The most amazing experience that you to Joel for organising our trip from Moshi through to the Serengeti and into the Ngorongoro Crater and back. Our guide Gasper was amazing…searching for the animals every second and ensuring our safety. Very well organised safari with all meals provided and on time schedules.
Wayne Merrett · Australia
Meticulous
Well organised, plenty of feedback, all that was promised was met but the highlight was the guide, Gasper was a great driver ( believe me you need one) spoke English and had a passion for his job…. We regarded him as a friend by end of trip.

Highly recommended 10/10
I took two safaris in Tanzania with Golden Trips Tanzania and Berngo Safaris, who are partners, and they were excellent. Irene was accommodating to all of my requirements and multiple last-minute date changes from the moment I initially got in touch with her! The lodgings managed by Berngo are among the best in Africa, and the guides are first-rate and very competent. Modern safari vehicles make you feel like you're in a brand-new truck every morning when you step inside and the dust has disappeared. The degree of client support is unparalleled!

the best tour and travel agency 10/10
Thanks to Joel, organizing this vacation was a breeze! In Arusha, we had little trouble meeting up with Ombeni, our guide. We continued our safari journey to the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangeri, and finally the Serengeti! Ombeni was incredibly smart and informed about the wildlife; she gave us the freedom to take as many pictures as we needed to preserve these once-in-a-lifetime experiences. He took us to places where we could catch a glimpse of unique occasions and contributed to creating the most fantastic recollections. Easily among my greatest life moments. I will be asking Berngo Safaris for Ombeni when I return to Tanzania with my family!
