Trip of a Lifetime! Shangaza!! (amazing)
Good Earth Tours was recommended to me by a friend who planned a safari for them 10 years ago and they cherished their experience! We were looking for a tour operator who would allow us to create a custom itinerary and Good Earth Tours not only allowed us to to do that but worked closely with us to guide us through the planning process. The agent/owner we worked with was Baraka. He was excellent to work with: knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and he genuinely cared about planning the perfect experience for us. Our itinerary turned out to be 22 days long, including 5 countries with safaris, Victoria Falls, and ending in Cape Town. All accommodations were lovely and everything went smoothly..no issues, no glitches! Our safari guides were extremely knowledgeable, kind and lots of fun. We saw the Big Five on our first game drive!!
Good Earth Tours did an amazing job from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a tour operator for an African experience. In fact, I already have recommended them to friends! Thank you Baraka and Good Earth Tours for giving me a wonderfully unforgettable experience.

The best safari experience in Tanzania!
We just had our first-ever Safari experience in Tanzania and we had such a wonderful time. Our tour guide Fadhil was fantastic, and he made our trip memorable (July 1-6, 2024). He is experienced, friendly, patient, and accommodating. The hotels we stayed in were top-notch. The transportation which was a Land Cruiser, was comfortable with charging stations so we could make sure our camera and devices were ready to go.
We picked the five days Northern Tanzania safari on this trip. The first day when we arrived, we toured Arusha town and took it easy that day since we flew in from Hawaii and the flight was unbelievably long (25 hours). On the second day we started our game drive to the Ngorongoro National Park and our guide was able to find us many exotic animals to see up close including many lions, hyenas, leopard and rhinos. When we went back to the hotel that evening, we talked to another family, and they were surprised that our tour guide was able to find those animals in the park that they didn’t get to see.
After Ngorongoro, we headed to Serengeti for more game driving. We stayed at the Mbuzi Mawe Serena Camp. My husband booked the trip and I was extremely skeptical about staying at a camp in the middle of the safari but to my surprise, the camp was extremely comfortable and it had a bathroom on each tent. We were woken up each night by different animal sounds as they were probably extremely close to us. In Serengeti, our tour guide was also able to take us to visit one of the Masai villages and we saw how they lived and visited their school. It was the highlight of our trip.
On the second day in Serengeti, my husband told our guide he really wanted to see the great migration on this trip but unfortunately, we were three weeks behind the migration and the animals had left. Fadhil was able to drive us to West Serengeti to see the tail end of the migration. It was amazing to have thousands of animals following one another to Kenya. Our tour guide really went above and beyond to make our trip special. All the hotels we stayed in were clean and comfortable, and we felt extremely safe. Thanks again for the wonderful trip, we highly recommend this company!

Incredible Safari Experience
A well organized and enjoyable 14 days safari into both Kenya and Tanzania.
Services were far beyond our expectations with both of their guides in Kenya and Tanzania. They were just awesome; helping us have such memorable and unforgettable experiences.
I hope to return to Africa another time to do a longer safari and would not hesitate to book with them again.

An exciting Africa Adventure
We used Good Earth Tours to book our trip to Tanzania and South Africa, and I would highly recommend them. They made everything extremely simple, they had excellent communication. Narry could not have planned a better trip. We simply gave him our travel dates, preferences on level and type of accommodations, and a budget and he took care of the rest! We were given very detailed itineraries with all the information we could possibly need.
The vehicles were of high quality, and the guides drove us extremely safely. We stayed in both lodges and tented camps, all of which were very clean, great meals and great locations!
We had a fantastic experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Good Earth Tours!

Extraordinary Safari Experience!
I can’t say enough about our recent Africa safari with Good Earth Tours! We were delighted with every aspect - the accommodation, the food, the attention to detail, and the kind local guides.
The locations visited (Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Victoria Falls and Cape town) were each amazing in their own way!
Our guides were arguably the most important part of the whole safari experience. Their attention to detail were flawless and their knowledge on the game drives were unsurpassed. Our safari vehicle, a 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser had large sliding windows, sockets & fridge!
We had an AMAZING trip with memories that will last a lifetime!

Unforgettable Africa safari to Tanzania and Rwanda!
We spent 7 days in Northern Tanzania to capture the Migration in the Serengeti; and another 4 days in Rwanda to trek Gorillas. Good Earth Tours selected accommodation, a great itinerary and provided us with guides who were knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and excellent at spotting wildlife.

Just Perfect!
My wife and I had a great safari experience with Good Earth Tours this January.
One of the important factors on the quality of that experience was the advises we received from Narry while planning for the trip; He helped us every step of the way including suggestion on international flight.
The tours, guides, office staff, meals and accommodations were all wonderful and far beyond what we had hoped for.
It was an all round excellently organized tour.

Fabulous safari experience
We did a 7 Days Tanzania safari with Good Earth Tours. Our whole experience was greatly enhanced by our first-class driver/guide, Juma Komba, aka Bush Baby! He is extremely knowledgeable about not only the wildlife and birds but about Tanzania in general. We learned so much from him and are thankful that we chose Good Earth Tours for our first Africa Safari!
I couldn't think of any other company I'd go with besides Good Earth Tours!

Breathtaking landscapes, warmth of the team ensured an experience that will cherished for life
Exceptional 9-Day Lemosho Route Expedition with Good Earth Tours!
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the 9-day Lemosho route expedition with Good Earth Tours, and the experience exceeded all expectations.
From the onset, the journey was marked by exceptional professionalism and warmth. Our guide, Samson Maliwanga, showcased unparalleled expertise, ensuring our safety, comfort, and enjoyment throughout the expedition. His skills in monitoring oxygen levels and heart rates instilled confidence, and his dedication to every traveler's well-being was truly remarkable.
Moreover, the incredible individuals supporting us, whom I affectionately referred to as "the amazing people," were the heartbeat of this expedition. Though often termed as porters, they represented so much more – individuals brimming with kindness and warmth. Their unwavering commitment to ensuring our comfort and well-being was evident in every interaction. They graciously handled all tasks, from camp setup to meal preparation, all while radiating positivity and genuine kindness. Each one of them contributed to the magical experience by being more than just porters, but as genuinely wonderful individuals.
Witnessing their dedication and experiencing their warmth added an extra layer of joy to the breathtaking landscapes. The combination of the fantastic natural beauty and the incredible people transformed this journey into an unforgettable adventure.
I highly recommend the 9-day Lemosho route with Good Earth Tours to anyone seeking an extraordinary journey up Mount Kilimanjaro. The combination of exceptional service, breathtaking landscapes, and the warmth of the team ensured an experience that will be cherished for a lifetime.
I strongly recommend considering Samson Maliwanga for a lead guide position if you plan a trip to Kilimanjaro with Good Earth Tours. His exceptional leadership qualities would undoubtedly elevate the tour experience for future travelers.
Thank you to Good Earth Tours and Samson for an adventure that exceeded all expectations!
