Truly Amazing Experience, amazingly professional operator
We booked a 5 night tour with Earthlife Expeditions in August 2018.
We chose to use them based on the exceptional responses that we received from Angel, right from the outset. She was patient with our questions, understanding of our concerns, flexible, responsive, kind and we felt that she really understood why we wanted to come to Tanzania.
Once we arrived, we were in the care of Mr Moison, who was our guide, driver and friend for the duration of the trip. I cannot recommend him highly enough as a guide; his knowledge and passion for all animal life was extremely evident from the outset.
If you are thinking about doing any tours or Safaris in Tanzania, and you want a good value, reliable, local company that is going to make it a trip of a lifetime, I would strongly recommend you to give Earthlife a call!
Thanks to all of the team for making our trip to your amazing country so incredible.

Amazing Experience
I was part of the group of 16 as reviewed by “Lin” and concur with her comments re itinerary, accommodation etc.
As we changed vehicles on a daily basis we enjoyed the company of Junior, Jeff, Kelvin and Daniel. All our guides were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and ensured we were always in a great position to view and photograph the animals. Was constantly amazed how they managed to spot some of the animals whilst answering all of our wide range of questions.
Thank you for taking such care of us. Your driving was amazing and your vehicles presented beautifully groomed each day. Thank you Earthlife for such a great experience and providing guides that are a credit to you and your country.

Good listeners to your requests and will do their best to fulfill them.
We just came home from a 7 days tour to Tanzania, Arusha, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and more. We had a great guide who was also our driver. The guide is the person that can make your tour a success or a big flop.! We were lucky and go the best.
We had a middle range type of tour not too fancy and definitely got the Return on Investment.

What an incredible experience!
I am so pleased with every detail of this trip. The company listened to our expectations and wishes and worked to provide what we wanted. Our guide, Abu, was very skilled in finding the big 5 and more animals. The accommodations were perfect. This was an amazing trip!!!

Memorable Multi-generational Safari
We were delighted to find Earthlife Expeditions, a small locally-operated safari company with efficient, informative staff and reasonable costs. Our online contact, Caudence, capably planned our itinerary, made changes and answered our many questions quickly and without complaint. Our excellent driver guides, Joseph and Mark, made a great team, complementing each other in personality and style. Both were amazingly knowledgeable about African flora and fauna and extremely able drivers, despite the dusty, rutted terrain. With their eagle eyes and passion for their work, we couldn't have asked for better guides!
All of the native-run lodges and tented camps were clean and comfortable, with lots of good, simple food served either buffet or family-style. Staff were always pleasant and helpful. A "family room" large enough for 4 was especially appreciated by our daughter and her children. Much to our surprise, wi-fi was available at the camps, but thankfully no TV. Although some camps had swimming pools, by the time we returned from our game drives, the evening air was too cool for a dip.
We were looking for a comfortable, laid-back wildlife experience to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our children and grandchildren. Earthlife Expeditions far exceeded our expectations, with a wonderful adventure we will all remember and cherish.

Trip of a lifetime
Our family safari with Earthlife Expeditions was a trip of a lifetime. The animals we saw and the varied landscapes we adventured through were amazing. Our guide Joseph was fantastic! He speaks 5 languages. His knowledge of the animals, their habitats and the Tanzanian culture was extensive. His enthusiasm and passion for what he does made Joseph an exceptional guide. We saw the Big Five and so much more. You'll return home enriched after spending time on the trail with Joseph. The whole group at Earthlife Expeditions organized an outstanding experience. The accommodations were perfect. The staff were warm and inviting. A trip we will never forget.

Trip of a LIFETIME
My daughter and I have been doing Mother/Daughter vacation get-aways for years now but something that had been on my bucket-list since I was a child was an African Safari! I finally made that dream come true for my 50th birthday and thanks to Earthlife; it was INCREDIBLE! From the early planning stages Angel was there every step of the way from answering questions, to making suggestions and fulfilling our every need to make our get-away one for the books! Our guide Moison, had super-human eyesight and was able to spot ALL of the Big 5 for us and the cherry on top was witnessing the Great Migration of the Wilder Beast after waiting only 5 MINUTES (we had a front row seat for that event)! People had been waiting 3-days to see them cross but we were lucky enough to see them within 5 minutes of waiting (just lucky I guess!) . Just to show you how incredible their customer service is, our luggage was lost in Israel (connecting flight - long story) but the bottom line is we did not have ANYTHING upon arriving in Africa. Angel and the crew at Earthlife spent the next 2-days working with the airlines to FIND our luggage and had it flown directly into the Northern Serengeti where we were finally reunited with our bags! They also went out of their way to have the owner of The House of West Kili to take us shopping upon our arrival so that we could get the basics (toothbrush, clean underwear, etc) since we had nothing to our name when we arrived.
If you want top customer service, an amazing experience and the BEST guides to help you see the Big 5, then make your planning easy and just select Earthlife Expeditions and leave the rest to them!

Wonderful safari experience
We, two befriended couples, booked a 5-day safari with Earthlife relatively spontaneously on site and were in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti NP. Our accommodations were very nice and clean, the organization ran without problems and also the jeep was in top shape. Our guide Mark not only brought us closer to the wildlife, but was also very entertaining and told us a lot about the country and its people. He has also always tried to implement our wishes. Overall, we all liked it very much and we would go on a safari with Earthlife and Mark at any time.

Amazing African Safari
If you have ever considered going on a Safari, be sure to go with Earthlife Expeditions and ask for Daniel Balela as your guide. We toured Tanzania flying into Arusha. We stayed in 3 beautiful lodges and 3 great tent lodges. The service was amazing as well as great food. More importantly, Daniel showed us every animal imaginable including a close up encounter with the endangered Black Rhino. His knowledge of the animals, birds, plants and people helped to educate us and enhanced the trip so much.
This was a trip of a lifetime and was better than expected. We were able to bring home amazing close up pictures and wonderful memories. Thank you Earthlife Expeditions and Daniel for making this possible.

Thank you Earthlife Expeditions and a huge thank you to our guide-Daniel (Balela)
We like to travel and comparing this adventure with others----it was outstanding!!!
It was more than we anticipated. It opened my eyes and gave me a new awareness to nature and humankind. The excitement and thrill of seeing black rhino, cape buffalo, cheetahs, leopards, and lions(to name a few) changed my perspective on life. This was accomplished by our guide. Daniel's knowledge, eagle eye, guidance, communication, kindness, and listening skills led us to our successful trip
