4-Day Group Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater

We just got back from a 4-day safari covering Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and it exceeded every expectation. Each park had its own character: Tarangire’s baobab-studded landscape and huge elephant herds were a great opener, the Serengeti delivered on its promise of endless plains and incredible game viewing, and Ngorongoro Crater was simply spectacular - like a natural amphitheater packed with wildlife. We saw an amazing range of animals across the trip, from lions and elephants to giraffes, zebras, and more. The variety of landscapes in just four days was impressive - you really feel how different each park is. Highly recommend this route for anyone short on time but wanting to see the best of northern Tanzania. Four days felt like the perfect length to hit the highlights without feeling rushed.

We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Goldfinch Adventures. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised. A special thanks to Brenda, who handled all the arrangements smoothly. She was professional, responsive, and made sure every detail was taken care of. Her communication before and during the trip gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. Our driver and guide, Isaac, was truly outstanding. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of animals and had unforgettable close-up moments. He was also extremely friendly, safe, and professional throughout the trip. He also made sure we stayed maximum time at the parks and never rushed to go back to the accommodation. The entire safari was well-planned, comfortable, and worth every moment.

BOOK AND ENJOY THE TRIP I don't usually do reviews but when one deserves it it is more than right. We were looking for a local company for a Safari, organized a week before leaving. We had already bought round-trip tickets from Italy to Zanzibar, but still no organized Safari. We sent several requests for quotes and between slow responses and prices a bit too high (among other things of companies of our Italian compatriots) we were content, given the short time before departure. Then, Joseph of goldfincher, a message on whatsapp, helpful, fast and efficient and in three days organized the Safari, booked roundtrip flights from Zanzibar and organized EVERYTHING. Agency efficient, prepared and super available for every need. The Safari was PERFECT, the accommodations even if chosen at the last minute, were exactly as requested and make everything even better was Alin; our Italian speaking guide. Alin was also super flexible to our requests, he accompanied us in the Safari the whole time and in addition to showing you the 5 big five was super nice and non-invasive. Always clean car, basic but good lunches and fridge in the jeep always full of coche, water, beer and wine (which not everyone gives you available) Meanwhile Joseph, always made sure we were okay and that everything was going according to plan with messages on what’s app. I confirm as in the other reviews to rely on them if you have to book a Safari. In addition, I would also add that compared to other companies, we only had to give a deposit and then we settled arrived directly in Arusha, knowing each other in person. So that made it all the more reassuring. Having a big suitcase that I didn’t want to take with me for the 5 days, Joseph organized, making me keep the suitcase in storage and once back from Safari, I took it quietly, brought back by our driver who then accompanied us to the hotel where we would stay for the sea support in Zanzibar. Absolutely recommend! We'll send a lot of our Italian friends. Ps: when we least expected it Joseph also paid us a thought before leaving. Super cute. Pss: if you have more time to choose the airline, rely on flight link or air Tanzania. I think they're the best. Best agency ✨

Goldfinch were selected from the many on offer on the basis of offering a 5 day/4 night experience at a variety of National Parks for a price that seemed in line with other offerings. They delivered an experience that will live long in the memory. Robert was excellent as the organiser - he responded quickly and clearly to any questions raised, the offer and (subsequent revisions requested by us) was well presented and left no doubt as to what we should expect. Our driver for the duration was Sam had excellent English, was very affable and informative - not just about the wildlife but on all aspects of Tanzanian life. He felt 'part of the family'. (We were travelling as a group of two couples). The Land Cruiser we used was new and comfortable. It was cleaned down and out every evening, which was a nice touch. The Lodges we stayed in were excellent - both in terms of quality, staff friendliness and service. The safaris themselves were spectacular from the walking safari at Arusha to the mbreathtaking Ngorongoro Crater and the majesty of Serengeti. Everything went to plan. I would have no doubts in recommending Goldfinch.

The safari experience with Goldfinch Adventures has far exceeded our expectations! The organization was impeccable and the level of professionalism of the whole team really impressed us. We were lucky enough to explore breathtaking landscapes and get up close and personal with lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, hippos and more. Much more than we hoped. Special thanks go to Samuel and Joshua, our guides. Professional, kind and incredibly prepared. They made every moment really special. Thank you very much. A big credit also to Kelvin for the perfect organization and quick and effective communication throughout the Booking, Timeline and during our safari. We highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized and truly unforgettable experience.

This 4 day safari was the trip of a lifetime. Flying in and out of Zanzibar, we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Each park offered stunning scenery and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Our guide, Samweli, was exceptional. His knowledge, kindness, and dedication made the experience truly special. He went out of his way to make sure we saw as much as possible and felt completely taken care of. The lodges were beautiful, each with its own unique charm and amazing service. And the food throughout the trip was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari and tour guide, Samweli.

Amazing experience! Very well organized. The guy behind all this, Deo, was very kind and helpful, responding immediately to every question we had. The safari was beautiful, we saw a lot of animals. The chefs prepared delicious food with lots of options for vegetarians like us. I definitely reccommend Goldfinch Adventures!

Goldfinch Adventures were very responsive and professional when I was looking for a safari adventure. The whole communication went smooth and I was calm about transfers and accomodations. Our only job was to enjoy the magnificant and rich experience on those magical grounds.
