5.00We spent ten days on safari with Go Expeditions and it was just perfect! We are French, and the agency manager and guides speak very good French and English, which greatly facilitated our exchanges. With our 9-year-old son, we discovered Tarangire, Arusha Park, N’Gorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Everything has been organized with remarkable precision. We were pampered from start to finish, with many attentions and a real willingness to satisfy ourselves at every moment. It is an extremely serious agency, which even helped us reach Zanzibar after the safari ended, when the elections in Tanzania had caused the blockage of airports. This confirmed how essential it is to choose a local agency: without internet, they were the only ones we could contact and they helped us immediately. A huge thank you to the whole team, and especially to our guide Joël, who spoke perfect French and taught us so much. This trip will remain an unforgettable memory!

5.00I was a bit skeptical when the manager of Go Expedition approach us at the bus station. But he brought me to his office and showed all his business certificates. My 2 friends and I paid for the 3 days expedition. Next thing I know, he arranged for the jeep, an experienced driver and accommodation with all meals provided. It was a magical kingdom upon reaching Ngorongoro Conservation area and Serengeti National Park. It was beyond words. End of the day we left with lots of photos for memory.
