Good honest operator with good communication.
Contacted a number of operators for a quote last minute. Gadiel responded quickly and provided the best price and communication. He was even able to arrange an upgrade and later transportation. I was a bit hesitant paying so much upfront without meeting anyone but the driver picked me up as arranged in the Mor ING and had a great experience!

Quite reliable
Was a great value for money. It was a great team who made sure we had the best experience possible. They were also quite flexible in accommodating our personalisations to the schedule.
Reliable and up to our expectations
We did a 5 day Safari (group of 6) through Tarangire, The Serengeti and Ngorongoro and were delighted with the service; great food, great insights from our guide Solomon, and very efficient and rapid communication with Gadiel to organize everything through WhatsApp. He even helped us arrange our onward travel to Nairobi. Would warmly recommend Good One Tours for your time in Tanzania's national parks!

The Kilimanjaro tour for 5 days was an excellent experience in my life. The guide Eli and his team: Rama, Gregory, Calvin they were so nice and took care of me during the hiking. The food and service were good :) Thank you for all of you.

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari in Serengeti & Ngorongoro!
We ( couple) recently went on a 3-day safari from Arusha to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, smooth, and exceeded our expectations.
Right from the beginning, the communication and planning with Gadiel were excellent. This was the reason why I choose GoodOne. Our adventure begun from the Kilimanjaro airport, cool man Justin met us just in front of airport. Our plans had changed few times from original itinerary by our request - all of our request accepted by Gadiel. Many thanks for that. In our last day, I had a health problem- I really needed a medical emergency help- all the time Gadiel was with me and did everything from his side to feel us like at home. Thanks again.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend this tour. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we can’t wait to return!
Thank you to the amazing team for making this trip so special!

First Safari, Saw It All
Seasoned traveler, only my second tour, and first safari. I chose Good One Tours through safaribookings.com because at the time, they were the only ones offering anything longer than 6 days. I selected their posted 8-Day safari, was able to swap out the cultural village tour day for a walking safari in Arusha National Park, and was pleased with the discounted quote - which I paid in advance in two installments using their secure Pesapal online payment system. In trying to prepare the best I could, Gadiel was always quick to answer questions saying everything was provided - which was not always the case. On arrival, my hotel had changed...as the provided itinerary states is a possibility, and Gadiel came to the hotel to explain my itinerary had also changed - based on grouping me with another tour company that was leaving the following day with room for a solo traveler visiting Tarangire, 3-days in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater (which were the safari highlights and would have been sufficient), and Lake Manyara National Park - which I currently do not recommend due to climate change rising waters of the lake, loss of grasslands, and slash and burns happening all over the park to recreate habitat for the minimal animals seen. Otherwise, I spent only two days with Good One Tours and Martin was definitely the highlight as my guide and driver for Arusha National Park, Napuru Waterfalls, and return to JRO airport. He was prompt, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely interested in connecting and sharing with me on numerous levels beyond my just being another customer. He was not constantly on his phone, trying to pass me off to strangers, attempting to 'witness' debate me about Christianity and religion, and I never would have made it to/from Napuru Falls without his help navigating the said "30-minute walk" with undisclosed steep trail, slippery rocks, and crossing a rushing stream at least 7 times. He has a resilient passion for people and being the best guide and host possible. For the payment system and Martin, I can recommend Good One Tours but be prepared for 'luck of the draw' to what you finally get once there. Even with the worst of inconveniences, it's still a 5-star experience and just another part of the adventure.

Great value for Mount Meru tour
First of all, my friend and I had an amazing experience climbing Mount Meru with Good One tours! Hence the 5 stars. We were very happy with what we got for our money. There are a view things to keep in mind. We booked a private tour so we could decide our own pace. But everyone going up the mountain that day, shares one ranger, no matter what you book. So we ended up walking with several others. Only summit day was private. In comparison to other hikers we got a good deal but we also realized that the more expensive ones were a little better in terms of communication. Our guides English and planning skills were not great. Silva, the porter/waiter and guide in training made up for a lot. He was kind, funny and knowledgable. Summit day we hiked with both of them and they did a great job motivating us. Telling us they had no doubt we would make it, taking all the time we needed and even playing some music to get us through the last hour.
Food was also very good! Make sure to bring some snacks for during the hike, everything else was taken care of.
It was an amazing experience!

Excellent
I booked from Spain and since the first moment I had an amazing communication with Gadiel, who prepared the itinerary according my needs and everything was perfect. They picked up me at the airport, and droppped me at the end of the Safari. The Safari was super good and an amazing experience. The tour guy Kisamo was amazing. I totally recommend this company.

Excellent safari 👌🙏
Just wow! We had an unforgettable 3-day safari with Good One Tour, starting in Arusha, exploring the Serengeti, and ending in the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. We saw almost all the animals we dreamed of (yes, lions, elephants, and even cheetahs!). Huge thanks to our amazing driver and the super talented cook who kept us happy and full throughout the trip. If you're looking for an adventure of a lifetime, this is it!
