Reliable, responsive, and resulted in a fabulous vacation experience.
Our trip was delayed 3 years by the pandemic. From planning through to completion and all the adjustments that had to be made along the way, our Canadian agent, Baraka, was swift and informative in his responses. Now that we've completed our tour (including Hwange Camp in Zimbabwe, as well as Chobe, Little Machaba, and Setari in Botswana) I can attest to the quality of our guides, camps, the food, bed comfort, as well as the seamless transfers between sites. Our two highlights were Little Machaba (guide Pound was outstanding) as well as Hwange (where we had 2 fabulous night safaris following lion hunts as well as countless other wildlife sightings under the expert guiding of Peter). Setari was less comfortable (scorpion and spiders in our room) and less diverse wildlife though it provided a good contrast to the other sites, being right in the delta. Definitely a trip of a lifetime.

Best Trip Ever!
Having never been outside USA, traveling to Africa was always a bit trepidatious in the beginning. At some point, after starting to speak with Narry in the US office by phone and email, we became more relaxed.
Narry was incredibly knowledgeable about the different parks, different lodges/camps, and the ideal amount of time to spend in each location. The flexibility and options presented to us were big reasons that we chose to travel with Good Earth Tours!
When we visit Tanzania again we will definitely book with Good Earth Tours and Safaris!

Very professional team to organize your Safari
We recently celebrated our 5th year anniversary with an amazing safari to Tanzania. We received a very prompt reply from Baraka to our inquiry for safari and recommended itineraries.
We had a very nice holiday, everything went very smoothly and was as good as promised. James was our driver-guide, and I would absolutely recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and able to locate a variety of animals and birds! Always on time and took great care of us.
I can highly recommend Good Earth Tours and would book with them anytime again.

Well Organized Safari Company
Our meet and greet at the Kilimanjaro airport was so friendly and helpful and put us immediately at our ease. The Tour Guide Joseph whom we spent the week with could not have been more approachable, friendly and just went out of his way to make our holiday the best he could.
The accommodations and places we visited were all great.
I would surely recommend the safari with Good Earth Tours for the memorable Africa Safari.

Safari Exceeded Expectations!
Good Earth Tours exceeded our expectations and made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. Everything was taken care of from the moment we arrived at the airport, to the moment we departed. Narry, the co-owner of the company, was very informative and honest. He never pressured us into booking and never misled us, as other tour companies had done. After doing a lot of research, I found that Good Earth Tours offered the best value for the accommodations and game drives we were receiving. Other companies were charging thousands more! Narry made the planning and booking process very easy for us, and I was confident that we would be in good hands. He answered every e-mail and any questions we had very quickly, even on his own personal days off. Upon arrival, Narry went out of his way and took the time to greet us on the first day of our trip! Richard was our tour guide for the week. He was very kind and personable. He ensured that we saw everything we dreamed of seeing on our safari and more! He was extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and provided us with a lot of information about the animals, villages, and country. He helped make every moment of everyday count, as we enjoyed game drives from sunrise to sunset. Every day was exciting! Richard took us through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti, and the Northern Serengeti over the course of the week. It was the perfect itinerary for us. We were so fortunate to end our safari by observing huge herds during the Great Migration, and we even saw a huge wildebeest herd crossing the Mara River! Richard ensured that we had the best views and knew exactly where to take us. He was an excellent driver and we always felt safe. We returned home with the most beautiful photographs to show our friends and family. We were very grateful to have Richard with us for the week! Our jeep was very comfortable and was cleaned after each day. Every lodge and camp that Good Earth booked for us was extremely clean, had excellent staff, and amazing food. We were always comfortable and very well fed! We would highly recommend Good Earth tours to anyone looking to book an amazing safari and trip of a lifetime!

Awesome Safari Experience
Just Awesome Trip!
From the point of our first communication with Narry (US office in Tampa) to the moment we made the weeklong safari booking Safari, everything was flawless.
The service was organized at a high level. Transfer from the hotel and back in a comfortable Land Cruiser for a long trip (8 days) in rough roads especially in the Serengeti and Tarangire.
Great organization. Very friendly and helpful staff.
I would highly recommend Good Earth Tours for safari in Tanzania.

Beyond our expectations!
We went on a safari in Tanzania with Good Earth Tours; and it was an experience that I will never forget- it was by far one of the best experiences of my life.
Everything was quite well planned for us down to fine detail! The accommodations were spectacular and the food exceeded our expectations!
Our tour guide for the Safari (Abdul) was superb; always checking that we were OK and helping us to see all animals and birds we had on our list!
The overall service was excellent and I would highly recommend Good Earth Tours!

An Amazing Journey with Good Earth!
From the beginning booking with Baraka who offered suggestions was willing to accomadate to my request it went so very smoothly. Once on the ground Joseph the guide, driver was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, birds and trees. He also seemed able to predict which path the animals would take so that I was in a position to view these wonderful animals. Ausman the cook made some delicious meals a and was a source of information about modern African history. Their colleague Albert, in Kenya was also very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals. This trip far exceeded my expectations. I saw the Big 5 and so very much more. The wildebeest migration is a bit overwhelming so many animals. If I ever make it back to Africa I will be traveling with Good Earth Tours. I will recommend them to my friends and any6interested in Safari.

Good Earth provided exactly the type safari we sought and we had an amazing and wonderful experience
My husband, grandson and I wanted to use a local company for our Tanzanian safari and after researching options on Trip Advisor, we settled on Good Earth Tours and Safaris. I’m grateful that we did. Good Earth provided exactly the type of safari we sought and we had a most amazing and wonderful experience. We were able to completely customize our itinerary, so we stayed exactly the amount of time we wished in each of the four national parks we visited and were able to choose our accommodations in each of the locations (2 tented camps and 2 lodges). Our stellar guide/driver was perfect – professional, experienced, reliable and hospitable. The four of us in his Land Cruiser were a team for the duration of the safari, he handled everything perfectly and his knowledge was truly encyclopedic. Our grandson commented more than once that we never asked him a question that he didn’t know the answer. He always guided us to terrific photo locations and arranged the schedule so that we were there at the right time for the best light. The beautiful trip pictures we have are in large part because of him. Our trip truly was perfect for us and our gratitude is boundless to all the Good Earth staff involved with it. This experience always will be one of the jewels in our travel crown.

5-Day Safari
I never dreamed our safari would be as awesome as it was! And thanks go to our Good Earth Tours driver/guide - Aaron Richard. Aaron seemed to have an intuitive sense when it came to finding animals...even the elusive ones, like the rhino, cheetahs, and leopards. He has been a safari guide for 13 years, yet he seemed genuinely as excited to see the animals as we were! We saw pretty much every animal living there; we saw the Big-Five many times over! Zebra's, wildebeast, giraffe, hyenas, lions, cheetah, leopard, rhino, hippo, elephants, birds of all kinds, warthog, fox, turtle, crocs, monkeys, and more! We saw animals eating other animals, animals fighting, playing, sleeping, eating, and animals mating.
If you are going to Africa for a safari and want a guarantee that you will see lots of animals, then book with Good Earth Tours...and ask for Aaron Richard!
