asante sana Our safari with Golden Trips Tanzania has been an unforgettable experience so far. One of the main reasons we came to Tanzania was to experience the Serengeti and see the Great Migration, and the experience has exceeded our expectations. We were incredibly lucky to see all of the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — as well as an amazing Mara River crossing. A huge part of this incredible experience was our guide, Ola. Ola is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable guide. He knows the Serengeti very well and has an amazing ability to spot animals, even when they are difficult to see. He also explained the animals’ behavior and the surrounding environment in detail, which made every game drive much more interesting and meaningful. What impressed us most was how much effort Ola put into giving us the best possible experience. He communicated with other safari vehicles to find out where animals had been spotted and carefully positioned our vehicle so that we could have a good view without disturbing the animals. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to see some truly incredible wildlife, including a leopard and rhinos, which can be particularly difficult to find. Whenever we mentioned an animal we hoped to see, Ola always tried his best to make it happen. The highlight of the safari was definitely witnessing the Mara River crossing. Ola carefully monitored the situation and explained what was happening while we waited. After waiting patiently, we finally watched a huge herd of wildebeest enter the river and cross right in front of us. It was an incredibly powerful and emotional moment, and something we will remember for the rest of our lives. Ola was also an excellent and safe driver, even during long game drives. He was always attentive to our comfort and patiently answered all of our questions. His passion for wildlife and his genuine effort to make our safari special were very clear throughout the trip. The accommodations have also been clean and comfortable, with reliable hot showers, which were very welcome after long days of game drives. The Golden Trips team was also very responsive during the planning process and answered our questions promptly through WhatsApp, which made us feel well supported throughout the trip. We are still in the middle of our journey, but so far we are extremely happy with our experience. Seeing the Big Five and witnessing the Mara River crossing has made this a truly unforgettable trip. A special thank you to Ola, who went above and beyond to make our safari so memorable. His knowledge, patience, driving skills, and genuine passion for wildlife made a huge difference. Thank you to the entire Golden Trips Tanzania team for giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!

Excellent 7-day safari tour The safari was absolutely amazing. The company did an excellent job coordinating every detail — rides, drives, hotels, camps, and food were all seamlessly handled, and communication was fluid throughout. Our guide and driver, Gasper, was exceptional: accommodating, pleasant, vibrant, knowledgeable, and genuinely funny. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals from remarkable distances and always managed to get us as safely close as possible. If I ever return for another safari, I'll be sure to request him. Witnessing the magnanimity and wonder of creation in its magnificence was humbling. The whole experience was so splendid and magical that it still feels almost unbelievable. Africa is in me. Literally, in dust form.

Amazing Safari Experience with an Incredible Guide & Photographer We had a great time on our safari with Golden Trips Tanzania! Our guide, Gasper, was incredibly kind and patient with us throughout the trip. He drove us all around the Serengeti, always taking care to get us close enough to see the animals without disturbing them. The drives are long and the roads can be very bumpy, and we had millions of questions, but Gasper was always happy to try another section of the park, look for something specific, or explain what we were seeing. You can really tell that he loves what he does and enjoys sharing his knowledge with guests. We were also joined by a professional photographer, Kakincha, who took amazing photos of both our group and the animals. Having him with us meant we could simply be present and enjoy the experience without worrying about getting the perfect shot ourselves. The photos turned out beautifully, and we will cherish them for a lifetime. Thank you, Kakincha! Our accommodations were comfortable overall, and the breakfasts and dinners were great for the most part. The only challenge was the boxed lunches, which took a little getting used to, but we adjusted as the days went on. If you are 20–50, reasonably active, and don't mind some bumpy roads and camping-style accommodations along the way, I think this is a wonderful safari to consider. You will see all the animals you could dream of, and many of them will come surprisingly close to the vehicle. It was an unforgettable experience! (attached photos are from my cell phone)

Real experts in Tanzanian tourist business I got acquainted with this company while exploring internet information on safari in Tanzania. I liked the client manager Rachel style of work and her sense of humour, the 6‑day safari program she made for my wife and me. Also I communicated with Samson, a very pleasant young man. My wife and me found the prices of Golden Trips Tanzania more affordable than what we were offered by other tour operators of this country. At last we reached Tanzania, and I can also say that Joel is an excellent guide and driver! We spent the whole day with him at Materuni Waterfall, went on an excursion to a coffee plantation, and had lunch with traditional Chaga tribe cuisine. We really enjoyed the excursion! Just today we have visited Serengeti National Park and are still under great impression of it! The wildlife here is something remarkable and so interesting! We had Ed as our guide and driver. His knowledge of all animals and birds is superb! To cut the long story short, based on my own experience, now I can recommend Golden Trips Tanzania as a professional team and an excellent tour operator in Tanzania!

6 day Safari with Gasper! We had a wonderful Safari with Gasper! The best guide in the world no doubt! He knows every road and path in the different parks. He spotted all the amazing animals for us to see. He took wonderful care of us and we highly recommend a safari with him. Gasper has his way of finding all the animals that hide. We got to see so many animals even when they were hiding in their special spots. Gasper is a superb driver and we felt very safe with him along the bumpy roads. Thank you Gasper for a wonderful trip!

Wonderful safari trip! We had a six day safari trip with our incredible guide Gasper! He was absolutely amazing, if not only for the fact that he had an incredible talent to find the most interesting views, animals and paths. He taught us not only about the animals we saw but also about Tanzanian culture in general. We could never ask too many questions and he was always there with the answers and an interesting fact to add. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this incredible trip!

A wonderful safari experience with the best guide! We had a 6-day tour of Serengeti, Tarangiri, and Ngorongoro with the incredible Gasper as our guide- and he lead us on an incredible trip. A hugely knowledgeable guide; professional and fun! He lead us to all the best locations to view the animals, pointed out things we never would have noticed on our own, and taught us so much about both the parks and the local culture! Gasper made sure to know what animals were most interested in, what we were hoping to see more of as each day passed, and always delivered despite the unpredictability of nature! He was also very gracious in answering questions about the local culture and customs, and made us feel very welcome to ask anything we were curious about. In all, a wonderful tour lead by the most wonderful guide, and an incredible first time on safari with my mom and sister! Highly recommended.

Excellent from start to finish We done a five day Safari for part of our honeymoon and it’s definitely been an unforgettable trip. We have been to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Manyara National Parks! All our lodges were brilliant with staff being so polite and helpful. Our safari guide Gasper is second to none and made the trip! Not only is he very knowledgeable about the animals, he’s kind, friendly and drove well! Would highly recommend Golden trips and Gasper!!

Outstanding safari from start to finish We had an absolutely fantastic six-day private safari in Tanzania, and a huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Gasper. Gasper was extremely experienced and knowledgeable, and his passion for the wildlife really showed throughout the safari. He was excellent at spotting animals that we would never have noticed ourselves, and his knowledge of the parks meant he always seemed to know the best places to stop and the best opportunities to see wildlife. He was also incredibly helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout the entire trip. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble, and he went out of his way to make sure we had the best possible experience. At the end of our safari, Gasper went above and beyond to accommodate our flight plans, making sure everything worked around our travel arrangements and helping to make our final day completely stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Gasper to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. He genuinely helped make an already incredible trip unforgettable.
