the lunch was super ..
Our guide Gladness super professional and careful in showing us a lot of animals that we would never have seen, detailed explanations of the flora and fauna. I recommend anyone to rely on this tour operator without any hesitation. Thank you for everything, for the emotions you made us live

Excellent company, which helps with every problem
Absolutely amazing company! The team really saved us and helped us out a lot.
First of all, our flight was delayed, so until the very last minute we had no idea what time we would arrive or even exactly where. Despite that, they still arranged a transfer for us and made sure we got to the hotel in time and didn’t miss our safari. The communication throughout the whole experience was excellent.
And our guide, Jordan, was absolutely fantastic. He even helped us get a refund for our hot-air balloon trip, even though it was officially non-refundable.
The food was delicious, and Jordan was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He told us so many interesting stories and facts — how crocodiles hunt and what they eat, why hippos walk alone at night, and much more.
He took us to some truly amazing places, and we got to see a huge variety of incredible animals.
If you’re looking for a great safari operator, I honestly don’t think you’ll find a better one. Highly recommended!

A truly amazing trip - Extra Miles is going the extra miles!
We booked a combination of safari and beach holiday through Extra Miles Unique Adventures, and I can honestly say: better is hard to imagine!
What we booked for us as a family of three (2 adults and our 13 year old daughter): private safari package for 2 nights in Amboseli, 3 nights in the Masai Mara and 1 week in Diani Beach, including all transfers (flights Amboseli-Masai Mara-Diani Beach and car transfer from Nairobi to Amboseli), accomodation, and a hot-air balloon ride in the Mara.
What we got: 2 weeks full of unforgettable experiences, amazing encounters and memories we’ll never forget.
From the very beginning, everything was just perfect – from the great advice and easy booking process (a big thank you to Winnie for taking such good care of us) to the fantastic support throughout the safari.
A special thank you to our guides Richard for the wonderful time in Amboseli and to Fred in the Masai Mara - he managed to spot even the most hidden animals – and he took us to an amazing Mara river crossing with hundreds of wildebeest. Absolutely unforgettable!
We also felt completely safe throughout the safari. The driving was excellent, and the safari vehicles were comfortable and well equipped, which made the transfer and game drives much more enjoyable. The choice of lodges was also spot on – great locations, beautiful places and a perfect fit for the overall trip.
The communication and organization throughout the whole journey were excellent. Everything worked smoothly, and we always felt well taken care of.
Keep doing what you’re doing! It’s clear that going the extra mile is part of your DNA! Highly recommendable!

Unforgettable.
I did 6 days budget safari in Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and Amboseli. Everything was well organized and our guide John was amazing: knowledgeable, reliable, friendly. Thanks to him we saw so many animals and beautiful sceneries. He was always happy to answer our questions and meet our needs.
The only thing i would have done a bit differently was the third day, when you just go to Nakuru and do an optional short boat tour in lake Naivasha. I would have done the game drive in nakuru at sunset instead of the morning after, when you have to do already a lot of driving to go to Amboseli. But it was not a big issue.
In 6 days you will do two full day game drive, one in mara and one in amboseli, one sunset drive in mara, and two morning drives in nakuru and amboseli. The rest is just driving from one park to another. Parks are spread out and logistics in Kenya is not the best, but that’s not the operator fault.
The experiences you will live are so beautiful that whatever issue you might have goes away, and when you come back you will just want to do it all over again.
Thank you.

My new experience at the diani beach is truly thrilling
The white sand, clear blue water and peaceful surroundings of Kenya's famous Diani Beach really impressed me. What I liked the most was the sincerity of the local people and the coastal Swahili culture. There is also the opportunity to visit historical and cultural sites along with snorkeling, boat trips, marine life.
For me, the best part of the Diani Beach experience in Kenya is the tranquility of snorkeling, marine life and exciting moments. Spending a few days on the Kenyan coast in Africa made my trip more complete. Definitely recommended!
