Serengeti really is "the place where the land runs on forever"
We absolutely lucked out with Gasper as our guide. He was on a completely different level when it came to tracking wildlife and truly seemed to have two sets of eyes. As a Maasai guide, his tracking skills and deep cultural knowledge clearly added another dimension to the experience. One unforgettable moment was when he spotted a cheetah stalking a gazelle. We followed the entire hunt, witnessed the cheetah’s incredible speed, and later had a front-row seat as it relaxed in the shade right next to our vehicle before heading off for dinner.
We saw the Big Five by our second morning, including two separate leopard sightings. The first leopard had 15 to 20 safari vehicles surrounding it, but Gasper managed to find a second leopard with a gazelle in the tree that we were able to watch almost on our own for an eternity. It became pretty clear just how good he was when another safari driver kept showing up right after our best sightings, including cheetahs and leopards, clearly following where Gasper was leading us. Beyond his tracking skills, he shared an incredible amount of knowledge, and his passion for wildlife and Tanzania truly shone through.
A quick tip for future travelers. The whole “beware of the tsetse flies” warning is totally overblown. Maybe it was the time of year, late November, but we did not see a single one. Pack what you want and do not overhaul your entire wardrobe based on internet hype.
We booked a custom itinerary flying directly from Zanzibar into the Serengeti, then driving to Arusha via the Ngorongoro Crater. For fellow aviation enthusiasts, if you are booked on As Salaam Air, do not worry. It is legit. There is limited information online, but check-in was smooth at a small terminal north of the domestic terminal, and the flight itself went perfectly. Gasper was waiting for us at Seronera Airstrip, and we immediately jumped into the vehicle and started seeing incredible wildlife.
The accommodations were fantastic, especially considering the very reasonable price point we were quoted. We were the only guests at Kumbukumbu Lodge due to low season and some cancellations related to election protests, which we never saw or experienced at all. Farms of Dreams Lodge was also wonderful.
I cannot recommend Golden Trips Tanzania highly enough for a true trip of a lifetime. Definitely ask for Gasper as your guide.

Very responsive and allowed us to customise our experience
Leticia was very responsive and helped us to customise our experience, which we really valued. Deo, our tour guide, was the best, really knowledgeable, fun and knew the best places to take us to see the wildlife. We were really impressed with the accommodation and would highly recommend Escarpment luxury lodge, they made our honeymoon feel extra special.

Great daytrip to Tarangire National Park
On Friday 10th of October I booked an impulse daytrip from Mto wa Mbu to Tarangire National Park which is about 110 kilometers. On Sunday morning 12th half past seven the fourwheeldrive with guide Edward on the wheel was ready to pick us up from our lodge. I invited two young people from Mto to come with me to the park. Edward was very friendly and he explained a lot to the youngsters in Kiswahili and to me in English. His timeing was very good, we were at the picknick before everybody was there and we left when it became very busy. Young Baraka was very happy that he could sit in the frontseat, with Edward taking really good care of him. Car was fine and we had no problems. All in all we had a beautiful day with a lot of sightings.

The guide Venance is extremely professional.
The tour guide of this travel agency, Venance, is extremely professional, polite and responsible. This is a key factor that contributed to our positive experience during the trip; he did his best to solve problems and was very optimistic and enthusiastic. At the same time, we highly value punctuality, and Venance did a great job in this regard as well. He would always ask us what time we wanted to set off the next day and would depart on time every day. If you are planning a trip, you should definitely choose him as it would be a very good choice.

Unforgettable Safari plus Zanzibar
We’ve just returned from an unforgettable 11-day safari and Zanzibar holiday, and saying it was amazing would be an understatement! Everything was simply perfect from start to finish.
First of all, a huge thank you to Anitha, who was absolutely brilliant in organizing the trip. She tailored every detail to fit our budget while keeping the experience exceptional. She was always quick to respond to our questions and made the whole planning process smooth and enjoyable.
A special mention also goes to Olaa, our safari driver and guide. He was not only kind and professional but also incredibly dedicated to ensuring we saw as many animals as possible. Thanks to him, we witnessed countless incredible moments — from prides of lionesses with their cubs to, on our last day in the Serengeti, a breathtaking sight of three cheetahs together.
The accommodations: Farm of Dreams, Kumbukumbu, and Z2 Hotel were all wonderful. The facilities, hospitality, and food were outstanding, making each stay comfortable and memorable.
Last but not least, the activities in Zanzibar were excellently organized and the perfect way to end our adventure.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Golden Trips Safari to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania.
Asante sana!

Whas nice!
I had the opportunity to choose a vacation from the Golden Trips Tanzania agency, which took care of me from the first day they picked me up at the hotel I was staying at. I chose a two-day vacation to the Hadzabe tribe, Datoga and Lake Easy, regarding these tourist attractions I want to tell you that only the Hadzabe tribe is interesting and truly pleasant, it surprises you with what you see there, but ultimately this is not the agency's responsibility. Regarding them, I am glad that they offered me all the comfort I needed, a wonderful accommodation at Lake Easy, food and of course a driver who was with his colleague who accompanied us to take pictures in the places we had to reach. I am glad that I had company on the road because they made my vacation even more beautiful by being very communicative with me. Thank you for everything you organized for me!

We had an incredible 5 day safari organized by Leticia and guided by Hudson.
Our journey started in Tarangire, continued to Serengeti where we spent two amazing days, then on to Ngorongoro Crater, and finally Lake Manyara on the last

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

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

Our Serengeti safari with Gyasper was nothing short of epic! On the very first day, thanks to his razor-sharp eyes, we saw 12 lionesses, a leopard with her playful cub, and even the heart-pounding moment of a lioness pride attacking water
Hudson was not only a great driver but also a very knowledgeable and professional guide.
He told us fascinating facts about every animal and place we saw along the way. During each game drive, he always managed to position the car perfectly so we could get the best possible photos.
Really impressive!
Leticia, who arranged everything for us, did an outstanding job.
We mentioned that we were on our honeymoon, and she made sure that every lodge we stayed at celebrated it in a special way.
All the accommodations she booked were excellent, with friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.
perfectly organized, safe, and full of amazing memories.
We highly recommend booking your safari with Golden Trips Tanzania.
