Lovely Africa Safari
Abundance of wildlife in breathtaking scenic views of Serengeti, Ngorongoron crater and other Tanzanian national parks I visited made that safari unforgeable life experience which was spiced by expertise and warmth of the Goldfinch staff.

The ultimate honeymoon destination
We had an amazing time in Tanzania. We did both safari and Zanzibar beaches.
For the safari, we travelled to multiple parks (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater) and saw all of the wildlife. It was a perfect time to go with so many newborn animals, less traffic, and the weather was great. I was surprised at how much wildlife we saw, much more than expected. The one thing to mention is that the Serengeti is extremely dusty, so pack scarves despite the heat. It will save your lungs.
It was also ideal for us as we were able to use USD and everyone spoke English. We felt 100% safe the entire time.
Zanzibar was amazing as well. The island was completely different from mainland and very relaxing. The island is much more tourist-focused, so something to keep in mind with interactions and experience. We still enjoyed every moment.
I will treasure Tanzania and the safaris we had forever. The people, food, and environment were truly something special.

A Lion King come to life experience
I had my trip to Tanzania with my boyfriend in November , right in the beginning of the rainy season , but it wasn't a big deal for the Safaris
Even tough it would be raining in the city somedays because of altitude it was always sunny in the parks with a cool weather , so I liked it a lot
We booked a 3-day safari with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club , D was our driver/guide/ranger
We went to Ngorongoro , Tarangire and Maynara . Each park was very different from the other so for a 3-day trip I would recommend this itinerary.
We got to see from close distance all 5 uglies and 4 of the big 5 .. Black Rhino was hard to spot and we only saw it once but from a very long distance.
About other tourism highlights I can only say about the hotel , which they had a dance and acrobatics performance every evening. We didn't go outside the hotel to the city and I wouldn't recommend it.
Also there is a very strong tipping culture everywhere wich came as a surprise for us in the beginning.

Excellent experience
Excellent experience, so many lions seen in Serengeti NP incl. lions family, all animals from Big 5 seen, really great overnight stay with excellent dinner and view from luxury tent in Serengeti NP in Intimate Camp Seronera. Safe adventure by sleeping in the tent in Ngorongoro Simba Campsite (Elephants, Giraffes, Monkeys around the campsite). At the last day of our trip - Mt. Kili trek to Mandara Hut: I expected some views, nevertheless it is mainly walk through the forest with almost no views. There was not done a side trip to Maundi Crater as announced, but there was quite rain at the time of being at Mandara Hut. Whole trip was very well organized by co. see-adventures, well managed by Justin. Great experience in jeep shared for 6 persons, Very tasty full board. Thank you for opportunity to be there, really enjoyed.

Fun trip
The driver arrived as expected on time, we paid half of amount in cash right at the spot. The car was land cruiser as promised, it had some issues like old battery (that die on our trip), it did not have a fridge, or wifi. The roof above the two front seats did not open for us (during first days), but it was open on the last day, so maybe they fixed it later. The driver was a bit shy and quiet, also English wasn't very good, so half of us did not understand what was being said.
We had 4 days of safari, and it was quite a journey: it was 8 hours of offroad driving with no asfalt, so it was a bit exhausting. We saw all the animals promised, however some of they were only seen from a big distance of 100m to 1000m, so you can see them better in the zoo.
Lodging was amazing, great hotels, with pools, great dinner and breakfast.
Lunches were very poor: it was just a snack box, not much was edible there.

BREATHTAKING
I really enjoyed this trip, It has to be my top trip this far. I cant explain the feeling of this experience between the Safari and the Island life. The Safari was definitely a dream come true. We had the best driver and best hotel crew everywhere we stayed. I couldnt have asked for a better company and welcoming. I would love to go back and I recommend to anyone that has the time and money to make this dream come true for them! Definitely take the leap and book the trip!
