Roger brought us to see so many animals!
Roger is very knowledgeable and informative, not only knowing where to bring us to see animals, explaining the animals way of life,
he answered all our questions regarding Kenya's cultures and fun facts along the way. Learned so much in this tour

Once in a lifetime experience, thanks to Williamson Adventures!!
Our safari with Williamson Adventures was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for and fully immersed in the beauty of Tanzania.
We did a 6-day safari through some of the country’s most iconic parks— Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara - each offering something unique and unforgettable. The lodges we stayed in were beautiful and set in stunning natural surroundings.
Ernest, our city guide, welcomed us with warmth and kindness. When our luggage didn’t arrive, he helped us feel comfortable and supported—taking us to a local mall.
Shout out to Ian, our guide on safari, who was truly exceptional. His deep love for wildlife and nature shone through. He was patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. But more than that, his passion was infectious—every sighting was exciting, every moment meaningful and we were able to see the Big Five. His energy and heart really made the journey unforgettable.
From the first enquiry to the final day, Williamson were great to work with. William was extremely responsive and made planning easy and stress-free with competitive pricing but not lacking in quality.
This wasn’t just a holiday—it was an experience. We left with full hearts, countless stories, and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you, Williamson

Golden Trips Tanzania delivers expert-guided, personalized adventures with passion and flexibility.
My family just returned from a truly unforgettable two-week journey with Golden Trips Tanzania, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their team was professional, flexible, and genuinely invested in creating a meaningful and curated experience for our family (a group of 4–6 at different points in the trip).
Joel, the manager, was a phenomenal coordinator. He was responsive, organized, and VERY patient as we worked through options to maximize our time in the country. He helped us craft an itinerary that fit everything we wanted into our two-week window, without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. There are countless activity options in Tanzania and GTT knows what their clients will most appreciate, acting as educated advisors and guides from day one. It was clear from the beginning that Golden Trips values both quality and customization of their clients' experience.
Olaa, our driver in Arusha, was always punctual and got us where we needed to be safely and smoothly. Despite constant additional requests, travel hiccups, or other unforeseen changes to the itinerary, he was there with a smile on his face to help.
In our first week we explored the Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. Eric, our safari guide, was deeply knowledgeable, personable, and always seemed to know just where to go to catch wildlife activity. His expertise and patience led us to witnessing some rare wildlife events including a major wildebeest crossing of the Mara River, a lioness stalking a herd of zebras, and a large pride of lions with cubs feeding. He also shared insights into local culture and ecosystems. When challenges arose, Eric handled them with calmness and ease. For example, on the very bumpy roads the suspension snapped a bolt on our Land Cruiser (not surprising, just wait until you experience the ride!), but Eric had support contacted, the suspension fixed, and us on our way within 2 hours, a truly incredible feat given the remoteness of the Serengeti. Unforeseen challenges will arise on your trip, but the GTT operators were constantly adept at addressing them quickly and keeping things moving forward smoothly. Over the week, Eric truly became a friend and truly made the experience one-of-a-kind for our family.
Our second week was a 7-day hike up Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route, and it exceeded all expectations. We were guided by Dickson and Noah, both of whom were incredibly calm, experienced, and highly attentive to our group’s needs throughout. They struck the perfect balance between keeping us safe and making the experience enjoyable, informative, and encouraging. The entire support crew, including our chef (Chiks who could outcook you with one hand tied behind his back at 15,000ft), waiter, and team of porters did a consistently impressive job supporting our team up and down the mountain. They put safety first, but did everything they could to ensure we were successful in summitting the mountain, which we completed with their support. I wouldn't have wanted to summit with any other team.
Of all the tour groups we evaluated Golden Trips Tanzania stands out for its customization and flexibility, knowledgeable and personable guides, and local expertise. I would give a strong recommendation to anyone looking to explore this beautiful country to consider Golden Trips Tanzania.

great ever
We did a six-day safari. The planning, the accommodations, the conduct, were impeccable. Our guide, Robert, was something extraordinary. His knowledge, familiarity with the animal world, experience, and wisdom were an integral part of our excellent experience during the trip.

Easy, friendly, safe.
Our tour company organised our transfer to Kruger with SafariLinkSA.
Our driver was Tiyani and he was a friendly face from the get go. Safe driving. Nothing to complain about. Free wifi on board which was a pleasant surprise!
There were 2 stops along the way, free toilets. KFC (and other shops) and a fruit store (where you can purchase juices and sample local fruits). Can pay by card for both.
Everything was a breeze. Would recommend to anybody.

Sensational
Everything was perfect. They bought my tickets from Zanzibar to Arusha. The transportation, accommodations, food—everything was very well organized. They are always available for any questions and always respond as quickly as possible.

Great Maasai Mara Experience
I had a wonderful Maasai Mara safari trip with Jocky Tours and my driver, Wycliffe. Although the trip was quite short (Only 3 days. I highly recommend going for longer because the drive from Nairobi to Maasai Mara takes 6–7 hours, which leaves very little time for game viewing), I had the chance to see elephants, lions, cheetahs, and — very luckily — witness a spectacular river crossing during the great wildebeest migration.
Wycliffe was very thoughtful and knowledgeable about the Maasai Mara, and he shared a lot of information with us throughout the trip. I stayed at Lenchada Camping, and as a solo traveller, I was given a private tent with full amenities and a spacious bathroom. The staff at the tour office were also very kind — they even accompanied me to exchange money since I hadn’t brought USD or KES.
One small suggestion would be for Lenchada Camping: since the tents are not soundproof, we could hear everything going on outside. Some guests were talking and laughing very loudly in the middle of the night, while most people needed to rest early after a long day and to wake up early the next morning. For this reason, it would be helpful if Lenchada had a rule prohibiting noise after 10 or 11 PM to ensure all guests can rest and stay healthy.
Overall, I was very satisfied with the trip and hope to return someday.

Amazing 6-Day Safari-Adventure
We had a sensational 6-day safari through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara NPs.
Our guide, John, was excellent and showed us the best spots, always bringing us very close to the animals, and fully accommodating our requests. He knew everything about nature (both plants and animals) and also told us a lot about the culture and lifestyle of the locals. He was always cheerful, funny, and well-connected with the other guides, which was very helpful in spotting rare animals, such as the rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater. The perfect guide!!! Highly recommended!
We booked the luxury option with Mountain Warriors. The lodges and camps were very well equipped, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was always plentiful, but of course typical of the area (be sure to bring enough stomach/intestinal medication (-; !).
We saw the Big Five (even three leopards, some with prey). John drove us also to the Northern Serengeti, and we were able to experience the great migration of wildebeest and zebras along the Mara River! Impressive!!!
Another highlight was the balloon ride over the Serengeti with sunrise, followed by an "Out of Africa" breakfast under the open sky with elephants almost at your fingertips. Not exactly cheap, but worth every dollar!!
Special thanks to Rehema! She planned the trip with us and remained patient and friendly throughout, even when we had changes and special requests. Also the flight to Zanzibar from Arusha and the tranfer to our Club she managed very fine. No problems at all !
Mountain warriors is a very professional company with a very good staff and equipment. The cars (about 30 Land Cruisers) are comfortable and good in shape.
We recommend to do the safari with Mountain Warriors because they make this once in a lifetime experience unforgettable!!!
