Reliable, experienced, flexible, competitive - Private safari for 2 tailored to what we wanted
We booked a 5-night, 6-day private safari for two with Joel at Golden Trip directly from the UK, and from the very beginning, the communication and attention to detail were flawless. Joel was very responsive and accommodating, tailoring the itinerary to match our preferences with great flexibility in choosing both the parks and the accommodations. He gave us a full and detailed itinerary in advance for approval and the price was also very competitive—especially compared to group safari options. We paid a deposit to secure the accommodations and the balance on arrival.
Joel greeted us at Arusha airport along with our driver and guide, Deo. After a quick briefing, we set off on our adventure: starting with Tarangire National Park, followed by two unforgettable days in the Serengeti (both North and Central), a day exploring the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and finishing with a walking safari in Arusha National Park, accompanied by an armed ranger and a final game driver with Deo.
Deo was outstanding —an expert driver who made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. His deep knowledge of Tanzania, its wildlife, and the national parks improved our experience. He was patient, attentive, and always calm, even in challenging situations. Watching his friendly interactions and cooperation with other guides and rangers added a lovely human touch to the trip.
This safari was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I’ll cherish the moments and memories forever. Highly recommended!
Notes: our trip was a lot of travelling and tiring. I would probably stay 2 nights in Central Serengeti and explore from there, rather than moving every night. I highly recommend the bush tented camps (large tents with bathrooms). Expect a lot of dust (especially during the dry season) and eneven roads (African full body massage... )
Incredible
We had an amazing safari with Golden Trips Tanzania! Our guide, Olaa, was fantastic - super knowledgeable about the animals and plants, and really skilled at spotting wildlife even from far away.
In the Serengeti, we sometimes had to drive long distances to find animals, but Olaa’s patience and experience made all the difference.
Thanks to him, we saw so much and learned a lot along the way.
Highly recommend Golden Trips and Olaa for an unforgettable safari!

Definitly recomended!
Great
Excellent company. I have never regretted my choice. They delivered on everything they promised and more. The entire team did a great job on the Kilimanjaro climb. The porters were very friendly and cheerful, and the cooks cooked delicious food. Special thanks to the guides, including the leader Dixon, Noah, Wilson, Bob, and Bonnie. They explained everything clearly and helped with everything. They were also very cheerful. Without them, our team would not have been able to reach the summit. I highly recommend this company for traveling in Tanzania.

Total professionals with deep knowledge on safaris! Much recommended
5 star tour operators! Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish!
We initiated the planning months before the trip with Leticia who was very communicative, with deep knowledge on safaris and responded each time very quickly.
We made a package for a six day safari plus 3 nights in Zanzibar, with all transportation included - the value for money of this agency was the best!
The safari was a lifetime experience, our guide was Sam (who we adore), he is a very experienced guide, he knows the parks like the palm of his hand and made everything easy for us during the safari - plus we was very eager to find the best spots for us to see all animals and a hive the Big Five goal!
Really really good 🙌🏼

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Golden Trips Tanzania
After comparing several quotes for a safari experience, we chose Golden Trips Tanzania - and we’re so glad we did. From the outset, Leticia was incredibly patient and efficient, helping us craft the perfect itinerary. Not only did she tailor the trip to our preferences, but she also proposed higher-quality accommodation than some competitors, all at a competitive price.
Our 7-day journey began at Kilimanjaro Airport and took us through Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, Eastern Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and finally to the Northern Serengeti, before flying out from Kogatende Airstrip to Zanzibar.
Leticia handled every detail seamlessly, from airport pickup and safari accommodation to dietary requirements, park entry bookings, a hot air balloon experience in the Northern Serengeti, and our departure flight. Her organisation made the entire trip stress-free.
The accommodation she arranged was excellent: Heart and Soul Lodge in Lake Manyara, Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp, Kumbukumbu Luxury Tented Camp in the Serengeti, and Ang’ata Migration Camp. All were first-class, though the migration camp was perhaps a bit remote from the Mara River crossings. You can find our detailed reviews of each on TripAdvisor.
The highlight, of course, was the safari itself. Each day we enjoyed full-day game drives in a comfortable, spacious private Land Cruiser with large windows and an open roof, perfect for wildlife viewing. The vehicle was stocked with water, soft drinks, and snacks, which was a thoughtful touch. Each park offered something unique in terms of landscape and wildlife, and we were never disappointed: elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest, hyenas, baboons, warthogs, hippo, mongoose, ostriches, storks, cranes, flamingos, eagles, vultures, crocodiles and countless gazelle and antelope species were all spotted regularly.
A special mention must go to our guide and driver, Edward. Engaging, friendly, polite, and incredibly knowledgeable, Edward had an uncanny ability to spot elusive animals and position us perfectly for unforgettable sightings, including the secretary bird, lions, cheetahs, jackals, servals and leopards, and even, in the distance, two elusive black rhinos. Thanks to Edward, we witnessed three major migration crossings over two days, a rare and spectacular experience. Each evening, Edward joined us for dinner, sharing insights from the day and discussing plans for the next. His passion and expertise truly elevated our safari—he was an integral part of what made our trip so memorable.

Amazing experience
We had an amazing experience with Golden Trips! The itinerary and accommodation choices were great, and Joel was always attentive to our suggestions and requirements.
A big shout-out to Hardson — not only a fantastic driver but also such a wonderful travel companion.
We had a couple of mechanical issues along the way, but they never spoiled the overall feeling of the trip. Thank you for helping make our honeymoon so special

Best experience ever!
As animal lovers we had very high expectations for this trip. I could not thank more Golden Trips, Leticia and especially our guide Edu. The program was very organised, the lodges were awesome, we ate delicious food and most importantly thanks to the eyes and patience of our guide we saw the big 5 and a lot more. It really was the best experience of my life. And all the team was extremely nice and was worried if we were enjoying ourselves. I couldn’t have chosen a better safari company!

Value for money
We had an unforgettable 7-day Big 5 Classic Safari with Golden Trips Tanzania, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we landed in Arusha to the final day at Lake Manyara, everything was well-organised and smoothly coordinated.
Our guide, Hardson, was simply fantastic – striking the perfect balance between sharing his deep knowledge and giving us space to enjoy the experience. Being a small group (just three of us) meant we had personalised attention and flexibility, which made the entire trip feel very special. Hardson made sure we saw all the animals up close – including all of the Big 5 – and his expertise truly made the safari unforgettable.
The accommodations were good value for money, with Karatu Village Lodge and Osinon Tented Camp standing out as our favourites for their comfort, service, and atmosphere. The only slight downside was the rooftop restaurant at Summit Safari Lodge, which was quite drafty and the dinner menu underwhelming (though breakfast was excellent). We shared this feedback with the operator.
With so many safari operators to choose from, we are very glad we picked Golden Trips Tanzania. The itinerary, attention to detail, and overall experience we received for the price was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic, well-organised safari with a great guide and good mid-range lodges.
