We did the 4night, 5 day safari to Tarangire, Serengetti, Ngorongoro, Manyara. Our driver Ziggy was a solid, experienced and knowledgeable driver who was constantly on the radio with other drivers working as a team to track the animals. We saw pretty much all of the animals when you think of African Safari, and the whole safari experience was amazing and better than expected. The 6 person Landcruiser with pop up roof is the perfect vehicle for safari. Be prepared with lots of snacks as the meals are spread out quite a bit (6am, 12pm, 730pm). The cost is less than that of other safari companies, but you go to the same places and see the same things. The difference is in the gear- tents, tables, chairs, food. It was all acceptable, but some companies just spend more on these things. We were grouped with four others and they had booked with different companies, which seemed to be a normal thing with so many options and timing or groups. Discussing the day plan and timing could have been improved as we were sometimes unsure how long until lunches, suppers, breaks, etc. Victor was very responsive with our emails and plans following up to our trip. He went above and beyond picking us up from the Arusha airport, drove us to the atm, gave us the safari briefing, and drove us out to our accommodations before our trip. Definitely reccomend Golden dreams.
