Memorable experience but minor issues
The trip on the whole was great, Ericah was fabulous with her communication, she was swift and answered all of my questions. It was evident she worked hard to make our trip as memorable as possible and was kind enough to add in some extra bonuses to our honeymoon trip.
Eddie was really good, he is very kind, answered all our questions and it is clear he is very, very knowledgeable on the animals and the surroundings.
I would say that his communication could be improved a little, we would have liked to have been kept up to date with where we were going/what we were going to see.
The accommodation was great, all the hosts were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable.
Our only negative was the numerous mechanical issues we had over our 5 days with the 4x4, which did impact our experience. Eddie did everything he could to get it working, however altogether we spent over half a day sat at break areas waiting to get moving again, which did make us feel that we were losing out to other tourists using other companies. Again, we were left out of the loop and weren't told what the issue was and how long it would take to resolve.
Overall we had an amazing trip and have memories for a lifetime, but the issue with the vehicle did leave a bitter taste. We hope Golden trips take this feedback on board, preventing this from happening to future customers.

Knowledgeable on the history and culture of the tour sites
Awesome experience! From booking the tour to experiencing it. All the staff i interacted with were patient, kind and attentive to us . They were well organized and accomodative to all kinds of clients including kids. Loved the rich knowledge the tour guide had on the sites and ability to answer all our questions including the ones the kids askedđ

Safari was great! I am glad I did this in the low season! The lodge I stayed in was disapointing, very old, no real place to sit down, shaggy restaurant m

Relaxing and Well-Organised Wasini Island Trip â Highly Recommended!
I recently went on a trip with Tedio Tours and Travels to Wasini Island, and it was a fantastic experience overall. As it was my first time visiting Wasiniâand my first time back in Mombasa in nearly 20 years since i've been living in Shanghaiâit felt incredibly refreshing and memorable.
The journey to the island took about an hour, but it was absolutely worth it. Everything was well organised from start to finish, including a smooth pickup and a thoughtfully planned itinerary. The activities were enjoyable and well-paced, creating a very relaxed and easygoing atmosphere rather than a rushed schedule.
The boat experience was particularly enjoyable, with a skilled and professional operator who made us feel safe throughout. While the scuba diving guidance could have been a bit more experienced, there were still plenty of ways to enjoy the waterâI personally had a great time wading and soaking in the surroundings.
The overall vibe of the trip was one of the highlightsâvery chilled, friendly, and perfect for unwinding. The activities were interesting and suited a group setting really well. The only small area for improvement would be the food options, but aside from that, everything else was excellent.
A special mention to Michelle, who was incredibly hardworking and made a great impression with her dedication and energy.
I would absolutely recommend Tedio Tours and Travels to anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable group trip. Iâm already looking forward to my next trip with them to Malindi!

Generally good but Tour Guide Disappointing
We arrived on Victoria Falls Tour at National Park Entrance and the guide hands out cold water bottles to everyone in the group, but mine was a used bottle which was 3/4 full and seal was broken so handed it back the guide he then took the last remaining full bottle from the esky for himself and excepted me to accept the used bottle. For the money we paid for the tour provided by Victoria Falls Safari Lodge it clearly shows customer service is non existent and they are a pooly managed company treating customers without respect. The tour guide should be terminated instantly from Victoria Falls safari lodge.

They really tried their best to do everything possible, there was sometimes transparency missing
We booked the tour online in advance, which of course sometimes raises concerns about whether the provider actually exists. It does existđ We then received several route changes; apparently, the budget wasnât enough for the route we wanted. The tour was shortened over the course of the days while keeping the booked price the sameâwe didnât want that. More changes followed; this time, destinations weâd requested were omitted, partly with flimsy excuses like âtoo much rainâ or âthe volcano is currently activeâ⌠eventually, we were able to agree on adjustments: no longer a private tour, but still covering the most important sites. I actually expect that when I book a tour, it will be offered exactly as I booked it. And that the money for my package will âbe enough.â
But maybe thatâs just the Tanzanian way of lifeâitâll all work out fine, and weâll see how it goesâŚ.
The evening before the tour, we sat down with the guide again and were able to ask all our questionsâthat was really great, put our minds at ease, and got us excited for the tour.
Then came the Serengeti tour; we picked up three more participants and saw a lot. On our first night at the campsite, we were greeted upon arrival by a herd of elephants running around the campground. Exciting and definitely special. We then spent the next night at the Ngorongoro Crater to explore rhinos and the crater early the next morning. Unfortunately, thatâs when the poor communication began; we had to escort a participant who had left the group out of the park. This meant we were all able to see less, but we werenât really given any information. Then we spent the night outside the national park, but without any informationâthis wasnât what had originally been agreed upon. We were then given incorrect departure times for the next leg of the trip. Breakfast wasnât served until an hour later than originally announced. We then continued on to Lake Natron. The drive was really cool because we got to see a bit of the surrounding area. There, we had a guided tour to a waterfall with a Maasaiâa definite highlight. Especially since we were there so early; a few more tourists arrived after us and had to share the waterfall, but we had the whole place to ourselves. That was really nice. In the evening, we took a trip to Lake Natron to watch the sunset and see the flamingos, and the next day we headed back.
All in all, the tour was wonderful if you can overlook the fact that, every now and then, things that had been agreed upon didnât happen. The driver and guide were very nice and knowledgeable, and the cook was also very friendly. The food was delicious.
We saw amazing animals and certainly gained many experiences that we will remember for a long time.

Excellent trip
Our Overall experience
From the first inquiry to the end of the safari, communication was clear, timely, and friendly, which created a sense of trust and excitement before the trip even began.
Everything ran smoothly on the ground, with transfers, activities, and park entries handled so efficiently that it allowed full focus on enjoying the wildlife and scenery.
The guide ( Angelo) was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about wildlife, always taking time to explain animal behavior, landscapes, and local culture in an engaging way.
Angelo was warm, attentive, and professional, consistently checking that everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience.
Wildlife and activitiesGame drives were well planned, offering excellent opportunities to see a wide range of animals while still respecting their space and the environment. Each day felt unique, with varied routes and viewpoints that showcased both iconic wildlife and quieter, more intimate moments in nature. Accommodation and comfortLodges were comfortable, clean, and well chosen, often with beautiful views that made mornings and evenings especially special.
Meals were tasty and plentiful, and dietary preferences were taken seriously, adding to the sense of care throughout the trip. Would recommend this safari felt thoughtfully tailored rather than generic, which made the experience feel personal and meaningful.
Beverly Safaris and Expeditions Africa is highly recommended to anyone looking for a well-organized, beautiful, and genuinely unforgettable safari trip.

Nice safaris in Kruger with Viva Safari
We arrived at Johannesburg and took a bike tour that was very nice. After we had a 5 days tour with Viva Safari. Very good but the jeeps at Treminisa Lodge were a little bit old . On our trip of 25 days this safari had been the nicest part.
